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. ^^

I prefer the subs. Where I live all foreign TV shows and movies, including English/US ones, are being subbed (unless they're aimed towards very young children), so reading subtitles feels more natural to me than listening to dubs. I also find the Japanese language more enjoyable to listen to than English.

I've heard a little of the dub though and I thought it was pretty good.
