Blackcat Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hello, I have always watched anime in Dub as I just prefer it but sometimes it can take so long for it to get released that I'm considering switching and to start watching in subbed, im wondering what people think.For example, I've watched Naruto and Naruto shippuden up to ....174 or something (the pain fight) .. in dubbed, would it be wierd to start watching the rest in subbed?

Of course not you have to watch the subbed episodes if you ever want to catch up to the big 3. Otherwise you're missing out big time.

† LimitLess Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm the same, I prefer dub all the way I had to switch to subs for Fairy Tail cause I caught up hella fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orochimaru Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ok Blackcat listen, in 2009 i watched shippuuden up to episode 100, that was all thee available dub at that time, and so since im watching Anime and not reading manga, i prefer to hear the voices and understand them instead of reading on a video.. So i waited 5 years long to watch Shippuuden, a few weeks ago i restarted watching Naruto from episode 1, and watched it all non-stop up to Shippuuden 230,i still have 20 episodes left, and after those, ill have to wait another one or two years to catch up to whats out there now... So you see, i consider it worth waiting inorder to really enjoy it. So yeah, my advice is to wait. But if you cant wait you should just read the manga.. If you decide to wait, theres so much other stuff to do meanwhile, and so many other anime series.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzou Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Its all based on preference which on you prefer there are some animes i like to watch subbed and some in dubbed but the whole story is that the most shounen anime I would watch in subbed for the latest episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenshiKeizu Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 If on TV, I don't mind dubbed. If it's a show I'm keeping track of, then subbed (I prefer to watch the show in the form it was meant to be watched in, which is Japanese).

If it's a show I'm keeping track of, then subbed (I prefer to watch the show in the form it was meant to be watched in, which is Japanese).Well, it was meant to be seen-heard-understood, and not read xD so unless you speak Japanese it wasnt meant for you in Japanese lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch a lot of anime both subbed and dubbed even though I prefer dubs. You are missing out if you are only limiting yourself to the dubs. A lot of my favorite anime only have been subbed. If you watch the first Naruto series which is 220 episodes and movies dubbed and you are 174 episodes into the 2nd series dubbed it will feel weird to go from dubbed to subbed, but you should get used to it.

SenshiKeizu Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) People think I'm weird that I prefer Dragon Ball subbed.Well, it was meant to be seen-heard-understood, and not read xD so unless you speak Japanese it wasnt meant for you in Japanese lolI prefer watching shows I'm their original form, which is the mentality I follow. Your mentality is too see, hear, and understand it, which fine.I'll probably only watch a dubbed scene to see how they handle a scene just out of curiosity.Watching it subbed means I won't have to deal with awful voice acting.

Shatterheartiel Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'd suggest trying both and seeing which you prefer. I usually watch anime dubbed, but if I can't stand the voice actors they use in the English version (in other words, if Yuri Lowenthal is in it in a prominent role) I'll switch to the subbed version. I think watching anime in your native language makes it more enjoyable, but there are exceptions to the rule...I could never watch Gurren Lagann dubbed; the drama in it was absolutely destroyed. There are plenty of anime to choose from for you to wait for something to come out, though - don't feel pressured/impatient to switch to watching things subbed just because they take a little longer to come out!

They got no sense of humor, at least the dubs try.I totally agree, the fact is Japanese people have a weird culture (awesome), and their way of talking is different, it mostly doesnt appe to me, but Rockman says dubs are bad which is wrong, some dubs are bad, but look at the guys from FUNimation, Michael J. Tatum who does the voice of Rintaro Okabe, it is freaking amazing.Look and english voices of Kakashi, Gaara, Orochimaru, Vincent Law, MUGEN from Samurai champloo.. Edward Elric, King Bradley, and so on, they are freaking amazing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† LimitLess Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 You're right Especially VIZ and FUNI who do pretty good dubs. I especially love Edward Elric's VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenshiKeizu Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) The only dub I like is Persona 4.I think it's cause I was use to the voice acting in the game. Edited September 2, 2014 by Rockman X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Drifted away from dubs, only enjoyed them when I was younger when I didn't mind bad Voice acting and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
