Does anyone else literally only watch dubbed anime?

no. you are gay.
Gavin Phillips
Yeah? Why would I watch stuff not in my own language? Don't tell me you fell for the subs meme.
Adam Davis
Sometimes I fear the dub industry will die and I won’t get to watch anime anymore.
Kevin Baker
Dubbed anime doesn’t feel nice to listen to. I don’t know if it’s just harder for me to pick out a meh Japanese performance, or something else. Bad dialogue isn’t as evident when you’re reading it and not understanding.
Robert Sanders
No, I occasionally watch silent anime.
Noah Miller
I do if I can. There isn't much point in watching it subbed, unless you like to pretend you're japanese. I'm not much into roleplaying
Adam Turner
I was watching Toradora and the voice of Taiga in nip was annoying so I switched audio tracks just to see and it was surprisingly good in English.
Oliver Perez
Can't make it past 10 seconds of any dub, what's wrong with these people?

This. Not even necessarily "bad" stuff, but anything remotely cheesy usually becomes cringe worthy when dubbed.
Robert Jones
what the fuck is wrong with you

Personally there is something about American accents in anime that just feels wrong.

I only watch dubs if it was a series I watched as a kid.

I can tolerate dubs if it's like a weird joke dub or an older English dub that actively changed a lot of shit, because it ends up feeling like a totally different experience and so you can just take it as it is instead of constantly comparing it to the Japanese version.
When a dub feels like the cast is just reading the subtitles but in English, something about it feels cringey compared to just watching it in Japanese. I've seen some anons say "that's because the original material is cringey and hearing it in your first language makes you more aware of it," and that might be kinda true, but more than that I think a lot of dubs trying for accuracy just feel too literal/stilted in a way that dubs that aren't trying for strict accuracy don't.

No. The only time I watch dubs is if it's generic garbage #7635 that I put on while eating and I need to look at my plate sometimes so I can't read subs.
