Dub versus Sub

Ok I gotta say that the whole "things are lost in translation" makes no sense. The dub is reading the same **** translated as what is shown in subtitle. Unless you honestly believe the voice actors are ab libbing, which in most cases does not make sense unless they are playing to a particular culture. I watch either way sub or dub, just getting tired of the whole "I hate Dub" crap. Luci Christian, Monica Rial, Colleen Clickenbeard, Brandon Potter... I like their voices ffs. Show me an example where "Apple" turns to "Pear" in Sub-Dub translation then I might listen.

pssssh I'm trying to learn Spanish atm. I lived in Japan for 1 1/2 years and they played to my needs. Here in the states we are starting to cater to Spanish. Go to Miami, San Dawg, or Houston. The big $$$ is in being bilingual.

I alternate between the two depending on what and when I'm watching. I like to watch anime about an hour~two hours before I go to bed (nightmare fuel helps me sleep). Since I wear glasses, I wouldn't be able to read subtitles if I watched in Japanese. So I watch them dubbed. Most other times though, I'll watch it in Japanese unless I'm watching with someone who specifically requests English.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with Isaac. It depends on what I'm watching. If it's a particularly high-quality dub like Dragon Ball Z then I'd prefer that to the Japanese (due in no small part to the fact that the Japanese is terrible) but if it were something done better in Japanese (such as K) I would watch it with subs since I found the dub of that show to be awful.

I usually watch sub for the most part, do to the fact that most dubs aren't to my liking, but if I'm lazy that day it doesnt matter how it sounds, Im watching dub lol. I will say there are some dubs out there that I like more than the Japanese version, like the ones for Code Geass and Death NOte
