I personally can't stand watching subbed anime. It detracts from the visuals if I have to read all of the dialogue. Some elitists say that "That is the way it was meant to be experienced, in the Japanese language!" Well, if I don't know Japanese, which I don't, then I can't experience it exactly how it was meant to be. The director obviously didn't mean for all of the dialogue to be read. So it's a moot point to me.

Hmm, don't know why that would make me an "elitist," as I agree with C3PX on all above points. I've just never understood this argument. Is it really that hard to read the subtitles and still keep an eye on the action? Then again, I watch all television and movies with closed captioning on, just to make sure I don't miss anything, so it's really six of one, half dozen of the other to me.
