Subbed or Dubbed: Which Do You Prefer? - Page 8

EggKnobble · Apr 29, 2008, 05:47 AM

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

Cheers,

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.

It all depends on the anime. If they dub it and it does not change the story line or culture, I am fine with it.

GRRR I hate that they did not stick with Shimigami in Bleach.

Personally, i prefer the dubbed versions because i get tired of reading the subtitles

This is another thing I have to agree is the annoying thing[THE ACT OF READING SUbTITLES]. All YOU HARDCORE SUBTITLE fans fail to realize(or don't admit), is that you cant read as fast as they blurb the text on the screen.You miss half of what anyone is talking about and then you will just assume you get it!Most will say the story is better, well Your so engrossed reading text flashing by that your not seeing and watching and enjoying the show! Or they might say its the original story aspect they want to keep intact. well, who is gonna keep rewinding to re-read the captions on the side when other conversation text was in the way...eh?

I'm sorry but most FANSUBBERS are winging it at best! whether its the translation in itself or even just having trouble just stating what was actually stated out of laziness or being in a hurry to finish!

Congratulation ,you just insulted 90% of non-japanese anime fans around the world ,not to mention you're wrong ,because of the subtitles i can speak the basics japanese now also the dubbers change a lot in the scenarios AND i now -thanks to the subtitles- most of the time don't even have to look at it since i can understand the conversation without doing so.
P.S : I'm not assuming anything

You said , pal! I miss half the action when reading the subs because I am a slow reader. But there are people that like anime with subs so they will have a different opinion on the subject. It's just a matter of preference

Then both of you need to do something...LEARN TO READ FASTER. I had the same problem as you two but thanks to rewind and puasing I was able to read faster after a few episodes.

HEY MAN, I'm not trying to insult anyone! I'm just trying to wake some people up from this overriding devotion in deliberately watching subtitled anime becuase they THINK its the best way( based on the picky Otoku'ish opinion)!

Honestly, not everyone is like you(and want/need)to devote so much of their time and resources learning another language for the activity of watching better cartoons. It's simply not neccesary, and most are beating the heads against the wall with frustration just to support a popular viewpoint.

overall, it is a preference, like previous posts have brought out. But I have friends, here in California that entertains this absoluteness about subbtitled versions. I can tell they are just following the crowds with that outlook..they often surrender a lot of good anime as being "ok" becuase they did'nt see it in English and experience the full tempo and flare than you will not Get if listening to Japaneses voice acting! It just does'nt trigger the brain..and ultimately they miss out!

I don't devote anything for learning japanese

,i just do learn it unintentionally ,and i know many many people like me plus someone who follows something because the crowd is saying so ain't even considered valuable as an opinion AND i completely enjoy the animes as double when subbed compared to dubbed because there are things that dubbers can never make right ,(i.e: -san ,-kun ,-chan) and many other things ,i know what i'm saying.
