The meaning of this thread is whether or not you are less of a fan for watching dubbed.
I
do not only watch dubbed. What I mean is, if I see a show on TV, I don't have much of a choice of it being dubbed. I get used to it in english, and I don't usually feel a need to watch it again in japanese. But I have seen shows in japanese! Just not as many as some of you.
On another note. I have come to realize alot of people havent read the manga to some of these great shows. Like Fruits Basket and Love Hina for example. The anime, compared to the manga, is lame. Both Love Hina, and Fruits Basket have their endings cut out. Love Hina ran out of money, and had to cut the ending to Love Hina short. They cut things out of the anime that was crucial to the story.
animes like Naruto, Shamen King, One Piece, and Yu-Gi-Oh were seriously dumbed down in the dubbed, I know this is true. It bothers me, just as much as it bothers others. (can I also say that the manga's to these are much better as well?)
Also... my sister doesn't like it when I watch an anime subtitled
she was incredibly annoyed when I was watching Fruits Basket again in subtitles.
