Now I know, it's really talked about and some get tired of it, so if you don't want to read it, go ahead. But I made this post because I wanted to let others know what's better: Dubs or Subs?
And my answer is...it depends on who the viewer is.
Now, let's just use Fruits Basket as an example. It's extremely popular and both the anime and manga have been positively reviewed by many. Now I (and many other people) watched Fruits Basket DUBBED, and I absolutely loved it! It was my first ever anime, and with it in English, I understood everything and it wasn't so complicated.
Then some years later, I decided to watch it SUBBED, because I never ever watched it in its original Japanese. And I hated. It was annoying and Yuki sounded really weird (I know his voice actress was female btw).
For many, it'll depend on which you watched first: the dub or the sub. Because if you watched an anime in Japanese, you'll be more used to it in Japanese than in English or some other language. The same thing can go for dubs.
Many do also say that "If ya wanna be a true otaku or anime fan, watch it subbed" and honestly, that's sort of....well in the nicest way I can say it, is a really bullshitty excuse. It's YOUR decision whether or not you want to watch an anime in English or Japanese.
Or...some may say THERE'S MORE FEELINGS IN THE JAPANESE VOICES SO WATCH IT SUBBED. That could be true, but that's how you hear it. Not how others may. I really like the dub of Attack on Titan (I watched it originally subbed and then it was announced to be dubbed so I watched that as well). It was weird at first, but I got used to it.
Basically, if YOU like anime in Japanese, good. Same thing if you like it in English. At the end, it doesn't really matter.
