I love the original Japanese audio and I prefer it however it's nice sometimes to not have to read subtitles and focus more on the episode than the subs at the bottom of the screen.

i know what you mean..its not that i cant focus on both..XD..its just that when in english language i can really completely focus on the characters and stuff and its nice not having to read text..that is if the english dub are good..alittle offtopic: like in FB the english dub are actually better than the japanese one..and Ukitake in bleach..his english voice are amazing..

I've watched both, subbed and one straight off the TV for the dubed. And to tell the truth I never really found a difference. the Voice acting on the English dub was done really well and i found it suited the characters. I loved L's and Light's voice :P They seemed perfect for the character.

I've seen DN in both dub, and sub. The dub wasn't bad, but I still like the sub more.

I've watched both, but only a few episodes of Death Note on dub. I've never been a fan of dubbed anime, so I prefer the one with English subs better. I think it's because it doesn't take the 'feel' of the anime whatsoever.

Always subbed. Can't enjoy it if it's dubbed, even if they are done good. I'd rather watch a really poorly subbed version, than a good dubbed one. (Talking about anime generally, not just DN)

No idea why, but the feeling is different. The original is made in Japanese, so I want it that way. It's like something else that's translated, it's never as good as the original. Subtitles are okay, but never as good as really listening to what they say. I don't understand Japanese yet, though, so the subs are only to help me understand.

I always prefer subs over dubs. When I went to go see the first Death Note film in the theater, they used the American voice actors... which didn't seem right to me. It was very un-natural to see people of Asian decent talking in an American accent. It would've been way better sub-titled. It took a lot away from the film. The only one that seemed natural was Ryuuk and it was because he was CG generated.
