| Blah blah subs over dubs, blah blah. I've been watching through Sailor Moon after only having watched the old DIC dub when I was a youngin'. I'm watching the new Viz dub and I've been really enjoying it! I think the voice actors are doing a fantastic job! ^^ I rather like the dub for Madoka and SAO too, and I'm also pretty fond of the English dubs for Naruto, FMA:B, and Ouran, but those three of those are mostly fueled by nostalgia if I'm honest. Honorable mention to the Ghost Stories dub, hahaha. Are there any dubs of any language any of you are particularly attached to? Are there any that you actually prefer over the original Japanese? |

| Totally agree on your thoughts on the new Sailor Moon Viz dub (especially since I grew up with a video cassette of the DiC dub too), Madoka Magica, and Ghost Stories. They've got great dubs. I'd say Disney's dubs for Studio Ghibli movies and ADV's dub for Princess Tutu are great too! I've only seen some of the Ghibli movies both subbed and dubbed and I have yet to completely watch Princess Tutu subbed though. |

| Dragon Ball Z, Cowboy Bebop, Boku no Hero Academia, Nanatsu no Taizai to name a few |
| The English dub of Made in Abyss is actually very good. |

| The english dub of garzey's wing is perfect and enhances the experience. |

| I think the dub of Black Lagoon is better than the sub |
| Unless there's a VA I really like in the Japanese Dub, I would most likely than not, just watch the English dub, for non-Japanese setting Anime (Europe/North America), for the immersion. |

| Some of these are partially nostalgia however, I still think they're good! Yu Yu Hakusho has a fantastic dub, FMA and FMA:B are also so well done, and I honestly think the Panty and Stocking dub is great since they really went to places I think the sub was a little afraid to? In general I also think some comedy anime do really well as dubbed and that's I think more just do to the writing of the original content than the dub itself. |

| cowboy bebop dub was great, same with baccano, howl's moving castle and spice and wolf |
| The dub in ghost stories is the best one out there |

I think the dub of Black Lagoon is better than the sub It just makes more sense to me that they are speaking english in south east asia rather than some magical japanese language that even the russians can understand |
| Mostly for anime I've watched when I was in elementary/middle school, dunno why/how I got stuck with the dubs instead but some are actually pretty good. Now I only watch in subs though so can't say I prefer any dubs for newer anime anymore. Ouran High School Host Club (Tamaki's in particular, his VA makes everything 10x more hilarious) Pokemon Sailor Moon Inuyasha Ranma 1/2 And while we're on-topic I'm just gonna slip in one of my favorite english dubbed Sailor Moon moments below |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| I pretty much watch only english dubbed anime. I've watch some shows subbed, but if you view my list, it has very few japanese only anime. At the end of the day it's whatever you're use to or prefer. If you've watched subbed for most anime, then you'll think dubbs are strange. If you watch dub mostly, you'll think japanese VA's sound strange. I don't even mind the bad dubs like the animax asia dub for haruhi suzumiya(seriously you should check it out and compare it to the funimation dub and see how VA's impact an anime so much) I think people are overly critical of dubs and there's a lot of shows with very well done dubs that are just different rather than being better or worse. I think people should be realistic that different mediums will give a slightly different experience and sometimes watching a show in both dub and subbed makes a person appreciate it that much more. |
I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges.  |
| Madoka's and PSG are the ones that I can think of right away. The Madoka bloopers were what convinced me that it was worth rewatching in dub, and it truly delivered. |
 |
| Pokemon, a pretty good dub, and Hyperdimension Neptunia. |
 |
| black lagoon, mob (only for reigan). |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| Deathnote, Baccano, Ghost in the shell SAC, and more recently Re Zero. |
| Currently watching Cowboy Bebop in dub right now. It's pretty damn good. |
| barely touch on dub but i think fma was solid |
   |
| Tokyo ghoul is the dub that is better than sub. Death note is the dub that I an attached to. |

| Dubbed (an under the influence) is the best way to enjoy Space Dandy. Space Dandy felt quite Western given that it was basically Japanese space-age Johnny Bravo, so I enjoyed it in the most English. |
| Steins Gate, Ghost Stories, 91 Days, FMAB, Baccano has pretty solid dubs |
 |
| Ghost Stories is my #1 answer, haha. But there are other good dubs too, like Black Lagoon, Baccano!, Ghost in the Shell. |

| As someone who actually has to watch dubs most of the time, there are some pretty good ones! I fully agree that the Madoka dub is a good one, even after having seen both versions. Baccano is another one I've tried both for, and it's honestly god-tier. The Lupin III dubs that feature Tony Oliver as Lupin are also a real hoot, he portrays the character perfectly. I also have a major soft spot for the Fate/Zero dub, purely for Bluebeard. A strange one that's shot up to be a personal favorite is Nanbaka, because I feel like Elf's Japanese voice wasn't nearly as terrifying. |

| Dub is garbage so none,also dub is trash. |
 |
| The Ghost Stories dub will forever be the holy grail of anime dubs. Probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. When the studio said you can do anything they really did the most didn't they lol. |
 |
| I actually watch most things dubbed and I can't say that I have really come across a terrible one yet. Two I have watched recently that were really well done were Code Geass and Soul Eater. |
| How generic is it to say that Cowboy Bebop and Baccano! had incredible dubs? Kekkai Sensen and Dorohedoro dubs were gas too. |

| If we're talking english dubs specifically, Fullmetal Alchemist (either one), Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop, Last Exile and Shingeki no Bahamut were pretty good. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| FMAB has a really solid dub that really adds onto the comedy in it, and then you have Ghost Stories which is an actual masterpiece of a dub |
Promethazine said: Am I the only one who used to watch Pokemon in dub constantly when I was a little kid. Nope, I used to love the pokemon dub as a kid. Now watching the japanese subs when I'm older I realize how inferior the dub is to the sub lol |

| Personally, I don't mind either subs or dubs but since subs come out first, I usually watch those. I really enjoy the dubs that come out of any work licensed by Aniplex and very few that come from Funimation. I enjoyed Psycho Pass dub & sub but I feel like nothing can top Dr. Stone. I watched Dr. Stone interchangeably as if nothing were different, I enjoyed that dub a lot. Kudos to their hard work I'm not one to bash anyone that enjoys either & I feel like that's where the problem of this debate lies. It's okay to prefer one over the other, that's your tastes, but no need to ridicule someone who doesn't share your views because voice actors and seiyuus put in a lot of effort and time to deliver their work and we need to repsect that. We could never do what they're doing for a living. |
