I agree with the Dub-thing.

Subs are nice, but dubs are easier to watch.
But I hate live action movies that have been dubbed.

It depends on which I see first. I get attached to the character's voices and to hear another voice coming from a character really sucks for me..so I stick with whichever I see first. Most of the time it's japanese voices and engrish subs.

Dubs make me mad due to the way some are done.

Like Ouran High School Host Club leaves a lot of japanese language terms in it. Like "Kun" and "chan" which doesn't really translate well in English.

Shit, back in the day when dubbing wasn't as readily available, us anime nuts had to watch a lot of anime raw...no sub, no dub and we had to figure out the story on our own.

However, today...it depends on the mood I'm in. If I really want to sit down and watch, I'll prefer sub, but if I'm just surfing the net or something, dub is cool.

Still, I've seen some really crappy subs and some really crappy dubs in my day...I mean subs so bad it's practically FoB'y and dubs that were really bad overlays of the original Japanese.

Same here. I watched Beck, Mongolian Chop Squad subbed... and when they came out of the dubbed version... ... ... I refuse to watch the dubbed. They made everyone sound like Keanu Reeves/surfer boys from the 80's and they changed the music. The music is what made the anime! It's total crap in my opinion all cuz of the subs... but the dubbed is teh shit. ^_^

I prefer subs just because it has more emotion. This doesn't mean I despise dubs either, more like how I first watch the show and if I'm too lazy to read while watching the show....though you gain some kind of talent by being able to read the top (if any) and bottom subtitles at the same time when shown together for like 5 seconds lol.

Examples for me are DB/DBZ and Fullmetal Alchemist. I would never ever watch these subbed. I like the english voices better and the men to not sound so damn girly. And yes I know they voice them with women in Japanese, but that's besides the point here.

They did an excellent job with the FMA dub.

Niecy
05-25-2009, 03:57 AM
They really did. Now I'm deciding if I should wait for the FMA: Brotherhood series to be dubbed or just go ahead and watch it subbed.

I hate Ed's Japanese voice though...T_T

Oh, its really good, it looks amazing, but I'm like the only person that like the old tv series story more than the manga.

William Hildebrand

Guys help me out here, Gundam Wing or Full Metal Alchemist.

I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow and have a hard time choosing between these two.

No you're not. I like the old series better than the manga version by a long shot.
I happen to like the more serious and darker tone to it.

Full Metal Alchemist.
You will laugh and you will cry.
It's the only Anime I ever found myself emotionally attached to.

I love Gundam Wing but it's no FMA.

THANK YOU ^_^ I had a hard time all day figuring which to get.

Yes, get FMA. I didn't your post earlier.

Not a waste of money. :)

Dustin Triplett

Not to bash Gundam Wing or anything, but it's just giant robots and kids piloting them.
FMA is a deep mature heartwarming story of friendship, love, and betrayal.

When I first started watching anime I watched dubs more, but I slowly got more into subs. Really it just depends what anime it is. When I want some nostalgia I'd prefer watching DBZ or Digimon in english because that's the way it was like as a kid. But when I watch an anime a friend suggests to me it's usually a sub.

A real pro to dubs is that, if you've watched the episode before, you can just listen to it and still get what's happening. I usually do that and check forums.

Dillon
05-29-2009, 06:29 PM
I'm fine with dubbed anime, but If I watch live action it has to be subbed. The dub of CROWS ZERO was terrible and the dub of JCVD gave me a headache.
