Yes, I'm one of those. Just like how I watch American movies in english even though it is not my main language.
And it isn't "Japanese dubs", it's the original voiceover.

The way I look at it, personal attachments aside, is that the characters are just roles that can be played by any actor. You wouldn't storm out of a Shakespeare play just because you're not watching the original cast would you? So I'm not too particular about English or Japanese, so long as the acting is good. I'll sometimes even watch the first episode or two of something in both languages if I can and then I judge which I like better. Sometimes, as in the case of The Big O, even the Japanese audience will acknowledge the American cast is superior which I think says a lot about the impracticality of an automatic bias. So in any event, I would encourage people who refuse to watch a series without a dub and people who refuse to give dubs a chance to both be more open minded.
 
You got a good point. I'm still strongly holding my side and I've got good arguments, but I'm gonna leave it at that.

I'm just super happy that the Hayate no Gotoku is back.

Edit : Both Naruto and Fairy Tail anime are also back on track this week meaning no more fillers and supposedly only "good" episodes for a while. Also their respectives manga are coming up nicely. I feel like Fairy Tail's actual plot starts now.
 
For Evengelian the creator and director said they liked the english dub far more than the original voice over.

Also season 2 of Hayate was awful, so i didn't even know a 3rd was coming at all.
 
In the war of dub vs sub, everyone wins.

Let's face it, dubs are going nowhere, and subs are always an option, so no one can actually be displeased with any show's release. If you like the dub, go ahead. If not, go into the menu, and change the audio.

Okay, gotta stop here...

So, I've never really been interested in Hayate, but with it being a JC series, it does hold a certain level of appeal. Now, being the show starring one of the Five Tsundere Wonders of Rie Kugimiya, I have to ask: is the lead female as much of a bitch as Louise?
 
Yeah Nagi is pretty awesome and Hayate has it rough. Also only the second season was from JC. I really, really liked it myself. The first season was funny, but more than half of it were not canon and got a bit repetitive, while the second season is loyal to the manga.

Anyway Hayate is all about parodies, so if that's your cup of tea, you should check it out.
