Mostly I only watch subs because waiting for them to dub it takes way too long. Usually im watching fansubs while the show is still airing in japan, lol

:3

Dubs are so mangled that I really can't stand them now that I've found some good sub sites. I love Shippouden! And I'm watching CCS now with subs and it's so much better than the cartoon I used to watch everyday after school in English.

Hm..
 

I've never really liked dubbed versions but sometimes they are better.
It's kind of weird for me to watch an anime WITHOUT subs. :sweat:

hmm...I usually prefer my anime in japanese with subtitles because the ones in english sound kind of lame to me ( no offense to anyone that likes them that way)

anyway, the ones that I did actually prefer to be in english were Inuyasha, because Inuyasha's voice in english sounded hotter than his voice in japanese, and Fruits Basket, because the mouse boy's voice in japanese sounded like a girl =X

I prefer subs, though dubs are nice when you're paying attention to something else. I prefer most in Japanese with subs, because they seem to always get the voices wrong in dub.

I don't mind either but sometimes I watch the Hellsing OVA in Japanese without subtitles, with subtitles, and in English (hey, most of the people talk in accents).

Japanese with english dubs all the way.
American voice actors sound flat.

there is very few animes that i will watch in english just the voice acting doesn't suit me. I will say that if i do watch an anime for the first in english then i usually don't mind it but if i watch in Japanese first then i perfer it that and no other way.

Specially what happened when i watched Descendents of Darkness in Japanese first laugh a lot then watch in english to see how it was i didn't get though the first episode and had a confused look on my face apparently to my roommate :P

I generally watch the Japanese ones.

But I'll have to say that I really prefer Gankutsuo in English.

I prefer to watch them in japanese. I was used to watching Sailor Moon in english so the voices didn't bother me much but they still leave things out in the english version or they change the meaning of things so I rather watch it in japanese.

Personally for me there have only been three series in which I have watched both the English and Japanese without a problem. That would be Kaleido Star, Gundam Seed/Destiny and then Elfen Lied. In all cases I had watched the Japanese first to get the way it was meant to be then I go back and watch the English so I can listen yet actually see all the details happening. In those cases it took a bit to get adjusted to the voices again but they weren't horrible once you got used to it.

Though in all cases for Japanese. The Japanese are always better with the sounds, like screaming. I just reminds me of Kira in the Gundams cockpit screaming and it sounds so horrible and fake in the English but the Japanese are good at the screaming sounding real.

*shudder* The Kaleido Star dub is just... super-grating to my ears.

I prefer the Cowboy Bebop dub over the sub because the foreign feel and jazz influence on the show makes it not seem out of place. The only other series I've willingly watched all in English is Jigoku Shoujo. The voice actor for Ai was really good at emulating the creepy vibe to her voice.

Otherwise I will always watch the sub

i hav only ever watched the animes in english as i live in India but i did watch an episode on youtube once, you know the elevator part (gosh i love that part) , and i thought it was pretty cool, though it took me time to get used to it!

The only anime I think I prefer in English is Inuyasha, but that's only because I saw it in English first, before I knew about how to view anime in the original language.

Something that stands out to me recently as a case of being annoyed by an English dub was when I tried to get my sister to watch Ouran. She's a typical non-initiate to the world of anime, so I knew that I had to show her the dub to get her to watch it at all. Unfortunately, the English voice actress spoils the first episode straightaway because you can easily tell that Haruhi's voice is that of a woman. It certainly ruins the surprise.

I prefer all of my anime in English dubs, simply so I don't have to read subtitles that sometimes zoom by while trying to keep up with the action going on in the scene.

The only anime that I've watched in subs were only because the dubs weren't available.
So far, the only one has been Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei.
That tells how much I watch subs. XD

I guess I can stand to watch both. But I prefer Japanese. In the english version, the voices never seem to match the character. But in Japanese, the voice is almost ALWAYS a perfect match to the character and it adds onto the over all perspective of the person. For the most part, when I make an amv ( anime Music Video) I prefer for them to be in english with no subs so it adds more to the project. But the over all time, I generally prefer Japanese to english. Plus, The theme songs sound so much better in Japanese. If a Japanese opening is 'translated' to english, they change the words completely. the only thing that stays the same is the music. And often times, like in naruto, the song is completely changed, or the ending clips are changed into a slide show of pictures! It is majorly annoying!

I prefer to see them in English, bud when its dubed the quality of the show drops a lot. The US has far more censorship laws then Japan does, You can even say common words like Diarrhea in dubed anime let alone the cursing that they have. anime thats in Japanese seems to be much better.

I guess I'd say Negima. Though, to be honest, whenever they speak English they do it quite well, don't they?
