having watched a fair bit of anime, i do not see what you mean by high pitched voices. Yes, DBZ would be a example where this applies, but 90% of the time it does not. Maybe it's because i am a native german speaker and have a different "feel" for language because of it.

I think a lot of people forget that men in Japan sound like men, just because of the annoying Japanese VAs.

Picture not entirely related.

For me personally I enjoy dubs a lot more.The japs all sound pathetic to me and I cant take them seriously.

I agree all the way, also it's just easier to pay attention and look at the animation instead of switching from the bottom of the screen to the top.

Dragon Ball is a poor example though since the characters are all voiced by women in Japanese

This could be because the beefed out super saiyan-strongest-man-in-the-fucking-universe is voiced by a woman.

Japan for some reason has this inclination to have women voice male voices, in most cases they nail it...in some (like DBZ) they fail miserably.

I strongly prefer subs to dubs but the subs for DBZ made my ears bleed.

Sometimes there are voices that are too high pitched but most of the time it's fine.
I don't like dub because it's usually voices by way too few people and characters have same voices.

PSG was pretty good dubbed.

Cowboy Bebop.

Gurren Lagann's dub is amazing

It really captured the feel better with the English voices than with the whiny japanese ones

With a show as passionate as TTGL, you really need a variety of passionate voices, unlike bland Japanese ones.

I second that.

Naruto Shippuden, cause teenagers should sound like teenagers and old men wanting to be teenagers

Yu-Gi-Oh

Full Metal Alchemist

I'm not big on anime so that's all I know

Nah. Fma brotherhood was pretty neat in sub.

No denying that, I'm just saying dub is better

FMA still has a really good dub that a lot of people who watched it on TV would prefer

Don't forget about Ghost in the Shell

Also, the subbed version has the old piece of shit sound track. Remastered Bruce Faulconer Soundtrack ftw

one piece 4kids dub is terrible

I liked the 4kids intro though

FMA and FMA:B has a good dub

I prefer one pieces dub as well.

Fooly Cooly has a better dubbing

love this show

yeah, generally subbed > dubbed, there are very few exceptions and DBZ is at the top of that short list. I think Vandread is another one that is just way better in english, mostly because they went all out on the voice actor casting and got a lot of big names.

Some shows actually nail the deeper voices a hell of lot better in Japanese than in English. By a noticeable margin too...

Gif unrelated

sauce?

Yeah like Zoro in One Piece. I watch it subbed because his voice fits the character very well.

I get the distinct feeling you draw your stick figures with a magic marker.

That face? That fat upper body? Not fine at all.
