Most Common Anime Debate: Dubbed or Subbed? - Kayelkay - Mar 17, 2013
I'm pretty sure most otakus know about the most common debate when it comes to anime, and there doesn't seem to be one here on HF.
The ultimate question gets the ultimate discussion: do you like it dubbed, or do you prefer the original voices?
I have always been watching dubs. I normally refuse to watch anything subbed, but if it's only available as a sub and no one has fandubbed it, then I have no choice. Plus, I think anime characters sound cooler with american voices.

Original voices are best.
SUB>DUB

Subbed for me. For some reason, I really really hate fan-dubs.

If the dub is good I watch the dub
If the dub is bad or there is no dub, I watch the sub
Simple as that ^_^
I don't watch fandubs either

Sub>Dubs
I hate dubs and I don't know why ;3

Subs. Whenever I hear English pronunciation of Japanese names I want to slice my throat.

1. You can check both boxes, should change that.
2. Subs over dubs anyday, the only good dubs I ever heard was from soul eater.

As the majority of dubbing is done by those with American accents... I find it impossible to watch. It just sounds... corny.
Subbed.

Yeah I did that on purpose, what if you like dubs and subs?

Also,
When Kuroneko says "Nii-san"..😊 You won't EVER see this in an english dub.

Like most of AA I pretty much watch subbed.
I only good dubs, but not as much.
I never watch fan-dubs.

Subs over dubs. I hate the way most dubs sound.
* - Montie-Kin - Mar 17, 2013
Subbed. I too cringe at the English pronunciation of the Japanese words but the main reason why I watch anime in Japanese is simply because the best anime to watch is only in Japanese. I'm also learning Japanese so that helps and the Japanese voice cast is magnificent. I cried watching AnoHana due to the help of the acting performance from the voice cast. So much emotion. There's a good number of dubbed anime out there but ultimately, it feels better to enjoy it in it's native tongue.

Its not even a debate, subbed is better.
Dubbed voice artists are usually underpaid people who don't really even fit their roles. Also dubbed anime is usually censored.
