Late but: every once in a while I actually prefer the dubs. But that's maybe 1 out of 10. BTW... is MSN down right now? AIM and YIM work, but it won't let me login.

Last time this happened, I just had to get a new account. I've never been able to get back into my old account. Think it got hacked? ;3;

I'd say "yes."
Because some anime voices can be REALLY annoying in either circumstance.
Naruto for instance; I first watched it dubbs only; when I heard the English voice, I was just like.. No.
I thought the Japanese voice fit perfectly for Naruto's character and that the English just seemed miss-matched.

I prefer the subs myself, but eh... to each their own.

Some anime dubs are quite good, and I don't mind listening to them. Others... well... suck. And result in immediate switch to Japanese w/ subtitles.

It varies. For example, I prefer the dub of Hellsing Ultimate of the sub without question, while for Slayers I prefer subs more.

I couldn't vote because what I wanted to say wasn't there.

It depends. I've seen the entire Inuyasha series in English, but when I watch them on DVD, I watch with subtitles, because really, the translations often leave something to be desired. Not only that, but often, the Japanese VA's are MUCH better.
On the other hand, I kinda enjoy some of the English VA's, like Bleach's (well, most of them).

So sometimes I will watch in English, most of the time, not. I give everything a chance, because absolution is retarded.

I like to give them a chance to do it decently and watch it if it is done well, but they don't exactly make it easy, some moreso than others however...
