I answered this question briefly in the FAQ section, but I wanted to go into it more here. MAny people at my school who are, for some reason, getting into anime always ask me (you can see that my obsession is known schoolwide :D) "What's better, subtitles or the dubbed version?" Personally, I would have to say the sub. That's MY opinion of course, but I have a good reason. In the Japanese version, Inuyasha is MUCH more rude, self-centered, and is just an irritating character. You don't really see the soft side of him unless he's with Kikyou or sometimes Kagome. I feel that R. Cox doesn't put the same kind of emotion K. Yamaguchi does. Even when Inuyasha is in his demonic form, you get this chill down your spine when he talks, but when R. Cox speaks, you don't get that feeling and it takes out the fun. The subtitles translates everything the way it is and you can hear the origional voice of the characters. To tell you the truth, I don't even know why people have dubbed versions, it ruins the origional work. When I lived in Italy, most of our movies were in subtitles, so I guess that's how I'm used to it. There's nothing wrong with the dubbed, and by far on my list is one of the best dubbed animes, but try and watch it on sub as well.
