Ah yes, one of the greatest debates of anime only dwarfed by the underage girls controversy, loli's as we would call them being drawn in very sexual situations or manners in some animes (Yeah I don't want to get banned so im not going to take a stand on if im for or against xD).
Well anyways moving on, I will be on the taking the side of Subs in the dubs v. SUBS argument. I'll admit that there are some dubs, be it few, that actually are decent and some what good (Cowboy Bebop, FMA, not Inuyasha but to be fair inuyasha wasn't good dubbed or subbed). But what really makes me for subs is the fact that dubs in america/other english speaking countries are spreading the weeaboo infection.
Yes the infection, im japanese myself, but seeing the effects of naruto with other licensed animes throughout I start to wish I wasn't. People will trot up to me (cause they only have pale pasty stubs for legs so they can't walk) in their Naruto headbands while lacking in hygiene saying things like "Oh ur japanese OMGZ ur sooooooooo~ KAWAYEEEE" or some other bullshit japanese word that they can insert into a sentence being pronounced horribly wrong.
Most of them argue that fansubbing is hurting the anime industry, wrong its hurting the american anime industry which is the source of the infection. The japanese industry make money by selling the licenses which differ from shows but this isn't their main source of income or even a good portion of it.
Most of it comes from tv airings IN JAPAN and products of their show. So as long as they have legions of otaku fans buying their going to be fine for a long ass time. All in all be it there might be a few good dubs out there I feel that they are doing more bad than good.
Thank you for reading and goodnight or morning or w/e
oh and srry about the wall of words, came back and noticed that i was to lazy to insert spaces so edited it to make more visually appealing
