Hah! Ironically, 60-something% of internet connections have 30-50 Mb speeds for all .ro services!

Everybody loves downloading a movie in 3 minutes! Malevolent

Dubbing is pretty horrible most of the time, at least in my experience. I'd much rather read the subtitles than have the movie or cartoon ruined by bad dubbing! However there are sometimes films and cartoons where the dubbing isn't too bad...

i reckon subs for all, i mean they give the internation effect to the prticular movie\cartoon and you dont get the timing issue *mouth moves* "hello" *mouth continues moving*

especially with anime. american voices do NOT suit them

I say subs, but sometimes I'm too tired to read, so I'll just watch the dubs

Sometimes I wish there weren't no subs at all.
And no movie clips at all.
This must be the worst thriller clone evah.
You'd better don't click the link, really, don't.

But ... it has subtitles.

subtitles...I have the original ring series, grudge series, dark water and the eye series in Japanese in subtitles...the dubbing of these movies is just ridiculous as they made American versions of the movies.

one of the main things ive noticed is that, once you hear the Japanese version then the American version you realize how ridiculous the American version sounds

Dubs are for the most part, incredibly annoying. There are a few exceptions where I don't mind them. But generally speaking if it's a foreign film I'd much rather subtitles and for most anime I'd rather subtitles, the only exceptions I can think of off the top of my head would be Ghost In The Shell and RahXephon which actually had good English voice actors.

i agree that they CAN be good but for the most of the time they just suck. take naruto for example, i dont really watch it or follow it but ive seen 2 episodes, 1 in english and 1 in japanese and the english version is just terrible

I've never seen it in Japanese, I saw a couple of episodes in English on TV, couldn't stand it, don't think I'll bother finding out if the subbed version is any better, the main character is just a douche bag.
