English or Jap?

What do you prefer to see CG in? Or any anime? I prefer English because I hate having to divert my eyes away from the action just to read the subtitles so I can keep up with the plot. Even if the English dub can sound melodramatic or corney sometimes. I watched CG once in Jap and a second time in English and I do have to admit that Lelouch's English voice is way sexier ; ) I think his voice in the Jap version is strange because it makes him sound like a 30 year old man rather then an 18 year old. But that's just me. ^^

When it comes to Code Geass, I liked both the original and the dub in different ways. True, the original generally has better voice talent, but I think speaking English works better in the context of the show. The only serious complaint about the dub I can file is that the female voices were mostly lame and/or annoying.
