Japanese MLP: Subbed or Dubbed?

[~Scootaloo 440]

Which do you prefer?

 

Subbed: subtitled

Dubbed: dubbed over with different audio

 

My opinion: I understand some don't like reading subtitles, but in my opinion dubbed ruins it for me.

To be quite honest, the choices listed are inadequate. For many mainstream shows (I'm looking at you Bleach) the dubs are often cringe worthy, yes, but on the flip side, for production studios such as Studio Ghibli, their dubs are very well done. What I'm trying to say it, it really depends on the show, in my opinion.

Well it's not like I can list every single show. Plus this thread is primarily targeted at MLP and some dubs of it. I am not too ecstatic about some dubs.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. In that case I have no experience what so ever on the matter and will gracefully withdraw from the topic!

I like dub because I can watch it the way it was meant a visual media. Diverting my eyes from the action loses some of the meaning for me.

 

but I do enjoy subs if I have seen it a dozen.

Some times I put the audio in other languages then in was made in.

The only obvious choice, subbed.  If you are going to watch a show with another language, you might as learn some new words? And original audio just doesn't have any issues with timing.

If I were to watch MLP in another language (I'd choose Spanish, because I'm learning it.) I'd prefer it to be dubbed. I feel like, at least for TV anyway, it's easier to understand when you hear it than it is when you read it.
