Dub vs. Sub

[Βyakuya]

I watched this Anime, Bleach, they never continue on the dub eps. The sub eps are way past for over 100 episodes. Besides, the English voice actors don't really sound like the same thing sometimes. I bet htis may be the problem with other anime. So which is better? And please don't talk about other anime getting in depth of it.

I've only watched like one legit anime, and for some reason, I'm fond of the dubs, though I'm sure most people like the subs.

[Survivor]

I like Dubs...then again, this is with Pokemon and Yugioh from when I was 8. I don't care if the subs are better. The only thing that makes them better is that the Japanese people are more "revealing" when it comes to their women.

[Alexis Rhodes]

I only watch YGO but on 5d's they missed out a big part in an episode because someone died or something and also the dubbed versions are about 50 eps behind so i prefer subbed

[DARKPLANT RISING]

Die!!

Characters, die!!

Don't fall into purple mist!!

Die!!!

 

By this logic, 4kids suck and subs pwn.

Also,

*checks Google JP for subbed Aki*

owait...

I watched this Anime' date=' Bleach, they never continue on the dub eps.

 

[b']The dub was going at a pace of releasing two new episodes a week. And they made it to the Ichigo vs. Grimmjow fight and finished that part. Now they're taking a break and showing re-runs, something that if Japan did they would never need filler. Anyway, you can imagine the dub doesn't want to catch up to the anime in Japan so of course they're always going to be behind it. It's the nature of watching an anime in a language other than the one it originated in.[/b]

 

The sub eps are way past for over 100 episodes.

 

Same thing I said before.

 

Besides, the English voice actors don't really sound like the same thing sometimes. I bet htis may be the problem with other anime.

 

So the fact that an American person and a Japanese person don't have identical voices is a problem for you? Of course the english voices are going to sound different. They aren't the japanese cast speaking english you know.

 

So which is better? And please don't talk about other anime getting in depth of it.

 

And this last part gets into a whole big argument between people that like not having to read subtitles and people that believe every japanese voice is god and all english voices are fail. Anyway, I've seen dubs and subs of quite a few animes and I must say that they do different things better than each other. While to me Japanese voices seem a bit less awkward doing all the yelling and emotional scenes, the dub usually presents an accurate but more entertaining script. So I doubt I'd ever decide between either.

I'm saying that the English voices can a little bit give me no feeling of the real character, only a few voices.

[Night]

I hate reading through sub titles, dub is better.

[DARKPLANT RISING]

*abbriviated*

 

Quoting starts a flame war.

[Shradow]

As long as its not 4kids, I like dubs.

 

FUNimation does the best dubs.

[Ghoulish]

i reckon it depends on 1) what you watched first, when you hear an english voice you get accustomed tot hat voice and assme that voice will be heard when the character talks, and 2) it generally comes down to which voice sounds better EG: Naruto, the english voice for naruto in the first series was perfect (so i'd choose dub) however for the second series, they kept the same voice for when he was older, which sounded horrible and the japanese voice suited it much better (so i'd vote subbed).

 

Another key thing however is sometimes if you can't make out wat a character says, but then again if you can't read that well then thats a problem to. I can't vote yet, i'll think about it more but if i was to give an opinion at this point i'd choose dub.

[Death Metal]

Subs. They are almost always father along in the storyline then Dubs are.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I prefer subbing because they're usually up to date with the storyline.

Dubs are okay provided 4Kids isn't doing them

[Wardek]

Dub!? No. Sub is better. I have watched almost all Yugioh dubbed episodes and watched about 70-200 episodes of subbed yugioh, and i have found that the dubbed change almost everything.

 

Edit: Also the dub cuts 40% of yugioh scenes.

[Βyakuya]

It depends on the anime you're watching. If you're talking about yugioh, best to be subs

[六兆年と一夜物語]

I like subs + Original Anime because there's no censoring for younger kids.

[Great Unclean One: VK]

Dubs: Only if it fits.

 

Subs: If the dubs sucks.

[Saturn of Elemia]

I prefer the subs, myself. They usually aren't censored and you'll get more out of it IMO.

[Cin]

Sub anyday. Far better and how the writer's really want it.

[The Amazing Avian]

I don't really care.

[Dr. Cakey]

And this last part gets into a whole big argument between people that like not having to read subtitles and people that believe every japanese voice is god and all english voices are fail.

 

Romi Park is God, though...

 

Oh yes, sub.

 

I tried an experiment to see if it depends on which voice you here first, by starting to watch D-Grayman, but I only watched like three episodes and never actually got to watching the sub, so the experiment was inconclusive.

[Phantom M.C.]

sub for me, the english dub just sounds weird.

[Lover Bat]

subs....revealing is why....lol

[Yasu]

Subs all the way.

[Sammidysam]

Subs are usually better to me just because I tend to watch the sub before the dub so then the dub sounds really stupid.
