dsteeves07 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I mostly prefer dubs only because read always takes away from the action and knowing what characters are doing, but with the long animes I tend to watch subs just because I'm not patient enough to wait.

Sinistra Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have a slight vision problem so trying to focus on subtitles can be quite annoying. So I am going ot have to go with the dubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonhizzz Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I don't know why but i preffer watching anime english dubbed, the english voices are somehow nicer for my ear, but i don't mind watching with english subtitles if there is no dub.

SgtKenzo Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Depends on the anime really, with YuGiOh i much prefer the english dubs ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizar Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I prefer watch English Dubs. Beats having to look at the bottom of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astral_Goddess Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I took a look at the poll results and I'm amazed at how many people prefer watching English dubbed anime. I've heard from a lot of my friends that it doesn't really matter, most even prefer the original japanese voice actors as they cue in better and have more emotion behind their acting, most of the time.

infernal91 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Personally for me I prefer dubs, but that depends on the anime and how much they edited it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Valdearg Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Depends on the anime really, some Japanese things don't tend to translate well. Most of the time these days I usually watch the subs, however I always like to try out the dubs. I think a lot of the dubbing these days is a lot lower quality, though there are a few decent voice actors remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I took a look at the poll results and I'm amazed at how many people prefer watching English dubbed anime. I've heard from a lot of my friends that it doesn't really matter, most even prefer the original japanese voice actors as they cue in better and have more emotion behind their acting, most of the time. All in all, the majority of anime fans are subtitled watchers. It's just Kametsu brings in a different crowd by focusing on dual-audio releases mostly. Even have a site (English Dub Kingdom) that only features anime with English dubs available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Ryan Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I prefer English Dubs myself, but I will watch an anime with Japanese voices and English subtitles, if there's no English Dub. Example: I do watch Hunter x Hunter (2011) subbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KariyaSama Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Depends on the anime but I mostly prefer the original Japanese. Dubbing goes wrong far too often lol Also helps I speak a decent amount of Japanese so I don't need to stare at subs and miss everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danicide Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I really do think it matters on the anime. Some better dubbed, some better subbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 It REALLY depends on the anime. Cowboy Bebop - DUB >>>>>> SUB Naruto - DUB = SUB Crest/Banner of the Stars - SUB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ∞ >>>>>>>>>> DUB I also prefer DUB with action heavy anime, because I usually watch them for the explosions.

SenshiKeizu Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I prefer subbed. Although I prefer to watch Afro Samurai dubbed (seems more fitting to me). Other than that I NEVER watch dubs (unless as a random curiosity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-Am-X Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I like them both really. I started out purely as dub fan but there were some really great animes that I was interested in but there was no dub of them so, after so long resisting the urge and I checked one out and couldn't stop. If it has a dub version I wont watch it subbed unless they didn't and probably won't adapt the rest of it. And some anime are just horrible dubbed, like Rave Master (though I got bored of it after 3 subbed episodes), Medaka Box and many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annethem Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 it Depends some anime just sound better in its original language because usually once dubbed the characters sound like american surfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
