| I prefer sub 99% of the time, but the dub of Yu Yu Hakusho is so iconic and in m opinion fits the chracters better. This made me wonder other anime where dub fits the anime better than the sub, making the overall experience more enjoyable. You can give popular anime, or less known anime. |

| https://myanimelist.net/anime/42310/Cyberpunk__Edgerunners I also personally love the Code Geass dub more, I think Johnny Yong Bosch's voice fits Lelouch perfectly. |

| @_ohara Truly. I had imagined the opening post to be something along the lines of "All dubs are bLaSPhEmOuS tRaSh", but there was no reply yet. That crowd is gonna arrive soon. |

| Unless it's a silent movie, All anime are dubbed. |
| https://myanimelist.net/anime/527/Pokemon because most people play the games in English as well, and the Japanese Pokemon names are too different. |

| Romeo x Juliet - VAs speak in a casual form of iambic pentameter Black Lagoon Baccano! Cowboy Bebop FMA Emma A Victorian Romance got a dub that looked good Dragon Ball - I am sorry I don't like Goku's JP voice. That ain't changing and I have nostalgia for the original dub. Also I really love the Faulconer OST, and recut with the Kai release is my ideal way to watch DBZ. Yeah Edgerunners Basically it's usually works that could benefit from a good dub due to setting (taking place in more international/usually anglophone settings). I will say, as someone who still plans to watch Chainsaw Man subbed, I was actually quite surprised how good the dub was. On par with the Japanese. _ohara said: Well that's on sub watchers for getting triggered about people watching dubs. They can simply not post you know, since they don't think there are any. I watch 95% of anime subbed, and I can admit there are some good and fitting dubs.This thread is gonna turn toxic real soon. |

| Non Asian dub: Cyberpunk Edgerunners I prefer the Polish one over Japanese, while English is good but I would rather Japanese. While for Romantic Killer is the same but mainly because of cast choice as Japanese voices just doesn't appeal to me to the age of characters while in Polish it is more grounded. Asian dub: So far I only choose To be hero X Japanese dub over original Chinese. |
| Heard the Pizza Cats english dub is better than the original dub. The french dubs for City Hunter and Hokuto no Ken are legendary too (for wrong reasons, but still funny af) |

| I mean, the most well-known is the Ghost Stories dub it made anime a lot more popular than it was before. I don’t think it’s better, but Saiki K. has a very good dub that actually suits the humor as well as the original. |
| I think, generally, comedy show dubs are better just because different languages tend to have different comedic timing and inflections. So like the Saiki K dub, I think that's a lot funnier than it is subbed. |

| I mostly watch anime in Japanese audio without subs, but I just tried the first 2 episodes of Bofuri season 1 in English dub and it was great! Is it "better" than the original? I don't know, does it even matter if it's enjoyable? |
| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

| @Joshhhp there is no such thing as a Japanese dub where anime is concerned. Manhwa and Donghua yes, but not anime. |
| cowboy bebop ...absolutely no question. other retro elite anime in the same sort of era had great dubs too...like macross plus. ninja scroll, akira, ghost in the shell, and many more this is why i will always dunk on nooby zoomer sub try hards...they dont realize or understand that dub was king back in the golden age |
| Cowboy Bebop, Golden Boy, Great Pretender, Tiger & Bunny, and Black Lagoon, just to name a few |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| Alya Russian The show went viral across Social Media for a while due to the insanely epic dub featuring the sister of the MC Where will you ever hear in anime shows of a sister saying "chat we cooked" or " give your sis a squeeze" |

| @billybub In Animatrix dub some of the characters were voiced by the actors who portrayed them in the movie, making it more authentic than the "original audio". Same logic can be applied to Supernatural anime where the main characters were voiced by the same guys who portrayed them in the original show. There are some other similar examples as well, but I think I've made my point. |

| I don't think anime dubs are necessarily worse than anime subs. |

| As a fan of Dr. Stone, the official subtitles are genuinely awful and stripped back a lot of elements of the character's speech patterns that made them unique. Gen's syllable-swaps were removed, catchphrases were inconsistently translated, and overall it felt like a more sterilized localization for clarity rather than trying to accurately give English speakers the same experience as Japanese audiences. The dub meanwhile actually solves these issues by making Gen speak in pig-latin and having Chrome call things "baaaad" to translate his catchphrase consistently while keeping the leniency of it being able to be used in a positive or negative context (as is in it can be used as either "badass" or "awful"). The dub just showed more care of keeping the character's personalities intact which I would argue is an important thing in a series like Dr. Stone where there are many colorful characters with quirky personality traits, so to see them actively gutted in the subs just makes the dub the definitive way to watch for people who are not fluent in the Japanese language. |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| cowboy bebop and samurai champloo. maybe i'm just a steve blum fanboy though |
  goodnight |
| (In terms of my personal preference) Cyberpunk Edgerunners is my all-time favorite dub; rest are in no particular order Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Monster Code Geass Hellsing Ultimate Dragon Ball (Z not so much but by the time FUNimation got around to doing the original series they had stepped up their game) Berserk |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| Honestly? I think I actually like the English dub of Gurren laggan better than the Japanese. |
 |
| Nobody cares about sub vs dub in 2025. |
| I usually watch the anime dubs, rather than the anime subs. Are you mad, bro? |

| Yu-Gi-Oh, DM and GX. 4Kids understands the inherent absurdity of the premise, and hams it up accordingly while throwing in funny zingers. Sub for DM is more self-serious while still not accurately representing the manga story in many ways (e.g. Kaiba being less of a jerk compared to manga and 4Kids dub). |

| @MelodyOfMemory I would say the GX dub is inferior by virtue of being incomplete. I would recommend it if 4kids had dubbed the whole thing. |
