Death Note Question

What version should i watch (subbed vs. dubbed)

Ive really want to start DEATH NOTE for a while now, and i finally made time to start it, but i want to know if i should watch the subbed or dubbed version. Under most caces, subbed is better (some of you would beg to differ) but under rare caces, i found the dubbed version more funny and entertaining. one example is HETALIA. so, i could use some advice from the fans on what version I should watch.

I think subbed is better because it's much more original. The dubbed is too overacting.

Dubbed. They cut out one or two scenes from subbed in the dub, but I think that the voices fit better in the dub. For example, L's voice is too high pitched in the original, in my opinion. He's supposed to be 24, but he sounds 16. I like that his voice is deeper, but not too deep, in the English. The lines are more intense, too.

Oh, and one more thing: I usually DESPISE dubs. Hetalia, FMA, Soul Eater, and INAZUMA ELEVEN! are the only other dubs I like. The fact that I like the Death Note dub is pretty huge.

In my opinion, subbed, because it is more original. In dubbed, they have to change the text (and sometimes the meaning) to make it fit.

What text? If you mean the text in the Death Note, they actually didn't change it.

No, I mean would have to change the orignal meaning make it fit in the video...

(herpdederp 4 months ago) But then again, in Japanese it's not even the same as the ORIGINAL Manga.

Misa's voice is more annoying in dub

I really do like both, honestly.

However, I find this anime most enjoyable watching it dubbed. The voice actors did a really good job, and I think L was voiced a lot better in the dub compared to sub.
There is one iffy thing about the dub and that is Misa's voice, but you get used to it.
This is one of those rare cases where the dub can match the sub. So either one is fine. Dub is just my preference for Death Note ;)

I honestly think subbed is better. I tried dubbed but the voices just didn't feel right to me. I feel that having it subbed makes the show much more intense e and realistic -subbed all the way

Subbed, the voices are better and they give more emotion to the anime. And Light's laughting in the dubbed version is very weird. I don't know but it also helps a little to comprehend better the japanese languaje. owo
