What is everyone's preference Subbed or Dubbed?
I watch both but will usually watch the dubbed version if it's available

Subbed as a purist way of watching it. Best in the original language.
Dub has had a bad rep for so long but now there are decent budgets for lip syncing and VA (even if it’s the same handful of them doing the voices).
Also if you think this is a Western only debate, Japan has the same arguments when it comes to watching King of The Hill either sub or dub. Why KoTH? God knows but it’s a pretty American 🇺🇸 cartoon
Subbed. Bonus points if you can't get subs in your native language and have to use subs in a language you are still learning and stop every 5 mins to check up words in the dictionary XD (yes this was me in college....)
Did it help with learning?
It did! I got a lot of my English vocabulary from movie subtitles, books and game texts, things which they didn't teach us in school.

Subbed.
This is the way.
A lot of anime I watch/watched doesn't have dubs in the first place so... subbed or subbed.
