Subtitles vs Dubbing : What do you prefer?

What do you prefer while watching movies of languages you don't understand?

Subtitles even though they aren't always accurate. But dubbing kills the essence of a movie.

I like subtitles in a sense you can hear the language/accent which makes the shows look and sound authentic! .... Tho subtitles also mean you miss out on many frames and details of a scene, which I HATE! ... 😭 ... It's a lose/lose situation ... 😭 ... One of the reasons I like to watch Animes in their dubbed version!

subtitles, but jab options nahi hota toh kiya kaare.

Dubbing as reading subtitles distract me

I prefer dubbed Anime

Dubbed Telugu movies

Subbed English Films

Subtitles.

That said , i want dubbed version when I want to show South movies to family , unfortunately they only dub trash masala movies like theri etc , most good movies still don't have them after 3-5 years.

Dubbing, because you can pay attention to the scene, body language and it keeps the nuances of the lines. A good dubbing artist makes it worth the watch

In sub titles, they are literal translations so loose the essence of scene/ reaction and at times don't make sense, they are incomplete, they are distracting from the scene. At times they run too fast.

Depends on the content.

In case of anime , dubbed . In case of South movies, dubbed versions. In case of European languages other than English, subtitles.

Subtitles any day Except when family is also watching.
