Subtitles

Dr.Seussicide · 09-05-2009, 10:05 AM

I love subtitles, I personally feel cheated when I can't watch a movie/series when it isn't subtitled or closed captioned and I also personally believe that subtitles actually attributed to my having a good grasp of the English language, as well as having a higher knowledge of the spelling of lexical items than my counterparts.

Let me just say this, english dubbed anime sucks horribly. I'll take subs over dubs anyday.

Funniest/worst dub ever

I'll echo what others have said...I'd rather watch a foreign movie in it's original language with subtitles. Not only does it preserve the movie as it was originally created, but I may learn a thing or two.

My only issue is that sometimes I have to rewind if they're going too fast, and it's hard to look at the action and read at the same time. But that's a minor complaint.

It's because most Americans don't take their voice acting jobs seriously when it comes to Anime.

Anime is actually the only thing I ever consider watching dubbed, but mostly just because sometimes the English voices seem to match with the character better than the Japanese voice. Other than that, I think subtitles are wonderful, especially when it comes to martial arts movies. Dubbing seems to take so much away from the true meaning of what the characters are saying. But I can definitely see how someone who doesn't like reading or maybe is a poor reader would have problems with it.
