Sub vs. Dub

[Riskbreakers]

I like to watch anime (or anything, for that matter) subbed solely because the original language is defined. It's often directed better too as the original voice actors are working with the team who write and create the anime. You shouldn't watch subs just because of Otaku culture but because they reflect characters much better. Tones of voice are expressed much better in the original languages.

99% of dubs are absolutely god awful. Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star (maybe Evangelion) are probably the only good dubs I have watched. Everything else is cringe worthy since you're just watching a bunch of people try to imitate Japanese speech in English. It's just horrible.

And don't give me anything on "don't want to read".

I don't like reading and yet subs are practically the only reading experience I can tolerate XD. I really do have to agree with you however. The anime gets more emotional with original Japanese voices. The Persona 4 anime/game dubbing wasn't too bad though, compared to the other crap dubbing companies have tossed out before (ehem Medabots)


I could also imagine American singers trying to sing English versions/dubbed version of Love Live songs. It isn't a pretty thing to imagine.
