i prefer the dubs in a few animes, especially Haruhi Suzumiya...particulary because Kyon talks a lot; he has a much better voice in the dubs imo.

If the dubs are done well like in Samurai Champloo, FLCL and the ones mentioned before, I wouldn't mind dubs. As for subs I prefer them because there are somethings left out when dubbed... FLCL as an example. When Haruko was giving a preview for a next episode(in subs) she mentions something along the lines of "men thinking with their *forgot* and women thinking with their uterus" which wasn't in the english dub(I had the DVD).

I prefer subs, but I'll take dubs if they're good enough (e.g. Cowboy Bebop).

Well I really will watch either because I think that if I like the anime I should be able to like it either way...but thats probably because I read it first.

Me I like them either way but it depends on the Anime in question

“Yu Yu hakusho” I like in Dub
“Midori days” Subs
“Death Note” still undecided but currency dub
“Inuyasha” Both
“Ranma½” both
“Love hina” both.
"Excal Saga" Dub Why because Excal talks way to fast and my eyes cant read that many lines that fast.
“Naruto” Both
“Full Metal Panic" dub haven’t sent it in subs yet (because my friend is the one that own it)
“Slayers” I’ve only seen 3 episodes on Sub and 2 in dub so that’s still undecided
“TriGun” Dub I really like the Voice of Vash plus TriGun was my very first Anime I bought. There’s more but I really need to time to think this thou

What the hell is the point of watching subtitled entertainment when it exists dubbed? It's not enjoyable to sit there staring at text on the screen the whole time. I think it's just a pride issue, where the fat virgins feel like their ego is bruised if they don't watch all anime in its original language.

That was possibly the most mindless and poorly-typed post I've ever read.

Like Prinny said and you didn't seem to get (it wasn't that hard to read), dubbed animes often mess around with the plot and cut out bits (for example, I've never watched it, but I know One Piece is a major victim of this). Also, have you heard the dubs for some shows? The dub for Elfen Lied, for example, was atrocious- the voice actors sound like they couldn't give a crap, and they can't even pronounce the names right!

Dubbing Anime = Taking turds and putting them in front of mics. Any dub voice actor shall be skinned alive while being pissed on by dogs if I become president.

Besides, I hate cable, understand some Japanese and the subs are free.

It depends.

Some are really crapply dubbed, but some are dubbed really well. For example, I only watch Azumanga dubbed, but Wolf's Rain in Sub.
