86 is a LOADED show, that much is apparent to me from episode 1. That said, I fear I'm at risk of missing things on character's faces or in the background when I'm reading the subtitles. Is this a show I should watch dubbed for ease of viewing or should I stick to subbed and pray folks forgive me missing (probably obvious) things?

So I haven't had time to watch your reaction yet, but I have a feeling I know where you are coming from. Episode 1 really throws the viewer into the deep end, and to some extent so does episode 2. It can feel like you are missing things just because you aren't sure what is going on. I'm not sure if being dubbed would have changed it much? The show will explain things and as it goes along you'll catch more. I would personally prefer you to continue watching SUB. The voice actors in the dub aren't bad, and I enjoy some of their moments. But there are some later characters I don't like in English. So don't feel bad about missing stuff. This is a light novel adaptation that took the source material to new heights and even had the author helping. So there is new stuff I catch rewatching and I've seen it so many times. I hope this helps! I can't wait to watch

P.S Now that I'm on discord if you ever have immediate questions me or any other 86 fans can help without spoilers

Personally I'd prefer if you stick to Sub. I have no problem with the pauses, and it really is pretty dense in the beginning. I think it does ease up a bit later on, so you should be fine. Plus, the VA's in SUB absolutely kill it in tense/emotional scenes, and I don't think the English Dub can hold up to them.

I made these comments on the video when it released, but it (the video) seems to have removed, so I'll say it all again: Rest assured, not all episodes are as exposition-heavy as these two episodes, so I don't think that you will need to switch to the dub. Throughout the rest of the show, most of the exposition will be done in other ways, like the tone or the expressions of the characters, taking a show-don't-tell ideology. Also, you don't need to examine each and every line carefully to follow the show, you will just notice more cool details if you do make an (optional) effort to pay close attention to it. Also, as mentioned by an earlier comment, This show is really rich in symbolism, so if that's your thing, pausing and taking a second to examine background elements will reveal fun details (things like the lighting in living spaces reflecting the mental states of the characters in this episode, and camera cuts to other creatures or background elements). Again, this show is filled to the brim with small and cool stuff. If you are interested but not good at catching them all (I personally think you will need to be superhuman to catch them all), you always have the option of watching ctrlaltQQ 's videos on 86, where he points out all the symbolism we all probably missed. Either way, it's gonna be fun.

Hard agree with godUsoland! I love the pausing so please continue as much as you would like!

thank God - okay. I lean sub 9 times out of 10 cos the Japanese voice acting is generally superior but worried the pausing would be obnoxious

Watch it in Dub its fine, elitist make too much of Subs imo and dubs have gotten way better since the days we elitist (yes I'm on of them) had a point.

The pausing really isn't obnoxious when you are taking time to understand what you just saw or read. The 1-2 episodes for example were great because we could really see you enjoying/coming to understand the show. A lot of flashy streamers are fake with it where they pause to talk about random shit or over emote on, yours are flavorful :)
