I prefer original audio although I watched Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Death Note English dub.

Watched Armour of God on Hulu. Wished they had the original audio instead of that MGM dub.

It really depends. More often than not sub > Dub, but that doesn't mean I'll default to subs. Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, FMA, Samurai Champloo, DBZ, Trigun all have better English VA overall imo

Depends on the anime. I hate Dragon Ball's original voices other than Piccolo and Vegeta. Tenchi Muyo dubs are pretty bad.

Quality of dubs in general has come a long way since then old days. I'll usually default to dubs unless they're horrible.

I can go either way with Dragon Ball. I was raised on on both. Watching on Toonami and Telemundo lol. Love the Japanese voice acting.

Dub. There is no question.

Though, I just noticed everyone here seems to be talking about anime, and I mostly watch Chinese king fu movies.

This. Compared to 20 years ago, the dubbing game has advanced really far. For example... *JoJo part 4 spoilers in the clip below*

There are still some shows that I would prefer subbed even if they did get a dub (mostly slice-of-life stuff like Lucky Star or music anime like Love Live) but in most cases, I would watch the dub if both are an option.

Generally I prefer the dub these days. I have no objections to watching a sub (unless it's just completely inferior in terms of translation, or like Death Note in terms of voice acting), dub's just make it easier for me to multi-task.

Of course I'll also just favor the sub if the dubbing sucks ass.

Huh, part 4 of JoJo has a dub now? Nice, I remember watching it (parts 1-4) a few years back but I think parts 3-4 were only subbed back then.

I should probably rewatch along the dub and then maybe dive into part 5.

Part 4's dub only just finished airing on Toonami last month. I fully expect part 5 to be dubbed and aired on Toonami at some point too.

The only thing I didn't like about the JoJo dub is I think they did Rohan dirty. Miscast him something fierce.

Movie dubs are for lazy people. Game dubs are okay since more of your attention is required elsewhere than the dialogue.

For anime always dub even if the weeaboos crow for days about how bad it is

For games usually English but sometimes go sub depending on the setting (the Metro games for example I played with Russian audio)

For live action films, always sub

i feel like they miscast practically everyone except maybe dio

tho i havent heard most of the english voices


For the most part, we got damn near perfect casting. Especially on Joseph, Dio, Jotaro, Josuke, and Kira. Rohan is the only character that I don't think they did well, which is sad because Rohan is my favorite.

There's some really out of touch people who think Japanese voice acting isn't as cringey and awful as it is.

So you watched 2 bad shows and now judge every vocal performance based on them

Part 1 and 2 at least has the goofy British accents that make the dub worth a watch. Theres also not as much copyright shenanigans.

3 and 4 are just an average dub with copyright-fearing name translations

why would you ever watch the dub for those

if part 5s future dub also has the over the top accent thing going on Ill lump it into 1 and 2 as worth a watch, but copyright is also going to shred that dub like 4

The Copyright Name changes suck and all, but it doesn't take away that the dub is still fantastic.

And you occasionally get a better name from the censors too. It's not common, but something like J. Geil into Centerfold. Centerfold was a better name.

Because I think they're good and fun. I don't mind the copyright-dodging stand names either. To me, all of them either sound just as cool as the originals, like Deadly Queen, or sound so stupid that they're in "so bad it's funny" territory, like Dan Of Steel.

Yeah it completely depends. JoJo has a fine dub but I think the Engrish adds too much to it ta take dub over sub. There's a buncha series that're pretty universally seen as superior dubbed like Bebop'n whatnot. I imagine if you like little anime girl shows then you prolly oughta go sub for those

Most'a the time I find that they're just about equal, but there's one or two characters that're either obviously inferior or superior in either version that tips it in that favor

I like dub, I mean if I wanted to read something I would pick up a book. And many of the higher pitched sub voice just bothers me. They seem to go higher on average then dub... and I just can't take high pitched sounds. And Goku voice... so horrible .

I have, but I havent had a chance to see it, yet. It seems like a lot of Jackie Chans older movies are often not translated (on Amazon or Tubi).
