Sub Vs Dub which do you like
This is just cause i like to hear what people watch sub or dub and why they like it that way.I like dub because I don't like to read my anime and its hard to watch sometimes will you looking at the subtitles at the bottom.
So what do you like and why Edit: The opinions expressed in this thread are not necessarily the opinions of the company "91.8 The Fan" and its owners. Any discussion of dubbed anime is presumed to be legally viewed by means of either streaming through various streaming sites, such as Hulu, Joost, or YouTube. Any mention of anime watched via means of illegal activities is not condones, nor supported by 91.8 The Fan or its owners. -Kibs |
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
I know I am more of a sub person just because I dont like the restrictions of language and certain scenes when watching it on TV. You can usually get a uncut version when you buy the DVDs and that will make up for it but my over all thing for watching sub over dub is just because I like the japanese voice overs better then the English ones. The closer you can get to the original idea and direction, the better it is.

Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
There are a lot of good dubs and equally bad dubs, there are a few Japanese dubs that I didn't like and there were some that I did like. But if I had to choose, I would have to go with dubs because they work just as hard as the Japanese voice actors to make it work.

Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
Dubs. Like to watch not read. Though, I'll do subs if I HAVE to see it. Like Baccano! (Whose dub is pretty badass).
|
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
For me ..... hmmmm ....... If dub is good I can do with it but most of time subs ^_^
|
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
It depends, it usually depends on what I watch first. I enjoy subs a good deal of the time, but I love hearing my favorite voice actors in America. So it more or less is the mood I'm in.
|
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
I like both about the same, Sometimes i prefer the Japanese with Subs because i like the voices better than dub or it isn't available in Dub.
(Subs don't bother me, i can read fast and still take everything in so i have no big problem) Dubs are good too because you can sit back and relax a little bit more since you don't have too keep closing in to read subs and i like hearing my favorite Voice Actors! ^^ |
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
The Voice Actors have gotten far far better and many series are getting very good with the voice acting. Detective Conan's dub and Full Metal Alchemist are both. "Slam Dunks." when it comes to the cast.
I like subs, but if the dub is great, like those two mentioned above. I'll prefer the dub. |
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
Well I like both, but I prefer subs, not because they're better, but because it's the original.
|
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
Both, because I'm not a nitpicky son-of-a.
And no, I don't prefer either one over the other. I couldn't care less where the animation came from, I mean, I didn't watch Code Lyoko in French (yes, I watched that). |
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
wow I'm glad to see that everyone is nice about it I was worried that people might go over bored and be like "subs are the best dubs suck ROAR!!!" but its good to see that everyone is cool with both subs and dubs and not closed minded and think only the on is good and the other is crap.

But now the quality of dubbing is much higher, so it's manga > sub = dub. |

I too also like the Fullmetal Alchemist dub but my problem lies in how they didn't leave the openings alone on TV. I really like the first opening of FMA. I like them all and the second one is good too but I just wanted them to have all the openings like they were supposed to be shown. |

Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
Haha, I like a lot of older dubs actually because I think there's a lot of heart in them such as the 3X3 Eyes or Golden Boy ones. For both they just seemed to work, and felt naturally. Ah! My Goddess the OVA had a good classic dub I've always adored, specifically since the two main characters were actually married. That's chemistry you can't make up.

Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
It really depends on how the voices are for the dub and sub. I've mostly seen subs. Though, I've seen some wonderful dubs, like Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass, Fate/Stay Night, etc. Though, I've been pretty scared to see animes in their dubbed form. D.Gray-man is an example. That turned out horribly wrong. Stuff like Vampire Knight and Rosario+Vampire I'm currently scared off, as well.
In the end, I guess sub is leaning a little more towards what I would choose. Except for that, they're pretty much tied. |

Of course, I'm not even going to start on the likely quality of the translation of a fan. I just thought your post was a good building block of sorts, after all this is supposed to be a "debate". xD |
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
Oh, I know a fan's translation can be off... really off. Some are still close to the mark. It's funny. When I watch an anime with subtitles (English) for dubbed, it's always off. xD

Also back on topic I think it depends on the company makes the dub.I do watch some subs if there is no dub or the dub isnt very good |

I prefer subs. For me I prefer the sound of the Japanese voices and I don't like how American accents can stand out like a sore thumb in some animes, but that's just me personally. |

Also, from awhile back Oni, I didn't think it was because they couldn't get the rights of the song, I thought it was one of those "We are a bunch of old executive guys and we know what kids want, they want the more actiony songs" and that's why they didn't use the first or third openings. All this is coming from how 4Kids treated One Piece saying, "Oh yeah, the kids these days are into the hippity hoppity music so that's what we are going to give them." But the rap was sort of good in a way...just not opening material. |
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
Unless the dub is exceptional I normally stick with subs. I just like Japanese voice acting better.
It's funny, even when I watch dubs my eyes automatically gravitate to the bottom of the screen. |

That's funny, because a Japanese person would probably say the exact same thing about Japanese dubs. Quote:

Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
I like subs a lot better, one beatiful example of why is the ever famous DBZ. When i saw it as i little kid and was watchin the freeza saga i noticed that at some points the characters were supposed to be silent but instead they dubbed in iddle chatter 0.o also when frieza screamed on the dubbed version it was soft but on the original DAMN!!!!!! the guy who did frieza's voice had some talent!!! And this is why i only watch subs now

Im saying that I do a voice for that character saying what the subs say in a voice that I think would fit them. It's making sense in my head, I guess it's not out here :P |

Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
Many people call me a true Otaku. This is because I care not how I get my anime, as long as I get it, I`m happy. I read manga, I watch dubbed anime, I watch subbed anime, and lately, to get my rockman/megaman fix, I even watch raw anime. I find plot summaries from wiki and tv.com or something and read what each episode is about so I can understand it, and then I go somewhere to find said episode and just by watching the characters and listening to the tone of their voices, I can kinda get the giest of the story and enjoy the episode, even though I don`t understand a word of it. I also have mastered the art of watching and reading at the same time through watching much subbed anime. I have to say, I think I prefer dubbed the least only because the stupid FCC butchers the show and cuts episodes to the point of "why do I even bother watching this?" I mean, cursing and stuff is one thing, but really, just because someone says "I love you" that is grounds for cutting the episode? but I`m getting to a WHOLE other topic. So my answer, I`m ok with both, but I`ll watch a subbed episode before I watch a dubbing, quite literally.

Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
The Japanese are pretty strict when it comes to censorship themselves.
|
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
I remember it took me like 5 days to find a non-censored Kodomo no Jikan online
|
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
That was exactly the anime I was thinking about when I posted. xD
I don't think the FCC would censor half the screen due to bloomers. |
Re: Sub Vs Dub which do you like
True, they are, but only if the anime in question doesn`t have some kind of warning. For instance, I have yet too watch a subbed anime that did not have cursing, even from little kids, in it. Rockman, Naruto, Pokemon, they all have it, and they are all intended for kids much younger than legally adult me, but the thing that saves them from censorship is a pre-showing warning
