I like the original quality of the Japanse audio but I don't speak Japanese and I hate having to read the words while trying to watch them. I love the English dubbed because I can get into the show better when I understand what they are saying.

I think dubbing is nearly always the worst option.

I was in Mexico last year and a real bad dubbed version of the show Bonanza came on. They had dubbed the show in Spanish the character of Hoss who is a real big guy was given the voice of a litle kid almost, and the character Little Joe was voiced by a guy that sounds almost like he could do opra it was such a huge voice. I have some anime also done that way that I only watch them in their Japanese audio. But there are shows like Bleach that are done really good were the voice talent works good with body of the show.

Some dubs are bound to fail simply because some things can only be understood in context of the Japanese language and culture. I generally support dubs because it's a sign of the anime industry's expansion and it creates a larger consumer base. Dubs are getting better as the industry grows but the general lack of anime on TV worries me, makes me feel old when I no longer hear kids talking about Gundams blowing each other up or superpowered humans bashing each other in the face... Basically I like dubs because it's really the only effective way to introduce children into anime... who as they grow support the industry over here, which means I don't have to import things at much higher costs >.

I know Funimation and some other companies have subtitles that are a literal translation of the Japanese script so I like to watch the subbed versions second to contrast and compare the two versions. It's almost as if I'm watching two different shows sometimes.
