Do you prefer anime in English or Japenese??

I just saw the english version of Deathnote and i gotta say it's not half as good as the Japenese version idk why but it just sounds so much better like with Near he sounds really annoying in the English version for some reason thoughts?

English mostly, I cant stand the high pitch and whiny vocal sounds of cute lovely girls of anime shows when they start off talking their mouths endlessly...

Ugh.

English because I can understand it.

Meh, I'm fine with either dubbed or subbed. I watched Code Gaess in both dubbed and subbed, and I was still able to enjoy it either way.

If I was forced to watch anime, neither. I wouldn't want to listen in English because then I could understand the strange and poorly-worded things they were saying. I wouldn't want to listen in Japanese because I really hate how that language sounds. I'd want to listen in French or something, so I wouldn't be annoyed by either problem. :)Dark__Link

English. I only watch Japanese when English isn't available.

English. I prefer to watch my anime, not read it. Also the voices annoy me sometimes.

i have to have english audio, i cant pay attention to the show if i have to stare at the bottom of the screen and read subtitles, funny thing is when its english audio with badly translated english subtitles

Definitely Japanese.

It just sounds better. English actors tend to suck.

But sometimes I won't feel like reading subtitles.

English. Just don't care what others say. Japanese animation looks funny but weird.

I hate teh animes! :x

I really dont care. Either way is fine, as long as the Japaneese has subtitles, because I dont understand it.

Japenese?

Well anyway, I prefer English dubs over Japanese because that way I can multitask.

I can't speak Japanese, so it would have to be in English. Apart from the odd line, Dragonball Z was perfectly fine in English.Bourbons3

Only in Japanese. I haven't heard a single decent english dub. Out of curiosity I tried to watch Great Teacher Onizuka with an english dub - it made my ears bleed.

Depends on the anime. If it has high-quality dubs like Cowboy Bebop or Devil May Cry (the guy who does Dante in DMC3 & 4 does Dante in the anime) then I can watch it in English. But I prefer it in its originally recorded language: Japanese. Why? Because English voice actors mostly suck and none of them can match the emotive ability of the original Japanese VA's. You don't need to understand the language to hear tonal changes in people's voices... and if not done properly, the recording effects the overall quality of the anime.

EDIT: I have yet to watch Devil May Cry in Japanese. Its the only anime that I've ever watched where I've only watched the English.

wtf? How can people prefer english dub anime over the orginal japanese dub with english subtitles.?

The english version usually censors and edits many many scenes.

By watchign the english dub you are usually getting a watered down version of the anime.

oh just to put this out there. don't ever watch an anime whose dub was done by 4kids
