Dub or sub?

I would've preferred the dub cast a child or female VA in the role of Edward pre-14, Vic just sounds far too awkwardly strained voicing a child and preteen Ed. Don't get me wrong, he did a rather incredible job in the flashbacks and eps 3-9 area, but for realism purposes this was a blatant miscast. You don't give an adult male the role of a 6-12 year old child, sorry.

Other than that quirk of mine, I did enjoy his performance overall, as with all the other dub cast. Dameon Clarke and Laura Bailey in particular really captured me in their roles, as did the very young-at-the-time Aaron Dismuke in the role of Alphonse. The DragonBall trilogy, as well as other dramatic dubs like Blue Gender and Yuyu Hakusho, they were real acting practices going into the original Fullmetal anime dub and I think that paid off very well. The Japanese version all its own will always be incredible, but personal preference, I'll always go with the dub.

I say dub; I generally prefer to listen to TV shows rather than watching them.

Dub can never match the intensity of original. After watching brotherhood with original voice acting I watched FMA (2003) dubbed version and I was quite disappointed. The dub version was not able to convey the emotions conveyed by voice actors in Japanese throughout the series. After you watch enough animes subbed it is hard to go back to dubbed but it is just my opinion and dub fans will disagree with me.

Anyone who says dub is delusional. Too much is lost in the translation of the material and the low quality voice actors in America don't do it justice. There are only a handful of exceptions to the dub rule namely Dragonball, DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Speed Racer, Lupin III, Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, Bubblegum Crisis, Fist of the North Star, Pokemon, and Tenchi Muyo.
