Inb4 subs>
i think they did a great job. I dont rly like armins voice though. He has that crybaby voice but his voice is too high pitch for me.

To be frank this is the show that forced me to listen to subs for the first time and inadvertently made me appreciate them more than I do English dubs. To each their own though.

I watched this in between Fullmetal and Fullmetal Brotherhood and the second I started Brotherhood I swapped over to the sub version and the rest is history. English dub just sounds so generic and unfitting.

it varies for me. i grew up watching dbz's dubs, so i can't watch vegeta/piccolo sub'd. i can't take them seriously. i really liked code geass dubbed way more than sub'd just because lelouch is badass delivering his lines. death note i prefer sub'd. i can't stand yui's english voice on k-on. i like the way japanese yuno says "yuki" on future diary. and rie kugimiya sounds so friggin cute.

with that said, i've been looking forward to this dub'd!

Currently watching Bleach (not about to hear a nigga say "bankai" in English) but figured I'll take a break every hundred episodes or so and sneak in something short; got a dude at work that's all about Code Geass, would you recommend?

Mmmmh... FMA:B is the one of the very few animes that has a decent dub in my opinion; though, no matter how good the dubbed version is the subbed version will always be superior.

Trigun, Baccano?

it's one of my favourites, assuming it's your genre (shounen; mecha; kid takes over the world). it's not really "short" though, i think it's 25 eps x 2 seasons. shorter than bleach ofc, but imo short = 1 season of 13ish eps, eg angel beats or mirrai nikki.

the english voice of Ichigo Kurosaki does lelouch in code geass, the guy who voices Yasutora Sado has a role, and crispin freeman (one of my favourites, eg arucard) has a role.

dub/sub comparison so you can pick for yourself (spoilers):

I had done the original FMA in English and had no qualms. It was just the epiphany I had watching Attack on Titan that made me want to jump into Japanese dialogue headfirst. There's some shit out there that I had originally watched in English that if I were to ever watch again, it'd probably have to remain in English (Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop).



Thanks for taking the time to link me those; really cool scene. Gonna go ahead and stick to the subbed version. 50 episodes isn't bad, I might do a season, watch ~100 more Bleach, then continue on with the second.

Awesome , thanks for letting me know.

I watched Black Butler last night with subs and I'm starting to think that subs are honestly for dumb people.... they cut out like 50% of the dialogue from the dub version. I know this isn't the case with every anime but that's the third one I've watched and done a close dub/sub comparison and it wasn't even close which was more detailed.

i've always been a huge fan of captions. i like watching dubs with the subs on screen at the same time.
