I like subbing better. :cool:

Because there is more feel to the actual language than Dubbing.

I don't actually watch anime but for kung fu films it has to be dubbing. I hate subtitles because I can't read them and see what's going on on the screen at the same time. It would be the same for anime of I watched it too.

I like Subtitles, especially in Final Fantasy. Gives you more of a feel of the way it was intended to be heard.

Sometimes, though, dubbing is necessary. I couldn't stand the Animatrix subtitled.

Definitely subtitles by a long margin! :cool:

Especially US dubs are generally that atrocious that they make your ears bleed :x

The US studios obviously go at the greatest lengths and do anything in their power to get voice actors that don't have the tiniest hint of talent :pinch:
