Why I finally swapped subs for dubs on my 3rd rewatch of Fullmetal Alchemist

I used to be a diehard sub-only person. I thought dubs always ruined the original voice acting. But last month I was grading papers and couldn't stare at the screen the whole time, so I tried the English dub on a whim. Turns out the voice actors nailed it, especially Mustang's English VA. Has anyone else had a show where the dub completely changed their mind?

Wait, you graded papers while watching? Doesn't that totally miss the point?

Ha, I actually read a study about this recently. Turns out people who multitask while watching shows score way lower on recall tests the next day. So yeah, you're probably just skimming the papers and not really paying attention to the movie either.
