I recently just started watching anime and can't do without dubs like spartanomega

The thing is many anime's are much more deep and mature than your run of the mill cartoons.

I do know people who love seeing things in Japanese and import JRPG games to play Japanese VA.....I don't get that because I can't bear to play in something thats not the language I'm used to. I don't get why people do that, do they like to live in an illusion where the Japanese VA is oscar level voice acting even though they don't understand a single percent of it?

And calling one-sel "Darth-San.....or Darth-Senpai" or Darth-kun or whatever online is social suicide in my eyes, I'll never do that.

But I will continue to kiss the ground Kojima-San walks on

I can't personally understand how someone watchs anime with dubs. Original VA ftw.  Even worse is when I heard that they even dub hollywood movies in Germany, France etc. WTF? Jack Nicholsson with german VA...eh? Thank god that here in Finland only kids cartoons get dubbed. Everything else is subbed. Maybe that's why I don't have any problems withs subs as I have watched tv and movies with subs whole my life...It's just feels so weird that you watch for example french movie with english dub or Hollywood movie with French dub.. It really kills the athmosphere around the movie. Same with anime. I think it's nice to hear all kind of languages and see the show how it was meant to be watched. And say what you say but there are some anime characters that I really just can't imagine with English VA. They have so unique and amazing Japanese VA.

I personally hate anime. I can't stand it to be honest. I even hate Japanese video games other than stuff that is well adapted like the Final Fantasy games. I haven't been able to watch the cartoons, play the video games, or anything else. Its all just.. really odd to me.

On a side note, I do and always will love DBZ. 

Nope, I might give it a go eventually. I'm watching High School of the Dead and Samurai Champloo right now, so it might take a while.

For crying out loud... Help the dude...

Buy him a pillow...

i watch Anime in japanese too, because the Dubs are the most believable, since their Voice acting is, even if you dont get what they say, just the best. If there is someone sad in this Anime, you hear it, while the English (or even worse the european) Voices just 'dont care', or at least they sound like that. 

But of course i read english subtitles, otherwise it wouldnt make sense. (:

DBZ is an anime, which means you like some sort of anime, but you obviously haven't looked around for shows similar to DBZ. DBZ is great, but in comparison to animes of similiar styles, it falls behind. 

The word odd is the problem with anime, it needs to lose that description, especially when it's only a minority of really popular anime that is actually odd. 

Good now you will understand the awesomeness of MUGEN :P

But how is it believable if you don't get what they even say?

I lose immersion if I need to look at the bottom of the screen to see the subs....your focus from whats happening on the screen wavers 

It's weird, but after watching so many subbed animes, I can understand what the characters are saying and what's going on, I can't speak Japanese, but I can understand it much better than I should.  I've also gotten into the habit of glancing at the sub for like half a second between lines. I prefer dubs, but some dubs are so awful, that it's a relief to just watch the subbed versions.
