There needs to be a "both" option in the poll. While I prefer subs, there are a lot of good English dubbed anime(Ghost in the Shell is one of the best).
 
IMO it depends on the anime and the quality, i like both like most people but when it really comes down to it i pick subbed over dubbed. The reason why is because anime is artwork, and tbh its usually a lot better when its in Japanese. The only anime shows i can think of that are good in english is naruto and Code Geass
 
I guess it would depend on the anime itself. I know that a lot of people don't like dubs because of the audio/video sync, but that never really mattered to me. If the translation just.. dumbs down the meaning too much, then I won't like it. Similarly if it's just.. too wordy or something, particularly for anime that doesn't necessarily have much action in it, then I probably wouldn't like it.

I don't mind subs at all, though, so if a dub is bad enough I'll definitely go with subs.
 
Subbed, unless you're watching Dragonball z.

I personally prefer pokemon in english as well because I grew up on their cheesy voices.
 
Always subs! For me, the original language seems to carry more emotion than the dubs. Dubs have always sounded stiff to me, and it takes away from my enjoyment. I will sometimes watch the dub of a show after I've already seen the Japanese, but I don't look specifically for dubs, only subs.
 
Only dubbed for me unless its some obscure series that will never be dubbed (Reborn)

It all depends on what anime you watch. Before you watch subs, a lot of times you won't really care.

I didn't watch anything subbed until I started my 5th anime, which had an awful dub, unbearable. So I watched it subbed, then rewatched the other 5 subbed and decided that (aside from dbz and pokemon) i would only watch subs.

All people are different though, and it all depends on the anime, a lot of dubs are done well, particularly (I've noticed) the dubs funimation does, they tend to get it right. But theres a lot of time that one character with the annoying voice that makes me hate the dub.

E.G.
Natsu : Fairy Tail
Black Star : Soul Eater
Edward : Full Metal Alchemist
 
I prefer dub, because I hate having to read quickly to watch the anime. Puts a strain on my eyes.

Right, because in the end, you get the same story, whether it be from dubbed voices or subtitles.
Anime is still anime, and anime, is awesome

I prefer subs, because when it's dubbed, the voices sometimes lose the feelings the original person meant to expres, just look at Vampire Knight, dubs in there sound so dull ._.
 
Only if the dub is top tier will I use dub. I consider DBZ a top tier dub, and one piece a Demi tier dub. I'll watch Demi if I don't feel like reading, but I prefer sub in every other case.
 
Either for me. Really depends on if I can find any dubs or not.
If I find an anime which has a dub, i'll watch that. But if the anime doesn't have a dub and I need to watch it in subs, it doesn't really bother me much. But what annoys me most with dubs is some of the voice actors' incapability to act well... lol.
 
I watch both. Some subs I like better and there are some dubs I like better. Anime is anime.

The only series so far where I've liked both equally is Full Metal Alchemist.
 
Dubbed for me. Subbed is just ughh
