As much as I agree with everything, you say Goku is the strongest?

i go with the third one

I agree with the OP wholeheartedly.

I don't have a problem with dubs usually, unless they are particularly bad, but overall I do prefer subs. Besides the fact that the Japanese voices are closer to what the creators of the anime intended for the character- after all, it is Japanese- after I watch something subbed for a while and switch to watching it in English, the characters just don't seem like themselves. It's more of a problem of getting used to one set of voices than the other voices being bad, in that case.

On the other hand, I prefer the Howl's Moving Castle dub over the original Japanese voices, to be honest. Howl's voice is almost a total reversal from his Japanese voice, but it still fits him to a T. And I like deep voices put to attractive men. whee
I like Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo's dub better as well, but that's because I watched it in English first, instead of the other way around. I can't really think of any other particular reason.

Even if a show is dubbed I would watch it subbed! I love subs I just think they are better. emo

I may be Vietnamese, but there are still some Asian humor that I just don't understand. My family aren't the humorous kinds.

depends on who's dubbing it. really most female dubbed voices are so annoying.
and subs bother me because you have to read it before it disappears which gives you less time to look at the art. ...unless you understand japanese pretty well. but i don't. and i guess sub is good if you want to get familiar with the lang and learn a few terms. mouth movements don't bother me, since i can't look at their lips and read simotaneously. i like both subs and dubs, but i mostly watch new series that don't have dubs yet and some dubs are so disturbing, i don't even want to watch the series...netflix. no subs for some.

Highly depends on the anime.

Yeah agreed. And I'm sorry that your family isn't...the humorous kind. Actually Asians tend to be very serious it seems. Sigh.

Cool image but Goku is the strongest by far. Why? Uhhhh he gets stronger everytime he almost dies. He can destroy galaxies by like, peeing on them. He can teleport and use all sorts of cheater powers. Now he's a PART of the Dragonballs (the spirit and essence) so he is officially immortal and indestructable.

I know he's a cheater but seriously. He is what he is.
