Do You Watch Shows Without Dub/Sub? - Blu-ray Forum

This topic doesn't really need to go anywhere but I've been musing this question for a while...
Do you own/watch any shows that do not have a translation available, be it either via subs or dubs?

Assuredly, this has nothing to do with the dub vs sub debate, as the query is focused toward shows with neither.
I own a few shows without either. They are stand-alone films, not part of a series, (which I think would be more frustrating).
I've quite enjoyed them actually, as I find I am paying far more attention as to what is going on, then of course what is said.
But even the inflections voiced by characters and the mannerisms they portray can provide sufficient info to digest the plot and meanings behind the story.
My latest venture with this is not anime, unfortunately, but a 3 film set called;
"Chroniken der Finsternis" which is a fantasy storyline based on Russian folklore (translation is in German).
I will assuredly pick up an English translated copy when available, as I find it excellent.
I have a few more as well but anyway, I thought that Anime would be a good proving ground for this as not everything we like to watch is available in our language(s) of comfort.

I'd be interested to hear if others have done so?
