I love subs and dubs so XD
Everyone deserves an opinion ^^

The problem is that the sub v Dub debate is really at the root of fandom. It often determins what companies in the US you support, that is if you even support them at all.

I only like the people that do the voices. I could care less about the US companies that they work for. Sorry to say it, but that's how I feel about it. Also "fandom" for me is based upon purely liking Japanese culture. I don't think it mattes what voice side you choose. As long as you like anime and have fun watching it, that's what really matters in the end.
I think folks are confused on what being a "fan of anime" is all about. :angel:

I don't mind a redoing of anime for the English speaking audience.
Its still doesn't make it any less Japanese, just because a foreigner
does the voice of an Asian art form A slight change is okay with me,
but a major one is a definite "not on" IMO.

I actually can't stand E-dubs, they make my ears bleed. The most part of that would be because I only watch Subbed anime. I'm a quick reader so I have no problem with reading subs fast enough and I've got wide peripheral vision so I can focus on watching and read at the same time. What puts me of mostly is the way the american VA's voices dont suit the characters, when I switch to watching the subbed the voices tend to be much more mellow and fit seamlessly. It just takes away the whole feeling of originality and emotion. There's my opinion.

I can understand that. strange thing is I don't hate either one. I just listen to one more so than the other. I have nothing against J-Dubs and would gladly watch them. I might actually do that with the next anime I buy. Which could take a while knowing my speed on things..... >.<

Well I can actually say that out of the 75 anime series on my comp, only about 3 of them have English audio and even they have Japanese audio as well. As you can probably guess I've not watched any of them with E-dubs only subs. (Three series are; Onegai Teacher, Onegai Twins and Mahou Sensei Negima!)
