Let’s Rant Anime: Sub vs Dub Pt 1

Francis Nunez Writes:

I’ve been recommending anime to friends for as long as I can remember. Apart from the usual ‘if you like this, then watch this’ advice, one of my biggest points is whether to watch it subbed (in original Japanese audio with subtitles) or dubbed (another spoken language). Within the criteria of ‘subbed versus dubbed’ there are also the issues of background music; opening and ending music; voice actor performance; and whether or not the voice actor is the right choice for the role.
