Do you like watching subtitled animes or redubbed ones?

*Mr.Turtle* · 03-16-2011, 12:19 PM

I prefer subtitle coz the redub are always awefull...

although lots of animes are redubbed into English and other languages these days like Pokemon, Yogio, detective conan... but they don't sound right to me.

I wouldn't say all dubbings are awful, but there are a lot of them that are. I do prefer subs though. More because I prefer to hear the Japanese language.

mostly subs, but there are a couple of good dubs

I don't really watch anime, but when I catch a show I would prefer a dubbed show over subtitles, I cannot stand having to miss out on what is going on because I'm stuck reading..

Ditto .

Subtitles all the way. In general, most dubs feature horrible overacting and/or voices that are too far off from the originals and don't fit the characters. However, most of the Studio Ghibli dubs are good/watchable and I think I'll always have a soft spot for the original Pokemon and Sailor Moon dubs.

could be one of the good point not being native English speaker. I have always read subtitles on movies and non-animated TV shows, and with the little to no real voice actors in Norway. You in early age learns to appreciate the original dub (Nor. dub of TMNT had helium voices)

And usually when I watch movies have English sub as well, helps often if the sound is low.

I'm not too fussed, i'll watch it whatever way it comes on the telly/default DVD play.

I don't watch a lot of anime anymore, but even back in my otaku high school days I preferred English redubs, for many reasons. For one thing, people seem to grossly underestimate the acting quality of English dubs and at the same time, some Japanese ones aren't exactly as good as many believe them to be.

(I do like how you indicated "redubbed" in the title - because people often seem to forget that all cartoons are dubbed in the first place, no matter the language. That's what the process of adding vocal tracks to it is called

)
