No offense intended but I hate how much english-speakers talk, but then...I have the same problem with others which I won't mention unless I want to pass as a racist?

Still, I like in in japanese in GOOD and LOYAL subs. It's how it was intended and it's censore-free =)

I started out only watching the dubs, but after awhile, I ended up recognizing voices. It usually freaks me out for a bit if the characters are like completely different but have the same voice, and while I've noticed it in the Japanese, it doesn't bug me quite as much. I'm picky. XP

For me, it's been Japanese with subs for awhile now.

It depends on which voice actors are better. I think Cowboy Bebop had better english voice actors but the Sonic the Hedgehog movie I couldn't stand the english voice actors, so I liked it in japanese.

I definitely prefer to watch anime in its original language. I feel that the people who made the anime knew what they were doing when they carefully casted the voice actors. If it was made in Japan, then I want to listen to it in Japanese. It's as simple as that.

JApanese voice with english sub thats they way it should be, and that goes with ALL films, when its dubbed it dosnt seem right, the voices dont match their characters and it all seems a bit fake... thats what i think anyhoe

Japanese with English subtitles. Just the voices flow better with the lip syncing. And some dubbing studios I really hate.

I prefer Subbed because most of the time they give them gay voices like how they did naruto and then theirs naruto saying beleive it all the time instead of dattebayo which sounds cooler

Of course in Japanese with English subtitles. Because it sounds more natural.

I like both. I prefer to watch English, seeing as how that is the only language I can speak and understand, but it is interesting when the voices are completely different :3

I love Japanese version with English subtitles. Some English dubbed animes are OK, but I can't hear any BGM or sound at all. No matter how good the dub is, it can't never beat the original seiyuus. Plus, the seiyuus are too cute to miss~~~ :D

Japanese w/ subtitles is the only way to go for me.

Ergh ew.. English dubbing is so horrible, I can't stand it! It's so fake, and doesn't fit the character at all. They sound extremely lifeless. It's best to watch it in Japanese with english subs. ^^

Japanese...with English subtitles. The Japanese voices are usually better.

I japanese of coz...not sure why...
maybe it makes me feel like it's 'really' 'original'...

Japanese verson is better. one reason is because, the voice of the real character has been changed,and the emotion and especially the song,the word has change..it is not nice at all....the japanese version is much more better

japanease with subtitles...
The original voice cast are usualy better and give more to the characters personalities...

I'd like the original voice...

Origin is the best

well it depends, i like the original mostly but some english dub cud be very gud actually i prefer the english VA for DNAngel rather than the japanese one cuz the english VA captures the characters' personality more... well just my opinion ^^

i second the emotion. it depends.

i love anime dubbed by aniplex.
and japanese with english subtitles rocks, like bleach!

well you can't of seen any good english dubs then :p

What annoys me is how people go "English sucks cause its fake or not original/Japanese rocks cause its original" >_>

but does that go for every foreign movie? or just anime? if its for every foreign movie/show then maybe i can understand, but really, just get over it, if you buy the dvds, just switch to japanese >_>

I watch in both english and japanese, ive never had any problems with them, aside from Ah! mY goddess, just that my preference for that is japanese xD, fair enough its your favourite show but for all anime?

Read or Die TV was a good example at top English voice acting IMO

just because its not japanese you dont need to go "blah that sucks cause its english, i want japanese"

if you do have any dual audio anime or anime dvds, i challenge any of you that hate english dubbing cause its "fake" to watch a series all in japanese first then watch it again all in english.

They wouldn't have it sounding "fake" at all, they do the best they can with what they have, sometimes they may goof up with the voices. Although i can understand if they grab a show like naruto and try to bring it down to a younger audience, the same with one piece lol

I love to do both when I realy like the anime! First I watch it a few times in english, then japanese with subtitles, after that once or twice japanese with no subtitles. After that, just whatever I'm in the mood for. Like I said, only when I realy like it. (otherwise I get sick of it real quick! lol)

I prefere Jap. cuz they sound alot better then the English voice actors....plus most of the time when they translate its wrong = =

For anime series, english voiceacting is almost always horrible,so Japanese with English subtitles is much preferred. However, anime movies often have more believable of voiceactors, so I actually like the English voiceacting in anime like 'Streetfighter II the Animated Movie' and 'Steamboy'.
