Subs or Dubs?!?

[Tom from the Top]

Subs are way better, I have watched a series that has been dubbed and then re watched it in subs and the dub is almost always ether off or censored.

 

[random mentalist.]

It really depends on the anime.

Most of my life I've watched dubs, but recently I've been watching subbed versions of animes. I think I do like the subs quite a bit better though.

There is a lot of dubbed animes with annoying voices, or they are just completely wrong for the character. If I watch subs, I also don't have to wait a week just to see a new episode. It gets quite annoying.

The only dub that I'll listen to is Bleach or Baki the Grappler, they're tolerable.

 

[Shanequa]

Bleach? Really? What dubs have you seen?

 

[Travy Boy]

Subs all the way. I cant stand dubbed versions ... well, db/z/gt being the only exeptions in this

 

[Seun A]

Bleach appears on Cartoon Network every once in a while, the english voice actors really don't butcher the Japanese translation and they match the voice and tone pretty well to the Japanese voice actors, I'm not saying that dubbed version is any better by any means...It's just a better dubbed job than most other dubbed anime.

 

[Robo action]

Really?! I find most of the voices absolutely horrible. Especially Renji's.
The only good dubb was Pokemon, but maybe I was too young to know any better.

I'm not really to bothered in most cases, although there's some you just have to watch with dubs (Excel Saga anyone?).

 

[rogkas]

Subs, and subs only.

 

[ShrinkyDink]

It really depends...If I like the voice actors then I'll watch it through the first time dubbed, if not subbed. Then the second time through I'll watch it the opposite way. There is only been one show so far that I haven't been able to watch the dubbed version at all and that is Saiyuki RELOAD. I was to attached to the VAs from Saiyuki. -_- No one can play the English Sanzo like David Matranga!

For me I prefer subs, but I have to download dubs if I want my girlfriend to be able to watch a series with me because she is legally blind so she can't read the subtitles. I try to find dubbed stuff for her but its really hard.

 

[Najmi]

I prefer dubs because I speak english.

 

[hotgyalnicky]

Sometimes, it's nice to put a series on TV and not actually look at it, while doing something else -- like being on the computer, cleaning, etc.

 

[thefirstone]

I much prefer Dubs

Dubs are Hershey's chocolate. Subs are fine European masterpieces.

Which should YOU eat?

 

[chevykid]

Pssh. The good dubs are Lindt chocolates.

 

[ioumatov]

I think the screen size should be taken into account. If you're watching anime on TV or on good quality, reading subtitles will be less tiring.



Hershey chocolates are cheaper and you can always find them around any store till. They are casual treats.

When you eat more expensive chocolates, you also think about savouring the taste rather than just eating and enjoying them.

 

[Brittany G]

You speak japanese?

 

[Asma T]

subs, dubs, meh,. anime is anime as long as i can understand whats being said, i can care less if its dubbed or subbed.

 

[__hellogorgeous]

I like subs better so I can pay attention to the story more. If it's dubs I might end up a couch potato.. But some dubs are done really well.
