I don't usually go for dubs, certainly not if it's going to be a long airing anime and I've to wait an extra year or two for the dubbed version to come out, but I prefer comedy centered anime (like k-on) dubbed, reading subtitles makes you miss visual cues, you either read it too fast and wonder what's going on until the animation has caught up or you miss it completely, either way spoiling the joke.

The only animes that I can think of off the top of my head that I'd rather watch dubbed are Hellsing and Berserk. Hellsing because so many of the characters are British and German that it just seems wrong to listen to them in Japanese. Not to mention that I think the dub actors actually sell the campy aspects of the show even than the sub actors do. And Berserk just because there's a demon in one episode whose Japanese voice actor just completely ruins the episode he's in and I'd just as soon watch it dubbed all the way through. I don't know why, but the Japanese insist on using deep voiced Japanese guys to play demons, using no kind of effects to alter the voice to make it sound any different than just some Japanese guy who drinks too much whiskey. And they even had him act out the roars the demon made. He just sort of sounded like he was garbling spit. If you're going to have something roar then for god's sake use a sound effect, you dip****s! There's definitely a fanboy tendency to overrate the quality of Japanese voice acting though. Most Japanese performances might be better than their Western counterparts, but these generally aren't Emmy-worthy performances. You're still getting people who may or may not be any better than generic TV actors.

As far as subs vs dubs, I prefer English dubs. Subtitles can distract from the action and sometimes get in the way for me. I don't think the English dubs are all that bad. I can see why people like the Japanese with English subs better but I just prefer it in English.

just started watching majimoji rurumo, which was kind of but not really recommended to me. i think it's super cute. i've never read the manga though (or knew about it prior).
i've also been watching sailor moon crystle and zankyou no terror, or at least the episodes released so far. read the first 2 volumes of doll (another recommendation), which was pretty cool too

Some anime i prefer dubbed like Inuyasha or Yu yu, Death note or Rurouni kenshin with spanish dubs others i prefer subbed..
At least for me it all depends in what language i first saw the series in, for exmpl i got into Inuyasha through toonami so i got used to hearing it in english and when i heard it in japanese i didn't like it as much, i thought they captured the characters better in english DBZ i originally watched in english but i prefer it in japanese, at least for me it all depends if they match it with the right voice and the right attitude whether it be dubbed or subbed

Yeah francis, sometimes english dubs are better like Cowboy Bebop and Trigun for example. The english voice acters invoked much more personality but other times its the opposite.
So I started watching Attack On Titan and holy sheet it lives up to the hype. I would not wanna run into one of those things, they are sketchy as ****!

Started ghost in the shell after watching the film.
I liked the film. I find Motoko's character in the show a little off putting. She is cold and calculated. I don't like her hyper sexualized transformation in the show. It deters from what is otherwise a very mature, semi plausible(using the term loosely) anime. It doesn't fit with my interpretation of her character. I get she's part cyborg, but she's still a professional and is attending board meetings with politicians wearing no pants. |

Just got done binge watching the **** out of Death Note, it's one of only a few that I've ever actually finished.
It faltered around episode 16 for me. It was absolutely brilliant before that and I was completely enthralled, but after a certain event happens where Light puts himself in jail I just felt like it lost all of its magic. I still watched until the end and enjoyed it all the same, but I was definitely disappointed by the second half of the show. Still though, as an overall package it's really damn good. But I'm sure all of you here already knew that, so carry on.
