Gaming_Bum UPSF Lieutenant Junior Grade Registered: 04/18/08 Posts: 26	I usually watch dub, but I don't mind sub either. But I seriously can't believe you just said Beck and terrible dub! You're the first person I ever heard say that. So far my friends and a bunch of people online I've talk to, they all liked it even though they're usually the sub only crowd. You know I'm gonna have to go ask my other otaku friends what they think. Edited by Gaming_Bum (04/24/08 11:40 PM)

At one point I was rather indifferent until I concluded that, among modern offerings at least, there was a relatively comparable chance of a bad or miscast voice actor in either language. The original tiebreaker was for frenetic shows like Excel Saga that are very fast-paced and would otherwise incur countless pause and rewind interruptions [to re-read the large blocks of text that flashed by in a /10th of a second]. These days that criteria also includes the visual preservation of the more beautifully rendered series. It pains me to see a show's lovingly crafted imagery marred by subtitle text (e.g. Mushi-Shi).

The Mahou UPSF Ensign Registered: 04/25/08 Posts: 7 Loc: Colorado	I used to be solely a japanese dub watcher, until I realized that watching anime in english can be fun, too. I just don't find it as fulfilling when I'm sticking to one language, even if I love the first set of voices I heard. A prime example is Ah! My Goddess: I used to think that no one could ever match Inoue Kikuko's Belldandy, until I heard Juliet Cesario in the OVAs and fell in love all over again. Now with every release of Ah! My Goddess (except for Mini Goddess, which I have yet to watch), I watch it in every way I can. Same goes for just about every anime series I pick up. _________________________ Current Avatar: Honami Takase Ambler - Rental Magica

Battra92 UPSF Lieutenant Junior Grade Registered: 04/19/08 Posts: 84 Loc: Mass	99% of the time I watch anime subbed. There are a few older dubs such as Tenchi Muyo that were around when I got into anime which I will watch but anything new doesn't even a listen. So I have no problem with the sub only option on Emma or GALS Season 2. If Rightstuf can continuously deliver great anime at great prices I can live without a dub. _________________________ My Blog \| My collection \| My Backlog

I haven't tried the dub for the second season where Juliet Cesario was cast as Peroth and Eileen Stevens as Belldandy.

EmperorBrandon UPSF Ensign Registered: 04/25/08 Posts: 2	I watch both and my preference varies depending on the series. Traditionally I watch dub first with titles and with DVD's at least watch dubs more often. I like watching anime in Japanese too, though. This is why I prefer DVD's to be bilingual. I only buy sub-only DVD's if it is something I really want.

Drgnfuel UPSF Ensign Registered: 04/18/08 Posts: 17	If the dub is good I prefer the dub 100%. Certain shows lose a lot without listening to the original voice cast. And Beck had one of the best dubs last year. Fact. Not opinion. _________________________

Certain shows lose a lot without listening to the original voice cast. And Beck had one of the best dubs last year. Fact. Not opinion. Sry, i'm gonna disagree with that. I liked the sub 10 times better. You catch subtle nuances in the subs in BECK that is lost in the dub. Originally Posted By: something I guess no forum is spared this age old question...
