Just realized I've been watching dubs for 3 years and I used to be a sub-only purist

Back in 2020 I swore I'd never watch a dubbed anime, called it fake or whatever. Then last year during a late night binge of Attack on Titan season 4, my eyes were so tired I accidentally clicked the English dub and just... kept going. Now I'm watching Jujutsu Kaisen dubbed and I can't even go back, it feels too normal. Has anyone else made the switch and felt weird about it at first?

I made the same switch about two years ago and it felt strange for the first week or so. The voices sounded off to me at first, like they didn't match the characters right. But once I got used to it, I realized I was actually paying more attention to the story and the animation since I wasn't reading subtitles the whole time. Now I watch most new shows dubbed unless the English voice acting is really bad, and I don't feel guilty about it anymore.

Oh man, same here. The first week was so weird but now I barely notice it.
