Subs or Dubs?

[PandaWookiee]

Im sure this has been asked before but what do you prefer? Subs or Dubs?

Personally I typically prefer anime in original Japanese with fan subs.

I prefer fan subs because they usually include extra stuff and they're just better. I hate big company subs when they import shows into the states, and I almost always hate dubs. The Japanese voice acting is usually a lot better or the English voice acting just blows. There are however a few shows I prefer in English such as Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Samurai Champloo to name a few. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzamia was pretty good in English too.

I think it depends on the anime.

Miyazaki's films are dubbed really well (the ones I've seen, anyway), so I usually watch them in English. But when I watched Shuffle, I couldn't watch more than two minutes of it dubbed because the girl's voice made me want to kick a puppy.

Subs. When Anime is Dubbed they leave out a lot and censor stuff... and I'm not okay with that.

[HannahRoseLove]

I prefer subs because I get used to the Japenese voices. Though I do watch the anime in english if it's on tv, just to see how much they messed it up.

i prefer both because its true about what cencerd in subs and in the voices sound cooler since adult swim has they keep
cursing scream scream scream scream scream scream

I prefer subs.

Before the cries of "Weeaboo!" start, I actually prefer subtitles for anything that was originally in another language. If I'm gonna watch a german opera, I'm going to want to hear it at least once in german. Hearing it in it's native language just tends to give you a better experience, because that's what it was originally written for and that's what the writer had in mind.

I have heard decent dubs before, though, and a rare few that I thought were very good. I just tend to prefer the japanese "over-dramatization and emotionalization" over the performance typically given in the dubs by the english VAs. I like that in general as well, so it's not just in anime.

Disclaimer: This is all my personal opinion.

Subs.

[Creativerealms]

Why are fansubs better then official subs?

[InfamousHobo]

It all depends on who is the dubber and what kind of anime it is.

[Your Darling Son]

I really don't care as long as I get to watch whatever anime I like and be able to understand if whether I'm listening to it or reading.

[Not Tired]

Subs, I only like dubs in Miyazaki movies.

[YuukiKuran1997]

I don't really care, but I would like to watch subs if I can, cuz it's nice to experience it in its original way. but if I'm trying to something else at the same time, I'll watch dubs, but the name kinda sound weird.

[Eltiana]

I find subs to be generally better, but I have heard a few good dubs here and there as well.
