Title!

Read that both the dub and sub was bad so which is the "least" bad?

Sub is better in my opinion.

Now seriously, I haven't watched it dubbed, but I generally like the original subbed version, so I would recommend this one.

Elfen Lied> Clannad master race. I haven't watched Lied in years. I think I preferred the sub.

As someone who generally likes/defends dubs, and who's actually seen Elfen Lied in both languages... I have to say sub. It's the kind of show that was always going to be hard to dub, and the director and actors weren't up to the challenge. Performances are okay at best. The dub is listenable if you don't like/can't stand Japanese voices, and isn't quite among the very worst I've heard. But it's not one where I'm ever going to say, "you gotta check out this show dubbed!" I mainly watched the dub myself because it was my 3rd time watching the show, and I wanted a little variety. Watching it dubbed the first time may well have "killed the feeling," as the dub detractors say.

Some of the characters sound alright in dub, but there's a few that are just unbearable. I'd go sub.

It's a pretty terrible show, but it's one of my guilty pleasures. Go with sub, the English dub is an atrocity and should be charged with crimes against humanity.

Yeah, it's in the Relations List on the Uber-Elitist list. Let's all hate on it because it's there!

The show is average with plenty enjoyable and bone-chilling moments, but it's not too good compared to other shows in its niche.

Well I watched it in Sub and considering how Sun usually is better I would go with that. And all you haters are really stupid it's not about the gore or the ecchi it's about the think and psychology behind this beautiful anime and I think all you haters are stupid.
