Self explanatory.
Which do you prefer and why?
I prefer Dub myself.
That way I don’t have to read, I can just listen.
Plus, some English Dub is hilarious.
What about you?

[i]It depends on the Anime I suppose. What version I watch first also kind of informs my opinion. Once you’ve gotten used to certain cast of characters sounding a particular way, it’s hard to hear them being voiced by someone else. So, with a lot of shows from my youth ( Cowboy BeBop, Trigun, Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist, Dragonball Z, etc ), I’m used to the English dub performances, and everything else sound weird. A lot of the more modern show that I watch though are strictly subtitled. While we are on the subject of Evangelion, I really, really [b]HATE[/b] what Netflix did with English dub of that show. I grew watching that show, and the original English dub performances are so iconic that it turned a lot of its voice actors into house hold names ( in the anime industry ). For me to watch that show again on Netflix, and hear different voices and performances coming out of those characters mouths, it just feels very, very wrong. It’s very similar to the general public’s reaction to Crystal Dynamics Avengers game was shown at E3.[/i]
