Subbed or Dubbed Anime?

[Paige]

Well?  Do you watch your anime subbed or dubbed?

I would like dubbed more, but overall dubbed voice acting is generally just not as good and I end up on subbed all the time.

Dubbing is getting better!!!  But I would agree that subbed is a higher quality.

I picked Both lol because it just depends on the show. Some the English translation is horrible so I go with being dubbed. But then that can be a pain too when I hear the English words but the subtitles are off. I prefer reading my TV shows as I find I have missed so much trying to listen. I just do better with seeing the words.

I usually watch subbed, unless I've heard in advance that the dub is particularly good.

It is actually funny on how much you pick up by actually reading what they are saying.

I agree with this, although it is pretty rare that a good dubbed anime drops.  Hopefully this will be changing with Netflix and such getting involved, but you never know.
