Subs vs. Dubs

Heh, didn't expect that I'd be the first voting on that.
Though it's usually more along the lines that I watched it subbed first, then I sort of feel like rewatching the series again but instead I watch it dubbed.

It definitely has to do with favorite VA's. For example I watched Death Note subbed but I wouldn't mind rewatching it dubbed after I found out that Brad Swaile did the voice of Light, whose voice I'm familiar with as Rock from Black Lagoon.

And I'll say Black Lagoon definitely fits much better dubbed than subbed.
I quite like Spike Spencer as Shinji from NGE, though I actually still relate his voice to Makie Stingray from Bubblegum Crisis 2040 and Akito Tenkawa from Martian Succesor Nadesico I suppose.
