The dub is so underrated and it sucks. When you watch a sub/original version, you can see the collaboration between the scenarist and the (voice) actor. The first busted his ass to write a story and dialogues, the actor will portray that and they have to get along on something. With the dub, it's another interpretation of the character(s). I'm not saying it has to be bad, but in Attack on titan's case, how do you explain the change? In the Japanese version, Armin sounds like a not so self-assured teenager who is smart and want to prove his worth. In the English version, all I can hear is a whiny brat. (And not to mention the guy also doesthe narration...) I think the actors got an idea of the character's personality they had to portray, but they didn't transmit everything of that personality in their acting.
