Depends on the Anime or if I want to do something while I watch. Simple as that.
I like the Naruto Shippuden sub more, but if I’m plowing through filler or an arc I don’t care about, I’ll throw on the dub and do the dishes or something.
I cant stand Goku’s Japanese voice, so DBZ is always dubbed for me.
One Punch Man is just as good both ways. I’ve got no preference.
Etc.

But subbed if i want to see spoilers (ive done this with Naruto Shippuden and also Black Clover)
June 25, 2020 at 8:15 am #171452I’ll have to go with Dubbed or Subbed, but if I really want to see the series or it never gets a dubbed I’ll definitely watched the Subbed don’t bother me.
June 25, 2020 at 4:44 pm #171866I’m fine with both. Generally I watch subs when it’s old, classic, vintage anime, because dubs back then just weren’t… very good, to put it mildly. But there can be other factors which make me prefer a sub over a dub, or vice-versa.
Dubs at least started improving somewhere in the 2000’s (such Black Lagoon and Hellsing: Ultimate. And I absolutely loved Troy Baker as Pain in Naruto Shippuden). However these days I’m pretty disillusioned with the state of modern dubs, particularly when FUNimation is involved. When it comes to anime that has a larger Western appeal to it (such as Attack on Titan), they’ll at least put in the effort to deliver a faithful and believable take on the characters. But when it comes to anime that has more appeal to certain niche markets (Koboyashi’s Dragon Maid), it’ll be half-assed. It seems like there is this undercurrent of contempt for Japanese pop culture, what with, shall we say, differences of expression on human sexuality, particularly the female anatomy, in addition to the more traditionalist views of men and women, which run counter to certain ideals in the West. I think we can all tell there are folks within the Western anime industry who seem to greatly dislike otaku culture.

July 1, 2020 at 3:04 pm #174234I say dubbed. This way it allows me to sometimes turn away if I got to do something but still listen in on what’s happening. However, if I know I’m gonna sit and binge for a few, I sometimes will try subbed, I like to hear what they originally say!

July 5, 2020 at 10:00 pm #175664Sometimes Dub is better, imo I prefer the Dub Dragonball

July 10, 2020 at 10:50 pm #177247Personally, I prefer the dubbed, as I can do other things while watching it(if I have seen the series before). Also with the dubbed I don’t have to focus so much on the subtitles and I can look at the whole environment. However, I also have no problem watching the subbed version for two reasons. 1) the show I want to watch hasn’t been dubbed yet. 2) Im impatient and usually the sub is faster than the dub, the exception being simuldubs.
Is there a right or wrong way to watch anime? My belief is no, watch it how you want and damn the people who say otherwise.
