How do you prefer to watch you anime? Dubbed or with Subtitles?
Personally I prefer to watch my anime with Subtitles and the original Japanese audio. American VA's just sound horrible to me. They don't seem in character. Maybe it is because I have watched the show with the original VAs and the Eng VAs (of the same series) just don't compare in quality.
Miyazaki movies are different though since Disney dubs them. They do a pretty good job. I could watch subbed or dubbed versions of his movies.

I also prefer subs for the reasons you mentioned. The original seiyuu also tend to have much more emotion in their voice; in addition, dubbed voice actors have a tendency to mangle Japanese words/names horrendously.
I do agree about Ghibli movies, though! I can watch them either subbed or dubbed, as well. [/sup]

I voted subbed also.
Though I think it's good that there are also dubbed versions available; it's able to reach a wider audience that way. Also, I know people who absolutely cannot watch anything with subtitles, they say it's distracting (I think secretly they suck at reading.. xP). It has it's place and I'm glad more people are exposed to anime because of its presence.

Not gonna lie... I love it dubbed! I like it dubbed so hard... I'll just end that though there.
I don't have time to watch tv, so I only watch tv when I am doing something else, so reading subtitles while quilting is just not going to cut! I'm a lazy anime watcher! I'm okay admitting that.

Haha, I dunno if lazy is the word to use. Considering the amount of quilts you've been cranking out.

I devote time to watching anime. I make sure I ain't doin nuthin' and sit back and enjoy.
I multi-task during regular American television programming.

I multi-task when I watch anime. Wait. Does eating while watching anime count?

I'm always like doing homework, or quilting, or dying stuff. I guess I am just really busy. The only show I will sit down and watch just to watch is 30 Rock!!
