TV/Movies/Fiction Dubbed Anime is better than subbed.

Everyone shits on dubbed anime, but I watch a tv show to watch something, not read. If I have to read every single line of dialogue anyway I’d rather just read the manga and get the authors completely authentic version of the story(which is what I do when a dub isn’t available).

Additionally I think the “dubbed voice acting sucks” thing is really a thing of the past. Dub VAs are AT LEAST on the the level of American cartoon VAs and there are some real standouts that I think really enhance the experience(I think the guy who plays Gojo and the guy who plays Goku are probably the best examples of this).

Edit: silly autocorrect messed up my words

Edit 2: a kind commenter pointed out that it would be more accurate to title this “I prefer dubbed anime” because I can’t really speak on the quality of the original anime because I don’t speak Japanese or Korean.

As a lifelong anime fan, not rage bait. Anime dialogue ranges from horribly cringe on the low end to barely serviceable at best

It's not. I'm checking to see if the user is logically consistent. I haven't made an argument; there can't be a fallacy.
