Subbed or Dubbed?

[impr.omptu]

Really, your'e asking this in a forum full of Japanese Weaaboos. Of course the majority will like subs. I like dubs when it's available, and subs when there isn't one. It's more comfy when I can understand what they are saying without following a bunch of text on the screen.

I disagree. I'm not a weaaboo, and really, that's a stupid word. Dubs are most of the times horrible, and not as much precise as subtitles. Although it also depends of the translation group.

Amusingly (or not), the dubs for the Original DVD box set of Evalngelion are better than the official subs :3

FOR anime,it's usually sub for me...whichever voice that comes first usually stick so yeah.

However,I don't usually download anime,and just watch it on Animax or something...where dubs usually fail.Occasionally there are some nice dubs that work,so I stick with that

Was I at all referring to you? Sure you aren't, but what about the majority of people in this forum. I was talking about those that rave about Japan and how Japan is so awesome and all video games, manga, music, and anime that come from Japan are amazing. Also, there are some dubs that are decent, and yet people use the subs for them.

if it's for Anime then i'll vote for dubbed coz i don't like reading while watching... xD
but if it's for Hentai then i'll vote for subbed coz japanese voices are cute and makes me horny when they moan... :3

EDIT: i voted subbed coz i more often watch hentai movies than anime.. :3

Dubs for the win! I find that for the series I like the dubs are pretty good and some of the main main character's voices are outstanding. If it's a live action show or film I'll watch subs.

Prefer good dubs > good subs
Prefer good subs > bad subs

I do not really think I seen any bad subs...

Sent there is only two options, I chose dub in the poll at first,but want to change it to sub.

If you think it needs more choices, say what they should be.

I find subs mean that I don't pay attention to the anime itself, 'cause I'm too busy reading them. Apart from that though, I don't really care which.

 

[TheLostSabre]

It depends but mostly subs these days.

My reason is that dubs often lose the emotion (monotonous/reading straight off a script lol) that is suppose to be delivered in the situation where the line is spoken.

Of course, if the dubbers did well then I will listen and watch the dub. It doesn't matter which sounds better; as long as they did their job properly, which is to voice their character and voice them well.

I guess all in all, if the show has good, even great dubs, I will watch it first to subs. When a show has bad dubs, I will watch the subs over bad dubs.

Dubs in general have less emotion and 'connection', so it's an obvious choice for me. +1 for subs.

 

[Splych]

i never liked the dubbed voices ... except for Shaman King .

when i first watched it , i watched it dubbed but when i tried watching it subbed, it just didn't work xD .

'S got to be sub'd. I keep trying dubbed because I'm lazy sometimes, but every time I do either 1)I cant hear it because the dub seems like it is at over 20,000Hz. 2)The accent annoys me 3)They sound like gimps.

 

[DarkShinigami]

i prefer dubs only because im too lazy to read however i prefer subs when i am feeling ambitious or when there are no dubs ill watch subs

 

[Omninox]

i mostly prefer sub, but for some animes (mostly old ones) i rather watch it dub.

uh... "I do not prefer one over the other" or "It depends" How bout that?

 

[GreatCrippler]

Much prefer dubbed. I will tolerate subs if I am too impatient to wait for a US release on something.

 

[naruses]

SUBS!!! FTW!!

Why? Because I really learn Japanese when I'm seeing the translation.

 

[nasune]

Subs, mainly due to speed and bad hearing.
