Personally I hate dubbed. To each their own, but especially for this series, listening to them speak Japanese, even though I don't understand, makes it all that much better and more encompassing.

I also grew up with Chinese Kung Fu movies, and hated the dubbed versions as I also felt it took away from the over movie. My OCD or whatever it may be, can't reconcile that lips don't correspond with sound.

I also feel that things are lost in translation. While I may not understand Japanese, my Japanese friend absolutely loves the subtleties and nuances that only can be delivered in Japanese. Exact same thing I feel when watching Hong Kong/Chinese movies/shows. If it were dubbed, it would lose a bit of the context
