Dub or sub?

But the usual consensus is that the sub is always better. Why do so many suggest the dub in Cowboy Bebop's case?

Nostalgia

Because the dub is fucking good, why else?

While I agree with that original language is nearly always superior, Cowboy Bebop is a rare exception. Steve Blum's voice fits Spike so well, he perfectly captures the nonchalant, relaxed attitude that Spike has. Likewise Jet's VA is a perfect fit for him, as is Faye's.

Go listen to Spike's original VA and then the English dub. English sounds so much better.

>I only watch subs

wait so for a first time watcher which one is better then?

sub, because it’s a japanese cartoon and was made to be watched with japanese audio

The dub isn't godawful like modern dubs, but it's nothing special really, if you need to ask whether to watch the sub or the dub you don't belong here

Meant for

i mean normally i only watch subs but ive heard that this anime specifically has a better dub as an exception to the rule

As far as I'm concerned, Bebop and Cromartie are dub only.

Spanish dub el hermano

Steve Blum is the fucking man

Didn't the director straight up say he likes the dub better or am I misremembering

No, it's just a fake claim that dubfags keep circulating but have never provided any source for

Meh, I always went in raw for maximum enjoyment

oh boy it's this thread again

Dub if you want lines added or modified for no reason.

Why not play all languages and subs at the same time.

I fucking loathe the voices of American faggots and dykes in my glorious Nihonni animations.

even the jap creator prefers the dub.

50-50

It literally is that good. It's one of very, very few cases where the dub is just better the only other examples I can think of are Space Dandy and Hellsing Ultimate.

Shit, even the creator of bebop prefers the english dub.

second this. I've watched over 300 anime series and prefer all of them except Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the shell seasons dubbed. I've watched both subtitled but Cowboy Bebop is an amazingly rare exception of the English Voice cast stealing the show.
Dubbing took a nose dive off a cliff after the early 2000's.
It's now a fucking SJW and fat chicks acting like little girls shit show now. You can literally hear the "fat".

dubbed->subbed because I'm a fucking moron.

The only acceptable dub is the older Finnish dub of Tanoshii Mūmin Ikka.

I mean, it makes sense when you consider that most anime characters are teenagers and Japanese women are better at emulating teenage girls due to their culture. Dub of more mature anime with adult casts aren't bad at all.

Where and show proof

I never made that connection. Very good insight. Thanks user. That was fun.

>Steve Blum's voice fits Spike so well
I always thought he didn't fit at all. His voice and delivery completely changed my impression of Spike compared to the Japanese VA.

>Me?
>I prefer to watch whichever dub better fits the characters, dub or sub

Shopped

Japanese dub with Japanese subtilitles

Why is 4channel obssesed with this guy?

This

>why are shitposters obsessed with shitposting material?

based and bipilled

This. The contrast is even clearer when you have mature characters and child/childlike characters in the same cast.
Take Steins;Gate for example. Mayuri's voice is your typical dub cringefest while the other characters, including Kurisu, sound just fine. Childishness works in Japanese, but it's absolutely verboten in English, at least when you have adult VAs.
That, in combination with the cast's talent, is why Cowboy Bebop's dub works so well

Sub. Dub is too affected and unnatural, same as always, though less bad. I don't know why people make an exception for Steve Blum. In no way, shape or form is the dub better.
He doesn't do English very well. If this is true, his opinion doesn't matter much anyway.

>it was made to be read while unintelligible sounds issue from the characters’ mouths
Lol ok

Black Lagoon?

Both dubfags and subfags are plebs. Patricians watch raws.

Patricians don't watch anime.

>gigachad
>not playing both audio tracks at the same time
What kinda joke is this?

What if I liked both?

English is not my first language so whenever people say the dub sounds better and I give it a try it just clashes against my ears. That doesn't happen with cartoons.
