Death Note Poll

I have a question guys, is anyone available?

I’ll accept the sub here, but you have to throw the dub folks a bone at some point with a good series. In my opinion either FMAB or My Hero. Both of those dubs are very good

You know no good Dubs, no one knows any good Dubs. "vinland saga"

What's important is leaving subtitles on either way. But you both know that already. We like to hear your commentary during the shows, and you don't want to miss important dialogue. (I liked the dub *very* much. Same with AOT. I don't know Japanese - like the huge bulk of non-Japanese anime fans - and I want to enjoy the art. Unless the dub is bad, I don't understand wanting to watch it with subtitles if you're watching on your own. But like I said, it's important for you both to use subtitles being you're a reaction channel and you don't want to miss anything.)

Dub…….

SUB for two reasons It's better voice actors and you'll be able to speak throughout the show while watching the subtitles. The second one is the most important one for me, Death note is not a show you wanna miss subtitles on.

waiting like pablo day 2.....

I understand that the dub is really good, but the sub is just perfect. As someone who watched both versions i can say that the sub is far superior. Every show should be watched in its original language, sometimes the dub can be really good but it will never be better than the original.

The voice acting is so much better in dub for this series so vote dub everyone

Why would people prefer to watch dub, when it has wrong translation on some of the dialogue?

If you’re a native English speaker, you can understand the show a lot more with dub because you can focus on tone of voice, and other details shown in the scenes themselves. You also can’t really miss any of the dialogue

Dub is decent, but the voice acting in the sub is just 10/10 perfect. Again though, its a decent dub. Just simply not as good and riveting as the sub. Its not FMAB where the dub easily outshines the sub (if you guys ever watch it, it has to be dub! Legitimately the best dub to ever exist. Its far better than sub.) Some series are a must watch dub, and i just dont think death note is one of them. It's a decent dub though. 👌 Better than sub though? No

WHY ARE PEOPLE VOTING SUB BRO

of course it is thx goodness

Can't believe sub is winning

like pablo on a chair

waiting ep 1.........

Voted sub, but I would be fine with dub either way.

The dub is actually really good for this series

after the first part of attack on titan finishes, will you watch Demon Slayer? :(

English dub is good but why watch it, you watch french or russian movies in dub too? No way. It doesn't make any sense why even watch anime lol. but that's just my opionion duuuuuude

The dub is good, one of the better ones, and this from someone that always prefers the subs in all my anime. BUT the acting in this one is too good on the Japanese side. It's a classic to be seen first in the original language, there is no comparison, Mamoru Miyano delivers one of the most iconic performances of one of the most iconic characters in all the history of anime.

NEVER WATCH DUB

Forget the poll honestly lol. If there was ever a time YOU guys wanted to watch an anime dubbed, this show and a couple others are the perfect ones to do it with. The "Sub is always better/Sub ONLY" biased anime crowd will always vote that way regardless of the Dub or how great the quality is. So yeah, the poll is kinda pointless lol. If anything try both :)

The voice acting in the dub is good but the translation misses out on a lot of nuances. Won't say what they are here for spoilers, but the sub is the best way to go.

Sub is great for these two as they fully get into the show in their reactions, unlike most reactors. The sub gives them 100% immersion as that is how the director wanted it and not an American interpretation.

I know sub is winning but I think dub is such an enjoyable experience for death note, I really hope you end up watching it in English.

I can live with the sub here if the dub is watched for FMAB and MHA. I think dubs just work better for reactions tbh

I prefer the sub, but if you go for the dub, it's fine too.

Experience the divinity of Miyano Mamoru in subs. Him alone makes the sub better by miles. 🥲

One of the few animes I really enjoy in dub but sub is fine too!

I’m disappointed in yall :/ the dub is MUCH better and normally I watch sub

Dub is real good, but I guess there are still a lot of purists that are voting for the Subs. I hope they will at least let them enjoy the dub version of FMA:B when they watch it next.

The Death Note Dub is really good in my opinion. Subbed is good too, but I personally prefer the Dub on this one.

This is the only Anime I like the dub in at all, but sub is perfectly fine and valid.

Dub people are always funny as hell. They always say "Dubs are usually bad but this one is actually good!" about every damn show. As someone that has watched sub+dub for quite a lot of shows at this point, dub voice actors are like 80% of the time worse than the sub ones, even in the shows that supposedly are "good dubs".

naruto, death note, cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, dbz, bleach, attack on titan ... they all have great dubs. i watch in subbed too but i'm not an uptight person with a stick up my ass

Dub is very clear and well rounded but really its up to preference

Unlike AoT, I believe Death Note has a good dub. I'd say do whichever you prefer for this one and don't leave it totally up to us since you can't really go wrong either way. I think some purists will choose sub no matter what, but sometimes the dub is worth it if it's good and it's easier for you.

No matter what one says, unless someone makes a legitimate case for their preference and their audience is open to changing their minds, saying which version is better serves no purpose. As for Sub difficulties when reading, its a good point, but one could also make the case that its and opportunity to grow as English readers.

Watch it in Serbian.

Both are good

dub is good for death note but still prefer the sub. tho it wouldnt matter personally either way what yall react to

Both are great imo.

for a dub it’s good, but still go with the sub.

Never watch dubbed anime. The original is always better. A lot of characters are voiced by some of the best Japanese voice actors. (also L's english voice is really weird)

both are good but if u guys feel like its more comfortable not having to read and miss any info because of the subs going fast or something then go for dub with this one :)

I would say that its always easier to get into a show when you speak the language

Dub people who saying that sub is to complex or sub is bad, needs to stfu and just vote. There is diffrence between having an opinion and leggit trashing sub because it has more votes. stop and grow up.

damn the dub version is really good too

People voting for sub haven’t even watched death note, death note is the only show in where the dub is way better than sun trust me. Sub makes the show so weak of emotion

Death note is very very complex, you will be lost with a lot of information to process if you choose Sub,

Just vote, no one asks y'all to debate. That's how democracy works

Try the first episode and the second episode either one DUBBED and other SUBBED... See which ones you like best!

Look at it this way: unless you speak Japanese, the dub is better. When there's no real difference in quality go with the more native language. The voice actors for the main characters are superb in the dub.

Dub is great in Death Note but my love is always with original voices.

Dub = 80 % Immersion Sub = 100% Immersion 🤷‍♂️

I'd push for Dub, simply because imo, "It's good enough," and it seems like media is waaaaaay more easier for you guys to process when you don't have to read every line. Death Note is extremely plot-driven. If you missed something because the subtitles were going too fast, this is going to get confusing, real quick.

I'd say dub personally, Death Note is the only show in which I prefer the dub over the sub actually

AOT Sub is better but Dub is better on Death Note but im fine with Sub as well

bruh death note dub is much better than others out their plus its a lot of information and talking most of the time but sub is prob gunna win

go dub, it is very good for this show

I'd prefer a dub for this one but since I've never seen subbed Death Note this could be a good opportunity.

Since it’s close to call. I think you guys should take preference to what you like

Sub is better but Dub is one of the better dubs out for any show

I'll take this potato chip....

Japanese voice actor are so talented, there's no way dub is better than original

Original Japanese is always better.

Glad you guys went with a poll like I suggested! Sad that sub's gonna win, but fair is fair. However I will say if FMA gets picked in sub it's gonna be a shitshow lol.

I second the person who suggested watching ep 1 in sub and ep 2 in dub to see which you like more

Japanese voiceacting is a world on its own. IMO usually the dubs pale in comparison with the emotions japanese VA conveys.

Unfortunate that sub is winning. This is the only anime that I prefer the dub. Misa's Japanese voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, and L's voice is so good in english. Ryuk and Light are great in english as well. I alsoI feel like you'll miss less info if you watch the dub.

I'm actually surprised sub is winning at this point (since I've always seen dub mainly preferred until now). Oh well, guess this will be an opportunity for me to watch DN completely in subs.

It honestly depends on how you guys watch it, if you guys wanna talk and make comments while watching the show, then sub is preferred. That way you don't miss any important details the characters are saying without subtitles. With subtitles, even if you guys are talking and making comments, you can read what's on the screen and not miss details.

I think they are about equal I personally prefer the dub though

The dub is not better, it's just way (waaaay) better than the usual dub's on anime, but definitly not better than sub

Sub. Japanese show so japanese voices

I suggest Episode 1 Dub then Episode 2 sub and see what you like. Dub Ryuk >>> Sub Ryuk though

dub all the way! for context i highly prefer AOT in japanese, but death note, the voices are sooooo iconic in the english dub. like BRUH 😭 but either way is fine - choosing based on the poll will make the most people pleased :) hope you girls enjoy the show!

honestly one of the few instances where either way is fine but id still say sub is better

Sub! I forgot to add in my other comment, English Misa Misa is HORRIBLEEEE. I just remembered

I’m happy sub is winning but I really wanted them to watch FMAB. I could see them getting attached to the boys.

Both are great, honestly. But I slightly prefer some of the performances in the sub.

Sub. English Light is pretty good but English L is unconvincing

Selfishly, I'm kinda saddened to see subs winning. I only watch your BCS reactions, typically on a second screen while I work - something I can't do with a subbed show. But again, I realize that's my problem. I'll just have to set aside a dedicated time to watch.

I really just went through several scenes: The main characters work very well in both. Sometimes I find the English version better, sometimes the Japanese version. With the dub, however, I noticed that the dubbing actors for the female side characters don't really match the original dubbing. Another thing in favour of the sub: the names. No series is more about names than this one, and reading them makes them easier to remember. Moreover, characters from abroad also appear in the series. Here I find it pleasant to hear an accent or simply the foreign language. In addition, as a reaction viewer, you can also read what was said in the scene, if you are talking about something. Edit: Forget everything I said. The chip scene in English is so much more awesome :D

Sub

The dub is horrendous, except for Yu Yu Hakusho or Full Metal Alchemist, dubbed anime are very wooden and never deliver proper emotion or subtly. It almost always sounds like someone reading off a piece of paper. So yeah go with the Sub

thanks people. thanks god sub is winning. is nice to be in the rigth side of this multiverse

Sub all the way.

Do what your heart desires 😊

Mix it up. Be different, Why not?. Death Note has pretty good English actors, and sure translations can get awkward, but it still sells the story and builds engagement

You could watch one episode sub then re watch the first or watch the second dub

The dub is superior.

I wonder what the poll would be if you did this poll on YouTube.

Both sub and dub are good for this one, honestly. Anything works

I prefer dub but at the end of the day I will still watch no matter what :) love you guys.

honestly death note can go either way dub or subbed.

Dub in my language, italian, is incredible for this anime but I don't know how it is in english so i vote sub

Watch the first episode in whatever version wins the poll. Then re-watch it with the other version and continue with whichever one you prefer. I do hope it's the sub though!

I've never seen Death Note so I'm not going to vote but it will be interesting watching something for the first time with you!

Dub is so good

Sub of course, how is dub better whatt

sub

Dub is actually really good, prefer it tbh, and thats a rarity

Dub is good but sub is far better.

its a nice ride either way, but the sub is still better

I didn't watch the dub so I can't compare, but I say always go authentic

The dub is extremely good and it’ll be easier to understand I believe. I mean of course if it’s sub then I won’t mind but I do think the dub voices, especially for one of the characters, sounds great! Either way they’ll both provide good experiences

Sub because Ryuk

Sub. end of story.

I've seen both. It really doesn't matter they both are amazing. Sub matches their voices more in my opinion. Dub has some better executed scenes though. So pretty much whatever you decide it will be very good.

really want sub to win, lights va is just way too good

I personally like the dub slightly better, but the sub is very good of course, being the original version

I prefer the dub but you should know since you often watch with subtitles on, the English subtitles often don't match what the dub VA is saying which can be very distracting.

Both sub or dub are actually really good in this anime. Don’t listen to these people or that poll forreal. That being said, you should watch what you feel more comfortable watching it in

This show is watched dub by most reactors because it’s actually good what’s wrong with people

Let me be clear, DUB is never and will never be better, some can be really good and to each their own, but the original is always better.

Sub always imo. It was animated in that language and no matter how good the dub is, it can't capture the emotion exactly as intended.

Let's go for sub!

Dub is never better, it just happens to be good for some shows.

Choose dub for potato chip scene guys ffs

Sub sub sub

Guys reconsider they will not experience the potato chip scene in it’s true potential if you choose sub instead of dub.

Who tf is voting sub? Death Note is one of the few shows that most people watch in dub

The protagonist is whiney and less cool in the dub and it defeats the purpose.

I’m usually for sub but the dub on death note is really good

Hoping it’s just a loud minority, Id always say the authentic version is best

please don’t ruin the experience for you with the Dub…

Democracy!

Most anime dubs are bad but Deathnote dub is really good

Dub is not the worst but is not on levels near FMAB. Sub I feel works better for this show

Hide guys war incoming, dub team

Dub is better in my opinion I love the main characters voice actor

Ngl I m gonna be disapointes af if it goes dub

Rip sub will easily win. :(

The sub is soooo much better

Sub plz 🥺❤️

Lmao

Imo Sub is slightly better :)

I’m sure these comments will be civil
