Why do people hate dubs?

People often say that Anime dubs often suck, and to be honest, I have to disagree. I've watched many dubs, and they can be good.

With dubs, I can... oh, I don't know, UNDERSTAND what they're actually saying. But with subtitles, I have to read.

...yeah, if I want to read, I'd just grab Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park off of my book shelf, flip to the scene where the Tyrannosaurus escapes, and start reading.

Most of the best dubs I've watched are da Funimation. If te really want good Anime dubs, te can find some of their work on Netflix (I'm currently watching their dub of El Cazador de la Bruja).

The only bad dubs I've watched were the 4Kids dubs of One Piece and Dragon Ball Z Kai, and even then, that doesn't make 4Kids a bad dubbing company (just watch their dub of Dinosaur King. They can make some damn good stuff when they actually use their brains).

Give me a few GOOD reasons (and I DO mean good) why I should even consider watching subtitled Anime over dubs.

I can understand that, but I've seen people express SO much hate for dubs, it isn't even funny.

We just get annoyed when Americans butcher the names cuz of the dubs that's all

Butcher the names? te mean when they sometimes change the original japanese names? So far, the only Anime I've see that's done that is Sailor Moon (and that mostra was awesome).

I could care less about dub o sub really, but some dubs don't even match what was actually detto in the original Japanese version. They might change a few lines o names of cities etc. It's usually done in a way that an english viewing audience can understand.

Ya might not be a fan of Powerpuff Girls Z but that mostra is a huge example of this. The original Japanese version had them defending Tokyo, while the English version placed them in a city called New Townsville.

From what I've heard, that mostra was dubbed da Ocean. They aren't really the best when it comes to dubbing, so I expect them to change one o two things.

Ugh, I noes. I've seen so much hate on dubs. Pretty sad really.
I much rather watch in dub. I wanna be able understand and watch what's going in stead of having to quickly read what's at the bottom and miss most of it anyway.
The voices are not even bad. But I've seen people act so over the superiore, in alto on how much they hate them. Hate they don't even deserve.

The japanese voices match the character personalities and have più feeling put into them. The subtitles are really worth it!! I can only watch 2 Anime dubbed, Inuyasha and Chrono Crusade. I always go subbed, and at our local Anime club we all vote on subs even the host does so we always watch subs they are much better!! Even my brother in college does!!

Personally I like dubs very much, but I suppose its like the difference between Leggere a book and then the movie based on the book. I already have an image of what that character is like, and if they butch it in the movie then te start to prefer the books.
Translated metaphor: I Amore dubs so what they did with Hiei from YYH made me a bigger fan, but what they did with Naruto practically hurt my feelings. Naruto is one of my fav characters so I looked past his jap voice, but the english dub actually made me WANT the subs some of the times...
But I'm too lazy, and I Amore Shikamaru Nara and Sasuke's voices too much to go back to the subs.
BEST DUBBED ANIME---- Soul Eater
WORST DUBBED ANIME--- ONE PIECE
It's a good thing we just have several different choices of the same thing...

I like dubs I'll watch anything in dubbed is just that sometimes when I'm watching a dub Anime sometimes I'll hear the voices aren't really good it doesn't fit the characters o their personalties..so yeah, I don't hate sub anime's it's just most of the time I won't bother Leggere subtitles because I really don't feel like Leggere so I'll just watch dub anime.in my opinion I like dubbed animes but I like both dub and subs at the same time but I think I like dubs more

Well, some are not that good but I prefer to understand what they are saying. Subs are such a pain to me. I HAD to watch Vampire Knight in subs cause I couldnt take the dubbs. Sorry. And te can prefer subs because
1. It orginal
2. The dubbed voices are not good.
yay for netflix!
Code Geass dubs were very impresive. Most of the time I dont like a voice but not with that. (or darker than black.) But, I have netflix so yeah.
