"But which do you prefer...the sub or the dub?"
*gun in my hand, moving back and forth* Don't make me choose!

Funfact: Emilia voice actor does Megumin from konosuba as well

Subaru’s sub voice is extraordinary. He sounds like he’s been tortured for a long time. Also the JP cast did a REALLY good job reading the script. Every dialogue felt realistic and felt like it mattered.

I’ve watched them both in dub/sub and love them both equally

[AnimeFan-vohc]

Even as a die-hard subbed watcher, I have no problem in watching Re Zero in English dub because Subaru's English voice actor has a very deep and attractive voice. He also portrays his pain and emotions perfectly. I thought that with all the screaming and shouting Subaru does in the anime, the dub would feel cringe. But boy I was wrong. Sean Chiplock does nail it all. And I hate to admit this as a subbed fan, Spoilers for season 2 ep 8, his screams in the rabbit death was the best death scream I've heard in Re Zero and sent a shiver down my spine. It disturbed me more than the Japanese version. I still prefer subbed while watching anime, but Re Zero is something I watch In both.

Honestly, I loved Subaru’s English voice actor. There are certain parts I find more emotional than the Japanese version, but I will always prefer the sub. Great voice actors all around, they all did amazing. I can't wait for season 2.

[MadDogRyan]

Sean Chiplock’s performance as Subaru is My favorite voice voice performance ever in anime video games, cartoons every thing he was perfectly cast

[deathwizard]

It is pretty fun to compare the voices and see how different they sound.

[mr.stuffdoer]

This comment section is the only place I’ve ever seen many people calling the dub better. I love this video, I’m never leaving.

[heroson]

I watch dub normally so I’m definitely biased, but I like the dub cast more than the sub cast (both are great ofc). Also fun fact: Subaru’s English actor voices Diluc in Genshin Impact, Emilia’s voices Keqing, and Rem’s voices Hu Tao.

[brandonmariomanfanxd]

Subaru is so relatable it’s insane, it’s a shame you didn’t play the whole scene, but 2:21 makes me cry.

[TheOneTrueSoop]

for me, the sub and dub are nearly synonymous, they sound so similar and both have extraordinary performances from their VA's, you could really watch either one and get the exact same experience, that experience being superb

[shivu]

Both the Sub and Dub are good, Sean Chiplock really nailed it as Subaru. All the screams in EP 15 really hit hard, I still get shiverings whenever I hear them. Such amazing voiceover on both the sides!!

[LeynaSept]

Watched the sub first, I'm rewatching the series in dub and I gotta say, can't complain about it.
It's one of the few dubs that are actually done extremely well. I liked Emilia's japanese voice because she sounds both cute but also motherly, the dub does the same but focuses more on the cute side I'd say which is a charm of it's own. Hm I gotta say I prefer the japanese one due to that actress having been in some roles I really liked, hella impressed with the english one tho.
Subaru, love either one the same. Japanese one really makes him seem like a delinquent and the english one does his joking side well, (seriously the jokes where he has to change toneshifts don't sound stiff and work naturally.)
Puck, I'd say I prefer the dub they got his boyish mischievous side well.

As for Ram and whoever that blue haired one is, I'd gotta say I prefer the japanese because of how distinct and better matching for the personalities they are. The english are still great acting wise, and not to say the actors don't fit their characters cause they do.

Overall, all the english cast are good actors, they sound natural and even the jokes work. And the characters all fit their character too.

[pmpmpudding-YT]

Finally a recent dub with accurate roles and people who can match up to the originals’ performances quite well.

[moussacamara]

Dub for me

Fully believe that if done right it can be as good as sub

[loganh]

Honestly the dubbed cast for this could not be any better. Especially for REM. Her confession man..

[godot]

Damn. This is one of the few instance where the sub and dub can be compared side by side. Most times the sub is LEAGUES better than the dub, but they really nailed the dub for this anime. Definitely putting it up there with FMAB, Steins Gate, and Code Geass.

[mymagicisntgivingup]

I don’t care dub or sub. Both goes in many ways.

[kevinolivares]

Subaru sounds more mature in the English dub, and Emilia's Voice is so cute in both
