Japanese Dub Vs English Dub: Which do you prefer and why?

[Gentleman Raptor]

Which do you prefer? For me, I like both. There are voices I prefer in in Japanese, and voices I prefer in English. Examples being that I prefer Itachi's English voice because I think it fits his character more, Tobito's Japanese voice because I think they made the English voice way too deep, and Kabuto's English voice because I think he has a more sinister tone.

Also, please don't just say you prefer Japanese because English sucks. Elaborate on it.

I don't know why, i first started waching naruto with english but when i started watching it on japanese the voices, well. i don't know,
they kinda fit the characters more than the english voices.

[Champ]

Grew up watchin English dub, so that will always be the best

 

[Words of wisdom]

Well I only like English dub for dbz.

 

[Gentleman Raptor]

I prefer Japanese dub, their voice actors are often much better and more experienced than English ones. Plus, Naruto's English voice makes me cringe. I've never watched enough of the English dub to hear voices of characters such as Tobi and Itachi so yeah. Japanese dub all the way.

Yeah, Naruto's English voice was definitely annoying in Part 1 to me, but I got used to it in Shippuden.

Japanese for Naruto. English for anything else.

 

[Hipster Madara]

Japanese by far

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

English dubbed because i don't have to pay absolute attention and I can just listen to it when I want

^^this. And also I just like English more than Japanese. Examples are Yusuke, Light Yagami, Lelouch, Hei, L, Mugen, and many others.

 

[uchiahjay]

there's an english version? who knew!

 

[Chode]

Japanese .... I started watching it in Japanese so the english ones just sound funny to me

 

[-Hatake-]

Japanese, sounds way more epic.

Imagine Aizen saying this in English.

 

[jsrhoden]

Part 1 Naruto - English

Shippuden - Japanese

 

[Kazemaru]

Japanese. I hate Narutos English voice. I never got around to hearing anyone else's English voice later in the series because I quit after hearing Naruto voice. Plus, with sub I can know what's happening even if there's background noise.

I would say the Japanese dub is better, the English voices just seem too cheesy for me. Also, it sometimes makes no sense. Why do they say everything in English, but they also say "Chidori" and not "Thousand birds"? Granted, Chidori sounds a lot cooler than Thousand Birds, but it's just silly to me.

 

[Ineverquit]

I watch both, Japanese is better for some of the voices, and is more further along on the story, but I can actually understand English, and it doesn't have subtitles disrupting the view unlike Japanese version.

 

[Strata Uchiha]

I would have watched the English Dub instead of the Japanese way back when, but they kept going on hiatus. That was so exasperating!
