Poll: Anime- dubbed or subbed?

[RYjet911]

Dubbed, for two reasons:
1) I usually watch videos alongside other stuff, so I don't like being forced to stare at the bottom bit of the screen reading what's being said.
2) I can understand the tone better of the character's voices in English.

There are a couple of cases where the dubbed voice acting was better than the subbed, but with the horrific experiences of Americanization in shows like Digimon, i prefer subs. Dubs don't actually add anything good while subs can sometimes save me from some really awful animes since it creates a small feel of cultural distance. If it weren't for subtitles i probably would've jumped out of a fucking window while watching Zero no Tsukaima or High School of the Dead.

As a general rule of thumb I prefer subbed. Dubbing is more often then not, rotten.
