honestly the reason i watch it sub is because i have tried Dub and its less interesting the voices are always extremely bad and it never feels as dramatic as it should, it just feels emotionless and it just makes it boring, i prefer JP sub because i can feel the emotion in dub its just less attractive in general

Because 1) despite not being able to understand the words, the vocal performance just works better in the original language most of the time, and 2) some of us are capable of reading more than 1 word per minute.

because not all of us only speak one language and often the subs are a thousand times better than the dub?

I would prefer the original voices myself. I can speak some Japanese and the subtitles help fill in the gaps.

To me, For the quality of English Dubs in anime, It all depends on who is cast. I Personally enjoy English dubs of anime if certain voice actors are in it. Plus, I actually want to explore a career in voice acting.

[B r o c c]

It all depends on what people think qualifies as a bad english dub and how much people can tolerate it. Perfect example of this is Star Ocean The Last Hope. To be honest, The dub wasn't that bad however I personally agree with people say that some of the voices for the main cast just didn't work. Case in point, Lymle, she was the only character who bothered me.

But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If you watch anime or play games dubbed, that's fine, If you do subbed, that's fine as well. People shouldn't tell you to watch something subbed because they think it's good. (However, It's their choice) Also, just to tell you guss, I'm not spamming. It's just, I'd rather type paragraphs like these than an entire article.

Subs before dubs.

"Dub" is a misnomer. Both the Japanese and the English actors are, in fact, dubbed over the soundtrack. Just saying.

Also, while there are exceptions, "subs preference" is generally someone going for Weeabo street cred.

whats a weabo?

I wish that Japan had won ww2...

bandwagon or not, dubs lose a few things in translation compared to subs. Obviously the quality of voice actors in english dubs are of much lower quality than the original (One country has emphasis on voice acting, while the other just uses someone relatively known or from a limited pool... you figure out which is which).

As for the weaboo thing... really? Hearing "believe it" makes me want to slap the hell out of whoever decided to put that in, that is enough to avoid dubs.
