What was the first subbed anime program you ever watched and how did you react to the program not being in American? Did you like or dislike it?
Me: Rozen Maiden. It was a little weird at first, but I got used to it around three episodes in.

I'm gonna say Bleach.
Back when I first started watching it, I had only seen anime on TV dubbed, and I watched fansubbed Bleach after someone recommended it to me. It was an odd experience, but watching subbed martial arts movies helped the transition.
Familiar of Zero, and I prefer sub to dub for most anime.
Trigun. I actually kinda liked it.
How it should be! Dubs are okay some of the time, but subs bring so much more to the watching anime experience.Quote:

Better subbed than dubbed.
My first subbed anime was Naruto, back in 2006.
The hentai prince and the stony cat on crunchroll about a year ago. I didn't like that voice acting in dubbed as much as subbed, change was needed.
I don't remember. I can't stand subbed anime. I'd rather watch a terribly dubbed anime over a subbed.
Why would you watch a terrible dub over the original subbed voices? Everyone has an opinion and I respect that, but damn I pity you and what you are missing.Quote:

Same with old school Bruce Lee/kung fu movies. I'd rather watch some terrible voice over than have to read the entire showing.Quote:

The voices in all honesty are not annoying to me at all, but that is something that really depends on the viewer so I can't hold that against you.
Remember that you also limit yourself on anime due to not every anime getting a dub and currently airing anime are out of reach to you due to them being sub only.
Not all dubs are bad, but damn do they ruin my experience.
This is true, I am limited. I haven't watched the second season of High School DxD because its not subbed yet. As for the ability to read and watch, it boils down to me being an extremely slow reader. Sometimes I won't even be done reading and its switching to the next line. My fiancee hates me for this. We'll be reading an article together and she has to tell me when she is done so I just start skipping paragraphs so she doesn't have to wait.Quote:

Im still waiting for one day for a LoTGH to be dubbed, i know is a real strech and the best we could get if that show gets a R1 dvd release will be subbed but heres hoping!
I really wish anime was like american movies, they get dubbed in spanish french italian german ect really quicly. With companies like funimation you have to wait like 2 years... Oh well...
Attack on Titans i only watched subbed because my friends said its a really amazing anime(and it is) but im not really a fan of subbed anime i hate their voices but once attack on titans is Dubbed i will re-watch it
Fairy Tail.
It was hard reading the dialogue and watching what was going on at first, but then i got use to it and i'm fine with it. I prefer dub because i can listen and watch what's going on, unlike sub, when i had to read and the voice sometimes messed me up. If there is no other option,however, i don't mind watching sub.
Mine would be Shakugan no Shana. Already used to seeing sub since i use to watch Jap Drama.
