I used to think the 'subs vs dubs' debate was just people being snobs...

Then I watched 'Vinland Saga' in English first and felt something was missing. I switched to the Japanese audio with subtitles for the second season, and the voice acting for Thorfinn hit completely different... way more raw. That one show changed my whole view. Anyone else have a series that flipped their opinion on this?

Guess my ears were just being snobs too.

Yeah, I had that exact same thing happen with 'Attack on Titan'! I watched the first few episodes dubbed and it was fine, but a friend insisted I try the sub. Levi's Japanese voice just has this cold, tired edge that the English version never quite matched for me. It totally changed how I saw his character. Now I almost always go for subs first if I can.

Honestly, the music hits different in the original too.
