English or Jap?

[elly3981.livejournal.com]

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. ^^

Hey man, don't ruin my Inuyasha nostalgia!

I think most people will prefer whichever one they watched first, which is likely why all the answers in favour of the subs are cropping up (that and well, weaboos who won't have it any other way). I watched the dub second, but I'm still buying the DVDs and don't mind watching either one, since I'm fond of many of the English VAs for their performances in other series or games (several are from Odin Sphere, one of my favourite games). :)

hey, I was a huge Inuyasha fan. Just...certain aspects of the dub really bothered me, but I won't go into that because this is a code geass comm.

I do agree with you that people will prefer what they watched first though. I saw Escaflowne dubbed before I saw it subbed, and while I'm sure the sub is great, I always automatically set it to dub when I go to watch it.
