Subs all the way! The only one time I'm willing to watch an anime dubbed is watching Cowboy Bebop...

Subs are great, but its incredibly annoying when you have to piece together an entire series through 6 different fan-sub groups.

...Like with One Piece? :P

I usually okay with good dubs until I see a subbed version. Then I can't go back.

Subs for Death note, but I actually like Kensin's english voice actor in Rurouni Kenshin. And Trigun is kickass both ways.

Subs are my default, but when I watch anime with my family (not a common occurance), they say they miss the action with the subtitles. Pfff, learn to multitask.

Dubbing is stupid, in all occasions. Subbing is the way to go. How can you possibly watch Alain Delon or Toshiro Mifune without hearing their voice? The very notion is absurd!

I would say dubbing can be superior to subbing in some instances, but very rarely. Final Fantasy XII would be the perfect example for that. It all depends on how the localisation is handled.

My biggest problem with dubbing is that voice is one half of the actor's performance. Watching a movie dubbed is like watching it with every other shot taken out.

Regulus Tera · 04-13-2008, 10:54 PM

Well, that's true of live action, but dubbing animation doesn't have trouble with that other half of the actor's performance.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it depends on the case. I would say localisation can be better than translation when dealing with dubs, but only in very rare circumstances.

I like subs for a very specific reason.

One of my favorite anime, the Digimon series, probably recieved the worst localization ever. but then again it's Saban. (the same people who brought us Power Rangers and the terrible US version of Kamen/Masked rider.) Digimon, nowadays is so poorly looked down upon as a simple Pokemon rip-off, because the localization made it friggin come off that way. the original version of Digimon is one of my favorite things to watch subbed, because the original music is great, the dialogue and characters and story are also awesome, given it's genre.(Digimon actually more closely follows Super Robot anime than Pokemon. Tamers was wrote by the "Big O/Lain guy" after all.) Digimon was my gateway into Mecha, I started jumping from Digimon, to Robotech/Macross, then to UC Gundam, and also from Big O, to all kinds of Super Robot anime from there as well, from Mazinkaizer, to Shin Getter, to GaoGaiGar, to GEAR Fighter Dendoh.
