    I don't hate the dubs in general, but since the volume has to be quite low to avoid copyright issues I usually rely on the subtitles to understand what are the characters saying in the video (also Im not a native english speaker so it also helps me understand). And I really like the japanese voice acting.

    Generally I will watch everything subbed since Japanese VAs emote and get into character much better overall. It's a more respected and coveted career over there so it's not surprising.
    However, some dubs are definitely the better experience. I can't comment on Konosuba but I agree wholeheartedly with Dragon Ball Z. The sub japanese voices were all high pitched and nasally so I couldn't watch Super. It's the same for Rurouni Kenshin for me. The dub is the ideal experience. Grown men being voiced by women just doesn't work for me. When it's children I get it but not adults. FMA 2003 had such an all-star cast in its dub that they went out of their way to bring all of the voice actors back to reprise their roles in FMA: Brotherhood with the exception of Alphonse. The man was just too old to do the young boy voice he did when he was younger.
    When it comes to sub vs. dub I take it on a case by case basis. A lot of western-inspired anime like Cowboy Bebop just work better in English dub.

    Welcome to the Castle Anthrax. Sir Galahad really wanted to face the peril!
    As for sub v dub, if I like the anime enough to watch it twice I try to do the opposite of my first watchthrough. With older animes like Konosuba, I'll watch dub first, especially so I don't miss any details trying to read the subtitles.
    If it's current I'll watch sub first. New seasons (like Danmachi s4 just ended) I'll also watch sub first.
    I don't buy the original emote better stuff so many say. Many of the US VAs do US animation too and no one complains about their emotions there. And yes, some things get lost in translation but that happens with subtitles too.
    I think everyone should sample both and make their own call. Both the sub and dub for this are really good, and if you ever did a rewatch on your own, I'd pick dub for the experience.
    Megumin's spinoff series starts next month I believe and we'll be getting season 3 of this soon as well.
    The light novels for this show are fantastic as well. It is a finished series light novel wise so I'm hoping the anime will get there as well.
    Enjoying your reactions so far!

    With regard to your thoughts about rewatching in dub, it never hurts to give it a try. Like you said despite all the illogical hate, there are some genuinely good dubs out there. Just ignore the toxic sub community. Although I prefer dub myself, I also love to rewatch shows in sub and can undoubtedly say that sub is undeniably, absolutely superior but that doesn't mean the dub is as atrocious as the toxic sub community make it out to be. It's just become a culture to unreasonably hate on dub due to a desperate attempt to fit in. Trust me.

    I feel the dub does the 'Steal' part better because off the get go she explains it far better while the sub lacks context ao its more of a surpise in the dub.
    In rhe dub she specifically says what you steal is random and its tied to your luck stat. Knowing he has high luck the clear option wouldve seemed to be her sword. But seeing how the sub doesnt tell you its random until after he does it twice its kinda just looked over.

    The dub is great, the sub is also fantastic. It's hard to pick between them. I give the sub a slight edge because of the "freedom" it had (they let VAs ad-lib stuff, and it led to some great running gags, which the dub does a good job of replicating, but it's just a bit more stilted). You can't really go wrong with either, though.

    I think the Konosuba dub is quite good. I don't tend to like dubs, but the English cast captures their characters well.
    If you are only going to watch a single episode of the dub, I'd suggest an episode like 4, 5, or 6 to watch (with 5 probably being the best choice for a one-off). The show really shines once the main cast is fully assembled.
    All that said, the Japanese version's cast is better, but the difference is slight. If I could only watch the show with one audio track, it would be the original cast.

      @@TheGenreVerse 4, 5, and 6, relate to each other. I'd highly recommend all 3. The character introduced in 4 is absolutely hilarious.

    Konosuba dub is actually great, and everyone loves it too. However first experience I think better go with sub, due to the insanity of Kazuma voice actor doing his adlibs.

      We wouldn't switch, it'd be a bonus reaction to an episode we already watched.

    i recommend the dub, it's got some good actors.
    my favorite of the dub cast below.
    Cristina Vee is Darkness and Erica Mendez is Megumin in the dub. do with that what you will.
