Subbed or Dubbed?

Agree 1000%!

The original dub voices were a better fit than what Funimation ended up going with. Hell, whenever you think of the “9,000” line, you think of the original dub voice of Vegeta saying it.

With that said, I’m also with the subtitles. And anyone who bashes Goku/Gohan/Goten because they sound female, clearly don’t realize that Krillin and Monkey D Luffy from One Piece ALSO has the same voice actress!!

Mainly has to do with lip sync. Since anime characters’ mouths, for the most part, move exactly the same no matter what they say, I can reasonably imagine that they’re actually speaking the dubbed words.

With live action, it’s clear that what the dubbed voice actor is saying is not what the actor on screen is saying, and it takes me out of the narrative. So, in that case, I’d rather just read subtitles.

subbed definitely.

Besides being purist, I’ve seen enough English dubbed shit where they screw up the intended meanings.

You do know that a lot of american anime VA’s are TDS ridden SJWs who hate Vic Mignona, right?

On that note, it kinda depends on how well the English actor fits to the character.  And whether or not the actor is overused or not.  What I mean there, is that there are some US actors that have just entirely too many parts.  I hear their voice, and I think of another character.  Or I hear their voice and I think of Several other characters.

Whereas, with Japanese… there is very little of it that I actually understand.  So I’m not paying as much attention to it and I don’t recognize the voices.

Tho yeah.  Not having to read it, I definitely pick up a lot more of what is going on with the show itself.

ok i got a few questions here for you, who the fuck is vic mignona? and what the fuck does TDS mean? i dont know what VA means either

I can’t listen to dubs in anime or video games. Most of the time the dub quality is subpar compared to native VAs. And the jarring lipsynchs piss my OCDs off the walls.
