japanese with subs.!! orginal anime is better.. dubb suks... it kills the whole aime sumtimes..

Japanese Naruto


Toonami (US) Naruto


XDDDD

Not only dubb kills, editing the show is another thing. I still think thats funny how they changed the kunai and blood with an apple and a lunch box. Who knows maybe they'll go Naruto Uncut in CN like what they did to DBZ

-Phil-

It would be nice to just see everything the way it is even when they dub it in English. Seriously , there are wayy more worse things in tv why would they have to censor everything down?

When it's in English I can enjoy it better cuz I don't have to always look at subs but I do still prefer the original.

rofl. they leave things out in dubbed. so i get pissed off about it. subtitles are the way to go!~ ^^

Subtitles are waay better.
And funnier when you figure out what thy're actually saying.

^ LMAO

Yeah, when I got the Inuyasha movie 4 the subtitles were kinda messed up and it's funnu because a friend put the subtitles ^^

And it's how I watch all the inuyasha movies, in english first then Japanese, it's fun to see how the subtitles say it's different that what they say in the english version.

Subtitles are alwayz better for me because the first anime I watched was subb'd and the most recent one I watched was subb'd I just watch everything subb'd and got use to looking at the picture and reading it at the same time =P.

But sometimes if I watch a anime dubb'd that I haven't watched in japanese yet it doesn't really matter to me.

I just buy the DVDs, so depending on the anime, I can watch it either subbed or dubbed. I prefer dubbed though, because I don't like to read a TV show/ Movie.

I actually really like the english audio. (When it is done well), I don't like reading the movie too much, if i want to read i'll go get the book or manga, you know. I like the english audio. The fruits basket dvds are pretty nice too. Good voices that fit the characters (for most of them), it was done well :)

SUB FTW

this topic is still alive? @.@ this was my 2nd topic ever made...*suprised**blush*
but yeah i cracked up on the naruto edit..HAHAHA that was funny

overall i like subtitles, but there are some dubs, that are ok like- FMA, Mobilesuit gundum, and a couple more...(actually put some effort in it) But hey, it's better than nothing ^-^

japanese with subtitles.

english audio sucks ass.

I prefer subbed but I watch dubbed too.

lols i love jap with subs

i dont like how they translate in english and use lame voices...

I prefer Japanese audio with English subtitles.

Japanese voices are cooler.

I prefer subtitles.

Dubbed ones make me cringe.

subtitles...yah...original...english sounds weird

I hate the dubbed version, although when you go with the subtitles, you usually get some interesting words. i.e. - cuss words. That's the only thing I don't like about hte subtitles. But, when you have those, nothing is lost in translation.

dubs suck, the voice actors usually sound lyk theyre all done by the same person on crack or something....the one thing with subtitles tho is the engrish ::cringe::

It depends, Gravitation's English dub sucked, but Trigun's and Cowboy Bebops were really good!

EXAMPLES

when jap audio w/subs are better: naruto

when enflish dubs are better: gantz

yeah totally! the English dub for Naruto was a disgrace ><

I prefer subbed, because when they dub the anime, the voices they choose aren't very good most of the time, and they always have to talk to fast so it looks/sounds stupid. I don't mind watching it dubbed, though.

I, for one, like dubs. It's because I appreciate them more, I suppose. Funamation does a wonderful job of matching the voices to the characters and preserving plot in a way that non-Japanese will understand. And as bad as Naruto was, you must admit that Naruto is a hyper tween. His voice fits even if you don't like it.
Subs are boring to me, the don't carry the flavor of dubs. I find it funny that they translate things in vastly different ways. I also don't use the actual subtitles half of the time because they don't actually carry the meaning of the words coming out of a character's mouth most of the time.

I'm sorry, but I have to differ. They add more dialouge in the dubs because Japanese requires more syllables. "Watashi wa Reili desu" takes more time to say than "I am Reili". Atleast for me it does.

Subbed fo sho.

Dubbed if I'm too lazy to read.

If there's some high action scene or something I'll just watch it dubbed then. Having to read "You killed my brother!! You must die!" can be lame. Takes out the "emotion."

I like to watch them in both Listening to it in english gives me a better feel 4 it but I watch the subtitles to help me understand what's really going on

japanese audio with english subs! its awesome! its best to hear anime in its native tongue!! xD its more original.

Even though there are times when the reading can be a bit much, I prefer subtitles to dubs. It's just better anime

YES I LOVE THE JAPANESE VERSION WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLED THE BEST.

theres this anime that i liked but i dont remember what it was called cause it's an old anime. AND AND IN ENGLISH VERSION. THEY FREAKING USE THIS HOT ANIME GUY LIKE A FREAKING HIGH TONE VOICE!! totally messed up. IT RUINED HIS IMAGE lol xD


he sounds like smiggly when he usually talks like a tough man. T_T

and I LOVE when they use this cute accent in japanese. it's so freaking cute

ok im done lol

I actually prefer dubbed voices. :o

Don't get me wrong, sometimes the voices are horrible, but I hate it when I have to avert my attention from the anime itself so I can read subtitles. There are some animes that have excellent dubbed voices, but it's just that most people believe that dubbed is t3h ebil, so they don't even bother. :(

I'm all for dubbed voices.

^WEWT im not alone! Full Metal Alchemist got award for best US dubbed and Miyazaki films are better to watch in Dub too IMO.

heh. not that surprising.



I second that notion. ;p

subtitles of course.

dubbed is really werid, i don't know how to explain it but I prefer subtitles all the way

I prefer the Subtitles, it sounds odd when its in english.

subtitltes ALL the way.....but have you ever heard of the japanese voices for Dragon Ball Z....horrible....English suits that pretty well....English dubbed for samurai champloo was good too...but the NAruto english dubbed voices...i cant stand them lol...so Japanese subs all the way

SUBBED! there's no way I could watch dubbed anime. it's too painful. >.>

plus, I can't believe some people find it hard to read and watch at the same time. it's like..barely multitasking. plus you improve your reading skills and japanese!

i would totally go wit subittles even though sometimes i can't read it fast enough but it's more interesting when there's subtittles

I actually prefer dub. Why? Because I'm a voice actress >_>
I have to enjoy my work, ne?

Thats awsome!!!!! I've always wanted to try out to be a Seiyuu.

Japanese with subs, DEFINATELY.

It's the show in it's truest forum that we can understand.. I <3 it!!

Jap with subs. I mean I will watch it in english if... 1-nothing is on and 2- I never seen it and I can't download it anywhere because it was already licenced.
