To be honest, I've tried watching dubs, because this is just me but excessive sub reading can be annoying at times, and they sometimes flash on the screen and go away before I can read them, so I've tried dubs, but the voice acting kind of just sucks most of the time.

The only dub I've watched that feels natural with vocal talent is Death Note, and Steins;Gate was good aswell, but can anyone give me any others?

If I remember correctly, Code Geass had decent to above average voice acting.

DBZ (Goku's original voice is too cringeworthy)
Cowboy Bebop (the standard every dub has to match)
Space Dandy (dub is funnier)
Baccano (the characters have more distinct accents that fit the time period)
FMA:B
Hellsing Ultimate (dub Alucard is sexy as hell)

And that's just a few, there's actually quite a number which are good to must-watch dubbed.

I saw a bit of the Kill la Kill one. It was alright.

The Attack on Titan one and the Gurren Lagann were pretty awful. But you might like them. You never know lol.

I think YuYu Hakusho is probably one of the better ones I've heared.

Other than that... I guess I prefer English dub of TTGL over sub but that's pretty much it. Don't really listen to english dubs anymore other than when I rewatch those 2 series but I heavily prefer english dubs over subs on those 2

Ghost Stories

I think most of the dubs I watched I thought were good at the time because I was still new to anime. The K-On! dub sounded beautiful when I first watched it but now it sounds horrible to me.

The dub for Ghost Stories is the only thing that makes the anime watchable.

of course. FMA is legendary on both sides, hakusho was great as well. the only dub that is superior to the jap dub in every way, however, is DBZ.

If you want specific ones though, Yu Yu Hakusho, Death Note, Inuyasha and Angel Beats are exceptional.

I am really not that picky when it comes to dubs, I get headaches when I watch too much subbed anime. But funimation probably makes the best ones imo. Or pretty much anything that's aired on adult swim.

Off the top of my head...
Fma brotherhood (best dub imo)
Black lagoon
Baacano
Cowboy bebop
Ergo proxy
Samurai champloo
Casshern sins
Kill la kill (i didn't like the dub but others did)
Code geass
Ghost stories (which everyone will mention now because it's weirdly popular all of a sudden)

My list has a dub tag if you want to check that out too.

Cowboy Bebop and Baccano definitely come to mind first.

Others include
GTO - Steve Blum is always amazing
Yu Yu Hakusho - Probably my favorite shounen dub ever.
Spice and Wolf - Very well acted, especially Holo
FMA: Both original and Brotherhood - Both are amazing
Monster - It's better to watch it dubbed IMO, Johan Liebert's voice just fits better.
Berserk - Both sub and dub are amazing, but dub wins because bloopers and Guts.
Fate/Zero - So many amazing VA's in one show.
Hellsing Ultimate(Mainly because Crispin Freeman as Alucard is amazing)
DRRR!! - Everyone's personality is done much better in the dub, I can't even stand the sub anymore.
Black Lagoon - It fits better.
Gankutsuou - The Count's VA(Jamieson Price) does an amazing job, but the Albert's VA is annoying(Although it might just be the character himself)
Ghost in the Shell(SAC)- Dub > Sub.

Are you people serious about fate zero? I haven't seen the dub but how does one even go about getting people to voice the like of saber, kiritsugu, and ESPECIALLY kirei in english?
