definitely subs
of course there is some decent dubs like black butler
but probably the worst dubs would be the ones in hentai (dont even ask) like bible black and a time to screw like ???? all the characters sound so passive and talk awkwardly omg
plus some old timey animes like evangelion and hunter x hunter(1999) are p bad x _ x
the most recent dub i find bad would be dangan ronpa though,, :U

Option four: manga.

Those Japanese voices can get pretty annoying too.

Dub, unless it's flat-out terrible. I don't really have the attention span for subtitles.

I'm happy with both.
If I have time and the anime is short I watch it both sub and dub. I also watched Saber Marionette J and J to X in Japanese, English and Spanish the same goes for Pokemon, DBZ and Ranma 1/2, but not the whole series.

I'm even okay with just watching the animation, no sounds/ no subs razz

if you're not watching it by turning off the sound and reading the characters' lips you're not watching anime the way it was meant to be watched.

I go with dubs... Hearing the characters speak in my language makes them feel a lot more relatable to me. Also, I love the English voice acting scene, good and bad actors included, and voice chasing is ridiculously satisfying to me. I'm a lot more likely to meet American actors in person than Japanese ones.

Always subs, the voice actors we use to dub screw up the timing of the mouths, the age of the characters in relation to the new actors voice and just generally sound horrendous. I'll take the art in its original form thank you.

I bet you probably think that there's more variety in Japanese voice actors too.

Bahaha.

No, but I'm very well aware that it's still a limited pool of voice actors and you'll still end up hearing the same voices over and over again in Japanese dubs.

Most people (like you, I'm assuming) don't realize this because they can't actually hear the difference due to the language barrier.

Wrong, while they do have a limited pool of voice actors it is far more extensive than in the Western world. Also I happen to speak Japanese.

No, that's just you not being able to identify individual voice actors. Which isn't bad, it's a sign of good vocal range, but that doesn't mean you know s**t about the numbers.
