Sword Art Online S1 - Dub vs Sub

[Miaki 0]

Okay we all can agree that for the most part subs are better than dubs when it comes to anime. Whether this is because we like the way the Japanese language sounds (that would be an interesting study...... #LinguisticStudent) or we are so used to hearing a show in Japanese when it finally comes to English it never seems right. So what I want to know is, which do you like better and why. Also mention what you like about both of them if you can.

I personally have yet to get around to watching the entire series in English and have only gotten as far as episode 3 or so. So I can't say which is best but I definitely like who they chose to voice act Klein. From day 1 I knew they nailed him. He captures the role of being a gamer and how we act and talk.

What are your thoughts?

Hmm, its hard to say. I personally feel there is a lot more emotion in the Japanese Dub versions, but we can all agree its easier to watch an anime in Japanese dub; but lets be honest, I bet all of us are fairly used to reading subtitles and watching an anime, and wouldn't be bothered by either or.

So in the end, I'm going to have to say Japanese Dub for emotion, but there is certainly nothing wrong with English Dub.
