Subs or Dubs

Subs are better since the japanese take it more seriously and actually cast for the parts. Anime is a just much bigger deal over there. In America the dubbing industry is basically just who you are friends with and mostly comprised of part time workers or actors who couldnt make it in film industry. that said there are some really good dubs and unless the dub is completely horrid i will watch them over subs if/when available. Nothing can beat watching something in your native language, and beats having to read the eps all the time.

More times than not I like the subs better than the dubs. There are select series though like Hellsing or Baccano where I perfer the English dubbed voices.

You get the proper translation in subs, swearing and all lol but dubs you dont have to read (which is just laziness on my part lol) - i kinda dont mind - if it is subbed then ill watch subbed but if the same series has been dubbed i will chose that :) Pretty_ Yuuki :)

Well I know a lot of people will disagree with me but my home language is English so I prefer DUB!

To me it depends on the anime. Like Lucky Star and School Rumble i prefer Dubs ^^ But I mostly watch Subs cuz Subs r super awesome and tasti X3

I will be on the fence on this one since it really depends on the show. Some of the writing in dubs just make the show that much better like Shin-chan, Cromartie Highschool, and Desert Punk. I also can't imagine myself watching Cowboy Bebop in subs since I'm so used to the dub.

i only tend to watch dubbed animes unless i'm really eager to watch an anime series and it's not dubbed ill attempt to watch it subbed but i have trouble with that because of how fast the words go and i like to take my time and it's also hard paying attention to the words and actions on screen at the same time for me.
