Tbh, idrc about whether the anime I'm watching is subbed or dubbed most of the time, with some exceptions, like panty and stocking with garterbelt (dubbed), sonic x (subbed), and lucky star (both). It just really depends on the anime I'm watching.

This post isn't meant to spark a sub vs dub debate, but rather express your preferences and opinions on them.

Generally I watch animes in japanese with english sub, because most of the time I really dont like the english or german voices. There are some exceptions to it, like Fullmetal Alchemist or Elfen Lied, where I watched the german dub as a teenager and they are still great to this day. (In comparison, I think the german dub of Naruto is just terrible)

To be honest, I prefer to watch any movie, series, or anime only in dubbing. This is especially true for anime, as my Japanese language skills are at an elementary level at the moment. It is for this reason that I prefer to watch content through soap2day, as almost every material has both original translation and professional dubbing. Although it's probably worth trying to watch this content in the original translation with subtitles, it will allow you to develop your Japanese language learning skills.

It depends, mostly dub though, but I will switch over to sub if the dub has not gone that far.

I prefer sub over dub. I think most shows sound better with the original voices. Their mouths align with what they are saying. Most animes also have terrible or weird English dubs and the character's mouths not matching with the voices bug me.

Subs. I don’t watch anime much (I do but not a lot), but I always prefer subs over dubs.

I think subs are infinitely better but I usually use it for background noise so I end up having to rely on dubs.

I prefer the sub, for the most part. I need a certain amount of input to fully pay attention to something. The audio doesn't quite hit that and I usually end up zoned out. Having words on the screen to read through really helps me to pay attention, because- words, y'know? This is also why I always have close captioning on when I'm watching anything, even if it is in English. Keeps the focus where it needs to be.
to be aesthetic or not to be aesthetic that is not a question because I am not aesthetic at all and nor is this signature

Sub usually, but if I'm busy I watched it in dub.

Subs mainly unless the dub add an additional element like Ghost stories.
