Dubs vs Subs

[Cheesecake]

I think you should atleast chalk it up to the Dubbers, because for places outside of Japan's case, most of you would not know/watch anime if it wasnt for some of those horrible dubs. Most of you probably have seen your first anime in dub form, and the art style and in depth character relacted storyline compelled you to watch further. The voice acting in my opinion is completely void if the dub is bad, and I tend to just focus on the scenery, story-line and other things.

I do prefer subtitles, though, in their original form they are much easier to understand since they follow the ORIGINAL intend of the show, but keep in mind who brought it to you. Like I said before, without most of the dubs that ADV, Funi, Geneon, US Manga, Ocean Group etc have produced, they bring you series and allow you to get into the story and have the desire to see its sub, to get a feel for how it 'should' be.

To its profit though, not all dubs are bad. Full Metal Alchemist, Noir, Eva, Tsukihime, Scrapped Princess, Angelic Layer, Kaleidostar and .hack had very well put together dubs in my humble opinion, as did Ranma 1/2 and Hellsing. I stand by Utawarerumono, Haruhi, Higurashi no naku koro ni, Kanon, Air, Eureka 7, Karin and MANY MANY others as having severely superior original sub versions.. and even FMA through Hellsing, some if not all of them had similar if not superior subs.

So my opinion stands as Subs being superior, but I appreciate the efforts and the hand the dubbers had in giving Anime to a more mainstream audience.

Oh and PS

ANIME Is the plural form. It isn't ANIMES and you all look retarded when you pluralise it. It's like saying "I need to cut all your hairs."

Also, ADV is said to be dead by next year, Anime industry in america will be dead in 2 years max.
