I grew up with DBZ dub but as an adult have watched some cool Sub titled shows. Kill la Kill and now Neon Genesis Evangelion. NGE I found the dub online after watching the sub and it sounds awful hearing american voices! I'm questioning watching the sub of Cowboy Bebop instead although I could watch the dub either one. The dub of NGE sounded weird coming off of just finishing the Sub version.

I like both :D
Subbed when :D there is a lot background noise, or im at a place where no sounds are allowed (or when no option is given)
Dubbed when to relax and lay back for it is a bit more passively :D

The voices of Spike differ a great deal. I got so accustomed to the Dubbed version that I had trouble watching the subbed version. I also read too slowly to keep up with the subbed version sometimes and also miss the action.

I don't really care for the most part. Except for 4kids dubs because I didn't enjoy their dubbed animes.

i prefer subbed. i even have watched live action subbed japanese films and tv shows.
i only do dubbed, when i'm not interested in reading, but i really wanna watch it. LOL
some days, you just don't feel like reading.

Dub is easier and you can enjoy the anime more

Sub only. English dubs make all characters sound like alvin & the chipmunks in the middle of a drug overdose and worse, they change the script and storyline completely on many occasions.
