Some people like the Japanese version of anime WAY better than the English dubbed, or vice-versa, or some people like them both/don't really care.
What about you?

I like it subbed. Dubbed doesn't give you much room to learn new words.

Unlike suune, i don't care about learning Japanese so I like dub version better.
p.s. don't we already have a thread like this?

Subbed, I prefer everything in it's original form, dubs 'destroy' authenticity.

I don't really care as long as the (English) dubbed is done right. But unfortunately, most are terrible. So Japanese with subtitles wins.

Subbed. mostly because the japanese voice actors are better than the english ones.

I agree with Unknown and Shi-chan. Unless the dubbing is really good or the only version I can get, I'll watch sub every time.

i'll have to go with japs because you understand the "inside jokes" or the cultural saying and stuff plus it brings out the ORIGINAL form of expressions

i Like subbed than engLish dubbed.. coz mostly the voice

tis definitely the subbed on... dubbing takes out the most important expressions conveyed in the voices most of the times..

I like it subbed way better than dubbed, because when they dub it, it kills the anime's intensity and some dubbed animes have characters who are voiced by people who sound like they have no emotion whatsoever.

Subbed!!! like many others have said, there are things that get 'lost in translation'. have you ever watched an episode dubbed with the subs on? MAJOR DIFFERENCE!! But there are some dubbed actors that really fit their characters, but not enough for me to watched the dubbed version. haha

I would have to say sub. The dubbed ones always miss out and don't follow the real story.

Subs are way better!!dubs are awful!they destroy the whole thing!some anime are meant to be in Japanese!English doesn't suit them!

JApaneses with subs is better for me, for you can learn japanese little by little, and the voices are a lot better in japanese compared to the cheap dubbing they do in the U.S.

i fuckin hate when the voices don't match the character it dosen't matter if its in english or japanese...like when u see some huge guy and he has a high voice the best voice acting ever was in death note.

I prefer subs no argument about it, I will only watch dubbed if I can't get my hands on the subbed version.

i'd have to agree with that, compared to the japanese subbed, the english dubbed really sucks

I believe that dubbing an anime to a language different from it's origin is stupid. I think subbing might already be to much, let alone DUBBING. I would take away dubs from this world if I could. They can't even get the voices right. All on subs. If you want english go stick with pokemon.
For example: Code Geass
I don't think C.C is suppose to be said as C.2., don't you?
Heck even Lelouch who already sounded a bit feminine as Lelouch(not as Zero) became hardcore gay.

I still like when they speak Japanese and there is subtitles at the bottom. I do also like it when the Japanese speak some English in the show. I geeks me out.

Actaully, in both the sub and the dub, C.C. is referred to as C2.

the only watch anime is JAPANESE with subtitles!!! well it seems that it's more intense and emotional when its japanese...in english there like no emotion!!!

I usually watch the sub version of the anime, the only one i listen to english is Disgaea because the dub sound like the one in the games and i like it.

it all depends on which sounds better, cause Kenshin (from Rurouni Kenshin) sounds hardcore gay in Japanese

I like both it doesn't matter to me but if i start a show in one language i like to finish it in that language so that's about the only time i mind the language.

I like Japanese audio for some reason since it's just great voice acting and seems much more natural than the English dubbed. However there are many good english dub actors for Japanese animes/mangas/video games. Metal Gear Solid is an example - although it is a bit off topic. Death Note's L was pretty good as well.
But yea I prefer Japanese audio.

I prefer subbed because not only does it widen my vocabulary but Japanese voice dubbing is better than American voice dubbing!

I prefer english Dubbed anime but the english subbed anime has all the foul language that makes it entertaining.

I prefer dubbed 90% of the time.
Anime is very visual, if you are stuck reading subtitles you can't truly appreciate the details... Plus you can't do anything but read while you watch, you can't even eat dinner in front of the tv because you have to look at your plate!

i usually like subbed better cuz some voices in english just dont sound right for the characters... although it is a pain to read. but you can learn some japanese at least. if i ever learn japanese then i could just watch the raw eps and not have to read subtitles...

Japanese is better because when you dub it some sentences lose their meaning and in most cases dub sucks...

I love both japanese and english because one day I plan on going to Tokyo and I wanna learn a little more about their lanuage and I like english because I can understand it

I prefer whatever language was the original. Which usually turns out to be Japanese.

I prefer subbed, cause Japanese is great language and when I watch anime with subtitles, I can enjoy both english and japanese...

i dont really care as long ass the voices sound right.... cause sometimes english voices just sound gay, so i guess subbed wins
