BLACK CLOVER DUB VS SUB

There are a few anime that SOOO many people ask us to do dub in... (FMAB, DBZ, BC etc), so we think its only fair to let yall decide! I feel like you can never go wrong with sub, but sometimes MAYBE the dub is better? idk but yall tell us lol

We start filming tomorrow!!!!!!

Comments

dbz forsure has to be dub

noyaraised

I wasn’t sure where to put requests for future Anime to watch but id love to have you both watch “Overlord” its such a different concept. A MMORPG player gets trapped in his game and becomes this OP almost god like leader. Instead of a story where someone becomes strong this guy is already the strongest person to begin with.

Kevin Michael

I would say you have to watch DBZ in dub

Tony AAA

Sometimes I wonder if it's just what people are initially exposed to and are used to. A lot of people like the DBZ dub, and I also think it's fine. But I would always prefer to watch it subbed because that's what I watched first. To me, there's just something about the expressions in Japanese that aren't always captured in another language. But anyway, whatever you prefer is the best. These are your experiences after all, and we're just here for the ride.

Oak

I think the best approach is watch some of the scenes back to back in sub and dub (after you've reacted authentically to whichever wins) and see if the scenes feel the same or you prefer it more in one over the other. It's a little bit of work but considering how long the show is it's worth experimenting. I almost always watch a few episodes in sub and then will watch some of the scenes from the episodes in dub (like the more emotional or tense scenes or crucial scenes) to see if the same feeling carries over or if its better/worse and then decide to stick with one.

bb

Dragon ball is the only exception to do in dub.

Julien jackson

PLEASE!!! If you watch DBZ, it has to be in DUB! It's top tier, we don't deserve the Eng DUB voice actors <3

Kyle Goose

Dragonball Z would be my only exception to listening to Dub, they did an amazingly fantastic job with their voice acting.

Corey Rickard

a serie in DUb would be nice, no squeeky sexualized girl voices for a change XD

jeff

sub always. Most dubs are cringe compared to the sub

Jack solorzano

Poll is useless. Watch 3-5 episodes in DUB and SUB format and decide which one you prefer

Normadus

Would make even less sense to go against their own community to appeal to a minority

Lazarus

U guys should watch it in whatever way u prefer. The purpose is for us to watch your reaction so my vote is whichever version u prefer I’ll be here for

RedEyeItachi

Bro, Dub Voice Actors/Actresses for Anime just aren’t as good as the Japanese Voice Actors/Actresses. They don’t take it as serious and aren’t as professional. There’s only the few exceptions like, DBZ, FMAB, Naruto & Fairy Tail Dubs for example

Karaka

First of all calm down. This is the internet, and yes the unfounded dubbed hate is a real thing. A lot of it is blind hate, needs to be called out and is toxic to the anime community as a whole. If it doesn't fit you then fine, but it sure fits a lot of people I see on the internet. Stop acting like ya'll are so appalled and offended, go touch grass.

hockeyplaya1155

Yep, in the reaction watchers space it's pointless, ppl will say sub literally no matter what

MikeAngels99

"To me Dub is more enjoyable as English speaker. I dont want to stare at the screen reading the whole time. Look away for a second and rewind, impossible to multitask with subbed anime. Dubbed voice actors are great and you are able to tell who they are from other animes without guessing or googling as English speaker. To me alot of dubbed voice actors sound better." What's wrong with just this ? Totally respectable and understandable opinion. You just had to sneak this in though. "English speaking Sub enjoyers claim they can tell who it is but I'd bet a million dollars they always have to google it. Not to mention Sub watchers have this weird superiority complex over reading subbed anime, like it matters." This is very similar to what you call a "Ad Hominem". It's basically a personal attack, you put into question their moral integrity by claiming that Sub watchers have a superiority complex. You have no real evidence and you claim it to be true and not an insult. Sure, you may not have targeted anyone specifics but you definitely targeted an entire community/group of people. You also claim that it's a "general statement". That would be correct, if the statement is ACTUALLY "mostly" true. "All humans have 2 eyes." Is mostly true, but someone may have lost an eye for whatever reason. That statement isn't true for that specific person and any other that may apply. " Sub watchers have this weird superiority complex" Is definitely not a general statement. You are using the term wrong OR you truly believe that MOST Sub watchers have a superiority complex and that a minority of them are decent people. So I don't know man, either you are misunderstanding the meaning of the words you are using, or you truly believe all of what you are saying and you weren't civil enough to keep it to yourself.

Kee

Pointless to do a poll with this cultist community thats gonna vote sub on everything regardless

The CulturedGentleman

Please do dub

Andrew6124

That’s dumb

Jboo

Ur not srs uk people would leave if not the majority get there choice use ur brain

Jboo

Ikr. I've watched Bleach after Naruto and notice how literally all the VA's from Naruto voice characters from Bleach too. Same dubbing cast. Love how Kenpachi's voice is like a slightly evil sounding/more badass Jiraiya lol but yeah so many great VA's. I find it so dope when reaction channels watch Naruto first dub and then do Bleach dub (or vice versa) and hear so many familiar voices they recognize. The Normies for example, same with RTTV but they didn't notice as many voices as Normies

Kayso

Yep they just love to hate on dub, “never dub” and play victim when they called on their biases

hockeyplaya1155

I think cyberpunk sounds A LOT better in dub than sub, so since that is in the pipeline you could give that a shot. I believe the dub version was made before the jp version as well (cuz its made for american fans in mind)

Bungkai

@Usher Doesn't matter to me either way. I grew up with the dub and enjoy the sub so I'm fine with whichever.

botanbutton

There’s only a few animes that are good or equal in dub like One Piece, Naruto, DBZ (especially), FMAB

just some random car guy

Dragon ball might turn out different(whenever that happens lol)

Usher

FMAB is the only anime that is better dubbed that I know. You shouldn’t even poll that is not even close. Naruto dub didn’t sound bad either to me.

Stefan Mitrevski

Yeah, this poll was a disaster. 😭 Subs vs Dubs is always gonna be a pretentious battle, no matter where you go. Did ya'll know Japanese people fight about subs vs dubs too? It's hella funny since its dubs vs subs for like Spongebob and King of the Hill. Anyway, I think you two should watch how you want to watch any anime; whether that be in Japanese or English. In the end, your enjoyment is most important. BUT! Not gonna lie tho, I'm a "sub elitist". 😂 That's simply because I understand and enjoy the Japanese language and all that comes with it when watching anime....and variety shows, movies, news, streamers, etc. The cultural nuances you get from the language is chef's kiss. And I just enjoy sharing that when possible. Like Gintama? that's a gold mine right there lol!

botanbutton

I'm a sub fanatic BECAUSE I can understand Japanese tho....

botanbutton

@Dale Diaz 😠Hey! I was a PROPER WEEB and learned Japanese so I can watch without subtitles if needed! The rest of them weebs gave up halfway through a semester of Japanese; truly sorry weebs. smh.😂

botanbutton

This is the one anime I feel strongly about sub over dub. I'd be fine either way, but man... Asta is just a little too much in the dub lol.

Duncan Cofell

@Phil K To give you an example (that might be controversial), Yu Yu Hakusho. I grew up with the English dub and it was my bread and butter, my whole teenage life, I hella loved it (and still do!). But then I learned Japanese, and came back to watch it in Japanese, and got a very wildly different interpretation of a few of the characters, in particular, Yusuke and Hiei. They "punched up" or "spiced up" their lines so much, that they became completely different characters in English whereas in Japanese, they are much more subdued.

botanbutton

They themselves enjoy watching anime in Japanese....

botanbutton

Truthfully ima huge fan of dub anime but also love sub anime … some anime feel different depending on if it’s subbed or dubbed .. so if I were you guys I would watch the first episode in dub and subbed and see which voices you prefer better and go from there … I watched AOT subbed as it came out then just watched it all in dubbed recently and certain scenes I felt more emotion and surprise from the subbed voices versus dubbed .. but the Dubbed AOT was really good as well

Dwayne Townsend

why not 2 episodes in dub and 2 episodes in sub

Raymond Mendoza

i actually enjoy dubbed one piece though there are some VAs on there that i couldn't care less for not because they aren't a good VA just not good for that specific character the same can be said for sub as well its all preference at the end of the day 🤷🏻‍♂️

Chris Whiddon

I think only DBZ dub is miles ahead of sub. All the other ones are either ok or bad (that I’ve seen)

Lemmiwnks

the idea of the poll was the worst idea u guys should decide which u you'll best understand the story at we here to watch ur reaction toward the stories not to relive our nostalgia coz we could easily watch the shows our selves if that was the case

Mesia William

CODE GEASS DUB

Joseph

Spot on.

stu

I almost always prefer sub but Black clovers dub IS really good

Hidden Finn shinobi

Fr! One punch man French dub is amazing, they should try it and come back to give us a piece of their mind.. not sure their arguments will stay the same

ao kaze

Many people here forgot that the followers on youtube and patreon are not only People from GB or USA. Many here never heard english dub or are used to it. So for a reaction channel, the best choice is always sub. Imagine a reactor watches in german dub with eng subtitles. How would most of you like this?

Animeter

Yes sir, I’ve seen a good little bit of Naruto in dub and the VA for Jiraiya/Kenpachi is magnificent. I like ikkakus VA too but I’ll refrain from mentioning his Naruto counterpart for now lol.

Roux

The thing is, in Japan they audition for their roles which is why they fit the role so much better. Like they do in Hollywood. Crunchyroll does not. I know many of their members and they are assigned roles and sometimes its roles they are not even enthusiastic about. Which is why the subs seem to have some more emotion behind them. Lets not even get into the whole woke thing which is another whole discussion.

Byakuran

Trigun must be Dub

Kazuma-Sensei

thank god ppl wants sub

Solan

I like both the dub and sub, but I prefer the sub.

Rebecca Van Straten

You guys are giving me a reason to watch this show now. Before I couldn’t get myself past episode 5 lol

Rja831

Since I'm not a English speaker I prefer sub. It's easier to understand when I'm reading. So If you guys are gonna watch dub please if possible put de subtitles on 🙏🏻

Vivian B P

Seems like I am a so called « arrogant and toxic sub-only with superiority complex  » … I'm a Senegalese, raised speaking French and I learned Spanish. While fluent in English (with always room for improvement), I've watched anime in three of these languages, as well as the original versions in Japanese, Chinese, or Korean (subbed). Each time, I've found the original version superior. It's not that foreign voice actors aren't good enough, but every language carries its own richness of culture and nuances that can't be fully translated. And that's not even considering interpretation. Regarding subtitles versus dubbing, I believe there's no need to enforce either. Let Rice and Ginger choose how they want to experience it.

ao kaze

Honestly all this will do is bring out the toxic sub-only people that will go as far as to verbally assault others because it's either sub or nothing with certain people. Sad, because dub can be quite good for some anime (not all obviously)

Kevin

Honestly the sub or dub poll is a bad Idea, the sub vs dub debate is hands down the most toxic thing in the anime community. It does nothing but bring up a pointless argument, and make humanity as a whole look like trash. I understand that you want to give everyone a chance to vote, I really enjoy this channel and want you to succeed. I'm subscribed to other reaction channels, and let me tell you. One of the people I subscribed to who watched a lot of anime all sub, decided that they wanted to try an anime dub. Just to see if they would like it now. Because it had been years since they last tried dubbed anime, they ended up liking the anime. And decided to continue the reaction in dub, they lost half of his subscribers within a week. I watch both sub and dub, I grew up on dub because I couldn't read and keep up with the anime when I was younger. I do very much love and respect the English VAs, and today when an anime releases. I will start the sub if a dub releases for it I will go back and watch the dub, I found that I love doing that. Because I get to watch an anime 2 times and get a slightly different experience between the 2. As for me, if I'm watching a reaction from a creator. And I prefer the anime they are reacting to in dub. I simply pull up the reaction on my laptop and have the anime play in dub on my t.v. I find that most creators have their anime audio at a lower level. So that they can talk and still be heard, so it makes listening in dub easy. I do apologies about the long winded speech, it's just I really hate the sub vs dub debate. I think if you truly love anime, and want it to thrive. Then it doesn't matter what language someone watches it in, you should be thrilled that what you love is getting more recognition. That will lead to more popularity, that will lead to more of what you love.

TacticalFox31

Ayeeee? Omg aint no way they have to watch my fav show haha

LegendarySuperSaiyan

We can compare dub vs sub to Religion. There is no right or wrong, whatever you believe in thats fine. Lets respect the other persons belief. No need to put them down for it. That is all.

LegendarySuperSaiyan

why are we polling sub and dub? i was like wtf? not this chanel please !!! but sub won over dub... sooo happy

Alex

im talking about dubbed anime, idk where your getting childhood cartoons from. What strawmans? You sure like to call things lame but when its on you its a problem?

hockeyplaya1155

Sorry buddy just telling it like it is. It's not an insult, its just the truth. And it's not a personal attack. its a general statement. Where as you saying: "Is your English comprehension not as good as you think" is a personal attack. See the difference? from personal and objective? Maybe you should stop having a superiority complex if you took it personal. If you didn't have one you would've just ignored it because it wasn't directed at anyone in particular. Claiming im toxic but your the one coming off as toxic.

hockeyplaya1155

@hockeyplaya1155 childhood cartoons with the same VAs... also stop using strawmans & liking your own comments, those two things are objectively cringe

klairvoyage

As you can see, so many dub supporters have this victim mentality and throwing insults. Find me one comment from sub watchers that attacks dub watchers personally, like some dub supporters have been doing. So I strongly suggest Ron & Michelle don't ever do this kind of poll, you are just inviting negativity. Read through all the comments and you will see who are the toxic ones, its clear as light and day.

Damien Lee

Sub watchers: Dub is not good (Talking about the anime) You: "Sub watchers have this weird superiority complex" (Insulting about the watcher) See the difference? Or is your English comprehension not as good as you think? Get off your own made believe toxic high horse

Damien Lee

Looking forward to seen ye react to black clover such a great anime

The One-Eyed Ghoul

I've watched Bleach in dub too. Bleach is known for having a great dub just like Naruto but people lean toward the sub for both shows and pretty much most anime in general. Everyone has their preferences

Kayso

k

hockeyplaya1155

not sure what your even saying here, Didnt even watch anime when i was a child except dragon ball. Its the fact I understand the emotion in the language when spoken. Unlike hearing it in a language i dont understand and everything is blurred. I dont think its alleviating the pain its just making it worse lol. lame, corny think what you want. Same back to you. May not be everyone here but I'd bet there's a majority as were all using English as a medium to communicate, English speakers enjoying a language they dont understand is corny to me and that just my opinion. And People who Say the story is completely different are wrong for most anime. The story for the most part is always told the same and you get the same out of it. Besides maybe a few descriptive words, its relatively the exact same. I dont know about One Pieces, but i wouldn't Wish watching One Piece on my worst enemy. I could watch Game of Thrones 4 times over before finishing One Piece 1000 episodes.

hockeyplaya1155

Sub is always gonna win in polls even if its fullmetal

Jorginho

iont even care about dub vs sub that much, but this was such a lame comment to make and also as you yourself said "as an English speaker" you fw it, which is not everybody here & without the familiarity of those English VAs from your childhood etc, it just sounds corny to those people... and btw that is because anime as a medium is cringe, not dub or sub, and hearing it in a language you don't know just helps alleviate that pain. and before you say it, these are for sure a whole lotta paragraphs for someone who apparently doesn't care yada yada yada

klairvoyage

The reason people are passionate about the sub is because it is generally speaking always way better. The story telling just does not hit the same with sub often times. So they want others to have a great experience. Watching one Piece in dub for instance ruins the whole Story. It is horrible in comparison... I would not wish someone having to watch dub upon my worst Enemy

Gjermund Norum Bugge

this is true and if it was youtube only i would agree but on patreon they are catering to a paying audience. If the majority of paying consumers would prefer one over the other then its smart for them to go with a poll

Tyler Lacy

dub hits diff, icl peakington of anime va

Thanash Lee

I think each show shouldve had it’s own poll for sub/dub

EA

Watching something in original language as intended is always best. Even if dub is good, authors idea of emotion is hard to translate.

Nuvaa

Personal attacks? lmao ok, I guess I was spot on. You Self reported LOL

hockeyplaya1155

Look! Another toxic guy with personal attacks on sub watchers

Damien Lee

All im saying is both versions, its a scream fest on Astas (MC) part. The dub VA screaming is like a cat being strangled. Id be probably go with sub purely cause of that. 3 episodes back to back and I was getting a headache from the horrible screeching voice on the dub. Although sub screeching is not much better. Depends what pitch of horrible screech you can handle better. The other characters are a mix of which are preferable. Theres a character called Yami who is a captain of one of the teams and I like his VA for dub although I mostly watch subs for all stuff.

Davis

i don't recognize them either, and not cause i am trying to focus on reading i just don't hear them like big names that are more recognizable in dub. i always watch both dub and sub usually dubbed first but if sub is the only one released before dub then i will watch in sub first. but i typically prefer dubbed alot of the time cause i prefer the english voices for characters more. like All Might for dubbed as much as the sub All Might is really good it just doesnt compare to Chris Sabat as All Might. especially if the main character has a really annoying high pitched voice like Goku and Inuyasha in subbed omg i cant stand them. and as much as Yami's subbed voice is really good i like it, it just isn't as good as Chris voice for Yami

SkyesRain

what are you talking about? it is definitely not the same for sub, it is much easier to recognize dubbed voices over subbed voices. and i can't tell you a single legendary japanese voice actor for subbed compared to dub voices because it is not the same

SkyesRain

Like someone said, DBZ dub is non negotiable. Only other anime I’ve watched in dub was Bleach. I liked the dub for it but I may be partial to it since that’s what I first watched it in.

Roux

The only dub(s) that is non negotiable is DBZ

Brandocommando

Sorry for the random question but will yall be watching the new My Hero Academia season next week?

Sasha

I usually am a dub enjoyer, but the Black Clover VA's just didn't do it for me. I would be fine with some of the other anime's though. Some of the more complicated to follow ones that have interconnecting storylines. Dub and Sub both have their own charms so I'll be watching either way.

CallmePadre7

To me Dub is more enjoyable as English speaker. I dont want to stare at the screen reading the whole time. Look away for a second and rewind, impossible to multitask with subbed anime. Dubbed voice actors are great and you are able to tell who they are from other animes without guessing or googling as English speaker. English speaking Sub enjoyers claim they can tell who it is but I'd bet a million dollars they always have to google it. Not to mention Sub watchers have this weird superiority complex over reading subbed anime, like it matters. To me alot of dubbed voice actors sound better.

hockeyplaya1155

if you are english speaker and like reading sub idk what is more cringe

hockeyplaya1155

i don't hate all dubs (some i do), i just prefer all subs

DB Cooper

lets also poll sub vs dub on fma :)

DB Cooper

Only thing with sub is the mcs voice is fucking annoying af for the first like 15 episodes then he reals it in

Jordy_EMS

Am I the only one that doesn't actually speak english or japanese natively? Seeing a lot of people argue Dub vs Sub and so many arguments that I just can't relate lol. There's only 2 things that really matter in either Dub or Sub. The performance of the VAs and the capacity to understand and follow along of the viewer. If the understanding of the viewer through subs is deemed acceptable by the viewer for what they would consider a better performance. More power to them. In my case, regardless of language, I always have subtitles ON anyway. Most of the time I prefer Subs. It doesn't mean that Dubs are horrible. I could go in a lot more detail about my own opinions but, let's be real. I ain't going to change any minds for either the Subs elitist or the Dubs apologist. And I believe most of us are decently balanced individuals, but there's just so few of us willing to write. 🤣

Kee

Which is my point exactly. You don't see sub watchers going for personal attacks like the dub watchers did. Sub watchers simply say dub is no good, and thats their preference for whatever reasons. And then you see the dub watchers do personal attacks on sub watchers, calling them names. The pure toxicity of some of these dub watchers makes me hope no dubs ever get featured

Damien Lee

@Dale Diaz Observably false? Your own comment in this very thread was literally just weird hate thrown at people who prefer and vote for subs lol

Michael H

Not gonna lie putting this poll was a one sided win yall should just try out both to see because people have preferences🤷‍♂️

_Kiing

I dont hate all dub speak for yourself

_Kiing

Those two are def the best, but there were some good ones too, Asta as well

Antonio Ricardo

Idk people who genuinely love dub state their reasons and why (if it’s good) they connect with it better. They probably just resort to those comments because theres many people who are like that and will hate a dub every time even if it’s good. Death Note dub is probably the best dub of all time and there’s was still a majority saying sub because so many people just reject dub at face value

Antonio Ricardo

As someone who is a translator I always prefer sub (it’s my job 😂) but I think dubs can also really be fantastic. Cowboy bebop for example. So I don’t really care what people watch, it all comes down to preference. Things will naturally get changed in localization regardless

Cosmic Gorilla

It’s not that bad homie

Antonio Ricardo

Agreed 100%

Antonio Ricardo

DEATHNOTE was one that had to be dub 8(

Rene Salgado

BELIEVE IT! XD

Yumaaa

I watched dub first then sub. While the dub IS good. I still prefer sub slightly.

Yumaaa

Probably you guys have receive messages from dub because sub people don't need to, but sub will almost always be a majority

Tomii

Duh horrible

Ahkenaton Furdge

Yep we feel u

Ron Jackson Jr

7 likes from me so far

Ron Jackson Jr

I think I first watched in the dub and remember liking it a lot! Wish more people enjoyed it haha I also like being able to eat while watching/ take my eyes off the screen if I need to for a second and not miss anything. But that’s just a preference of mine. I actually watch most anime in sub but if there’s a quality dub I usually give it a shot.

Heather

Omg, no xD

Rui Duarte

I hate dub in all animes, i think 99% of anime lovers, would say the same. You should listen Dub Naruto speaking for example, soo cringe xD

Rui Duarte

Yes Bleach will replace Shippuden.

Yumaaa

We all do :D

Yumaaa

when u guys watch full metal alchemist dub is the choice

Ron Jackson Jr

Asking the anime community for dub vs sub? We already knew how this was ending even if the dub is better......

KeenEye

That's just a plain Lie XD

Yumaaa

default is the best

A

Yeah Naruto dub has some great one liners

Secretly

Yall some weird cry baby’s bro yall need to grow up grown ass men in here commenting about people not learning a language and watching sub over sub or not learning a language dude get a life my god

Daniel

It’s not really about the voice actors, but more about how the subs were translated.

adan blas

If you actually read the comments, the sub watchers actually just stated their preferences, only going as far as saying dub is not as good, being objective to the subject, which is the anime itself. But the dub comments outright called the other group elitist, fanatics, weirdos, etc, going straight for personal attacks, lmao. Guess who are the toxic ones?

Damien Lee

Meanwhile, the dub loving person is the one being extremely toxic one here, so... A slap on your own face? Good job!

Damien Lee

ok cool. i mean i wrote "one of the" for a reason.

Jasper Tan

@Hussaw Maybe it got more praise than I realized. I tried it once and wasn’t a fan at all, and I’ve never seen it brought up with those others in conversation, but maybe I’m wrong. Personally speaking, however, I still think it’s a wild take. As far as “arguable” goes, of course you can say that about every anime. If there was an objective answer to the topic, nobody would be arguing in the comments right now.

Michael H

Bleach Dub aint bad

Ryan

We should get married 🎉

Mochii

Sub all the way so they can get their eardrum blown by asta.. lol

Kinglaive

Ok I tried to look it up and all I saw was a fox news article. If that's where you are reading it, it's BS that's slanted to their view point. Give me an example please.

Phil K

I watched the whole show in dub. IMO the only good VAs were Yami and the wizard king so

Gambit

haha i watched this in sub never seen in dub, i like your attitude

Kage Uzumaki

I chose dub but wouldn’t be upset if sub won. This anime is very good in both, an unpopular opinion is that Spanish also slays for this and Solo Leveling lmao

Chayanne Acosta

I dont recognize japanese voices as easily as I do english ones because im so focused on reading instead of just listening. That being said I always watch sub cause dub cringes me out majority of the time it doesnt feel natural.

Bst22

Main character va is from fire force shinra

jiwon330

just because you dont know the language doesn’t mean you can’t hear their emotions 🤦 it can get exaggerated sometimes but it still beats how most dubs just sound so soulless and dull.

J

true but even then i think sub is better. its my fav show in dub yet still sub wins

Noah

only anime that needs to be watched in dub is dbz i could not get into it sub because goku sounds like a toddler

J

Okay then poll losers

Mochii

I guess you're saying someone who reads slow/regular speed is synonymous with not being a good reader which isn't necessarily true. Some people just read faster than others. It has nothing to do with not being a good reader, this simply just comes with dealing with sub. Like I said numerous of reactors I've witnessed who obviously can read who've been on YouTube for a very long time who normally watch sub, sometimes will miss something and have to rewind because subtitles for a fact can go too fast. Even Ron and Michelle rewind and its nothing wrong with that. That's like saying reactors are bad readers because they can't give out their thoughts while watching. It's a reason Ron and Michelle pause the show to talk and give their thoughts, so they don't miss anything. And at times you can't distinguish people's voices especially if its two high pitched female Japanese VA's they usually sound the same. And idk anyone who can read two or more sentences at the exact same time without having to pause

Kayso

Facts. I prefer sub myself, but I'll be watching regardless of what they pick

Steadi

oh sweet someone replied hi, cuz i can duh

Kage Uzumaki

Why are you here then? There are other reactors prefer dub.

Mochii

sub people always winning this sucks

Kage Uzumaki

But you are not supposed to understand Japanese if you’re watching in subs …

Rawaby 1204

Lmao dub is ass

BD

@Michael H but you cant say that about every anime can you. There's a lot of animes were the dub has been awful, aot isn't one of them.

Hussaw

@Michael H many people have said that the dub was on par or even better and many have also said sub is better. Once again, why i said arguably

Hussaw

This one’s an easy sub for sure

Isaac D Hernandez

Wrong, you should Google the recent news about the dub versions of anime literally going woke with the language, and completely changing the lines

Damien Lee

This is observably false. You can see in this comment chain alone all the sub proponents are off the freaking perc

Dale Diaz

If there’s one anime you should’ve watched in dub it was Naruto

Secretly

Never dub. Thank god the poll saved us. ✌️

Michael

For dragon ball you gotta watch it in dub sub is good as well but the dub is way better especially when the fight scenes go on

Kolvex

What are you talking about? Thats the same with sub 🤣🤣🤣

Gregoor yyy

i always prefer dub, i find that voices are just better cause they are more noticeable of well known voice actors. like Chris Sabat voice of Vegeta who also voices Yami in Black Clover, as well as All Might and Zoro, like how can you not watch dub with such a legendary voice like that.

SkyesRain

Thank god not dub

Thomas Reinhardt

where does your "people dont know what they want" come from ? obviously they know it, they want subs, you said it yourself. if you disagree, fine, but dont asspull some nonsense without backup

Rockycitygirl

based

yungblood

So I take it seriously but your the one under my comment being extra about my opinion. So no you take a chill pill cus your really stretching this more than it needs to be just looks bad so stop😇.

sandust

@michael i agree on that one, translation will always be a problem, no matter if dub or sub

Rockycitygirl

Amen 🙏

LeNiarfe

maybe because most of the people dont agree with you ? obviously they can do what they want, as i said already, but also nobody stops them from having new experiences. its not like they never watch anything in private and if they truly enjoy dubs, bring it on and try it out. take a chill, you seem to take this pretty serious :)

Rockycitygirl

Well alot of people keep spamming about the dub version so I get why they want to see how big their dub audience is

Paper

I don’t blame you 😂

LeNiarfe

I don’t have enough motivation to watch specific anime on my own. But when I watch it through reaction it gives me the feeling that I’m not watching it by myself. My friends dont watch anime so its a nice feeling.

Paper

I ain’t reading Allat 🙏

Dennis Wålberg

It took me a while to watch in sub. I was against it back then. But now i cant stop watching anime in sub. Its because its more hype. Unless everyone says its better in dub like i have heard for naruto, death note, and dragon ball z. But black clover is a must for sub because of asta

Marco Garcia

if you prefer dubs its fine michael. but dont bring some dumb comments, everyone can consume media the way he wants but dont tell me dub va's are even close to the original ones. just because you cant or want read its not worse for people that can :) by your logic bands shouldn produce music videos or go on live concerts, all you need is to hear the music, watching the band playing live is distracting from the music.

Rockycitygirl

The only dub that is actually better than sub is Ghost Stories. I'll die on that hill.

Alex

RIP

Aiden352

Sub, trust me, you really need to hear the original Asta VA, it's needed for the true Black Clover experience. I'm general, sub will work out better than dub, as with dub they have to sometimes form strange sentences to fit with mouth movements that have shorter or longer duration. It often messes with dialogue. There's a few dubs that are decent alternatives, like Edgerunners, and 1 dub above all others, Ghost Stories. There's actually no reason to watch the Ghost Stories sub at all, the dub is supreme and completely revamps the dialogue.

Alex

@michael what even ? obviously because they movie in your cinema isnt in a foreign language ? whats your point @kayso if you find them annoying, or have to back numerous times, you are probably not as good of a reader as you think, sorry ) and if you really have problems with distinguishin different peoples voices at a conversation or are bad a multitasking, sure then watch the dub, why not. it exists for a reason, some people like or even need it.

Rockycitygirl

If you watch anime in cinema there are subtitles

Animeter

Well I been watching hxh along with them, on a tv screen of course so it’s not tiny for me

rami

After watching your reaction the other day to pain dub I would say just do dub since you both enjoyed that idea of being able to focus more on the details and what's taking place. I end up watching sub because I watch shows as they release and don't want to wait. But beyond that the only other reason to watch sub is because you're a purest and want to be able to say you watched it in sub, which doesn't even mean anything because it's just a translation of a different language through a lot of times very american people that don't always get the context 100% correct anyhow. Just watch it and enjoy it how you prefer and not how a group of people want to vicariously relive their anime experience through you two

Boggie

I mean thats the purpose of SUBTITLE lol

Mochii

Same. My first language is Spanish. I don’t have an issue reading, again thats why I watch most of my anime in Sub, but there ain’t denying that there are some rare occasions where the Dub is better than the sub. I enjoy those very much.

LeNiarfe

Funny statement, because most hate here comes from the dub watchers. And it's not that the sub watchers never watching in dub. I personally give every dub a chance at least in my second time watching a show. But in over 90% i'm switching back to sub, because it's so much better, imo. And most of the "sub watchers", doing it the same or a similar way.

Animeter

Maybe the reason is that we grew up in different places. In Asia, there are usually subtitles, even when Japanese people watch anime. As for you saying that dub is more convenient for English users because there is no need for subtitles, I completely agree with this. That is why I voted for dub, and they are still relatively new to anime. But this is not a reason for dub to surpass sub. It can only be said that it is more convenient. The following are two points why I think sub is better. 1) There are honorifics in Japanese. Japanese honorifics are expressions of respect in Japanese. They are used to express the social relationship between the speaker, the person speaking, and the characters in the words. Relationships such as class, intimacy, etc. And this does not exist in English grammar. 2) There are characters in FMAB's sub who use different accents and regional dialects to distinguish where they come from. For example, May and Ling will feel like they are Chinese speaking Japanese. In fact, both dub and sub are very good, and their difference is only Depending on the details, I would give sub 10/10 and dub 9.5/10. What I don’t understand the most is why many dub lovers like to disparage sub. A good anime can become a masterpiece that everyone knows, Japanese VA plays a big role in it. Why not love both?

Kevin Lee

Is funny cuz is always the Sub diehards that have an issue. While we don’t care if it’s on Dub or Sub. I say they enjoy the show and watch it how they wanna watch it. I honestly prefer the Dub for Black Clover and few other rare anime’s and I mostly watch most of my anime in Sub. It’s crazy to me that people wouldn’t watch if they watch it in Dub, just cuz they are Sub diehards and will die in their hill for it. I just watch them to enjoy the show Sub or Dub, we honestly don’t care. 🤷🏻‍♂️ So I agree in not putting polls for this type of things, cuz Sub will always win cuz of the amount of people that don’t care for the Dub, even if it’s good, better or not.

LeNiarfe

I enjoy both dub and sub (and actually voted dub for this one), but I actually have the opposite perception of you on these polls. Without fail, many people who like dub immediately call all subbers elitists or feign persecution over being outvoted. Coming from someone who does enjoy some dubs, the chip on the shoulder is very real.

Michael H

I have no problem paying attention to the visuals and reading subtitles and eng sub aren't even my first language.

Animeter

Facts

Kayso

I feel sorry for those butthurt people who lost in a poll

Mochii

I agree, that’s what I love when an anime’s Dub version is better. I can watch without being distracted. I started watching Anime only in Dub, then I started watching only on Sub, just cuz I like listening to it in the original language, so yeah I find myself missing a lot. I go back to my favorite anime, Steins Gate. I watched it in Dub and it got me in the feels so hard. Then I rewatched it in Japanese and it didn’t hit me as much. You are able to connect to it so much better by watching in Dub, just cuz it’s the language you already speak and understand. Subtitles are distracting and inaccurate for the most part. Not saying that Dub is accurate to what the writer intended, but it’s is way better than missing visuals information. Some times the subs go so damn fast too. But yeah. I enjoy both ways, Sub or Dub, but Dub is so much enjoyable to me, I just wish all anime’s would have good dub versions. Congrats on the streak btw! I gave up on Duolingo long ago sadly, was getting so good lol life got too busy sadly.

LeNiarfe

Says the slow reader... dude media should be consume in their original form, there's no discussion. Maybe for you its hard but for the majority its easy. Dont give up slow head, you will achieve reading a little faster when your brain develops more

JetLife2TheNextLife

This dub vs sub thing is annoying just watch it lol

LegendarySuperSaiyan

I could do that, but since it is not a thing I'm interested in (since I haven't heard anything about it that has caught my attention), I only thought of watching the first episodes now that they are watching it (watching it with them might make it more enjoyable) and if it picks my interest in those first episodes, I'll continue watching it with them. I think watching reactors is a great way to get to know things you wouldn't normally watch by yourself.

RPMizu

Even though many have said the DUB is good too, I still prefer the SUB and to watch shows in their original language.

Phyllis

I agree. I watch all my anime in Sub, but whenever there is that one rare Dub anime, I enjoy it so much more. Steins Gate is my favorite anime of all time, I watched it in Dub and I cried so much because it touched me, then I watched it in Sub and absolutely did nothing to me haha so I get what you mean!

LeNiarfe

The moment I saw this poll I knew where this was going One suggestion I recommend is not putting a poll out like this because most people take it up the ass if someone says they want it sub or vice versa personally I don’t really care what y’all choose to watch it in because I’ll still be watching y’all:)

Shaide

I think the best anime to watch dub is FMA Brotherhood, outside of that sub all the way

Phearith Mao

But its WHAT THE WRITERS INTENDED. That's my point. "what the writers intend" vs "what is optimally enjoyable" are not a perfect overlap for everyone everywhere. I'm on a 226 day japanese duolingo streak for the record, and I still GENERALLY prefer dub for the reason that i can engage more of my brain in the act of watching it. Watching sub when you can't understand spoken japanese, you just lose information, plain and simple. You either miss what's written because something cool is happening on screen or you miss something that's happening because you're trying to read. I'm going hard until i can actually listen to whats being said, and at that point i'll probably prefer sub, but idk! we'll see

Dale Diaz

Mochii, I don't care if you or them like to watch anime in sub. I really don't. But I just know these polls always turn into tribe wars.

Maks Lesniewski

Well some of us are dyslexic and reading is a challenge and a fast pace, i read all the mangas but at my pace. But dub i feel dub is just easier to fallow imo,but i dont care how they do it,ill still watch.

DMONEY420

I'm so glad sub is winning. I was going to give Black Clover a try with you guys, but I couldn't do it if it was in dub

RPMizu

To be absolutely correct you mean. But its okay little boy, let the real one enjoy art the right way

JetLife2TheNextLife

Most sub fanatics don’t even understand Japanese besides a few words so the debate is somewhat pointless. For me I enjoy hearing something in my own language, I connect to it more

Vader

@Rockcitygirl you cant just narrow it down to that reason alone of they are bad/slow readers. I'm a fast reader and still find sub annoying. I've seen numerous reactors including Rice & Ginger who are clearly know how to read and are fast readers tens to miss the subtitles as they go to fast and have to pause/go back. I've seen a lot of reactors do that and that's what's annoying about sub. Ron even mentioned in the Pain speech dub post of the obvious advantage of watching in dub. You can watch and know whats being said + seeing all the visuals as you don't have to constantly look down the read. Then it can be two characters talking at the same time and two different sentences show up which is hard to catch. Also some people are just bad at multitasking so dub is the way to go for them

Kayso

Maybe cuz they are too lazy to learn a whole new language? lol Trust me, at one point on my life the goal was to learn Japanese and watch anime with absolutely no Subtitles lol I watch all my anime in Sub, so whenever there is an anime that the dub is good, it’s such a treat for me, because I love paying attention to the visuals.

LeNiarfe

Doing what? Telling you you have no taste just because you enjoy a show in a slightly different format?

Maks Lesniewski

Who are you to demand never to vote? Are you the only one paying here? If you dont like it go cry in the corner. Do it in dub if you like

Mochii

It's INTENDED to be watched with a comprehensive understanding of the japanese language, so why aren't the die hards learning japanese? lol

Dale Diaz

I think Vivi needs to issue the order to blow up the Sub palace

ZomBe Creative

I mean you're doing the exact thing you're accusing them of here. I find it's more like keyboard vs controller on fps games. They each have advantages and disadvantages. Dub often has c-list talents trying their best who miss the tone alot or don't understand something about the scene. Sub is way easier to process and watch as a secondary activity and pay attention to action scenes and such. A lot of the time the English va is spot on and the actor is nailing it and it's just fine so nothing is 100%. But as I see it you're kinda gambling on a sub being decent and it sucks to be 5 episodes and decide to switch over and then wonder if you weren't getting the tone in a bunch of scenes etc.. Where as the Japanese va is never going to be "incorrect" for the show. That said the whole sub vs dub elitism in either direction is dumb.

Revant 1

@Rockcitygirl you're right, guess I'll keep it as "imo" because there will be people who favor sub no matter what. I see you're on the side of sub but I at least respect that fact that you say those shows have good dub. There are people who will dismiss dubs no matter what, say they are all bad, say sub is better even when the dub of that show is superior/just as good, those people are just sub elitists. Not saying you are ofc but there are people like that unfortunately

Kayso

asta's va is p rough in both for a while so.. sub for me. don't think the dub is bad by any means tho

Katrina Dy

For me I find the English va's just lack enthusiasm and understanding of the tone of a lot of scenes. It's super painful when the English va is clearly missing the vibe in a scene. Also often the Japanese va's are professionals that specialize in anime va and understand the material better both culturally and story/pacing wise. While the English va's are c list people got for the lowest bid (outside of big stuff like certain films) doing their best but obviously struggling.

Revant 1

I get y’all want the community to decide on how y’all watch it, but! The issue with putting a poll for Sub or Dub is that this has been a great argument within the anime community lol There are some hardcore diehards for watching anime in Sub and they will die on that hill. And I get it, I’m all in for watching something as it was intended, but people take it to heart lol They don’t care if the Dub version is better than the Sub, again they will die on that hill. So putting a poll is an automatic win for Sub, just because of that. With that being said, there are very rare anime’s out there that the Dub version is better than the Sub and I believe Black Clover is one of those. Now I don’t mind the sub for black clover, I watched it both ways and both are good, but I still believe the Dub is better. The Sub diehards won’t agree 😂 This is the same argument as it is for “Console or PC” “Which console is better” “IPhone or Android” Dub or Sub falls in those types of arguments lol So I recommend you guys watch it how you feel you should watch it. I honestly think this anime is better in Dub, but we all don’t mind if you watch it in Sub. The only people that will care is those Sub Diehards 😂 So forget the poll, watch it your way, again, it is very rare for a Dub to be better than the Sub, so if any one tells you that the Dub is better than the Sub, y’all should consider it cuz it’s a rare thing in anime. But yeah, y’all watch it the way you wanna watch it! I’m just happy to be here! 😁 (Note: I watch all my anime in Sub, unless I heard Dub is better. Please don’t come after me Sub Diehards 🥲)

LeNiarfe

First off I'm sure they get permission to change if they do. Otherwise the rights to do the dub would be pulled from the company. Second, I've never seen something changed that really mattered. Also, I watched AOT in dub and there were like 2 parts that were laugh out loud funny to me by Hange. When I watched the sub reaction they didn't even get a smirk and I didn't find it funny at all. The chance was slight word play, but enough that it was funnier since they speak our language and get what we would find funny. Just my opinion.

Phil K

Same. The fanaticism is wild. Most people that are hardcore sub are just that way because they grew up weebs who wanted to live in japan, never bothered to learn japanese themselves, and never tried to watch dub anime because their friends are also fanatic weebs. It's a degree of obsession that extends far beyond the realm of reason or justification, especially for reactt content, when the videos that R+G put out would almost objectively be better due to less mental strain. People would rather have worse content for the sake of making sure everyone enjoys anime "the right way" (meanwhile they all read manga in english for some reason HMM)

Dale Diaz

its better 100%

Hyūga

The fact you brought up offline and online just sounds bad also like why cant they experience dub with us like it's coming off as if you are being over bearing of the fact that you watch sub it's giving that type of energy and It doesn't look good. There's no need for them to go experience it by themselves and come back to us they can do how they have done it the way they want too.

sandust

Yah like I want something new they even told us people want dub for once to the point rice and ginger are talking about it a lot more in videos

sandust

Please never do a vote on this again. If you wanna do a show in sub, do it in sub. Just don't enable this avalanche of sub elitists who make people like me, who enjoy dub feel like subhuman trash.

Maks Lesniewski

I'm not stupid I understand what the polls are for no explanation needed, but it seems you don't understand what I am saying people in business and there jobs take risk over the majorities satisfaction to try something new. We as the community do control there business but at only a certain level as they have the ability and right to make decisions on what they want when ever. I just made an suggestive opinion for them to see and people ran into my comments to shut me down like I was gonna start a fire let me have my opinion and you have yours. I want them to try something new you want them to listen to the majority end of Story👋.

sandust

Change your name. I live in the REAL rocket city. #HuntsvilleGang

WhitePeopleDrank

I believe that the issues with having polls is most people are diehard sub/original VA. So almost all the time sub will win. They don’t care if the dub version is better than the original, they will watch sub to the grave lmfao Its a debate that has gone forever. It is very rare to have a anime’s dub version be better than the OG. Black Clover is among those in my opinion, but people will die in their hill haha I don’t mind the sub, I only watch anime in sub, unless I was advised to watch it in dub. But to your comment, I believe having no poll is the only way that dub will have a chance lol Putting up a poll is an automatic win to the Sub.

LeNiarfe

but makes the majority 🤣🤣

Bruno Silva Htk

well, of course you dont get what you want if you start a poll, its about what the majority wants, clearly. this isnt just some hobby, its alot of time and work, even tho im sure they have alot of fun doing it, so obviously they try to make the majority happy. if you want to truly experience something new, try it "offline" nobody prevents that and if you really like it, then you can try bring it online. whats the point of forcing a dub, while 90% of people would start complaining in the comments, think about it. thats why they poll it

Rockycitygirl

Thank you so much for doing a poll on this. Thankfully I will be one of many who will get to enjoy these reactions as they will be in SUB. Thank you.

Killua X

Comment section is a war zone. lol As a SUB enjoyer, I voted DUB because, I don't think that there's that much a difference between SUB and DUB objectively for this show. So I figured we could take one for the team and let the DUB enjoyer get a W for once. Cause you can probably count on 1 hand the anime that most people would chose DUB over SUB. So every now and then watching a show with good DUB in DUB would be nice.

Kee

mostly because they tend to change important lines when making the dub, therefore changing important plot points and thats anoying because it's not their work to mess with

Bruno Silva Htk

It’s very rare when the dub version of an anime is better than the original VA. I think this is one of those anime’s in my opinion, but I don’t mind the sub.

LeNiarfe

Team Sub! One reason I'm not too big a fan of Dub, is not the voices, per se, but rather the translations. There are often inconsistencies in translation, especially if you were to do Dub w/ subtitles, then the inconsistencies are even more apparent. I also use subtitles when watching anything in English because there are always the occasional garbled words that need some clarity. IMO, Japanese tends to be much more adept in VA, and as I understand that some English VAs can be great... Most of us are probably attached to the Japanese voices tied to these characters. ALSO, it's fun to recognize a VA and to find out what else they've done. Nonetheless, no matter your choice, I look forward to rewatching the series with you guys.

Looey Teung

for real, sub all the way 💪

Bruno Silva Htk

thanks for caring for me

Rockycitygirl

you mean reading instead of watching i guess :D but as i said in another comment already, people who dislike subs are bad/slow readers (no offense) i never had a problem with missing stuff while watching with subs, but i agree that some people need more time to get into it and miss certain stuff every now and then. but if you get to the point where you can read at a comfortable speed level you will have an even better experience. of course in the end its up to you if you watch dub or sub

Rockycitygirl

I’m not a native english speaker so maybe it play a big role, but no, all of these dubs are inferior

a_u_i_o

I feel sorry for those of you who ‘think’ sub is better

Dragon_Max

Also to add on I am not a one side or other side person I like sub and dub

sandust

Yah no you chill cuz that means you didnt understand that the person I responded to gave a response like people who care so much if it's not subbed so I said chill so you can calm down too. Sometimes you gotta make your own decisions and if you keep going for majority votes you won't get to experience something new all the votes point to 70% or more of this community wants subbed while a minority says dub is good also Ron wants to experience it and he says it would be easier for him so I want whats best for him but it seems the community doesn't want him to.

sandust

Sub fanatics that have no idea what the dub for an anime even sounds like because they've never seen it and would probably end up enjoying the reaction more if the creators reacted to something in dub. I've seen it on other channels, reactor had better reactions, missed less, even said she enjoyed AOT more in dub because she could take in the imagery more, but got bullied back into sub because people don't know what they want, it's just blind fanaticism

Dale Diaz

thats the point, its your own opinion as you say. in my opinion the sub is still better, even tho those shows have a good dub. you cant say "imo" and then end with "no debate" thats crazy.

Rockycitygirl

Polls show what most people want, and most people want sub. Even those who do the spiteful vote still prefer sub over dub, so not sure why you find that annoying. That being said, Cowboy Bebop should just default be dub; FMAB is good either way. In my opinion, of course.

Michael H

True

Dragon_Max

Same. I see all the time with people (even rice and ginger) who miss key things because they are watching instead of reading.

Phil K

Lol there are plenty of objective measures to voice acting performances. As there are in all forms of art, if you understand it well enough. The original audio sources are almost always better for anime because they have a much higher budget. The Japanese dedicated voice-acting scene is also exponentially bigger and more popular than it is for Western animation. I could go on but I'm tired of typing

Ziggy Stardust

Yeah I can never understand preferring it to sub

Rawaby 1204

@Phil K It’s always going to be subjective in the end. It’s just a fact that Japanese VAs have more rigorous training since it’s a much bigger deal over there, hence why it often sounds better in sub.

Michael H

There is a anime i prefer dub over sub tho actually :) ghost stories :)

Dark_SinTeX

Then why does their voice always sound the same? Like if 1 Japanese VA does 3 people from 3 shows, it always sounds the same. There are some english VAs like that too, but there are a lot of really talented engish VAs that it's like wow. This character doesn't sound even remotely like their other ones. It makes the Japanese VAs sound lazy to me.

Phil K

sub is better but astas VA is annoying but he gets better later on

YoItsNiko

@Hussaw You could literally say that about any anime then lol. I’ve never once heard somebody say the AoT dub is better than the sub. It’s just wild to me that you would even put it in the conversation.

Michael H

whats wrong about asking the community ? or doing it they way the mojority prefers ? also you should try to chill maybe, nobody attacked you in any form

Rockycitygirl

Yah like that's why I believe they need to just do one with no pole cuz its way to baised I am both sub and dub watcher.

sandust

That’s crazy, we need more dub anime 😭

AB

Glad you mentioned Bleach I think you're the only one. Everyone keeps saying FMAB/DBZ has good dub but no one mentioning bleach. Bleach has a great dub, doubt they're gonna watch it dub they might go with sub

Kayso

@Aol but these shows always losing the dub polls. I tried watching naruto and fmab in eng dub. It is good ngl, but not even close at the same level as the sub version. Dragonball is only because of Goku's VA, but the rest is just way better in sub.

Animeter

I remember them saying they will eventually get to Bleach. Can't wait

Kayso

Well atleast dub lost fair and square

Ace

Dub is better so u can watch and hear so its a better experience imo but w/e.

DMONEY420

I watched DB-Z and super in Dub but also did sub and did the same with FMAB so yeah they are both good in either form just choose what you want. The sub and dub for DB in general are iconic cus most people started on DUB back in the day on toonami and eventually tried the sub and fell in love with both. Masako Nozawa who voices Goku in sub is such an amazing VA who has been doing it since 1986 and she is currently 87 she is a national treasure. Also if you watch sub you will also hear Luffys voice actor who i won't give away which character they are.

Whoopsie

what kinda comment is that ? a poll is made exactly for that reason, to tell others what you want and see how many of that people want it

Rockycitygirl

Yeah, but you can say that about a lot of different characters in both sub and dubbed. Usually you just tolerate or get used to it , especially if the character develops favorably.

Esteban Padilla

@Michael H hence why I said arguably...

Hussaw

My golden rule. First time watching an anime. Always go with sub. If the anime is worth rewatching than most of time I try ger dub or eng dub. But in 95% I'm switching back to sub after few episodes.

Animeter

It’s nuts but pretty funny. The dub just lands better with the comedic timing, slang, and accents.

Michael H

it is objectively better it’s written in Japanese and made for that language the dub doesn’t get across the same nuances as the language it’s written in. It’s the same for movies.

John H

Love it! Will y'all ever react to Bleach? Maybe post Shippuden? Y'all are awesome thanks for the content as always

taymone

Tell me your taking what I said wrong without telling me. They should experience dub and I gave 2 anime that have good ones chill out.

sandust

Agree on Cowboy Bebop. Haven't seen Prison School, may have to check it out

GeezMuhKnees

Everyone talking about Astas voice are dragging it his voice is annoying for maybe like 2 episodes and then isn’t a problem at all after that

Tre

@Phil K Because the Japanese training for voice acting is insane compared to ours. They are just better at it for the most part. Plus, some lines in anime are very cringe if heard spoken aloud, so simply reading the cringe and hearing the emotion but not the words pretty much nullifies the cringe.

Michael H

I’d throw in aot

Aoi

W, sub is winning, not that i wouldve minded dub tho but tbh i just think in its original language is mostly always better

gdnsx

and thats your opinion, right ? :) but if 80+% of people say the same thing, then there has to be something.

Rockycitygirl

That’s why I love it!

Aoi

Asta at the beginning in dub is extra annoying though. You can usually just ignore him when it's a different language. That stops pretty quickly but that start is tough.

Kevin Croft

Its because you don’t know the language, you can’t understand what they’re saying without subtitles, so of course your gonna think that..

Aoi

What do you mean for the experience? The experience would be watching Bleach in sub lol

Kevin Croft

Often times as a Japanese native, sub is often really exaggerated too

Aoi

You don’t think dub VAs count as voice actors…?

Michael H

That’s your opinion, I think dub is better, doesn’t make me incorrect as it’s subjective

Aoi

"i think you shouldnt ask your community and just listen to me" i lold :D

Rockycitygirl

I know sub is the normally the way to go, but there are great dub adaptations. Black Clover is one of those that is great dubbed. I highly recommend the dubbed version.There’s nothing wrong with liking one version over the other of any anime, or just enjoying both.

Esteban Padilla

That’s not true, that’s your opinion, it’s all subjective, sub is not objectively better than dub, as the other guy may say dub is better than sub, that doesn’t make him incorrect.

Aoi

Who listens to dub? All the nerdy looking people hahaahahahahahahahahahaha facts

Mike Strike

Because their too close minded

Aoi

That is not true whatsoever, death note, dragon ball, fmab, some will say naruto are all better dubbed

Aoi

I’d throw Cowboy Bebop in there, as well as a couple comedies, like Prison School

Michael H

I believe there should be no poll for DragonBall z and bleach for dub just watch them in dub for the experience.

sandust

yeah bias

defnotdai

@Hussaw AoT better in dub? That is a wild take…

Michael H

I feel like they should just watch FMAB dub and not do a poll on it. There are sub elitists who put Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, FMAB etc sub version of those shows over dub but imo the dub of those shows are much better no debate

Kayso

death note, db, aot (arguably), cowboy bebop etc

Hussaw

For this anime I preferred the dub but for this one in particular it doesn’t matter as much since both are good. I found Asta’s voice slightly more tolerable in the dub starting off, but the sub VA does get better. (It was his first role)

FabledJarl

Exactly like I connect more with the language I speak, I don't see it as cringe lol

Kayso

some of yall are too closeminded, and some of yall are just blatant try hards. You're gonna prefer what you prefer, but that doesn't make your preference any better or worse.

defnotdai

That's how I feel as well I just can't stop cringing to dub, especially cool scenes I like in sub and then trying to watch it in dub is the worst.

SHDW Replayz

I think it really depends on the VA's.

GentleCrank

I already know who Ron’s favorite going to be 😭

Shaide

Dub is never better, at most it’s good, but sub always better

a_u_i_o

For English users, I think dub is undoubtedly better because it is easier to understand the emotions. Dub also performed well in this show. But as a Japanese and English speaker, I would say that sub can be closer to the original meaning and bring out the intonation that is unique to Japanese, thus being closer to the character's personality.

Kevin Lee

Well theres gotta be reason for that?:)

What I mean by fake is that with dub I can't stop picturing in my head someone in a studio reading lines into a microphone but with sub even if it's not the best I don't get that that's why dub feels fake to me and sub it just feels real and I get more into the story.

SHDW Replayz

Their is no point putting up a poll because the sub meat riders are always gonna win

sam cameron

FMAB and Dragonball are the only 2 dubs

GeezMuhKnees

I agree

Abel J Lopez

seeing as sub will win I'm just ready to hear how Ron says their names

kurito

90 percent of anime’s that exist are better in sub. On a rare occasion would a dub work.

John H

Hear me out. No hate involved. Most media consumed in US is originally created in English and thus there is no need for dubbing. Americans seem to still think that dubbing is equal to voice acting, and it's not, those are different things and that's why English dub is decades behind in quality. That's a fact we'll known by dubbing professionals around the world. Better keep up with sub and original audio.

Renatinho

tf is wrong with rick and morty?

defnotdai

I be wondering the same thing, like bro you're not better than the next person one way or the other, relax lol

defnotdai

I like sub because dub just feels fake to me and it's better to watch it in its own language. Dub just sounds cringe to me most of the time sorry can't help it. I try to watch cool scenes in anime I like in dub but I just cringe so hard.😅

SHDW Replayz

I think the english va’s did a good job but sub just feels like they put in more emotion into it

Oscar Hernandez

Sub is always gonna win on a sub vs dub poll no matter what, it's a given. I do remember people used to not like Asta in sub, said he was so annoying and was screaming too much and it didn't sound good, so sub isn't always perfect. Black Clover has a great dub though, but looks like we're doing sub which is cool. Not complaining nor am I shitting on the sub (just bringing up Asta is all), looking forward to Black Clover. Whenever FMAB comes I hope they watch it in dub. If its a poll for it I feel sub will win which is no surprise, but it may be super close since a lot of people love FMAB in dub.

Kayso

i dont think its bad, but if i have the choice, i think the original voice actors are superior lots of people watching shows with english original voices, instead of their countries dub version, kinda the same

Rockycitygirl

the normies do that

defnotdai

Naruto ? 🤣 no shot

Chase Canty

this is so lame

Abel J Lopez

I'll never understand why it's SO bad to watch anime in your spoken language.

Phil K

I ain't gon lie, sub vs dub polls always seem pretty pointless to me because sub will always win. It's actually annoying because sometimes people will just choose it to spitefully be like haha fuck dub. So, considering that, Ron and Michelle are there any shows that YOU personally would be interested in giving a chance in dub, regardless of a poll? I mean I'd at least like to see yall do one show in dub, but if it's always left up to polls, that's unlikely.

defnotdai

Nah, Ghost Stories has the best dub ever and it's not even close

SirCatelot

Finalmente ❤️❤️❤️

Bornai

NOT DUB

Tre

i mean everyone can do as he likes, its just my honest opinion. if you dont like reading and are fine with dub, go for it. also i think people are more likely to accept a dubbed anime they grew up with, like dragonball gets mentioned alot. i watched it as a kid on tv as dub of course and liked it. so obviously i would say "the dragonball dub is good" its kind of nostalgia, at least for me

Rockycitygirl

Dub feels as if I'm watching cartoons like rick and morty 🤢

Sae

I'm mainly talking about very emotional scenes. You can really feel the pain and emotions compared to a lot of dubs. Of course I'm not talking about all of them.

GentleCrank

one of the voice actors is from Dragon Ball in Black Clover

kurito

Actually you can go wrong with sub for one anime for sure. I'm pretty sure the whole world would agree too. Subbed Dragonball Super is horrendous!!! Lol

WaB_ Bigvai

The dub is good for all those but the sub is always a level above

Nate Banker

Neh, Ntg is btr than dragon ball dub let’s be honest

mohamed rafee

gotta disagree with that first line. naruto, death note, and yuyu hakusho all have better dubs imo. Or maybe "better dubs" is the wrong wording. It's more like I like their dub voices for their characters better overall.

defnotdai

Oh okay, I was like there’s no way lol

B-Rai

I think you should watch Black Clover in sub. In my opinion it is still better than the dub version. Yeah, at the beginning the VA of the main character might annoy you a bit because he screams a lot, but that's only the case at the beginning. And I also think the only reason the VA was like that because that was his first role as a voice actor, or at least one of his first roles

RorotheShadow

All I’m saying, there better not be a Sub vs. Dub debate for the Dragon Ball series😂

Jaime Sandoval

They’ve watched some of it. I think they’ll most likely watch it later in the future

Jaime Sandoval

Delusional

DeadlyWeeb

mha?

defnotdai

I hope sub wins 😱

Cold_Cyber

The slow reader part is most likely what dub watchers don’t wanna expose themselves for😂

Jaime Sandoval

They’re both good, but I feel like this is one where the dub is better. Either way, it starts a little slow, so don’t get discouraged, it gets great.

Ren S.

Not necessarily. Japanese emotion and English emotion don't always translate the same way, but that doesn't equate to one putting in more emotion than the other.

defnotdai

When we get YYH i pray we get it dubbed. The dub is peak! Any other show i’d say sub tho for reaction purposes

MoonRelate

Why not both. 😂 Could be one of the pioneers in the reaction community for doing that.

Jasper Tan

Nah only 3 anime are rlly truly worth it in dub, those are death note, FMAB and dragon ball

mohamed rafee

It’s unfortunate, cuz once in a blue moon if the dub is really good, it really takes the art form to another level, and makes it even more relatable to us.

Antonio Ricardo

I only seen on Dub won't mind on sub. But FMA and DB dub is the choice

heavyweightyoe

Dragon ball too hands down

Jaime Sandoval

I feel like dub stands little to no chance on here. The sub only mentality is too strong…

Matthew Richson

Honestly the only dubs I think are worth it over the sub is dragon ball and full metal

Spelner

I’ve listened to dub and sub, I personally like sub better for black clover. For instance, dragon ball Ik dub is way better, sub was weird bc of how high pitched Gokus voice was. It wasn’t bad but Goku’s dub VA is amazing. For Naruto, I loved dub more than sub bc I’m hearing and seeing every detail of what’s happening. Madara, Jiraiya, Might Guy, Sasuke, and believe it that Naruto too have awesome VA’s.

Jaime Sandoval

Sub winning by a landslide lmaoooo love it

JaJa

This is always a waste of a poll dub will never win the people who watch sub are way to adamant that dub sucks

Project Freelancer

Its gonna take a minute to get past the main characters voice either dub or sub, but stick with it, it gets good

Dank

Why u have to be mad, it's only game

Pain LaBaguette

I feel like Japanese VA's put more emotion in their work, which I appreciate more

GentleCrank

Coming from someone who watches both and sees the value and talent in both, I can't stress how much I hate sub vs dub debates

defnotdai

Most people who have watched black clover recommend the dub

Glimpies

some dubs are definitly not bad, or even good but in my opinion you cant beat the original. japanase voice actors are just on another level people disliking subs are bad/slow readers black clover has a very slow start, i doubt dub or sub change that, its just that kind of anime.

Rockycitygirl

Fairy Tail too actually

Karaka

Dub imo is only better or equal in DB, Naruto, and Yu Yu Hakusho.

ra-TH_

The dub is never better than the sub.. never. Its just that sometimes the dub isnt bad.

JetLife2TheNextLife

They never watched DBZ!?

B-Rai

Sub, not even close on this one imo

Raden

But I’m used to sub scared to trying dub after hearing luffy voice actor in dub it’s horrible so I’m voting sub

eduardo jaimes

Dub ain't good enough to win lol it ain't fmab

MOB12

kai

Majority of the Black Clover critics have watched it in Dub too, which says a lot

Karaka

Even I didn't really ever watched it, but I'll go voting for SUB all the day. Japanese Anime, there is a reason why they're the best voice actors/actresses for their own kind.

Hisoka Morrow

The DUB VA For Yami Is A Legend (Vegeta, Zoro, All Might ) . But Other Than That SUB Is The Way To Go 💯

Bryan Moreno

Bruh people really think dub is gonna win?🤣

g c

As much of a Dub advocate I am, (as long as it’s good), we’d probably have to go Sub here, tho the dub is pretty good too. VERY good dubs tho, would be SAO, FMA, Gode Geass, and even Death Note being one of if not the best, but you guys seen that lol.

Antonio Ricardo

Sub all the wayyyyy

Sid M

Can’t even watch reactions for dub so much cringe

Rawaby 1204

Main Character's voice actor in the sub had never been a main character before. He starts off a bit shaky, but ended up winning "Best Voice Actor" awards. And the rest of the cast is on point as well. The dub is good too, though, so if you go that way you won't be going wrong. But I do think the sub is a level above here.

Nathan Grenawalt

I've never seen the dub, so I can't speak on if it's good or not. Honestly, I don't care one way or the other. I'll watch regardless, however if yall are gonna do a show in dub, make sure fmab and yuyu hakusho are one of them.

defnotdai

sub sub sub sub sub

Sneezy

For FMAB, dub is great but not better than Sub.

Kevin Lee

Pls never put up a vote for a sub vs dub lmao

Erick

Black clover has good hype moments but that’s it it’s not a show for character development and emotion tbh but hope you enjoy the fights i guess I love when you guys watch emotional shi and start crying 😂😂

zak

The only truly good dubs are cowboy bebop and samurai champloo. The dubs for FMAB and Death Note are OK but the main character in both of them I think sound super annoying with their english VAs. There's just really never a reason to watch the dub if you can read

yosh

HERE COMES THE DEBATE 😭🙃

C Nichole

Black clover is better in sub, main character is a little bit annoying first few episodes in both but the dub version of it takes it to another level 😅

Beto

Sub, but for the first 20 episodes you might find asta’s voice very loud and annoying. But it tones down after.

DeathTheKidd

Imo if you were to try dub this would not be the one. I don’t know if y’all would ever watch dragon ball but that’s a good dub if you do.

Avery Woolfe

At Least asta dub isn’t as bad a luffy dub

eduardo jaimes

Black Clover is definitely not an Anime to watch in English Dub. The only Anime with good English Dub are FMAB, DBZ & Naruto.

Karaka

fma and dbz have excellent dubs..black clover has one of the worst modern dubs

KINGxRED248

Sub is better in the long run imo

Kerel D.

I’ve watched both and thought they were both cool Sub is gonna win off rip though cause dubs are always hated lol

Jahmilla

True

The Insane CSGO Moments

SUB FOR EVERYTHAAANG 😈 💯

DRKKN7GHT

My vote will lose, but I love that I at least had a chance to have a say in the choice! Can’t wait

Justify

theres never a point where dub is better its just that its sometimes good enough to watch for some shows yet I feel like they never do ALL the characters right where as for sub you could never go wrong

Aye watch yo jet

I never seen black clover but I'm voting for dub just to give them a chance 👍

Liam Powell

yes, it is but its a old anime my opinion i dont like new VA's, my opinion tho.

Anthony Chavez

Some dubs are pretty decent, imo Black Clover is not one of them lol

Stellarnut

It is true that dub is better for some anime like dbz and FMAB but for black clover sub is superior

JustChris

‘Sigh’ dub never stands a chance on here…

Matthew Richson

Stoked y’all are starting this. I think it’s gonna be in Ron’s top 5 anime of all time.

William Howard

Love him but his voice irritates me

Tony Wallace

Please no dub 😂😂😂

NATE

Screw votes IMO. People don't know what they want. I want whatever will generate the best reaction content, and if you're less occupied reading you can focus more easily

Dale Diaz

Not even close, this shouldn't even be a poll, sub always😭🙏

Divine Simp

Sub don’t mind the dub either

Shaide

Sub wipes dub

NATE

I’m ngl asta is annoying in dub definitely sub

Tony Wallace

Black clover dub is so bad😭

Ai

Hell nah sub is crazy good

Enzo Torales

Plz do dub , sub asta is unbearable plus some of the coldest lines in black clover are dub !!

Bryan Solorzano

Naruto shipp dub is fire can’t forget it

Jacob Bailey

Sub innit

Maz Ibrahim

Def sub for black clover !!

Yukina

Marcus
