Sub when I can pay attention to the screen - and dub when I am busy doing something else.

the two are nice but i think i prefer dub, it's a bit easier for me, and i really don't like to stress my eyes reading as I'm watching. but again I'm not particular on any, i watch both dub and sub

[Eris]

I watch either just depends on what I'm doing at the time. Most times just dub it's easier to watch and I'm not one of these people that thinks subs are the only way to watch anime, it's whatever. Sub if I want to watch it and it's not in dub tho.

I watched Sub all the time when i watch anime unless i am forced to watch dub like i had for a friend who hated reading on the tv.

siendo sincero yo prefiero con subtitulos el doblaje de muchos anime es deplorable, no es con todos los anime tomemos de ejemplo el de dragon ball que tiene muy buen doblaje, naruto tambien pero siendo sincero el doblaje de casi todos los animes al español o otro idioma es horrible por no decir menos aunque tampoco hay que desmeretizar a los dobladores de voz al español porque pueden que algunos si se tomen en serio su trabajo pero no sepan interpretar al personaje en cuestion.

I prefer subs too and thinking that too Japanese version is lot better.

I don't have English as my mother language; anime are never dubbed in my language, and I have watched anime with sub since forever. Anime in my mind are always in Japanese, English dubbed - or any language really - just aren't familiar or comfortable for me to watch.

a few years back, i would've said definitely dub, but i've been watching some more sub as well recently! there are some really beautiful jp va performances i was missing out on. dub is still my preference and go-to, though. i find it's just easier for me, especially considering i zone out a lot while watching TV it's easier to figure out what's happening that way lol

[aveenyjohn]

Subs all the way! Started with dubs as a kid (Dragon Ball Z days, anyone?), but once I switched to subs, couldn't go back. Tried watching AoT dubbed and nearly threw my laptop out the window lol. Something about English VAs trying to match those intense Japanese screams just doesn't hit right. Plus you miss all those untranslatable "NANI?!" moments that make anime... well, anime. Only exception is Cowboy Bebop - that dub is chef's kiss.

Usually dubbed only cause' I don't like to read anime, reading is what you do to books. But due to where I get most of the new anime I watch it's mostly subbed only.

Sub - Ez, I get the better voice and voice acting in my opinion

I prefer dub, because in my opinion it's more exciting and better than sub which i don't really like anymore. I used to watch anime in sub many years ago, but nowadays i like dub more and i personally think the english voice actors do a great job. I still accept people who prefer sub though, but unfortunately there are still many toxic sub watchers in the anime community who can't accept dub watchers and bully them because of it. Liking sub is fine, but what i hate is when sub watchers think their opinion is a fact which is not because everyone has different tastes and you can't speak for all people. I as a example, think that japanese voice actors aren't really that great in voicing the characters just because it's the original language. But that's just my personal opinion, and at least i still accept people with a different opinion about this topic and don't try to state my opinion as a fact like many sub watchers sadly do. I also have to be honest, and say that i don't really like the japanese language anymore because in my opinion it's a boring sounding language but that's just how i think about it. 

I do agree on that, so many sub only watchers are arrogant and look down on dub watchers as less than human. It doesn't matter what language a voice actor speaks, if they're bad then they're bad.

Exactly, but unfortunately there will always be toxic sub elitists in the anime community. So the best you can do is to ignore them like i do nowadays. A few years ago, i always got immediately pissed off about those arrogant and annoying sub elitist comments, but since last year i try to ignore comments like these. Because nowadays i don't want to get my fun of watching anime in dub spoiled anymore by toxic sub watchers, who think they are so cool and edgy with their pointless and childish hate comments towards dub/dub watchers.

Sadly there are elitists to be found in every hobby or interest and I just want to enjoy my hobbies and interests my way and I don't want other people telling how to do it. By the same token it's not my place to tell others how to enjoy their interests. Live and let live and we'll all enjoy what we do.

omg exactly. I usually have to be doing multiple things at the same time, so it's hard for me to sit down and watch subbed anime unless im like tired and don't want to do anything else.

REALEST!!!

[nyaa]

I've been insulted before when I say I vastly prefer dubbed anime to subbed and I usually just tell them to shove it and go on my merry way, cum se cum sa is what I say.

[ReverzerO]

You ve been insulted just because you prefered dub over sub 

[Moestub]

Nothing wrong with dub or subs, but i prefer subs, english isn't my native tongue so i don't get more enjoyment out of it than japanese, and the seiyuus do an amazing jobs.

Some people are so preoccupied with being elitist that it gets concerning, lol. Kinda ironic because the experience of watching an anime is a bit subjective/personal to begin with.. What's a dub or two really  

[efaardvark]

I can generally understand spoken Japanese and the clutter of subs can sometimes get in the way so for me I usually just go with the original audio.  I read fast too though so for those rare times when the dialog is complicated or whatever then I'll usually turn on the subs rather than switch to dub.

[fluffybug]

personally i tend to prefer subs, but there are some series like paswg where the dub is just better lol granted i dont watch dubs very often unless recommended by a friend so i can't comment on the quality of a lot of newer ones o:

[Kari]

I watch both but prefer watching dub because I don't like to read subtitles.
