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. ^^

With Code Geass I can listen to either because they both have their merits. In a more general sense it really doesn't matter to me. If the dub is good then I won't mind watching the dub. And some dubs are just really fabulous, like Cowboy Bebop and Shin-Chan. If not, whatever, subtitles are fine, I'm so used to them that it doesn't change my level of enjoyment.

Now when it comes to live action movies, subtitled all the way. No matter what the movie is, for some reason the over-dubbing of live action movies are just terrible, and it's not just the lip-syncing, the acting is terrible.
