-Naw, don't be sorry. M'self, I always like to see different peoples opinions on this. However, I think it would be a good idea to make this thread a sticky so people can come here to see who prefers what whenever they want.
Me, I generally prefer subs. Usually, the English voice actors just simply don't carry the same emotional quality and depth of performance as the Japanese ones. Plus, I love to listen to Japanese speech (I plan to start taking classes in Japanese next spring because the language interests me so much).
Although, I am not one of the people that Misty described as "one or the other". There are some dubs I find that I can tolerate if necessary (Trigun), and two in particular that strike me as being quite good (Cowboy Bebop and Hellsing, although I have only seen Disc 1 of Hellsing. I actually find that I prefer to watch the English dub of Cowboy Bebop. It's just an incredible performance on the part of the VAs).
So, my position is that I prefer subs 99% of the time, but I am willing to give a dub a fair chance.
Although, there will always be some dubs that make me want to just tear my ears off to avoid listening to them (Saber Marionette J and Neon Genesis Evangelion.)
