I watch all anime only with sub if I need it.

Nothing wrong with dub , but the text must be slightly changed to fit. Sometimes the different reaction in speech can make big difference and can lead you to misunderstanding of the character's personality.

Sub is not perfect either , because while the anime or movie is being translated the directors don't focus on pure translation. They think that people in different countries with different culture would not understand or appreciate the original ,so they change some text a bit to make it more fitting for the specific audience.

In my opinion , there is nothing to misunderstand. If you watch anime, you will most likely hear or read about Japan's culture and similar things and while it's a bit different ...it's not so different from anyone else and it's clearly understandable. There is no need to for changes in translation. I would rather appreciate the original , because I find the character's responses way better and more fitting.
