How do you like your anime?

what is shonen and what is shoujo?

I don't mind watching dubbed anime, as long as the dubbers are experts in their field, not like those from Animax. One example is their dubbed version of the Getbackers. That really sucked, especially towards the end of the series. As for genre, I'm not that picky. As long as the plot and graphics manage to get my attention, I'm fine with just about anything.

I'm one of those rare folks who actually enjoys the dubs over the subs. I have trouble keeping up with subtitles, and I either pay attention to the subs or what's happening on screen. So dubs are my choice. And I've only encountered a handful of dubs I didn't like, most of which are older. Of course, if all that's available are fan subs, I'll make do. As for genres, I don't have a preference. I'll watch anything that catches my eye, though I'm not a fan of mecha. If the art is good and the story is good, the genre doesn't much matter.

I have noticed that although i dont really favor one over the other I find that if i start watching an anime that is either dub/sub and then change to the other half way through i will always prefer it the way i first saw it, wether it be sub or dub As for type i go for comedy first, but i will normally watch anything :)

Well, I always prefer the original Japanese dubs over English dubs. It doesn't matter if they have subs or not. I'm one of those lucky guys who aren't Japanese that understands spoken Japanese quite well. =) But there are some titles that I really enjoyed watching dubbed (Chobits, Mononoke Hime, Full Metal Panic). As for genres, I prefer Slice of Life anime over any other anime genre. =) Miyazaki films are the best.

I think that the whole Dub/Sub thing is a preference over what you watch first. If you watch subs first, the dubs will sound awkward. However on the rare occasions that you end up watching dubs first, in my case I watch DragonBallz and the digimon series in dub, I ended up liking the dub and hating the sub version. Usually I watch Japanese with Subtitles. I honestly like Shonen, Josei, Seinen, and Shoujo, which pretty encompasses all the genres out there. Great to meet another fellow shonen fangirl :P. Ah there are two series that I think did a pretty good job with the dub, Lucky Star and Haruhi Suzumiya, I enjoyed watching the English version of both shows.

I enjoy subs that dubbed. I once even downloaded full episode of the gate keepers but when I saw that it's already dubbed I quickly deleted it.. lolz.. Most of the time, dubs doesn't show the right meaning or thoughts of the anime itself.. I like watching reverse harem animes, shoujo anime and a couple of shounen anime. I have thousands of manga as well. I'm not currently into tsubasa chronicles..

I prefer subs over dubs. But if I don't have a choice then dubs are fine, just it felt weird though. I can stick to any genres. Though deeper themes can get me confused but reruns can get me catch up with the story in no time.

Well surely it should be japanese dubs and english text.

I don't have a preferred genre.. some genres present exceptional animes, and excellence is excellence, so I still watch it. I watch everything, whether shoujo, sjoujo ai, shonen, shonen ai, shota/loli, mecha, henshin - everything - except hentai. It never appealed to me.

I really don't like english dubs just because they sound so tacky... I can watch without subs if I wanted to as I understand japanese but as my husband can't understand japanese we get subtitled ones instead. And I like shounen jump titles best I think, I did grow up reading Nakayoshi but now they seem a bit too soppy for me lol I like action very typical shounen jump like bleach and stuff
