Subs or Dubs

This has been a small conflict with Otakus everywhere. (If one at all). Do you like japanese language with subtitles? Or do you prefer your first language (most of us would be english) dubbing the anime?

I'll post my opinion if this thread is at all popular.

Sub is by far the best. You are able to hear the emotions a lot better than when it is dubbed and the voices are not really gay sounding.

Although some anime does have good dubb (I speack English) for example the Cowboy Beepop dubb is pretty good in my opinion.

But usually dubb is horrible like in the case of Naruto >_<

It really depends, some anime have really nice DUBS while others have crappy ones. For example, i really like the FMA Dubbing but the Naruto one is a bit weird. I really like Naruto but i prefer it in Eng Sub rather than Dub. Naruto sounds a bit queer in the English version. Come to think of it, all the characters in Naruto eng dub sound queer

Sub... especially since after hearing the same word endlessly in Japanese (Or which ever language the shows in) you begin to pick up the language. (This is why, when learning Welsh, I had to watch endless episodes of Pam Fi Dew)

i like the subtitles best. i mean, after u hear the english version, the japenese version sounds weird at 1st, but then once u get used 2 it it sounds a lot better. plus usually on the japenese version their r more swears/blood. also it kind of gives u a perspective on how another language goes (even though it is the only language i speak, english sounds pretty crappy now that ive heard japenese).

subtitles are better. Sometimes dubbing isn't accurate. And it really is anoyying when a guy has a girls voice or something.

It depends on the movie. If it's something like Crouching Tiger or House of Flying Daggers, I prefer subtitles. However, a movie like Volcano High, a comedy, really needs to be dubbed, imo.
