| The Clannad dub was terrible. Nagisa and Tomoya were alright but almost everyone else sounded like crap. The jokes were translated well. Plus it got a lot better in After Story. But overall, it's a pretty bad dub. K-On is another bad dub. The voice acting is good but the script is just awful. They take liberties where they shouldn't and leave obscure Japanese references that could be easily translated. For example, yen is translated into dollars but a Japanese song about auxiliary verbs is left in with the English voice actor singing in Japanese. I will give them points for leaving in 'Azunyan'. I must clarify that I have no opinion on dubs vs subs. This is not a dub vs sub thread. Even if you only watch dubs, you must have seen at least a few that affected the show's quality |

| Higurashi dub was horrible. There's no feeling, and that really takes away from the atmosphere. |
| D.N.Angel just bottles down to terrible acting. |
| Code Geass...probably because the way they talk sounds gay in both dubs... One Piece...sounds cheesy 90% of old old anime |

This is also quite amazing. |
| Clannad's dubs are pretty bad. It isn't until like half way through after story that they finally start sounding decent. |

| Excel Saga is the worst I have seen personally. |

| Those who voted K-On may never saw the Animax one. Even worse than already bad American one. My own vote is 4Kids version of One Piece. Biggest WTF rap song ever. |

NK_500 said: Those who voted K-On may never saw the Animax one. Even worse than already bad American one. It's not really popular enough to deserve a mention. I thought the voice acting was great in the Bang Zoom dub. Cristina Vee is a solid Mio and Cassandra Lee is pretty close to her seiyuu. Stephanie Sheh was a bad choice for Yui but she does the best she can. Christine Marie Cabanos is good as Azusa and the rest of the cast is okay. But the script? Awful. Worst translation choices I've ever heard. That's what makes the K-On dub so bad. And this comes from someone who has watched both seasons dubbed and subbed. The first season's quality isn't really affected by the dubbing but the Second Season is damn near unwatchable if you watched the sub first. It's really the only show I've seen where a dub has made the show worse for reasons other than shoddy acting and stupid edits. |

| The DearS dub was pretty bad. |
| I can't find just dubbed clips from this show sadly. But it's not that the dub itself is bad, it's just the entire show is bad- But funny-bad. "DEAR PRINCE. I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL!" |

| Cartoon Network dub of Gundam Wing... Relena's voice was so horrible that I considered dropping the series. That and the fact that she was fuckin' stupid |

| I thought the Beserk dub was pretty terrible. Also, I didn't like the Slayers one either. |
| Let's go bowling. |
| Haruhi sounds even more like a comedy in english dubbed. Gawd... |
| The Clannad dub. I love the series, but the dub was just awful. Sunohara's dubbed voice made me wanna pour acid down my throat and burn my eyes out. |
| Acting wise I would have to say A.LI.CE. It was awful. It's like they just grabbed some schmucks off the street and said "hey want a job, then just read whats on this paper". Malice@Doll would be a close second. http://myanimelist.net/anime/3463/A.LI.CE http://myanimelist.net/anime/2261/Malice@Doll |
| I actually found the Clannad dub pretty good. The only one I didn't like that much was Sunohara. Of course the Japanese is better, but I still find them all nice choices. It's the kind where even though the voices don't match the japanese voices, it still suits the character. Now kill me, I know you want to ;) |

| I don't know if this should count as an English dub or not, because this is what Japan did. Which is why there are Japanese subtitles there. Probably sounded fine to them, to us it sounds hilarious. I highly suspect that the mangaka does the girl's voice, which would explain why she sounds like a 30 year old woman and not a high schooler. You should also know that part 1 of this is two songs, the first of which is a Phil Collins song. As you can tell, this is clearly comedy gold as an OVA (shame as the manga it's based on is pretty good, and having read the manga, I can't tell what's going on in this OVA at all). Part 1 doesn't have any dialogue which is why I posted part 2. And if you're wondering why they went with English, the series takes place in America, as part 1 opens with a totally not-inappropriate-by-today's-standards glorious shot of the Twin Towers. The difference is that the entire OVA is in glorious English, but just a random funny scene in an anime with "I am maddo scientist! Itsa so khuuule! Sunnuvabitchu", but the whole painful OVA. Also, I prefer this vid for hilarious Gazery's Wing dialogue and acting But we can't fail to mention how the bad guys talk in what appears to be entirely made up words in their dialogue. It's amazing, but only more so that the dub improves the terrible story and dialogue and "characters" by making every line eligible for instant meme status. I know the topic said English dubs...but this simply must be mentioned How often do you see a dub so bad you don't even need to know the language it's dubbed in? As someone once said "it's like they're all voiced by the same 40-year old dude. This isn't a joke, it's the real dub. |

| K-ON was terrible. Also every dubbed Hentai. |

Sir_Lexa said: Sailor Moon -_- CHAWKLET PAHFAYZ! (The only thing I remember from that abomination). Birdy the Mighty had a god-awful dub. I'm talking the OVA, Decode was extremely watchable. The Tenchi series also had some sub-par dubs, but it was the '90s. Actually all of those are from the '90s. The worst post-2000 dub I've heard was Evangelion, I'd say. I switched to Japanese within 5 minutes of Episode 1. |

Not knowing what language something is dubbed into, if you don't know the language being spoken, can happen for both good and bad dubs. Because no matter the quality of the dub if you don't know the langauge then you're SOL no matter what. My Google translate says that clip is Finnish. |

| One Piece 4kids dub is aweful. They changed Zoro to Zolo and even changed guns to water guns...That's lame |
