Dubbed anime let my grandma really get into the story with us
Most fans online say you have to watch subbed to get the real feel, but I think that misses the point for group viewing. My grandma wanted to see what I love about anime, but reading fast is hard for her. We put on the dubbed version of 'Spirited Away' and she could watch without stress. She asked about the creatures and the magic, and we talked for hours after. Sure, the original Japanese voices are great, but the dubbed version helped her connect. For bringing anime to people outside the fan circle, dubbed is just better. It turns a solo thing into a shared experience.
