Usually subbed, but the exceptions at the moment are Cowboy Bebop and FLCL. I've watched a few scenes of the Suzumiya Haruhi dub and they're good, but I prefer subs still. Yu Yu Hakusho has a respectable dub and so does Gundam 08th Ms Team.

Subbed, hands down, no question. Dubbed versions lose all emotion and become way too silly...and supercrappy.
Depending on who's doing the dubbing, I really don't mind it. I just prefer listening to exposition than reading it.
That said, 4Kids dubs, editing, and censoring needs to shut the hell up. What a way to ruin a bunch of otherwise decent series.

I prefer dubbed. Only on rare occasions is the voice acting actually bad enough that I'll go to subtitles instead. Frankly, I like being able to use my eyes to actually look at the things happening on screen, rather than reading the dialog like its a particularly colorful book.
Depends completely on the series. There are some that have such good dubs that watching it in Japanese is actually worse. While I always watch series like Ghost In The Shell: SAC and Full Metal Panic (plus many others) in English, there are also quite a few (like the Love Hina Anime) that have such horrible dubs that Japanese is a necessity.
Really? Is that a rule, I did not know?TheNumber1Zero said:
I think this is fine though, but i could see if it was racist or Nationalist how it could be trouble.

Still, if the Mods leave it alone, I suppose that it's fine.
I do prefer dubs with most series that I've watched - though if enough of the characters voices really grate on my nerves I usually check out the subs to see if they are better. Seriously, some of the American voice actors are terrible for what they do to the characters.
I prefer dubs because it's easier for me to pay attention while watching because I have a really bad attention span and end up multitasking while watching anything. So yeah. But I'll watch a sub if no dub is available or if the dub to a show is just godawful (like the one they got for Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X on Hulu. Oy).
I haven't watched in a long time. However I almost always go with subbed when I do. I used to watch dubbed versions, but it just doesn't seem the same after you try subbed.
actually clicked this without seeing the Anime at the beginning.
Don't watch anime, really- but I always like to go for original language/subtitles whenever possible for a film or show, especially. Games are usually better, but films are meant to be seen in the language they were filmed in- when I was in Japan I saw a dubbed version of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End... it just seemed off

Don't want to sound a snob but, I actually cannot watch anime if its dubbed. It seems that t.v stations spend hundreds of thousands buying the rights then employs the managers 6year old daughter to do the voices. I'm sure there are exceptions but I haven't found them.
Most of the time I watch them with subs, like Bleach, Tengen Toppa, Soul Eater, but some of the dubs are decent like Cowboy Bebop.
For the people that say they hate subs just because they have to read or it distracts them from what's going on on screen, I have one thing to say to you, when you read the subs I'm pretty sure it doesn't take two hours to read one line of text, I look down read back up and wow nothing happened.
