I don’t mind dubs (Especially good ones like Bleach, Lucky Star and Code Geass) but I prefer subs, mainly because I’m paranoid about mouth flaps. It also depends on whether I’ve watched the subs before. I watched the dubs for all 3 of the above before starting the series seriously. The dubs are still great, but I’m more likely to watch the subs from now on. (For anime Iwatched fully in subs, I’m not likely to watch the dubs)
Anyways, I don’t know why people continue ragging on dubs. They aren’t bad :/

I can’t watch anime on tv sence they got rid of the Funimation channel so i can only watch anime online but i cant watch it tell 2 am. I got Hughes(They say that you can download a music album just like that, so not true. You have to wait tell 2 am.) But don’t have much of a chose(Live in the middel of the woods T.T)

i’ve watched bleach well into the 200 episode mark *i don’t remember when i gave up on it..* and it’s an amazing anime in jap or eng. some of the voices like kon are annoying either way but i like the eng voice of orihime**sorry if i spell that wrong** better it’s not as.. winey.. then again a lot of the jap female characters have that signature *wine* it’s just the trait of the Japanese female voice. and the only thing i found horrible about the naruto dub was the naruto voice.. no offense to the eng VA’s voice but holy hannah!! it’s such a grating voice. but that’s just me.

but as for bleach i’ve seen the ones aired on ytv *i’m canaidan so i don’t get adult swim unless i pay an absurd price for special ordered channels* and they’re extremely well done.. although the pronunciation of some words could have been better. i know it’s an accent thing but wow.. some of the names are hurtin. ah well such is the chance you take when you dub an anime.. overall 3.5 out of 5 stars… the anime series like naruto and inuyahsa is WAY too long and has way too many filler arc’s.. like 80 episode filler arc of naruto.. c’mon.. a bit extreme. ah well ^-^ the things we do for anime we love.

Completely agree. People who say “Dubs suck! Subs forever !111!!!!1″ have no variety. and Everyone needs variety. I watch both. There’s a HUGE difference in Hanatarou’s voice. I prefer his english voice. His Japanese VA seems like…they’re sick or something.
I love Ichigo’s/Hichigo Voice xD

Im in the Uk, and started watching Bleach when they had subbed up to 53, so i began with the subs. After that ive gone to 164 and waiting for 165 in subs, but to be perfectly honest i dont see any difference – at all in the dub or sub, it makes very little difference for me, but the one thing i cant stand is the subs that dont make sense. Rather have a “rubbish” dub than a mistranslated sub.

In my opinion if it isnt in english in a country that it should be in english it has no reason to be there. I myself do not and will not watch anything subbed. I dont know about the rest or care. However I feel that it should be easier to find dubbed anime than it is.

Hiya Alia!

Well and truly spoken—it really pisses me off to hear “fans” do nothing but complain about the dubs. Nobody seems to want to give credit to dubs for GROWING anime into something mainstream; you wouldn’t have it on TV or on shelf after shelf at the video store if everybody in America (and elsewhere in the anglophone world) had to watch subs-only. Since I’ve been studying Japanese with you for the last several years, I too watch and enjoy subs but have to admit to preferring dubs. Why? Well, I’m a native English speaker. I just enjoy it more that way. In fact, if I watch a given anime in Dubs, Japanese + subs or Japanese only, I get a different “feel” for each experience and enjoy each in a different way. It’s like I’m using different parts of my brain and psyche for each. Sometimes I think that the subs-only complainers are like those people who see foreign-language films because they think it makes them cool and they like to act superior. Baka da. ne? I myself do voice work and am hoping *someday* to get into anime dubbing. Complaining does the VAs a disservice, and a lot of them are really talented. You wanna see amazing voice acting? Watch Kodocha and listen to Laura Bailey as Sana—she’s a goddess (and a lot different in this role than as Tohru Honda in FruBa or Keiko in Yu Yu Hakusho). Oh and FYI—fansub junkies seem to be the worst types for complaining, as if they’re HELPING the growth of anime/manga by watching for free. Tchah…

I feel the exact same way, bleach is my faverite tv show and i watched up to about eps.125 (subbed ) and then i saw the dubbed version it wasn’t that bad although i still prefer the subbed version.
