Should you watch anime dubbed or subbed?

Question: Should you watch anime dubbed or subbed?
Position1 of 3›: Subbed anime is better
Argument‹2 of 5›: Subbed anime is released earlier

Audiences around the world can enjoy new episodes within a few days of its release in Japan.

The argument

If simultaneously produced, the first dubbed episode would typically come out three to five weeks after the broadcast date. In some cases, though, the dubbed version is produced after the whole anime has been broadcasted, maybe a year after, for the home release. By watching subbed versions, people will not miss the “hype” that the anime gets while it is being aired. The excitement of anticipating the next episode as soon as it comes out and discussing the anime with friends is lost if you wait for the dubbed version to come out.

Premises

[P1]Subbed versions of anime are released immediately with the original broadcast, while dubbed versions are delayed by weeks, months, or even a year. [P2] Watching anime as it airs allows fans to participate in the cultural excitement and ongoing discussion surrounding each new episode. [P3] Waiting for the dubbed release causes viewers to miss out on this shared hype and timely engagement. [C] Therefore, subbed anime is better because it lets viewers experience the show as it airs.

Counter-arguments

The pace at which everyone watches anime is different, and this can accommodate dub and sub preferences as well. Discussions of a show does not have to be limited to its release date because not everyone watches it the minute it comes out.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P1 and P2] The preferences of each viewer is unique and cannot be assumed for every individual.
