Subbed or Dubbed- What's your preference?

[SytheUser]

Hi Guys ! This is just a thread im starting to know all of you PG Anime Lovers preference. Do you prefer subbed versions or dubbed? I think i liked the Dubbed ones in comedy and action but in romance i will defo go for Subbed, It gives a much better aura and understanding to the anime (Much more intense) ! Winters are here and time to watch Anime x2 !!

I usually go for subbed just cause of the sheer number of anime that are subbed. Whereas only a fraction of them end up getting dubs. PS dubs sometimes mess up the translation.

Subbed ALL the way! Dubbed audio just doesn't have that special something.

what about comedy guys ? i mean at times its not hilarious when you are reading the subs isnt it ?

I go with subbed everytime!!

The problems with most dubs I find is that english voice actor/actress try to hard....

For comedy nothing beats japanese language XD, so again I prefer subs.
The japanese speak with so much expression and random sounds, even if you dont understand whats going on you'll have a laugh, cant say the same about English language

I always watch dubbed anime. Although in some anime dubbing is very not-out-sync, which makes me angry.

Dubbed anime is failure of epic proportions. Anime MUST be watched in Japanese audio, with Enlgish-subs. English dubbing just takes away all the fun and epicness.

Some shows like Mushishi have very good dubs.

SUBBED...but dubbed is also goo

I always prefer the dub. Even if the voice acting is mediocre, at least I understand what the characters are saying. While the Japanese voice acting is usually topnotch, there's really no point if you can't understand the language.
Not to mention the fact that some anime have old women acting out the role of men, lol.

Subs > Dubs

Dubs sometimes mess up the situation...While subs give pretty much accurate translation. Watching in Jap audio preserves that originality in emotions and expressions and that's what i like about it. That said there are some expressions you just can't translate completely into another language...Watching subs for a long time and now i can pretty much understand what they are saying in Japanese and can find out the errors in subs too.. SO ALWAYS WATCH SUBS
Although in some cases the dubs are way better than subs because i couldn't bear those funny jap voices... for e.g FMA has better dub than sub imo...

 

[Arkonov]

If a show has a dub, I'll watch the dub. If not, sub it is.

Actually there is point, you can read the subtitles, and feel the emotion.
Whats wrong with old women acting the role of men? They are talented, and deliver their job.
You're just a weeaboo, AG.

If I wanted to feel emotion via words, I'd read a book; not watch animated characters with voices, only to end up having to read with one eye and watch what's going on with the other.
If you enjoy an old women acting out the role of grown, masculine men, then so be it.
I'm surprised you used the term weeaboo and not something extremely immature and vulgar like, oh I don't know, always.

Subbed Only, why you will ask so here's the answer:

The emotions, life, intensity, expressions & style the Japanese Voice Actors put in the work can't be compared to Dubbed at all. The majority of Dubbed just feels lifeless & straight forward acting.

Subbed and Subbed Only

 

[Jester]

I personally find the over-exaggerated tones in subs godawfully annoying at times. There are much more subtle ways to show emotion and feeling rather shoving high pitched chirpy voices right in the viewver's face. The only time you can benefit from that is with something like, say, a comedy anime which already has over-the-top themes.


But then again, some dubs will miss the mark entirely so it ends up being the lesser of two evils.
