I'm gonna be an oddball and say dubs. I can actually relate more to the story if the characters are speaking in my own language.

The voice acting in the Japanese version is infinitely better. I honestly cant stand naruto's voice in the dub. and they really do cut stuff out in the english version and they edit all the lines. Im not butthurt that they change naruto when they dub, Im saying its not as good

Animes like Naruto/fairytail/one piece/bleach/ and a few others (in dubs) Some animes aren't bad when dubbed, specially those by fundamation :) FMA/FMA another great example.

The only problem with dubs is, that they don't dub the animes fast enough :/

Dubbed Code geass was awesome!

I don't mind subs either:p I watch both.

I prefer subtitles. However in some cases the dub is better than the original japanese voice actors. A good example being Dragonball Z.

Dude, for me it is dubs. The voice sounds natural to the character. Take Gaara, for example, his voice for me is the clincher. But when I watched the Jap version I was like, wtf!? He sounded like a normel dude, I wasn't expecting him to sound EXACTLY the same but c'mon! In the english version that is how he should sound.
Not only Gaara but other characters too. Naruto sounds like a girl and Gai just doesn't have that flare that he has in the dubs.
And dubs connect you to a character on an emotional level. For the life of me I couldn't care for whatever a character has been through in subs.
Plus, if I wanted to read, I'd read a book.

Subs, 'cause in addition to anime sounding better in original, they also help me learn some Japanese.

I prefer subs because the Japanese voice actors put much more emotion into what they are saying and it is more believable than the dubs. Also it means that I can learn some Japanese which is amazing. :)

Subbed for most anime, for a rare few I can only watch in dubbed.

I prefer subbed anime. Some dubbed voices are extremely annoying U_U
Especially the females

I can't do subs, it annoys me too much, dubs are my only option.
