I'm one of the few who prefers dubs over subs.
Two reasons:
1. I like multitasking.
2. I don't like reading a cartoon. I'll get the manga instead.
Basically, I just don't like having to read text at the bottom of the screen when watching a cartoon. But if an anime catches my interest enough, I'd tolerate having to read the subtitles. For example, my favorite anime right now is Lovely Complex. I was able to finish watching that anime. Normally, I don't finish watching an anime because I get put off by the subs.
My friend gave me a bunch of anime (mostly subs) and he was shocked to hear that I haven't finished watching most of them. Lol. But when he gave me dubs, I finished watching them all. One example is Fullmetal Alchemist. He gave me sub first, and I watched the first few episodes and never finished even after some months. Then he gave me the dubbed. I finished watching it in a few days. Lol.
Of course, the dubs have to be from good companies. There are some dubs I can't stand, and Animax dubs are one of them.
