Dubs vs Subs

[Sharpay]

First of all, there's nothing you can do about the fandom. Fans have nothing to do with the actual show, so please stop hating shows (ie Naruto) because you dislike their fandom.

Second of all, of course subs are better. You're seeing the show as the creator originally intended it to be seen.

The problem with dubs isn't just the lack of skill in voice acting (Japanese VAs go to school for that sort of thing, whereas American VAs can be just about anybody. Go watch a dubbed anime by 4Kids, and then watch a Disney Cartoon... I guarantee you the Disney Cartoon is better). The biggest problem with dubs is the changing of the sentences. First of all, you have to in order for what the character is saying to make sense in English. But then Americans who dub tend to change the humor to be more American, which in turn changes the character that's talking.

Like Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist for instance. In Japan, it's not said that the moon is made of cheese, so Ed complains that he's hungry while staring at the sky. In America, Ed says "Moon old buddy,I wish you really were made of cheese." That makes him sound like an idiot, and it's not in his character to speak with inanimate objects.

Dub < Sub, but that's not to say there shouldn't be dubbed versions at all.
