How can people say this when they cant understand the language in the first place? 


I agree with Mere, i don't really care but i prefer the dubs. Maybe like him, reading all the way is just not so TV for me...

If most of you here hate the dubs, i think it's just a matter of location, dubber's talent, and experience...Now i get to agree with ayu, here in the Philippines we really have good dubbers, good in both english and filipino..Good in a sense that we get the right voice for the right character

Totally agree , again watching Black Lagoon up to ep 12 as english dubbed.. you will never get the essence of the characters "american wise" if you watched it subbed.. In fact you might dismiss it as an ok anime! It is fantastic in english the way characters are portrayed. Two Hands (REvy) would not be the same! Ep 12 with the leprechaun dude and the Chinese chick she called "chinglish" was hilarious!. ....but if you watched it stubbed,, it would've been just another shooting gallery episode. oh well..

Subbed or dubbed..

:] Easy.

If the dub doesn't appeal to me, then the subs are better. But if the anime has dubs and it sounds good, I'd still prefer subs because I just prefer their original voice actors. I think they bring out the characters attitude a little better.

<3 subs :]

A> What do you like more subbed or dubbed?
Me> What anime?

A> Hellsing.
Me> dubbed with no doubt.
A> then what about FLCL?
Me> subbed of course!

A> huh?!

and as simple as that!

For me it really depends on the anime. Most of the time I watch the dubbed, but there are still a lot of times I prefer subbed. And there are a lot of animes out there you can only view subbed.

For me i like it when it is subbed (by a good subgroup)

But the only show where i like the dubbed voices better then the "original" voices is in Gundam WING. I know its weird (but thats the only show).

But thats me xD

subbed subbed subbed subbed >:/ i cant have it any other way. I agree with those that say that the dubbing most of the time is just friggin terrible...

I guess that I may be unusall I will watch a show dubbed the first time through. Then I will watch it subbed the second time to see how much difference there is. The olny exception to this is if there is no dubbed or if the voices in the dubbed are so bad it hurts.
