Another regarding One Piece-
Subbed or Dubbed? (Personally I prefer Subs but that's bc my ADHD ass needs t to pay attention... that and the seiyuu are great lol)
Dubbed all the way. I've always preferred the more realistic approach of English voice-acting than the more over-the-top Japanese style. Mayumi Tanaka is an absolute queen, no doubt, but Colleen Clinkenbeard's performance as Luffy actually sounds like a boy, and that makes a ton of difference. Plus, Patrick Seitz is just straight-up the better version of Franky. Kazuki Yao is a perfectly fine voice actor, but the voice they chose for him just does not fit a character like Franky, especially after his post-timeskip upgrades. And then there's the rare moments where, despite the sub being top-tier, the dub outshines it anyway. The main three I've noticed are Ian Sinclair as Brook, Cole Brown(rip) as Blackbeard, and Major Attaway as Queen. All of them take characters and material that were already amazing and make them borderline perfect. And the only time I've gotten that from the sub was Caesar, which almost feels like cheating because like, that's the original voice of Frieza, of course he's going to be able to play a deranged madman to perfection.
