    If there is a dub then I go for that, but if there isn't a dub or the dub is terrible, then I watch it in Japanese with english subs.

    Japanese without question. I have heard one good dub, ever. Subs ftw.

    Then again, I watch normal English things with subs on, so...

    Edit: And no, I don't have trouble hearing. =P I'm just THAT hardcore.

    Depends, most of the time the dubbing is awful, I'd choose Japanese if thats the case. Some anime ( usually of high status ) have great dubbing as if im lazy, I'd go with English dubbing.

    English. I can't stand having to look at subtitles and miss out on the images.

    You're supposed to watch it with your head tilted, so that one eye reads the subtitles while one eye is watching the images.

    Japanese. Whenever I watch a movie I always watch it in its original language with Danish subtitles of course. A movie is always better in its original language because then the performances of the actors are the way they're supposed to be, instead of mimiced by someone else.

    Not everyone in the world sees English as their first language. Yes people do speak it, but it does rank as a second in some countries, maybe even thrid in others. Anime and manga is created in Japan, so naturally it would be in their native tongue before being altered fro other countries.

    English is the national language... in America. In other places, not so much. Internationally, it was French, but it's definitely becoming English. But that doesn't mean each nation won't speak their own language.

    Anyway, Japanese with English subs is what I usually do. The voice acting is generally better.
