With the exception of FMA, if anybody claims that the sub for the other shows is better than the dub, then they're just weeb trash with opinions you should automatically disregard.

Plenty actually. It comes down to subjectivity.

If your are the type that snubs your nose to anything or most things not subbed then just go watch subbed.

I watch dubs if possible but Funimation dubs nowadays are awful. Some are passable and they even made some good ones in the past like Yu Yu Hakusho. But the talent pool they have compared to other studios like Aniplex or Viz is just so much worse.

For instance their "best" female voice actor who they shoehorn into every show is Monica Rial, and I can't stand her voice. If she tried to make it in LA I don't think she would get any work, she's that bad.

Their "best" male voice actor is Chris Sabat who had some good range back in the day, but now every single voice he does is just a slightly different shade of Vegeta.

It just hit me there's a version of Cowboy Bebop which doesn't have Steve Blum's voice. That makes me sad. He should be made to reprise his role in all languages so he can be the one true Spike the world over.

Haruhi was dubbed by a different company, not Sentai Filmworks, and it's really good

Iol I agree with this. I thought her voice was fine at first until she used it in every single dub under the sun. Nowadays if she's in a show and she's using the same voice (which is the case 90% of the time) I just go for the sub. The last exception I made for this was for Tanya the Evil just because I really like that anime. And I'm kinda of a Jeannie Tirado fanboy right now

It was so good I never bothered even listening to the sub. Granted, I bought it on DVD when and viewed it on that my first time.

Baccano!

It takes place in Prohibition America, watching it with Japanese voices is objectively the wrong way to watch it.

I enjoyed the dubbed here but I really wished they finished everything in dub since yugioh sub tend to have a slightly altered perspective on everything.

I also wish it got finished, but seasons 1 and 2 were some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. They completely rewrote a character to only talk about grilled cheese sandwiches. Funniest shit I ever seen in my life

the whole 'listening to a show is more enjoyable' thing doesn't make sense to me. of course I'd rather not have to read every line. that can be annoying. the issue for me is dubs overwhelmingly are poor quality and sound completely out of place for the characters and settings they represent

in japanese, the VAs sound like actors to me. in english, the VAs sound like hammy high school drama kids or something. even faker than normal

They sound exactly as hammy and fake in Japanese to fluent Japanese speakers.

Quick reading or not, pretty sure that wasn't his or her point.

Any time at all spent taking your eyes away from the show to read speech is less enjoyable.

Yeah, this is why so many anime fans prefer subs, because they don't understand Japanese so for all they whine about "bad dubs", they are incapable of hearing just how good or bad a job the Japanese cast is doing.
