for me…hhmmmmm…..HOW IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER! subs are as much a translation of the orignal content as a dub is, therefore making it just as suspect to fucking the whole thing up and the whole thing about English VA’s not caring? Many watch series and study the original before the record their lines. Several great actors are Caitlin Glass, Vic Mignogna Steve Blum, Wendee Lee.
Now I do watch subs and I can tell you there are some terrible japanese dubs, in which the English is actually better prime example is Martian Successor Nadesico, the orignal japanese dub is god awful, I don’t know japanese I could tell it was bad, I mean Atari 5200 bad(those of you who got that reference thank you) but the English version they got the cast of Evangelion which had just wrapped up. Another thing is people complaining about the story, Most modern series that is a not a moot point (the actual true meaning of moot is “important”) I’ve watched several series and there isn’t that much difference either way.

Now as for my opinion……Both, because each has it own merit and quality varies from series to series. but there is only one I watch that I won’t watch the dub of is Legend of the galactic heroes because that doesn’t exist…….so fuck you sub haters and fuck you dub haters, I like both varieties

i really prefer subs…

but here in the phil…

the emotion i get from watching dub anime’s and sub anime’s is actually the same…
in my opnion, filipino dubbers are actually good compared to english dubs.. (no offense guys)

well, i DO admit, we suck at some anime’s, especially BLEACH and RAGNAROK… damn they suck…

but to naruto, ghost fighter (yuyuhakusho), and the others that are filipno(tagalog) dubs… they are just great…

but i do prefer english dub in pokemon and DBZ…

i really hate most of the dubs,

but there are those which i consider okay…

but the heck with naruto

i really hate the english dub of naruto…

especially the accent… instead of just saying naruto, why do they pronounce it as naruto-w!!
i mean.. there’s no “w” in naruto.. right?

I completely forgot to use this in my argument as well. You’re leaving manga completely out of this. To “all-the-good-names-r -taken” think of how us manga lovers feel when an anime is made out of the manga we love so much. They don’t leave the certain dialog in there, hell they don’t even give the real ending. An example would be Gantz, Air Gear, or Hajime no Ippo all of which had the anime end before the manga. Therefore there was, in the case of Gantz, half-hearted attempts at an ending. While Hajime and Air Gear stopped without a fork in the storylines.

And to all you people say “Just read.” Go read the mangas because they have the full story the way the creator had in mind without any director changing the story, characters, plot, etc. (An example of changes like this would be the Ghost in the Shell animes which were only approved by Shirow Masamune and not made.) So there you have it if anything anime itself is ruining anime due most of them to it being loosely based off the mangas, or in some cases games, of the same name, but fail to completely replicate it. (Don’t get me wrong I like anime its just I just recently saw the animes I mentioned above again and I needed to vent. Sorry.)

Ok now I want all of you to stop for a second and think about what got you into anime. Now I’m sure for most of us it was watching DUBBED versions of the animes that we love now. Now for older people it might be Astro Boy, but for me I remember the first anime I ever watched was Gundam. (I can’t remember which one it is now, I believe the one with Amuro, or possibly Wing.) Had we saw these shows on the TV with subtitles at that age we’d say “WTF is this!?!?!?!” and go do something else, leaving us devoid of anime.

Now then I want you to get this through your head when you watch anime sure you worry about the small stuff like art, voice-overs, etc. But what do we really watch it for? The STORY. Now stop complaining about this dubbing because quite frankly the way we view dubs here is how view dubs of English shows there.

And also the start of anime was infact English cartoons. Manga originated from a man in Japan (Hey that rhymed.) sketching out Bambi a famous Disney cartoon. And as we all know anime originates from manga. So TA-DAH.

And there you have it, three reasons why you should STFU about dubs.

S.U.B.B.E.D.! how can people just step in and copy their voices and make it seem like it’s okay? it sound bad, it doesn’t ryme anymor, [songs], they change the words up! ppl stop being lazy and just READ! the only reason u should watch dubbed is if u keep missing alot of stuff in the anime cause ur reading, or cause u cant read! ONLY ECUSE!

aah
you homos has a point,
If you like japanese language so much why live in america?
But really anime did originate in japan, so why go though the trouble of changing the language completly?
Dubbed is better for ” you homos” relaxing reason to.
The last true thing “you homos” said is
SHAKUGAN NO SHANA 4EVER
