Noooo, I can assure you that I won't. I do NOT like them. I cringe. I can't stand them. I just can't. DDDx Well, I mean the recurring ones that used to have their REAL voices, like Ash and Brock. And Team Rocket too. ;~; Nothing can be done about Meowth's voice, obviously, so his voice would be different now even if there was no contract/cast change.

But no, never. I hated every new voice once the cast was changed. I also dislike Dawn's English voice. I'm not being narrow minded, it's just that...they were the voices I grew up with and loved, and once they changed them, not only did it change the entire character for me, but it was just...wrong. It made me feel really, really frustrated when I watched it in English. DDx Plus, Ash's new voice actor is not a good actor. I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

xD I was under the impression that you disliked Ash anyway.

I recommend watching Sergeant Frog. Perfect anime series of how dubbing should be done.

I prefer Subbed. They make some Animes seem so much more grittier - Naturo was all about "Idiot" and "Stupid" in their Dubbed insults. Subbed - well, we'll leave that for another day xP

Plus, I like to read, and I feel that situations are easier to understand in Subbed. Also, a majority of Dubs suck (not FMA though - they were awesome! :3)

Hehehe, I'm the only one to vote for Subbed in the poll :')

That depends on what you started seeing with. I started watching Pokemon in English, subbed became an annoyance after that >_<
I'd prefer Digimon subbed. English songs were weird :/
Naruto - Subbed. Dattebayo forever <3
Any other anime, DUBBED for sure. Subbed sort of makes it difficult to catch up on the story. Sometimes, they say things too fast, gets difficult to read the subtitles that way.

There should be an option for I enjoy both. I can appreciate something if it has subs and/or dubs. BUT PLEASE, IN THE NAME OF ARCEUS! The translation of those subs better be good! I've seen atrocious, no... ATROCIOUS localizations of subbed movies, for God's sake! D:

I prefer to watch my anime in the language I know best. So it has to be in English.

Dub to me the voice change is no big deal. Well like hte first year it was but now I hear little to no change.

[alice_the_dratini]

I like either. I like the 4Kids dub despite all the mistakes and censorship because it's nostalgic and I prefer the character voices over the new ones. I like the subbed version because it's the original and I like the opening themes better than most of the English ones.

Dubbed.

I multitask, and I "watch" pokemon while I do other work. I'd like to be able to understand what's going on while I do my work. But when it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh, I have to watch subbed. A lot more mature and violent in the subbed variant.

Subbed, most of the time

In the pokemon series, I prefer it dubbed, so I can pay attention more to the video than reading. But in the case of most other anime, I prefer the sub in English. I don't know why, I prefer the Japanese voice actors, and I LOVE the language :3

dubbed only because its simpler. I dont watch the new episodes though, so i dont need to worry about the horrible voices XD

[Zetsu]

I actually don't mind either way. I mean, I use to only perfer Dubbed, because I'd only watched Dubbed pokemon for so many years, it's hard to get use to the japanse voices, but once i started watching Subbed (Because of the multiple repeats), I gradually got use to the Subbed versions, now i watch both Subbed and Dubbed.

Amen, my friend. Amen.

[ArielJustice]

I like subbed if its a series not in america and if the subs are good. Some series are subs that use way too many swear words and makes things way over the top.

Seconded for same reason. Also since 4kids lost the dubbing license (both a blessing and a curse in my opinion), I've been more prone to watch the subs over the dubs simply because I find the original Japanese to sound more natural than the dubbed voices and I think the original Japanese flows better with the animation.
