English or subtitles

me personally hate subtitles because they can move too fast!! what do you guys think??

English cause it is as easy as can be

That's true althought hearin there voices are really a guess adicting to me so I'm going to have to go with subs LOL

I also vote for original anime with subtitles. Sometimes the english dubs are just not well done and it really bothers me. Also japanese voice actors are the most experienced, I would say.
But I don't mind english at all, if the dubbing is well done I gladly watch it.

Definetly subs. I actually can not watch a dubbed anime. It feels weird. I said this in some other post, but i'll say it again. I've been trying to see Yu Yu Hakusho for quite a while now, but i can only find the dubbed version so... i didn't watch it. That's just an example.

wow i cant believe that tho see i need dubs but if i cant get it in dubs ill watch it in subs reason - im to lazy to read it , or to read the subs

He he! Fair enough. Good reason. I just can't do that. I can't watch a dubbed anime. It's just another of my "things" i have about animes.

I don't mind watching either, but if I have the option I will go with English dubbed. I don't think anyone should only watch just English dubbed anime though because that seriously limits the amount of anime they can enjoy.

English voice actors can have just as much experience as Japanese voice actors, what you said completely depends on the actor themselves. Also unless you speak Japanese you can't completely judge how well a Japanese voice actor is acting.

Yes, it's true, but Japanese are more propensed, anime is made in there, but ofc that doesn't mean there aren't excellent dubbers.
Exactly, and unfortunately, that works as an advantage.

Not only the limiting, but also one should be open and experience the original after all.

P.S: Check the other thread about it (wink)

I am definitely a fan for the subs. I don't know. Although watching the dubbed versions are easier to understand, something about them to me just seems... off. To me, it feels a little less like it was suppose to be, plus translation between spoken word and actual words can be quite different. But don't get me wrong, I'll totally watch dubbed if I have to!

*sigh* I guess i'm the only stubborn idiot who's willing to give up watching an anime if it's not subbed. Good thing i was able to find 99% of them in the subbed version.

I get lazy reading the subs tho

Well i got my 3 days of vacation. I'm only left with the weekend now, but i did catch up with my sleep as much as i could. The heat didn't let me sleep tho... Wish i was in Australia right now. It's winter there now ...

I did a blog about this a little while back...

The Dub Question

Studio Ghibli dubs are far and away the best I think. I tend to watch those dubbed rather than subbed, because Pixar do the dubbing, so I know the VAs are high quality.
