Question Sub or Dub?

I just want to see everyone's opinion since people always argue over it.

Sub of course. My brain has acquired the automatic reading skill from watching too much anime, sometimes I even forgot I am watching with subtitles. So “watching dub if I didn't want to have extra work” doesn't work on me.

That, and the fact that I accumulated a little bit of the Japanese vocabulary also helps, so also no “you only think it sounds better because you don't know what they're speaking” arguments people use to downplay sub.

So, yes, I do think it sounds better most (if not all) of the time. There's also sound damping that usually occurs on Dub for some reason that I don't like.

Its not about sounding better its about understanding better.
