Not too big a fan of English dubbed anime, but I feel the English voices suit the characters more, especially Meow's.

Sporadically watched episodes in both sub and dub to see the differences, and yeah they're both quite excellent. The only possible gripe I have with the dub is that, although well-written, there are still a few instances of run-on sentences where the translators were clearly fighting to fit as many words as possible to the limited frames of mouth movement.

Certainly a lot better than a lot of dubs out there, and far and few in between, but it just makes those particular instances all the more uncomfortable, in my opinion.

There's also that early fiasco of some lines of dialogue being lost in translation which impacted the characters, but they seem to have that ironed out for the most part. As the majority of posters here seem to have preference for the dub, though, I guess it comes down to personal preference, especially in the context of a show that *was* heavily marketed towards the Western audience, what with the simuldub/simulcast and all.

I tend to like the English dub better, even though I typically prefer Japanese for most shows.

Dub. Because I'm missing all the action while reading the sub.

The higher I get , The lower I'll sink.
