I tend to watch raw whenever I can. Unless it's an anime where they use lots of weird and difficult vocabulary.
Like I watched the To aru majutsu no index movie recently when the subs were only in chinese. I understood everything, 'cept when they use all the weird words even japanese people would probably think twice about.
Minami-ke, idolm@ster, stuff like that I watch raw. Thing like Code Geass where it's more plot involved I watch subbed the first time around
Oh look, new Recorder to Randoseru is out, time to go watch.
