Anime: Japanese vs English
Shady internal affairs aside, I've mostly liked Funimation's dubs.
Brina Palencia's performances most of all.
Depends.
One Piece: Japanese obviously- 4Kids Sanji sounds mentally handicapped
Naruto: both dubs are equal
DBZ: English dub stomps, Japanese versions are too high pitched
Hellsing: Both are great but the English dub takes it for me as I love Anderson’s accent
Death Note: same as above, both are great
Japanese. There are significant changes to the characters when translated. Kenichi Shirihama for example...or the best example may be Goku, who isn't a hero at all in the original Japanese. He is basically just hick that likes to fight, and he ends up on the good side mostly. But he isn't this super man type righteous hero that the dubs made him out to be.
If it’s a good enough anime (Demon Slayer) I won’t wait for the dub and just watch the sub. But if I have the option I’d always pick dub.
I don’t typically watch anime, but when I do, I usually like to listen to the English dub. One anime I watch would be DBZ. I can’t stand the Japanese dub and I think the English dub is far better.
