There is always going to be that debate between which is better subbed anime or dubbed anime. Both have good and bad points to them for example, dubbing an anime can be very effective and can turn out better than the original version e.g. Is This A Zombie was a fantastic dub done by FUNimation. However it can turn out horrible with the voices out of sync and overacting being done by the VAs e.g. Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. I watched the first episode of this with English dub and I was shocked with how bad it was so I immediately switched to subbed and so glad i did.

There are some series that are great with Japanese voice overs but because of complex story lines and fast paced scenes and dub would benefit those who aren’t speed readers a good example of this would be Shakugan no Shana. This was a great 3 season long series however the story was very complex and some episodes had to be reviewed after finishing them to clarify some major points.

In the end dubs are good if they are done well so if you want to watch and anime thats dubbed make sure its done by FUNimation because their track record of animes (Dragonballl Z, One Piece) is flawless even if it takes them 1-2 years to dub a series. Baka.
