Which non-english dub did a better job than the sub?

German JJK is really good as a dub, and i enjoyed Dandadan in german too.

I wouldn’t say a lot better but I think Light sounds more his age in the dub than sub so I prefer it because it makes certain scenes more apt?

@ApfelMyName i haven't seen any clips on German dub of JJK but i did see some clips of Sukuna in Russian and it was awesome

I think Yucie from petite princess Yucie had a better dub voice than the Japanese. Sad too because her English voice actor only did this one series according to MAL.

Steins;Gate ger dub, I find the mad scientist laugh sounds even better than the original.

@dndlion Here is a vid Tommy Morgenstern really cooked with sukuna
but german gojo is really good too.

@Retro8bit it's interesting that you included an older show,many people today might say that old dubs were awful 99%of the time
Also i'll have to check out this one,i've never heard of it before:)

Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I wouldn't necessarily say it's better than the Japanese dub on a technical level - it still has the usual issues of awkward timing and speech patterns - but the story taking place in an American city makes the English dub just work better. also, some of the character are voiced by the same VAs as in the game, and there are actually some Japanese characters that do still speak Japanese in the English dub just like they do in the game.

I'd also say that most dubs of DBZ do a better job than the original, simply based on the fact that Goku and Gohan sound like an old lady.

for anything that takes place in Japan though, no dub will ever do a better job than the original. honorifics are borderline untranslatable without skewing their meaning, and without them a huge part of the social structure and relationship between characters goes missing.

I think English dubs are usually fairly good. Prove me wrong.

The french dubs is excellent in a lot of anime. Gto, Black Lagoon, Death note, One piece, Monster and a lot more.

Of course the original Japanese voice is the best among all, but as for dubbing, I find the Arabic dub the best for me, because I grew up on it and it was very wonderful and full of good values ​​for children, I loved the anime and started watching it because of this wonderful dubbing.. especially the old one it was creative, they even dubbed the anime songs.

If this dubbing didn't exist, we wouldn't have known about these beautiful animes..So I am very grateful to my favorite kids channel Spacetoon and to all the other Arab institutions that work on dubbing anime for us since we were young.

I Also Like Naruto Shippuden English dubbing It was so amazing especially Madara's voice it's really good..
and HunterXHunter 99 in English dudding was amazing especially Killua and hisoka It was cood and cool.. I remember that the English dubbing that I saw was from Canada so I'm very thankful ^^

Not sure how it compares to Japanese and English as I haven't seen it yet, but I have heard many positive things about the LATAM Spanish dub of Dragon Ball Z with Mario Castañeda's portrayal of Goku being pretty well liked among Spanish speakers.

@LOLOz Thank you for sending such great dubs
I listened to all of them and i have to say,they're better than i expected
Slam Dunk was cool,HxH 1999 has a beautiful vocal that goes perfectly with this melody and Pokemon is jusr great no matter which dub you choose
I think Arabic can be great for these Opening songs if done right because Arabic is very charming and poetic

I also agree with you on Naruto's English dub which is great
They did a great job with the voices like Madara,Pain,Naruto,Sasuke,Kakashi,Jiraiya,Rock Lee...

@dndlion Thank you for this wonderful topic, and thank you for listening to these openings. Yes, the Arabic language is very charming, and if you watch the dubbed animes, you will be enchanted by their dubbing style. They also add good values ​​and morals to teach us in each series. There are also anime openings that they wrote by themselves, such as Dragon Ball Z, Conan, and many others, but unfortunately they are not famous, despite all the efforts they have made for us, which have influenced many generations, even Animelist did not put the names of the Arab dubbers with the rest of the world's dubbers to add them in my favorites People list, even though they are very wonderful ,and this is so sad (T_T)

@LOLOz It's awesome that they put so much love into dubs and that they wanna teach us about good morals and values instead of just hyper producing dubs so they can get money off of it

Polish dubbing for "Howl no Ugoku Shiro" 😍


The only dubbing I like, the other polish dubbings irritates me 😆

I rarely watch dubs, but remember I watching few clips of Azumanga daioh in other languages and it was just as hilarious.

Dutch dubs for stuff like Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-gi-oh,.... Weren't the best but I'm so used to it from when I was younger, that I like them more than the english ones.

It was pretty funny though, having the same voice actors in every anime and even as a kid being able to immediately point it out.
