Subbed, I usually prefer the original Japanese voicing over any other language. Plus, I prefer to read something over listening to it.

There are some where dubbed works and sounds better, and some where its the other way round. I find it often depends more on the dubbing quality than anything else.
Subbed here. Mainly because the new eps are subbed much faster and so I don't even give dubbs a chance. I like watching the dubbs though just to see what they are like. Some are too funny (bleach).Sightless Wisdom said:
I prefer subs
I find an odd entertainment in hearing what they were originally meant to say,rather than the alterations,regardless of the degree of alteration,made in the dubs.

I'll usually watch english dubbed anime though I have no problems with subtitles as long as they are legible (whoever though red subtitles on a black background was a good idea should be shot).
I watch foreign live action films with subtitles though as it just sounds funny with British or American voices coming out of asian mouths.

Leaning towards subs. There are a few good dubs out there though. The dubs for FLCL and Yu Yu Hakusho just sound right.
I normally prefer subs, though since I took some Japanese in high school I sometimes watch raws (no subtitles, voiced in Japanese) to see if I can guess what the fuck's going on.
Fortunately, it's not that hard to figure out most shows.
Some dubs are good, but a lot tends to be lost. They're like rapists.

Of course, a lot of stuff suffers. Even manga to anime, or book to other.

Any one that likes Dubs is just thick and can't stand actually READING something.
God knows that's hard to do.

ill watch an anime movie in english and just for the heck of it, watch it again subbed.
yea, so far bleach has had some great english voice actors, i especialy like the voice for Gin, Kenpachi, and Komamura the most so far.(Renji is a given)
Subs. Ill-fitting voices and dialogue customised to be a certain number of syllables long just fucking ruins it for me every time.
I'd have to say dubbed. Mostly because subbed feels like reading with a colourful background. (Not like I don't like reading though.) Now if only they could get good voice actors. -,-
I almost exclusively watch subbed, but I'll usually switch to a dub for a few minutes to see what each of the characters sounds like in English. The only anime I watch fully dubbed is Yu Yu Hakusho because I was introduced to it on Adult Swim and so the Japanese voices just sound weird to me now. I tried to watch Bleach dubbed but since the dubbing is like 200 episodes behind the sub I figured I shouldn't bother.
