Bomberman Jetters is a really good anime, there's no way that a dub would do it proper justice- I don't want them to ruin a good thing.

What is so wrong with dubbed anime, must I ask? Why do people almost always prefer to read what the characters say rather then understand them by actullay hearing what they are saying? To me, having to read while watching an anime completely defeats the purpose of watching an anime. If your going to read what's going on anyway, why not just read a manga instead? I always find subbed anime to be just annoying to watch. In my opinion, having to read what the characters say really takes away from the emotion and feel of it all. Plus dubbed anime isn't always that bad, sometimes the voice acting is actullay very good and suit the characters really well and most of the anime I've seen have faithfully kept the story behind it in tact.

Am I saying all dubbed anime is good? Of course not, just look at everything 4kids dubbed. Am I saying all subbed anime sucks? Absolutly not. My point of this whole little rant is that people should stop whining about these things without any real reason. It just gets really annoying having to hear the same biased stuff all the time with only the "lawls dubs suxxors subs r way beta" argument going on to back it up.

I'm sorry if I sounded mean or anything, I just wanted to make a point regrading that whole subject. I realize that some people prefer subs over dubs for one reason or another, that's not what I'm commenting about. I'm commenting over the fact that these people seem to trully believe that a particular anime they watched and enjoyed subbed would be entirely ruined and butchered if it was dubbed sometime afterwards.
Well as someone that studies japanese, and having watched anime for many years- I particularly dislike american dubs of japanese anime. American animated shows had voices that went along with them, which is how it was originally meant to sound. But pretty much any anime I've seen, if you have the dvd version and you switch the voices over to compare from japanese to english dub- it's unbarable to listen to and it completely ruins the anime. I prefer reading instead of listening to something like that, it definitely doesn't take you away from the experience of it. Even though I understand a great deal of japanese now and can watch Raws of the episodes understanding 90-95% of it, I still didn't mind reading back when I didn't know any japanese. And I still don't mind reading for parts I don't understand, and actually prefer it- not feeling like reading is just a lazy americans perspective view on the situation imo.
