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. ^^

This may come as a surprise to you, but liking the Illiad does not make you ~*superior*~ and definitely does not mean you have to be a snob. Yes, even if you're 20. And, also, just so you're aware, being a snob is not a good thing. It makes you obnoxious and thoroughly unlikeable.

Also, nice to see that your elitist taste doesn't translate over to your taste in music.

Oh, and just so I'm perfectly clear, the issue is not and was never with your liking the Illiad (which, btw, why did you even bring it up?), or even with preferring Japanese to English. It's this attitude that anyone who prefers to watch something --- a cartoon, of all things --- in their native language must be uncultured, un-educated and 'a sixteen-year-old girl' (... wtf?). I asked a simple question: why do you hate the dub (and why do you consider being a dub-hater to be awesome)? And your response was basically that you hate it because you do, and plus, anyone who likes it is stupid and uncultured.

Oh, yes, and oddly enough, I do read history books, frequently, and science journals and world news. And I watch foreign films in their original language, and I'm learning two foreign languages. And I read classics.

And I'm not a pretentious, snobby, English-hating brat! Imagine that.
