Dubbed vs Subbed

100% Subbed. Things just sound completely unnatural dubbed... terrible.

I watch both. Some dubs (CardCaptors, I am looking at you!) are not worth it but generally I watch dubbed, since most of what I am watching is direct at my children. I like listening to both, it is fun, but most of my stuff is subbed with no chance of being dubbed. I need to work on my understanding of the languages.

I watch anime, Asian tv shows/films (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai) so I have watched a lot of subbed/dubbed content. I prefer sub for most things as any dubs I have had the misfortune to endure were badly done. Concerning anime, I have found a lot of shows with good dubbing but I still tend to watch a lot of anime subbed because a large majority aren't dubbed.

Subbed! Even if the acting in a dubbed thing is good, it never quite matches up to how the original voice actors did the lines and I'd rather see the translation and hear the original tone/emphasis etc. than the dub actor's interpretation of the script.

Subbed

If a film is not in it's original language and not in it's proper aspect ratio I cannot watch it.

Love it!! I always sing anime theme songs haha. Haven't bought any albums recently but still have all my cd's from the 90's and early 2000's. I noticed recently one of my 5-cd dbz albums was going for over $300 on ebay! Whaaaat! So glad i got it decades ago for $20 LOL.

I hate dubbed films of any sort. Subs all the way.

I have to watch regular tv with subs too though. Not because my hearing is bad but because my audio comprehension is a little slow, I guess. *shrug*

I've seen both dubbed and subbed. It depends on the series some series/movie are phenomenal dubbed while some is better to be seen subbed. And there are some that are great to watch both subbed and dubbed (ie Soul Eater).

I was on a date in Okinawa in 1975. Went to a double feature with an Okinawan girl I had met. One movie was Italian; one was French. They were both subtitled in Japanese.

What a fun date that was.
