2021-11-11 23:37:40 +0000 UTCI’ll accept the sub here, but you have to throw the dub folks a bone at some point with a good series. In my opinion either FMAB or My Hero. Both of those dubs are very good
Vince92
2021-11-11 23:37:10 +0000 UTCYou know no good Dubs, no one knows any good Dubs. "vinland saga"
Anime Sage
2021-11-10 08:46:11 +0000 UTCWhat's important is leaving subtitles on either way. But you both know that already. We like to hear your commentary during the shows, and you don't want to miss important dialogue. (I liked the dub *very* much. Same with AOT. I don't know Japanese - like the huge bulk of non-Japanese anime fans - and I want to enjoy the art. Unless the dub is bad, I don't understand wanting to watch it with subtitles if you're watching on your own. But like I said, it's important for you both to use subtitles being you're a reaction channel and you don't want to miss anything.)

2021-11-05 13:37:25 +0000 UTCSUB for two reasons It's better voice actors and you'll be able to speak throughout the show while watching the subtitles. The second one is the most important one for me, Death note is not a show you wanna miss subtitles on.

Zsdda
2021-11-04 19:32:13 +0000 UTCI understand that the dub is really good, but the sub is just perfect. As someone who watched both versions i can say that the sub is far superior. Every show should be watched in its original language, sometimes the dub can be really good but it will never be better than the original.
Otavio Rodrigues
2021-11-04 16:20:27 +0000 UTCThe voice acting is so much better in dub for this series so vote dub everyone
Omar Gonzales
2021-11-04 14:34:29 +0000 UTCWhy would people prefer to watch dub, when it has wrong translation on some of the dialogue?
Berserker
2021-11-04 12:18:52 +0000 UTCFor a first time viewing, and for native English speakers, dub is a lot easier for focusing on plot and tone of voices, and its less likely for them to miss dialogue if they’re focusing on what’s happening rather than what’s being said
KingOfSpades355
2021-11-04 06:51:00 +0000 UTCIf you’re a native English speaker, you can understand the show a lot more with dub because you can focus on tone of voice, and other details shown in the scenes themselves. You also can’t really miss any of the dialogue
KingOfSpades355
2021-11-04 06:43:10 +0000 UTCFmab absolutely, but besides the fact that they already said theyre not interested in mha and superhero stuff, mha dubbed is genuinely to me personally one of then worst dubs ive heard. Outside all might. Chris sabat does a wonderful job as all might.
Allison Cornell
2021-11-04 04:41:05 +0000 UTCDub is decent, but the voice acting in the sub is just 10/10 perfect. Again though, its a decent dub. Just simply not as good and riveting as the sub. Its not FMAB where the dub easily outshines the sub (if you guys ever watch it, it has to be dub! Legitimately the best dub to ever exist. Its far better than sub.) Some series are a must watch dub, and i just dont think death note is one of them. It's a decent dub though. 👌 Better than sub though? No
Allison Cornell
2021-11-04 04:32:05 +0000 UTCWHY ARE PEOPLE VOTING SUB BRO
Sebastian
2021-11-04 03:39:39 +0000 UTCToo many people don't like reading I guess. Although the dub for Death Note is actually really good at least.

Salacious B. Crumb
2021-11-03 19:38:32 +0000 UTCThe dub is actually really good for this series
JP Le
2021-11-03 18:33:35 +0000 UTCafter the first part of attack on titan finishes, will you watch Demon Slayer? :(
Francisco Castro
2021-11-03 18:28:53 +0000 UTCDemocracy failed. Do the dub anyways.
Anthony Roberto Flores
2021-11-03 17:49:05 +0000 UTCYou have literally no idea what you're talking about. You said the exact same thing I said yet you're acting like I am elitist for it. Dear god people are dumb. I said most of the time the performances in the Dubs are worse than in the Subs, and that makes me elitist. You say "I prefer dub for Death note because L... is better than in teh sub" how is that any different?
Dankster
2021-11-03 17:33:57 +0000 UTCOnly SUB.
Zurik23M
2021-11-03 17:10:00 +0000 UTCEnglish dub is good but why watch it, you watch french or russian movies in dub too? No way. It doesn't make any sense why even watch anime lol. but that's just my opionion duuuuuude
circumambient
2021-11-03 14:59:13 +0000 UTCThe dub is good, one of the better ones, and this from someone that always prefers the subs in all my anime. BUT the acting in this one is too good on the Japanese side. It's a classic to be seen first in the original language, there is no comparison, Mamoru Miyano delivers one of the most iconic performances of one of the most iconic characters in all the history of anime.
David Caine
2021-11-03 10:55:10 +0000 UTCNEVER WATCH DUB
Kim555
2021-11-03 10:41:58 +0000 UTCForget the poll honestly lol. If there was ever a time YOU guys wanted to watch an anime dubbed, this show and a couple others are the perfect ones to do it with. The "Sub is always better/Sub ONLY" biased anime crowd will always vote that way regardless of the Dub or how great the quality is. So yeah, the poll is kinda pointless lol. If anything try both :)
Ryan
2021-11-03 10:20:00 +0000 UTCHow absolutely IRONIC this comment is lmao. This is satire right??
Ryan
2021-11-03 10:05:59 +0000 UTC"Immersion" is a person by person basis, there no point throwing out arbitrary numbers. How are hearing and understanding the words less immersive anyway? Because with DN, you're reading a lot of dialogue so it can be difficult to follow along. And as for "what the director wanted", I can almost guarantee they've never said anything like that lol. This just reads like something an Anime elitist would come up with lol.
Ryan
2021-11-03 10:02:13 +0000 UTCIt would be an awful experience, unfortunately, as the dub and sub won't match
TeaDrinker3000
2021-11-03 07:09:50 +0000 UTCThe voice acting in the dub is good but the translation misses out on a lot of nuances. Won't say what they are here for spoilers, but the sub is the best way to go.
TeaDrinker3000
2021-11-03 07:09:11 +0000 UTCDub swat team reporting for duty!

2021-11-03 07:00:49 +0000 UTCPretty accurate video you linked there FWolf lol
Melkor
2021-11-03 06:59:42 +0000 UTC@FWolf Completely agree FWolf and death note is one of the only anime I personally think is better in dub.
Melkor
2021-11-03 06:58:06 +0000 UTCAgreed. As long as at least FMAB is in the dub then I’m happy
Vince92
2021-11-03 03:12:58 +0000 UTCKS
2021-11-03 02:51:08 +0000 UTCSub is great for these two as they fully get into the show in their reactions, unlike most reactors. The sub gives them 100% immersion as that is how the director wanted it and not an American interpretation.
PS
2021-11-03 02:45:03 +0000 UTCFor me, if a show is live action it’s always sub, but for animated shows half of the fun is looking at the art, and if the audio is in a language I don’t understand than idc how good it is, I prefer to be able to watch the art and it helps you relate to drawn characters if you can understand what they’re saying. Some dubs are shitty though. This one’s ok, but I prefer some when it’s extremely well done, like in FMAB or DBZ. If you say either of those are bad then you’re just arguing in bad faith because they’re objectively good. But it’s fine if you don’t t like them. It’s not about which is better, that’s entirely opinion based, it’s just whichever each person prefers. So I support them doing a poll like this on every anime in the future. It’s the best way to do it
Vince92
2021-11-03 02:44:19 +0000 UTC& L’s voice actor is just too good in the dub to miss out on
KS
2021-11-03 02:38:55 +0000 UTCI know sub is winning but I think dub is such an enjoyable experience for death note, I really hope you end up watching it in English.
KS
2021-11-03 02:38:36 +0000 UTCI can live with the sub here if the dub is watched for FMAB and MHA. I think dubs just work better for reactions tbh
Vince92
2021-11-03 02:37:26 +0000 UTCI prefer the sub, but if you go for the dub, it's fine too.
Zeiss
2021-11-03 01:39:23 +0000 UTCExperience the divinity of Miyano Mamoru in subs. Him alone makes the sub better by miles. 🥲
Pada Lee
2021-11-03 01:35:28 +0000 UTCOf course I didn't know that lol. They should watch it in the original audio, please let them know it
Edu MP
2021-11-03 01:31:38 +0000 UTCIt's the exact opposite of elitist. If I were elitist I wouldn't watch dubs at all. I kept seeing people say "The dub is actually really good! It's better than the sub" then you watch it, and most of the characters are worse, with the voice acting being way more one dimensional than the original. How is that elitist? Don't say buzzwords just to say them.
Dankster
2021-11-03 01:29:03 +0000 UTCthey are good but it's harder to root for Light in the dub
PS
2021-11-03 01:20:54 +0000 UTCDeath Note is on Netflix, pretty sure it has the right and good subtitles.
Mati D.
2021-11-03 01:18:11 +0000 UTCCause the voices for the dub are surprisingly better and more emotional, the voices fit perfectly especially with Light
Seth
2021-11-03 00:48:06 +0000 UTCOne of the few animes I really enjoy in dub but sub is fine too!
Erwin Smith
2021-11-03 00:47:21 +0000 UTCThe sub voice acting isn’t as good except for that one laugh
Seth
2021-11-03 00:46:00 +0000 UTCI’m disappointed in yall :/ the dub is MUCH better and normally I watch sub
Seth
2021-11-03 00:44:50 +0000 UTCDub is real good, but I guess there are still a lot of purists that are voting for the Subs. I hope they will at least let them enjoy the dub version of FMA:B when they watch it next.
MaxVSTheGames
2021-11-03 00:44:47 +0000 UTCThis a great idea! This how I do it.
Norrin Radd
2021-11-03 00:42:37 +0000 UTCYes. Better yet, watch the French dub with Serbian subtitles.
A
2021-11-03 00:28:46 +0000 UTCI won't beg to differ, but a lot of people will disagree :)
2021-11-03 00:17:37 +0000 UTCyes
2021-11-03 00:15:47 +0000 UTCguess there are a lot of varying opinions. I don't speak japanese and yet i find sub way better than dub v.a. in any case death note has a good dub but far from imo better va in original form eg. L's va in dub for me was cringe af . and dub lovers will prefer L eng dub :P
2021-11-03 00:14:21 +0000 UTCI also prefer FMA in dubs)
Any0019
2021-11-03 00:13:16 +0000 UTCThe Death Note Dub is really good in my opinion. Subbed is good too, but I personally prefer the Dub on this one.
Daolord Badlands
2021-11-03 00:12:11 +0000 UTCThis is the only Anime I like the dub in at all, but sub is perfectly fine and valid.
aaronjd
2021-11-02 23:55:14 +0000 UTCDub people are always funny as hell. They always say "Dubs are usually bad but this one is actually good!" about every damn show. As someone that has watched sub+dub for quite a lot of shows at this point, dub voice actors are like 80% of the time worse than the sub ones, even in the shows that supposedly are "good dubs".
Dankster
2021-11-02 23:52:09 +0000 UTCnaruto, death note, cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, dbz, bleach, attack on titan ... they all have great dubs. i watch in subbed too but i'm not an uptight person with a stick up my ass
reina
2021-11-02 23:51:39 +0000 UTCDub is very clear and well rounded but really its up to preference
HoloKun
2021-11-02 23:48:17 +0000 UTCUnlike AoT, I believe Death Note has a good dub. I'd say do whichever you prefer for this one and don't leave it totally up to us since you can't really go wrong either way. I think some purists will choose sub no matter what, but sometimes the dub is worth it if it's good and it's easier for you.
Tucci
2021-11-02 23:48:09 +0000 UTCAt first i voted sub thinking of any other anime, but then i remember L's and Light's voice so clearly in dub after watching it so many times. For this Anime i would suggest to watch in Dub, for any other Anime i would say Sub.
2021-11-02 23:42:57 +0000 UTCNah, not always. Dubbed DBZ is awesome and I know the Death Note dub is good too. However, AoT absolutely deserves sub. Completely depends on the voice actors.
Tucci
2021-11-02 23:42:50 +0000 UTCBlack Lagoon, Cowboy Bebop, YuYu Hakusho, FMAB say hi
Deante
2021-11-02 23:34:43 +0000 UTCThe original is not always better. There are some exceptions like Black Lagoon dub that is definitely better than sub. Anime with the racially diverse cast tend to have better dub than sub imo.
Deante
2021-11-02 23:33:22 +0000 UTCNo matter what one says, unless someone makes a legitimate case for their preference and their audience is open to changing their minds, saying which version is better serves no purpose. As for Sub difficulties when reading, its a good point, but one could also make the case that its and opportunity to grow as English readers.
Alexander Juárez
2021-11-02 23:29:39 +0000 UTCWatch it in Serbian.
Merfhew
2021-11-02 23:20:37 +0000 UTCBoth are good
Legatus
2021-11-02 23:18:55 +0000 UTCmisa sounds much better in dub same goes for l
Jaqcues
2021-11-02 23:09:07 +0000 UTCdub is good for death note but still prefer the sub. tho it wouldnt matter personally either way what yall react to
Danny
2021-11-02 23:07:38 +0000 UTCBoth are great imo.
Carlos Hurtado
2021-11-02 23:01:38 +0000 UTC@dk 3x20 is really condensed and has tons of info, you're supposed to watch it twice at least
dasdasdasdas dasdasdas
2021-11-02 23:00:40 +0000 UTC@Viza Slight degrade? I wouldn't call it slight at all. More like can't even compare the two.
dasdasdasdas dasdasdas
2021-11-02 22:58:13 +0000 UTCI don't understand. How does listening to the dub gives them "time to process information" that reading the subtitles would not? I'm genuinely curious about what do you mean by that.
Nikodem
2021-11-02 22:58:01 +0000 UTC@dk everybody struggles with 3x20 lol, they still understood everything really well after talking through it with each other
ML9
2021-11-02 22:54:45 +0000 UTCTwo words for you. Cowboy. Bebop. But seriously though, Death Note is almost equally good Dub or Sub. I have watched the series through in both. Contextually, the Japanese Dub makes more sense, since the show takes place in Japan. As for missing stuff, I think it is clear that they both do a good job following along whether reading or listening in English. They're not likely to miss many details.
Sean Penn
2021-11-02 22:54:05 +0000 UTCim not saying they cant read obviously they can read, but it would be alot easier for them to understand and have time to process information when they are talking rather than having to read
Jaqcues
2021-11-02 22:52:26 +0000 UTCthey struggled with 3x20 quite a bit actually. She even mentioned she'd have to watch it with serbian subtitles.

Shawn
2021-11-02 22:49:35 +0000 UTCfor a dub it’s good, but still go with the sub.
Dylan
2021-11-02 22:49:32 +0000 UTCnah bruh the dubbed for death note is one of the best dubbed out there and i feel like most of this show is talking and information that but wherever wins the poll ig
BOBBY
2021-11-02 22:45:39 +0000 UTCLiterally everyone voting has seen Death Note. It's not surprising at all that the original is winning. How is the dub way better? Wat? Is this some meme comment?
dasdasdasdas dasdasdas
2021-11-02 22:45:39 +0000 UTChow will they miss information? they can read?
Gurido
2021-11-02 22:45:10 +0000 UTCThey take in everything perfectly fine with AoT. Plus they basically get to rewatch when editing
ML9
2021-11-02 22:44:25 +0000 UTClmao enough internet for today... no wait after Ep6
Mati D.
2021-11-02 22:43:55 +0000 UTCwould you rather have them miss info or a slight degrade in voice acting
Jaqcues
2021-11-02 22:42:15 +0000 UTCi mean that was not the case with aot but i do think death note dubbed is better than most dubbed out there
BOBBY
2021-11-02 22:41:42 +0000 UTCNever watch dubbed anime. The original is always better. A lot of characters are voiced by some of the best Japanese voice actors. (also L's english voice is really weird)
dasdasdasdas dasdasdas
2021-11-02 22:40:16 +0000 UTCboth are good but if u guys feel like its more comfortable not having to read and miss any info because of the subs going fast or something then go for dub with this one :)
Jaqcues
2021-11-02 22:38:59 +0000 UTCI would say that its always easier to get into a show when you speak the language
joshua
2021-11-02 22:38:37 +0000 UTCNot true. I've seen both and still prefer the sub. The dub is good, but as always, sub is better.
Maia Brodsky
2021-11-02 22:37:57 +0000 UTCDub people who saying that sub is to complex or sub is bad, needs to stfu and just vote. There is diffrence between having an opinion and leggit trashing sub because it has more votes. stop and grow up.
michaa
2021-11-02 22:37:40 +0000 UTCLol is that really how that works? In any case ppl are gonna express how they feel about something, in person and on the internet.

2021-11-02 22:31:15 +0000 UTC@K Vonnegut right lol
ML9
2021-11-02 22:30:32 +0000 UTCdamn the dub version is really good too
ReactorHero
2021-11-02 22:30:30 +0000 UTCPeople voting for sub haven’t even watched death note, death note is the only show in where the dub is way better than sun trust me. Sub makes the show so weak of emotion
Gustan
2021-11-02 22:29:48 +0000 UTCwtf is this bullshit
K Vonnegut
2021-11-02 22:27:53 +0000 UTCI’m saying this considering Milena had a hard time understanding the AOT ‘that day’ episode where they threw a bunch of info
Ran Nain
2021-11-02 22:26:22 +0000 UTCDeath note is very very complex, you will be lost with a lot of information to process if you choose Sub,
Dris
2021-11-02 22:24:12 +0000 UTCJust vote, no one asks y'all to debate. That's how democracy works
K Vonnegut
2021-11-02 22:22:23 +0000 UTCTry the first episode and the second episode either one DUBBED and other SUBBED... See which ones you like best!
EC
2021-11-02 22:18:34 +0000 UTCLook at it this way: unless you speak Japanese, the dub is better. When there's no real difference in quality go with the more native language. The voice actors for the main characters are superb in the dub.
Norrin Radd
2021-11-02 22:13:48 +0000 UTCDub is great in Death Note but my love is always with original voices.
Mati D.
2021-11-02 22:13:21 +0000 UTCDub = 80 % Immersion Sub = 100% Immersion 🤷♂️
Cobo
2021-11-02 22:13:20 +0000 UTChave you watched it dubbed?its one of the only anime imo that is amazing in both
BOBBY
2021-11-02 22:13:19 +0000 UTCI'd push for Dub, simply because imo, "It's good enough," and it seems like media is waaaaaay more easier for you guys to process when you don't have to read every line. Death Note is extremely plot-driven. If you missed something because the subtitles were going too fast, this is going to get confusing, real quick.
EspiOwnage
2021-11-02 22:11:57 +0000 UTCnot at all dubbed for death note is one of the best dubbed anime
BOBBY
2021-11-02 22:11:56 +0000 UTCI'd say dub personally, Death Note is the only show in which I prefer the dub over the sub actually
MarcoAHM
2021-11-02 22:09:18 +0000 UTCAOT Sub is better but Dub is better on Death Note but im fine with Sub as well
Crusher
2021-11-02 22:08:37 +0000 UTCIf you can honestly say it wasn't edited (or if LM can maybe prove it wasn't through edit history or something), then maybe I did read too fast and I'll apologize, I'm an adult and I'm not phased by anything you said lol
ML9
2021-11-02 22:07:28 +0000 UTC2/3 lead for sub -> "close call" xD
Slaizio
2021-11-02 22:04:55 +0000 UTCbruh death note dub is much better than others out their plus its a lot of information and talking most of the time but sub is prob gunna win
BOBBY
2021-11-02 22:04:22 +0000 UTCgo dub, it is very good for this show
Justin Sprouse
2021-11-02 22:02:54 +0000 UTCI'd prefer a dub for this one but since I've never seen subbed Death Note this could be a good opportunity.
Gorostas
2021-11-02 22:02:50 +0000 UTCDBZ is a classic, love it. Forgot to mention it but dubs with very few exceptions fail, it's understandable bc many voice actors work on cartoons -- so things like subtly aren't required and very few cartoons deal with serious subject matter, so bringing emotions that aren't over-the-top or comedic is a challenge. The final thing I'd say is that dub voice acting always sticks out, even If it isn't bad per say -- it just gets in the way of the story I'm trying to watch, it's distracting IMO.
Steven Jeanrolus
2021-11-02 22:00:22 +0000 UTCSince it’s close to call. I think you guys should take preference to what you like
Ran Nain
2021-11-02 21:59:35 +0000 UTCSub is better but Dub is one of the better dubs out for any show

2021-11-02 21:58:46 +0000 UTCSpoiler***************************************************************I wanted dub for episode 2 because of L

2021-11-02 21:55:25 +0000 UTCYeahhh you’re officially slow.. that’s what happens when you read too fast and try to project your own preference on somebody else. Imagine accusing someone of editing a comment after sounding stupid 😂 now run along my guy

2021-11-02 21:54:27 +0000 UTCI'll take this potato chip....
Christian Medeiros
2021-11-02 21:53:20 +0000 UTCJapanese voice actor are so talented, there's no way dub is better than original
ajoenpolvo
2021-11-02 21:52:45 +0000 UTCI think even Japanese people tend to watch FMAB in the Eng Dub.
Robert H.
2021-11-02 21:52:14 +0000 UTCActually, all dub voices are like nails on a chalkboard lol
Ivan Hundric
2021-11-02 21:50:39 +0000 UTCYes! FMAB, Vinland , erased. I hope if they keep doing reactions these shows can be watched by them and not action shonen.
Rigo Rojo
2021-11-02 21:49:26 +0000 UTCIt makes more sense for them to watch ep 1 in sub then rewatch ep 1 on their own in dub so it doesn't ruin their experience for ep 2 if they don't like it.
Ivan Hundric
2021-11-02 21:49:01 +0000 UTCOriginal Japanese is always better.
Ivan Hundric
2021-11-02 21:47:58 +0000 UTCI agree, it's better than most dubs, but still not better than the original
Ivan Hundric
2021-11-02 21:47:15 +0000 UTCHahaha, I'm pretty sure you edited your comment. I'm certain it was in favor of the dub when I replied. Nice job trying to make me look like an asshole though. How do I even sound like a "needy fanboy" there? It's just quote marks of how you sounded lol
ML9
2021-11-02 21:47:07 +0000 UTCGlad you guys went with a poll like I suggested! Sad that sub's gonna win, but fair is fair. However I will say if FMA gets picked in sub it's gonna be a shitshow lol.
EternalDragonX
2021-11-02 21:46:12 +0000 UTCI second the person who suggested watching ep 1 in sub and ep 2 in dub to see which you like more
dk
2021-11-02 21:44:35 +0000 UTCJapanese voiceacting is a world on its own. IMO usually the dubs pale in comparison with the emotions japanese VA conveys.
Franz
2021-11-02 21:44:07 +0000 UTC@Robert H. I was also surprised Vinland Saga didn't find it's way onto the poll. I saw a lot of us recommending it throughout that thread, and It's another anime I feel they would 110% love. With that said though, Death Note is like almost everyone's gateway into anime and it's really good so I'm still excited to watch along
ML9
2021-11-02 21:42:27 +0000 UTCSame. :(
Melkor
2021-11-02 21:41:52 +0000 UTCWell, it is an interesting point, I do not share it 100 percent, but it makes sense, especially with translations, when adapting with lipsync various intentions and character codes are lost
JoloPolo
2021-11-02 21:40:59 +0000 UTCUnfortunate that sub is winning. This is the only anime that I prefer the dub. Misa's Japanese voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, and L's voice is so good in english. Ryuk and Light are great in english as well. I alsoI feel like you'll miss less info if you watch the dub.
dk
2021-11-02 21:40:45 +0000 UTCI'm actually surprised sub is winning at this point (since I've always seen dub mainly preferred until now). Oh well, guess this will be an opportunity for me to watch DN completely in subs.
A
2021-11-02 21:40:21 +0000 UTCIt honestly depends on how you guys watch it, if you guys wanna talk and make comments while watching the show, then sub is preferred. That way you don't miss any important details the characters are saying without subtitles. With subtitles, even if you guys are talking and making comments, you can read what's on the screen and not miss details.
Apathetic Prodigy
2021-11-02 21:34:30 +0000 UTCIt’s pretty good imo for death note, and u can’t say all anime that’s shitting on some of the good ones like Nour said
Jordan
2021-11-02 21:33:49 +0000 UTCI vote sub even though I don't mind dub usually. But I tend to prefer Japanese audio if the setting is set in Japan. It just feels more natural and immersive.
Yic17
2021-11-02 21:32:36 +0000 UTCI think they are about equal I personally prefer the dub though
Cas_nc12
2021-11-02 21:31:41 +0000 UTCNah, liking something over another subjective, and everyone is free to prefer X rather than Y. But there we are talking about denaturing the original work, with all his codes and other things attached at the culture from where it was done. This is about respect. Once again, you and others can prefer a different language, this is your right, and no one can denied it. For exemple, I'm French, and we are lucky to have realy good voice actor, my best exemple is South Park, who is pretty godly with french dub, yet i will always watch it in VO 1st before re watching it in french later on. My point is that we should Always watch in original voice, so many things are also lost in translation, but for that, unless you know the language, you can't do to much expect reading things about it online. That what I'm trying to say, I don't intend at all to tell to people what to like over something, but to try to "educate", event if I'm not to fond of what this word imply, people on trying to be at least respectful to original work. Watching dub is a very English thing, and other big countries using worldwide used language, like French or Spanish, and I find this so sad to discover content in their original language. Lola & Milena, are neither of theses country and seems very open to the different culture, wich I link in them and that's why, I think they should not event have taken or preferences on this matter, and do like they always do, in VO.
Nezumis
2021-11-02 21:30:35 +0000 UTCThe dub is not better, it's just way (waaaay) better than the usual dub's on anime, but definitly not better than sub
Matías Macaya
2021-11-02 21:30:24 +0000 UTCI didn't understand that at all either. In the last poll, for example, Jujutsu Kaisen was there. That's not their show at all. That's like recommending Sailor Moon to my grim grandfather. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is practically made for them. And the fact that the anime short series Erased didn't even find a place in the poll.... The two are incredibly emotional when it comes to suffering characters. I would really like to see their reaction here. And Erased is also very high up in many top lists with FMAB.
Robert H.
2021-11-02 21:29:33 +0000 UTCThat is basically the only bad one in the dub all the others are good especially Ruyk and Light.
Melkor
2021-11-02 21:28:12 +0000 UTCSub. Japanese show so japanese voices
Edu MP
2021-11-02 21:26:42 +0000 UTCWhat are you talking about? The comment was clearly a neutral opinion you sound like a needy fanboy
Jordan
2021-11-02 21:25:47 +0000 UTCI suggest Episode 1 Dub then Episode 2 sub and see what you like. Dub Ryuk >>> Sub Ryuk though
BL
2021-11-02 21:25:13 +0000 UTCdub all the way! for context i highly prefer AOT in japanese, but death note, the voices are sooooo iconic in the english dub. like BRUH 😭 but either way is fine - choosing based on the poll will make the most people pleased :) hope you girls enjoy the show!
Rich
2021-11-02 21:24:10 +0000 UTCtotally! they would *love* FMAB. hopefully they can watch it after death note
Jafeth Díaz
2021-11-02 21:23:49 +0000 UTChonestly one of the few instances where either way is fine but id still say sub is better
Sebastian
2021-11-02 21:23:22 +0000 UTCWith FMAB, the dub is really better than the sub. And I'm in favour of the original dub for almost every anime.
Robert H.
2021-11-02 21:23:01 +0000 UTCI have the same feeling as you Sean like I’m fine with the sub I just love the dub for this show especially for the potato chip scene.
Melkor
2021-11-02 21:22:55 +0000 UTCSub! I forgot to add in my other comment, English Misa Misa is HORRIBLEEEE. I just remembered
The Quadfather
2021-11-02 21:22:48 +0000 UTCand some say dub was superior. LOL
2021-11-02 21:21:59 +0000 UTCI’m happy sub is winning but I really wanted them to watch FMAB. I could see them getting attached to the boys.
Rigo Rojo
2021-11-02 21:21:40 +0000 UTCBoth are great, honestly. But I slightly prefer some of the performances in the sub.
Mario Robledo
2021-11-02 21:20:45 +0000 UTCStarting with dub first 😎😎😎😂
Rich
2021-11-02 21:20:06 +0000 UTCSub. English Light is pretty good but English L is unconvincing
The Quadfather
2021-11-02 21:20:01 +0000 UTCWell, the patreons are their main source of income. I would also orientate myself more towards them.
Robert H.
2021-11-02 21:19:36 +0000 UTCSelfishly, I'm kinda saddened to see subs winning. I only watch your BCS reactions, typically on a second screen while I work - something I can't do with a subbed show. But again, I realize that's my problem. I'll just have to set aside a dedicated time to watch.
GhostCat
2021-11-02 21:19:32 +0000 UTCI really just went through several scenes: The main characters work very well in both. Sometimes I find the English version better, sometimes the Japanese version. With the dub, however, I noticed that the dubbing actors for the female side characters don't really match the original dubbing. Another thing in favour of the sub: the names. No series is more about names than this one, and reading them makes them easier to remember. Moreover, characters from abroad also appear in the series. Here I find it pleasant to hear an accent or simply the foreign language. In addition, as a reaction viewer, you can also read what was said in the scene, if you are talking about something. Edit: Forget everything I said. The chip scene in English is so much more awesome :D
Robert H.
2021-11-02 21:18:21 +0000 UTCAlso naruto and dbz dubs are good!
Nour Ariqat
2021-11-02 21:16:54 +0000 UTCSub
Isaac
2021-11-02 21:16:52 +0000 UTCThe dub is horrendous, except for Yu Yu Hakusho or Full Metal Alchemist, dubbed anime are very wooden and never deliver proper emotion or subtly. It almost always sounds like someone reading off a piece of paper. So yeah go with the Sub
Steven Jeanrolus
2021-11-02 21:15:47 +0000 UTCthanks people. thanks god sub is winning. is nice to be in the rigth side of this multiverse
Basti
2021-11-02 21:15:05 +0000 UTCCowboy Bebop and Death Note are 2 shows where the dub is better
Zana
2021-11-02 21:14:27 +0000 UTCSub all the way.
Kirsch Mackey
2021-11-02 21:14:26 +0000 UTCDo what your heart desires 😊
Ben C
2021-11-02 21:13:52 +0000 UTCThe dub is absolutely better for Death Note. Ryuuk's voice alone is enough to decide that.
Zana
2021-11-02 21:13:02 +0000 UTCMix it up. Be different, Why not?. Death Note has pretty good English actors, and sure translations can get awkward, but it still sells the story and builds engagement
JJ Walker
2021-11-02 21:12:21 +0000 UTCYou could watch one episode sub then re watch the first or watch the second dub
Scott Hutcheson
2021-11-02 21:12:06 +0000 UTCWhy? I mean, you are stating something that is subjective, in my case for example, I hate the original voices of Dragon Ball Z, I prefer a thousand times to hear an adult voice for Goku than an old woman
JoloPolo
2021-11-02 21:11:53 +0000 UTCThe dub is superior.
El Conquistador
2021-11-02 21:11:38 +0000 UTCI wonder what the poll would be if you did this poll on YouTube.
Melkor
2021-11-02 21:11:30 +0000 UTCThat's kind of how I feel. I personally am more familiar with it in English Dub. But I really have no major preference. So I'll just leave it for the others. That said, I really love the chip scene in English. Haha
Sean Penn
2021-11-02 21:11:30 +0000 UTCBoth sub and dub are good for this one, honestly. Anything works

Loco Logic
2021-11-02 21:09:17 +0000 UTCWatch the first episode in whatever version wins the poll. Then re-watch it with the other version and continue with whichever one you prefer. I do hope it's the sub though!

Melkor
2021-11-02 21:04:50 +0000 UTCThe dub is extremely good and it’ll be easier to understand I believe. I mean of course if it’s sub then I won’t mind but I do think the dub voices, especially for one of the characters, sounds great! Either way they’ll both provide good experiences
TK
2021-11-02 21:04:40 +0000 UTCSub because Ryuk
Niklas Bergwall
2021-11-02 21:04:33 +0000 UTCSub. end of story.
Jeff
2021-11-02 21:04:23 +0000 UTCThat is true. Most reactions on YouTube for this specific show are in dub for a reason it’s good.
Melkor
2021-11-02 21:04:15 +0000 UTCreally want sub to win, lights va is just way too good
z
2021-11-02 21:04:12 +0000 UTCI've seen both. It really doesn't matter they both are amazing. Sub matches their voices more in my opinion. Dub has some better executed scenes though. So pretty much whatever you decide it will be very good.

Sam
2021-11-02 21:03:37 +0000 UTCI prefer the dub but you should know since you often watch with subtitles on, the English subtitles often don't match what the dub VA is saying which can be very distracting.
the Forgiven
2021-11-02 21:03:36 +0000 UTCSub is slightly better but i think dub would be a lot easier for you guys to follow
2021-11-02 21:03:35 +0000 UTCMaybe in your circle of friends/people you know. I watched it subbed and so did my friends. Let people vote for what they want to vote for.
ML9
2021-11-02 21:03:31 +0000 UTCBoth sub or dub are actually really good in this anime. Don’t listen to these people or that poll forreal. That being said, you should watch what you feel more comfortable watching it in
Jordan
2021-11-02 21:03:21 +0000 UTCThis show is watched dub by most reactors because it’s actually good what’s wrong with people
Sergeant Jay
2021-11-02 21:03:13 +0000 UTCif you want authenticity from its cretors like most work of anime/cinema etc then go sub, if you like haviing american accents of characters living in tokyo japan joining the rest of english speaking natives who cant read english to enjoy a show then go dumb.i mean dub
2021-11-02 21:03:03 +0000 UTCLet me be clear, DUB is never and will never be better, some can be really good and to each their own, but the original is always better.
Nezumis
2021-11-02 21:03:02 +0000 UTCSub always imo. It was animated in that language and no matter how good the dub is, it can't capture the emotion exactly as intended.
