The on going debate between Dub and Sub on the internet is endless. The debate about sub being the original verison of the anime and dub being the cursed alter verison of an anime. It's an endless debate that anime nerd have discuss time and time again with never side agree all that often. So, let's see jump into this discuss once again!
What do you think of dub and sub? Which do you prefer; sub or dub? Are dub really as bad as some people make them out to be?
I have prefer subtitle. My reason is good enough for myself that I like how the japanese voice go with the characters of the series more than I do than dub, but I will admit, it depend on which verison I see first. Unless a subtitle or dub is really bad, which ever I watch first, I will prefer. Why? Simple, I just get use to that voice while watching that anime in sub or dub first. I don't have the other verison to compare it the sub or dub to, so I just get use to it. This is why I prefer the english in Tokyo 2040, Evangelion, Nadesico and Inuyasha over the japanese. Evangelion dub is good, so just because I saw it first and grew us it, doesn't make it any better or worse than the sub. In the end, it's a preference, but some people try to make it fact that sub are superior in every way to dub, which I find a bit ignorant and arrogant.
Dub bring not bad. There purpose is to translate an anime into an language for the person of that language to understand. I don't really see a need or point to whine about how bad a dub is, unless we're discuss the issue with DBZ and the censorship done to it's script. That's more fact, than just a personal perference since the script was completely re-vamp from the original DBZ. The voices are just for your own personal preference. Though, I do believe if a person watched an anime in japanese first, they'll like it more than english verison they watch. This doesn't apply to everybody, but I do believe it does apply to quite a few people, who will never admit such a thing.
Dub are not bad to make it short. People can whine about how much they suck and that ''they're not the original verison'' of the anime, but if the anime creator cared as much as them, they won't have gave the rights to that dub company to do that to their anime, so best not whine so much about it in my mind. If the anime was ripped and voices were placed on the series with the right of the creator of that anime, then I can see where people are coming from, but as it stands now, I honestly can't.
