I never follow how people dislike English dubs so much - there are a lot of very good dubs out. I like subbed anime too, but given the option, I'd rather be able to hear and understand what is being said instead of having to read the bottom two inches of the screen during all the action.



Personally, I'm looking forward to this. Somehow (even though it's still early days) I can see Crispin Freeman being given the role of Okabe

Spoiler for offtopic:

And this is exactly the part I have never, and will never understand. Why do you must stare at the bottom of screen and thus miss the action? Are you so SLOW at reading that unless you focus on the bottom of the screen, you will not know what the characters are saying?

Frankly, I don't even look at the bottom at the screen - at all. When new line is said, I quickly glance to the bottom, and that's it. Takes less than a second and doesn't take anything away from the enjoyment of my anime. As long as subs are out there, I don't mind not being able to understand Japanese. Also, after you've watched a lot of anime, you'll understand fragments of what is said here and there, too.

While dubs, frankly, they rape the characters and the anime. The dubs never fit the character personalities as they should. Such thing as '' good dub '' does not exist. Dubs take away alot of the original meaning sometimes, as well as lessen the impact some scenes should trigger.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I don't watch dubs yes, but I still do and always will despise the fact that they must be dubbed in the first place. This is the reason why no one bothers to release games outside of Japan in their original audio either, since the games are aimed at people like YOU.
