Why do people watch shows dubbed?
Dubbing over allows the foreign audience to be able to watch the film without feeling too much like a foreign. They’re able to simply watch and listen like they do with any other native film.
Why do some countries dub movies?
People simply are more used to seeing subtitles, thus there is more demand for them rather than dubs. In Quebec, most movies are dubbed rather than using subtitled because many are concerned that English is going to replace French as the official language.
Should I watch dub?
If you just want to watch an entertaining series and not have to read subtitles, dubbed anime is the way to go. You may even prefer to watch your favorite anime series in both their subbed and dubbed versions to decide for yourself which you like better.

In an ideal world, we’d only ever watch foreign films and TV shows with subtitles, which provides the original performances in their entirety, and the rest unmarred by dubbing that doesn’t match, even when the audio performers are good.
Should foreign TV shows be dubbed in English?
Plus, watching foreign shows in dubbed English takes away part of what is amazing in the industry right now, which is that the Golden Age of television isn’t just confined to America right now. I was offended when I pushed play on the first episode of the German-language series “Dark” and heard the English dubbing.
Why do you prefer subtitles over dubbing?
Subtitles are efficient, helpful and add way more to the experience than dubbing does. I often watch English-language shows with subtitles.

Why are Netflix shows dubbed instead of dubbed in?
Clearly, viewer retention is key in this binge-reliant service, and therefore dubbing became the default, while subtitles are offered as an option. As purists, it’s disappointing to hear that U.S. viewers are still less inclined to watch programming in a foreign language, no matter how excellent.
