...but really, to each his own. The only thing I 
really get self-righteous about is things 
like "unedited" anime they show on CN that IS 
edited -.-;;; Lies, lies, I tell you!

For me, I have taken the time to learn Japanese, 
and so I prefer to watch mine subbed or raw. It 
sounds a LOT better when the character's original 
voice can be heard, especially since a lot of the 
time the script is written around the nuances in 
that character's voice. I've never been a fan of 
dubbing any language, because I hate that 
egocentrism of "The rest of the world SHOULD 
speak English"...I like hearing things how they 
were originally meant to be heard, not how it's 
convenient to be heard.

However, on the flipside, I can understand those 
who prefer dubs. A friend of mine watches dubs 
because she has severe eye problems, and so 
watching subs would be a huge strain on her. It's 
very convenient to have dubs out there for people 
who can't watch subs.

But still, I prefer subs. It's just....nicer. 
Plus, the translation is a lot better...a lot 
more accurate, because they don't have to worry 
about fitting things in a certain amount of 
speaking space. For certain dub actors, they let 
them "improvise"...::shudder:: THAT frightens me, 
right there.

Again, though, to each his own.
