Bro the anime is based on the VIDEO GAME which would make it the same verse which would make English the original language for the show stop trying to be one of the competitive anime watchers that are like “ sub is always better then dub” cuz it’s simply not true

mate the show is made by Trigger - a japanese company. I looked it up just to check the consensus and the original language for the ANIME is indeed JP. Side note; if you go to netflix and language options it will clearly say japanese (original). give it up

God people like you are so weird “studio trigger made it which obviously means it’s meant to be watched in Japanese🤓🤓🤓” like you see the amount of people that are disagreeing with you in this thread that should show you who is wrong

I think you are misinterpreting. the original language is Japanese however I get that more people watch it in English. I think you are a bit naive.

not at all. I don't have a tonne of time to watch. But yes I think everybody gets that Japan caters to its country first and its language (JAPANESE) before doing the subs. it really is not that hard to understand. I hope you have learned a few things. cheers.

I think since Netflix(?) made this the quality of the dub will be a lot better than traditional dubs but maybe that's just my opinion. The dub for this is very good and the characters talk like actual humans.

I found the sub difficult to follow since there's so much made-up cyber-slang. So I switched to the dub and it's actually really good

Definitely sub, unless you want to hear the cringe terminology all the damn time. As well as the word "fuck" every 3 sentences.

Dub, cause idk swearing matches the tone of the show very well. and as far as I know "fuck" is not a word in japanese.

Watch it dub, specially if you understand Spanish. there are some details in the dub that can only be made in English.

If it were most other anime I'd say subs, but the dub is excellent on this one. It really helps with the immersion.

I watched in sub but I feel like sun would be better since the game is in English normally and it would probably just fit better… the sun wasn’t that bad tho so it’s up to you

I watch every anime in original dub (Jap), because that's the language it's been aired in. It's more authentic experience.

untrue for this. the original dub for this is english. show was made for English Japanese was the add on. English is way better for this show

This is one of the rare animes where the dub is better. You can watch the dub just to hear Giancarlino

Dub, as it uses the in-game default language of English, which includes specific catch phrases to that universe. The sub sadly doesn't work in that retrospect.
The location it takes place in is also America, so the mannerisms will also be American instead of Japanese; therefore, it makes more sense to watch it in the Dub.

Lastly, they also speak Japanese in the English Dub during certain segments, so you'll lose out if you just watch the Sub

10,000% dub. Not only does it fit the environment better, but it actually has racially accurate voices. The Latino character sounds Latino, the black character sounds black, they don't all sound Japanese which simply doesn't work in a show like this. There's also a LOT of background voices so unless you plan on reading along to two lines of subtitles you're just going to have to miss out on those.

Also the English dub is just really good anyways, probably one of the best dubs (Japanese or English) that I've heard.

Exactly! It's amazing how well made the dub is

I mean I think a big part of the series is how realistic the language is- no censoring, not shy with curses, and very informal. I watch in English coz It better conveyed the casual yet intense dialogue

Dub, the accents that the characters are given makes the story hit better personally. I just felt like it fit better for this show.

You're asking this on MAL, you're going to hear overwhelmingly from subtitle elitist. personally I preferred the dub, felt more natural to me. Sub is by no means bad however! It's up to personal preference here, if you're really unsure which to watch. Watch episode 1 in Sub and rewatch it again in dub, or vice versa, see which you prefer!

definitely watch this in sub. studio trigger, the animation company behind this masterpiece is a Japanese company so the voice acting will line up in sub. Even if the game it's based on is originally released with English acting.

always sub. the dub is never better than the original Japanese version.

This show is an exception considering the show is based off of the video game and was honestly used as advertisement for the game. This show was meant to be watched in English Dub. Every other show I agree that sub is better, but not here.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
