| Well, the thing is it's not as straightforward. If the dub and original are of comparable quality then whatever you watch first will likely sound better than whatever you watch afterwards. For example Kill la Kill, watched the dub first and really liked it. Tried watching the original after and a lot of the voices sounded weird. If I watched the original first it might've been the other way around. Some of the dubs I liked are below, however I didn't watch both dub and sub with all of them so can't say whether they are actually "better": Angel Beats! Cowboy Bebop Fate/Anything by ufotable (UWB and F/Z at the moment) Ghost Stories Gurren Lagann Kill la Kill Log Horizon (I think even S2 is dubbed now) Mob Psycho 100 Mushishi One Punch Man Panty & Stocking Steins;Gate Toradora! The ones that do stand out are definitely Ghost Stories and Panty & Stocking. Ghost Stories in original simply sucks because of its writing, can't really fault the VAs. In the dub they rewrote everything and made it so much better. Panty & Stocking dub is better, because the characters and all the profanities the English language can produce were a match made in heaven. |
| I would say FMAB for sure. I say this having not watched the sub myself but the English voice actors are so god damn amazing I can't imagine the sub being better. If people say that the sub is better, hell maybe my fifth rewatch will have to be in the sub. Also isn't there some infamous ghost hunting kids anime were the original was trash but then the dub made it awesome because of interpretation. |

le_halfhand_easy said: It is an argument because it is only that way "easily" if you're a language imperialist.Every anime with a good dub sounds better dubbed. Easily. Why is this even an argument? Dub in the language most familiar to you is the superior aural option in an audio-visual narrative. If there are two audio tracks in two different languages then I am going to say that the best one is – brace yourself – the best one regardless of language. Whether I understand it or not is of complete irrelevancy. |

Mauric said: What are some anime that sound better dubbed to you? For me it's probably a few shonen anime. But everything else sounds much better subbed. Not at all, sub is alot better in my opinion. It was a joke since Avatar:The Last Airbender is American xP |

| Can't stand dubs for the most part; English VAs tend to overact to a very irritating degree. That said, I've heard that the Cowboy Bebop dub is actually preferred by Watanabe himself, so I guess that would be my answer. Oh yeah, Cromartie High School has a hilarious dub, but I've never seen the subbed version or even the dubbed version in full so take that as you will. |

| Sora no Otoshimono. The dub is a comedy masterpiece and it just didn't feel as funny as when i tried to rewatch it with subs. |
| The beauty of humans is that they say one thing then do another, but at the same time that can also be their ugliest side. |
| Only series I've seen subbed and dubbed is Code Geass so I cant say if they're better or not, but I do like it when the dub fits the setting better, like 91 Days, Baccano and Black Lagoon for example. If it's set in Japan then I don't bother with the dub. |
| My list: Baccano! is better dubbed because of its setting. It is set in America, so many feel it is more fitting. Black Butler I have heard has a great dub. Ghost Stories has a gag dub, so can only be watched dubbed. Many of the awful anime is much more hilarious dubbed - namely Garzey's Wing and Angel Cop, in my experience. |

| Cowboy bebop and School rumble are my favourite/better dubs. |
| Lucky Star and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya |

| I tend to agree that dub sucks, but I would make an exception: Ranma ½ Love hina Good old school! |
