Hi everyone.
Many people on the internet argue that subs are better than dubs or dubs are better than subs.

In my opinon,I prefer subs and a little of dubs. In subs I like the voice actor/actress of the characters than dubs. I just think the voices suits the character.
And I like the voice acting in subs. idk in dubs they sound cheesy or just stupid.
But the only worth watching animes in dubs (in my opinion~) are Future Diary,Hetalia,and Death Note.

Which one do you prefer? Sub or dub? Or both? And why?

For my anime "Fairy Tail" I prefer dubs.It's just that I do not read fast and I don't want to pause the video.Anyway, yeah I prefer dub.

FAIRYT AIL! :D I prefer dubs anytime and anywhere Idk why but for me it's annoying to hear Japanese people OVER AND OVER. And I enjoy reading but I like anime dubs more people I like hearing the voices that I'm used to hearing instead of getting used to new Japanese voices.

I prefer subtitles, but if I do not have my glasses on and it is at a far distance, I prefer dubs.

I honestly prefer subs because when dubs are made, they lose emotion that only the original voice actors were able to pull off. Some animes won't even create dubs for that reason. There are exceptions, though, I guess.

I'm quite fine with both, but it really depends on what you're watching. For me, one piece is completely UNWATCHABLE in subbed. I hate luffy's voice actor. However, in dubbed, all the voices are well done and I feel much more comfortable watching the whole thing dubbed. Personal preference, really.

It's hard to read subs in action anime though, because you have to constantly rewind to see what the characters said during a fight scene or whatever.

Dub in my opinion is superior, as long as the voice actors aren't complete sh!t.

I like subs because in the Japanese version of stuff, the voice actresses are more interested and give that sort of emotional impact.
Dubs are okay, but sometimes they put me off.

I watch dub most of the time when I watch Fairy Tail its funny when they rage but if it was in sub I wouldn't get the rage or the jokes or the fights they do in Fairy Tail :3
