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. ^^

I like both equally, but if I had to make a decision, I would say I prefer watching it in English. I'd much rather listen to things in my own language rather than listening to one thing and having to read another. The dub isn't perfect, but neither is the Japanese and there are plenty of things I prefer in one over the other, so I can't fairly decide on which is better. I thought the actors in both versions were great.

Admittedly, I twitched a little when I heard the way the dub pronounced Gino's last name, but I can't just flat-out hate a dub just for a mistake I was expecting anyway.
