It's funny, a first impression is important. I usually go for the subs, but sometimes I have to rent or buy (used) a dub. I then get used to it and like it. Gundam Wing was a series I started watching dub and now I can not imagine switching to the sub. I watched the first 24 episodes of Maison Ikkoku dubbed by VIZ (bought the first video used for $9.95 and the other 11 at retail for $24.95, you do the math). When I learned that the dub ended I realized I had to change to the sub. I found the HK and ended up buying it as soon as I could. It's unfortunate because the dub was one of the better out there. I really enjoyed Ellen Kennedy as Kyoko Otonashi. Hopefully one day VIZ will continue with the dub and finish the series sub. I'll pick it up the day that it comes out on R1.
