| What are some dubs you you either hated, disliked, or just didnt fit well with the anime? Azumanga Daioh - I just didnt find the voice for Chiyo to be right, it souinded too...off.... Karin - the VA they chose for Karin had one of the most annoying voices I have ever heard. Mahou Sensei Negima - I didnt really like the voice they chose for Negi. And I usually enjoy funimation's dubs. |
  |
| The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Sorry, fans, it just sounded completely off to me. Haruhi sounded okay, but Kyon's seiyuu far outstripped Crispin Freeman, no matter how much I like him in other roles. Weiss Kreuz - ...no. This one was just bad. Chobits - It just never really clicked with me, especially Chitose and Minoru's voices. Fushigi Yuugi - I winced every time Miaka said something. |

| I can't particularly think of an overall dub. I couldn't agree with some of the voices in Negima (might have been the acting/directing though). And I'd have been perfectly fine without Negi's accent. Forte's voice in Galaxy Angel was something I found weak. After seeing it mentioned in a review, Ken's voice in Kaleido Star sometimes made me think of a sloth. That's all the comes to mind. |
| Besides any 4Kids Gundam SEED DESTINY really it's not one of Bandai's Better drubbings. But I would disagree on the other's you brought up except GA because I've only seen it subbed. |

| I didn't really like the Love Hina dub. Kitsune's southern belle accent was a little too much for me. You can have a southern accent without sounding like Gone From The Wind. That was one I watched subbed first so when the dub placed accents of different parts of the names it kind of irked me too. Rozen Maiden...well there wasn't any desu. I wanted to watch the show for that sole purpose alone initially. It also seemed like Sui lost some of her vocal antics in the dub. I want to see the crazy Sui that I want to smack over the head for being over the top. |

| 4kids One Piece. That is all. |
| Naruto isn't that great dub-wise IMO. I actually prefer the sub, and that's rare. |
| Anything made by 4kids. Evangelion- It was horribly annoying to no end. Appleseed Exmachina- Bleh Naruto- Very annoying Eureka 7- They can't even pronounce Eureka right. |
| the dub for Higurashi literally hurt my ears. that and the code geass dub are the ones which I consider to be large disappointments. |

| The worst dub is 4KIDS One Piece. |

| I have only three words: Evangelion Directors Cut. I'm sorry; while Vic Mignogna is one of my favorite V/A's of all time, when he played Aoba, it was TOO soon after Fullmetal Alchemist for me. I swear, he opened his mouth, and out popped Edward Elric. Furthermore, I have no problem at all with Greg Ayres, but when he played Kaworu, he took the show in a completely different direction...namely a brick wall. He made Kaworu sound more...how should I say it...seductive than the original V/A. Just listen to the way he says "With me?" during the shower scene in episode 24. Kyle Studivant says it like "Oh, really? With me? What do you mean?" Greg Ayes plays it like "Ooooh...with me? Well come on then!" |

| Initial D. The most adrenaline pumping soundtrack in anime was replaced with the lamer kind of rap music. Also the Hajime no Ippo dub was pretty bad, pretty much every voice except Mashiba was out of character. Also had the worst single dub line I've heard: "I'd counter every one of them ... with a counter punch!" (No, really?) |

Torisunanohokori said: Initial D. The most adrenaline pumping soundtrack in anime was replaced with the lamer kind of rap music. Have to agree on this. Also, Love Hina was abysmal. I hope FUNi is redubbing it since they have the license now. |
 |
| I have to say Slayers. Lina's voice is like scratching nails on a chalkboard, and Xellos lost all his whimsy. Eric Stuart as Gourry is right on though, I will say that much. |
 |
| Happy Lesson. The voices are good, the acting is slightly below average, and overall it's just a mediocre dub, but there's one thing that just...no. The main character's name is Hitotose Chitose. They rhymed both his names with the word "dose" throughout the dub. :/ |

| Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry) Neon Genesis Evangelion Excel Saga - It's not technically bad, but it really hurts my ears Lupin III - I'm in the minority here, I know |

| The Ouran High School Host Club isn't exactly what I would call abysmal, however they really do pale in comparison to the originals. No real complaint on funimation's part since if I hadn't heard the original japanese voices in the first place, I would probably like the english voices. Thank god for dual language dvd's though. |

| I'm watching Legend of The Dragon Kings and I must say it's up there in dubs I want to strangle. The three oldest brother's voices are fine but everyone else I want to punt away. Hearing people with New York accents, the Godfather voice, (when we know that are from Japan...and lets not get started about how stupid sounding they made the Americans in the show *kills the director for that one*) and lines that are just plain corny or tackey. If it wasn't for the story and Dan Green I would have dropped it. I've done eps 1-10 dubbed out of 12 so I might as well finish. However, if I ever watch these dvds again it will be subbed. I wouldn't reccommend it unless you were intoxicated. |
| If we got 80% or higher let me know! :) |
| Higurashi was effed up. And the YGO series has been done just as bad. DM was watchable, but 5D's has been stripped of every good aspect about it. |
 |
| As much as I love this show, I will have to say the Nanoha dub made me cringe. I'm still going to give it a full chance and finish watching the first season and I'll listen to the second season to see if it becomes better but it was not good. Side characters can make or break a show for me. The dubs side characters were for the most part terrible. It was like watching a dub form the 90s again. (Granted I still liked those but this was blah.) The worst thing was the name changes in each volume. One would think they'd pick up on that. If anyone saw this show that would try to give dubs a shot they would be instantly pissed off and probably wouldn't watch a dub again. I know the stars that were identified (yes some remained anon) have a lot of talent and I can see their potential but this is not the best work. |
| If we got 80% or higher let me know! :) |
| Rurouni Kenshin always stands out for me. Very flat...not sure what else to say. I feel bad for the people who "grew up" watching it on TV, but they probably just got used to it. Crest/Banner of the Stars. A superb series, and again a cardboard dub. I also find that a lot of the stuff friends of mine watched on Toonami in the States (I never had it since I live in Canada, and YTV didn't show anime that long ago) don't really impress me much dub-wise. |

| Ninin ga Shinobuden (not bad per se, but im simply too used to Norio Wakamoto for Onsokumaru), Patty's voice in Lucky Star (not the acting--i simply can't stand her voice itself there); and a few that were just plain bad overall--Higurashi (dark Rika was pretty fail), Strawberry Marshmallow (probably the worst acting ive heard recently), and while not necessarily being a bad dub, Doki Doki School Hours lacked some emotion in the acting at times |

Then again, if memory serves, they got actual children to do the roles, so... |

| I really don't like the dub for Elfen Lied the voices didn't match the characters at all. The only voice that was kind of okay was Lucy's. I also didn't like the dub for Evangelion it felt like the actors were overacting. |
| I think the dub for Blue Gender was bad half the characters had no emotion at all. |

| I'm hard pressed to find an English dub that I don't like, but that's because I mainly watch certain dubs with certain VAs in it. I've got a bit of a voice actor bias. lol. I research a bunch before hand, too, though. However, the voice of there were a few characters in shows that I thought could've been much better cast or acted: Chisato in Vampire Princess Miyu- her voice was so bad, static and emotionless that I couldn't even finish watching it. You could almost see every line that she reading. Rip Van Winkle in Hellsing Ultimate- Not half as distracting as Chisato. Actually, I thought that her personality was captured perfectly. What got me was the German accent. She dropped it so many times and there were some things that could've been said more accurately. Overall, not terrible, though. Mao in the beginning of Blood + - At first, she sounded so flat and rehearsed. It seemed like later on she got a grasp of the character better, because it sounds more natural in the last of the series. Dark in Bastard!- I cringed when I first heard him. Here's this manly, manly man, Thor-looking character and he didn't have a fierce enough voice, imo. It was very distracting. He needed a much deeper voice. I know he was supposed to be kind of a creeper, but you can be a perv and still sound sexy (GTO, anyone?). You get used to it after a while, though. |

| Ai yori Aioshi (I love Bang Zoom, but this probably their weakest dub) Karin (no words could describe how bad it is) The Law of Ueki (no comment) Green Green (bad show=bad dub) Tokyo Mew Mew (the reason why I hate 4kids) Cardcaptors (I just want to cry T_T) Maburaho (the voices sounded out of place) Ghost Stories (so overrated!) |
