| The only series i would watch in dubs over the subs would be FMA (2003) Black Lagoon Code Gease Blasreiter ergo Proxy :) and Yugioh 5D's nah i'm screwing with you on the last one. |

| Baccano, Ouran HSHC, Fruits Basket, Nabari no Ou. Can't think of anything else :p |
 |
| Beck Mongolian Chop Squad - Because there's a lot of slang and watching the sub, with all of its translation notes, will kill you. Also because there are songs that the characters sing in English. For a Japanese viewer there's coolness factor of singing in a different language. An American viewer however hears how badly the voice actor is butchering our language. You're going to want to watch the dub for this series Baccano! - Since it takes place in America, watching it in English gives you the opportunity to hear all the different American 30's accents. You miss out on this added atmosphere by not watching the English dub. Romeo X Juliet - With the sub you get an English translation. With the dub you get more appropriate Elizabethan lingo. |

| Trigun also, it's much more rewarding in English since it's implied throughout the series that the characters are American. |
| --Marigolds |
| Baccano,Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Death Note, Ouran, Black Lagoon, Beck, Trigun, Fullmetal Alchemist, Welcome to the NHK, Fullmetal Panic, Darker than Black, Eden of the East, Haruhi, Gurren Lagann, GTO, Rurouni Kenshin, Planetes, Azumanga Daioh, Fate Stay Night, DBZ, Cromartie, Akira... i could keep goin, most of these i consider better than their japanese dub |
| Kind of odd how your rationalization on why Baccano was good dubbed, realistic representation of accents contradicts why you think Beck has a good dub. Since their band is Japanese and we see them in Japan and America their singing in English would most likely have a Japanese accent. That would be a representation of Jrock. So saying "Yea" to fake 30s accents while in the same post saying "Nay" to real Japanese accents seems a bit off. |

| I've never seen an anime with a good sub except lucky star has an okay one XD Probably because it's slice of life and has no dramatic scenes Dub ruins all the dramatic scenes and makes me laugh Dx |
| Death Note. That's the only dub I liked |

| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad. It is one of those rare 5% anime where the english dub is actually better than the japanese. And the music in it is incredible. Grey Ayres needs to stop being a voice actor, and become a vocalist for a band. |

| A lot of current dubs sound pretty bad to me. Maybe it is because all I've been watching for the past two years are subs. Very early dubs sound like crap. More recent ones sound very amateurish, largely because the distribution companies are feeling the pinch are are cutting corners on scripting and on first class voice actors. When they get it right, a dub can actually work better for English speaking audiences because of the way some things translate, or don't translate well. -Before ADV folded a two or three years ago they turned out some of the best dubs in the business. I really miss them. They also included great extras that explained aspects of Japanese culture, interviews with voice actors and more. Some of their best are: Arc the Lad Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 Chrono Crusade D.N. Angel Elfen Lied Full Metal Panic! Gantz Gasaraki Getbackers Ghost Stories (the dub has nothing what so ever to do with the original script. It is the ADV crew screwing around and it is hilarious!) Gilgamesh Grave of the Fireflies Gravion Kaleido Star Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World Le Chevalier D'Eon Madlax Moonlight Mile Neon Genesis Evangelion Ninja Resurrection Noir Princess Tutu Rah Xephon Red Garden Saiyuki Saiyuki: Requiem The Place Promised in Our Early Days Utawarerumono Venus Versus Virus Voices of a Distant Star Some great ADV voice actors: Greg Ayres, Hilary Haag, Braden Hunt, David Matranga, Vic Mignogna, Chris Patton, Illich Guardiola, Jason Douglas . . . -Bandai Entertainment put out some good ones like" Argento Soma Betterman Big O Cowboy Bebop (Beau Billingslea, Steven Blum) Escaflowne Eureka Seven Flag Ghost in the Shell Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade Kaze no Yojimbo Mars Daybreak Most of the Gundam's Mugen no Ryvius Onegai Teacher Outlaw Star Planetes Scryed Seikai no Senki Seikai no Senki II Seikai no Monshou Silent Mobius Witch Hunter Robin Wolf's Rain Yukikaze -Central Park Media Armored Trooper Votoms Beast City Big Wars Black Jack Cyber City Oedo 808 Mobile Police Patlabor Patlabor Record of Lodoss WAr Revolutionary Girl Utena -Disney did most if not all the Miyazazki dubs and they are excellent. Castle in the Sky Gake no Ue no Ponyo Howl's MOving Castle Kiki's Delivery Service My Neighbor Totoro Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Princess Mononoke Spirited Away The Cat Returns Whisper of the Heart .....and a couple I haven't seen yet -FUNimation does o.k. sometimes: (Note - You'll see some old ADV titles listed under FUNimation because they bought them when ADV went under.)

| I rarely watch shows dubbed. But if accidently downloaded a show with Double Audio, I always check both languishes. And the best I've heard are: Baccano Cowboy Bebop Death Note ( I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT) Fullmetal Alchemist Soul Eater (Even tho the original cast is lightyears better, it's still a soild dub) Spice & Wolf |
"I don't believe in a lot of things but I do believe in duct tape!"  |
| Q:"Which anime is good in Dub?" A: None. But really, I think the only dubs I didn't completely hate were Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, and even then the original versions were better. |
| think I already posted here... ermm anyway I heart TTGL dub because IMO viral's dubbed voice is WAYYY sexier :P |
Fake_Sketch said: TTGL, the giga drill breakers are better Those had no flare. |

| Series that have stood out for me with their dub work: Baccano! The series is set in America, imo the English VA cast do a better job of portraying the time period than the Japanese VA cast does. Gurren Lagann. Translation 'flaws' aside (giga drill breaker v. giga drill break, which people constantly bring up for reasons unknown to me), the cast are suitably over the top and burning with battle spirit. Viral, young!Simon and Kamina are probably the strongest voices of the English dub, but everyone's good. Code Geass. Particularly obvious with Lelouch, who sounds much more...lively in English compared to his Japanese counterpart, who is suitably scheming sounding but tends to sound as though he's woken up from a nap. Again, the entire cast is solid. Cowboy Bebop. Brilliant English cast, especially Spike. Actually, speaking of Spike, look up Steven Blum's roles and pick anime dubs he has a main role in, I personally think he's one of the most talented guys in the industry. Honestly, the only 'bad' dubs really are the stuff from the '90's prior, when the thing was to drastically cut series for the English release (Robotech, Sailor Moon, One Piece) and companies cheaped out of lip syncing animation. If you can watch English action series without squirming, you can put up with the majority of modern voice work in dubs. c: |

| Beck Mongolian Chop Squad This tops my best dubs list. It was so good I started reading manga because of it. It's one of the animes that doesn't get the amount of credit it deserves |
| I don't normally remember my opinions on the VA of anime that I've watched, since I place more emphasis on storyline, characters etc. However, I'll add my name to the long list of those saying Baccano! has a good english dub. Gotta love those 30s American accents. I also liked Death Note, Code Geass, Lucky Star, (with the exception of Patricia Martin), Haruhi and Haibane Renmei. |
 |
| Evangelion: You Are (Not) Alone has surprisingly good english actors. Spice and Wolf's dub has mediocre actors, but Holo's actress, Brina Palencia, did a very good job, so I'd say the dub is watchable. This from someone who usually hates dubs. ^^ Hmm...also DBZ - I really think the english dub was better then the original japanese. Compare Goku's voice in both. Of course, my opinion may have been influenced by my watching DBZ as a kid. =P |
| Naruto seasons even shippuden: Hmmph, the fansub is great =) & easy to understand. Even Gakuen Alice. |
| invisible signature \m/ |
| Full Metal Alchemist is always top of my list. Death Note and Neon Genesis follow afterwards. |
  |
| GTO - the dub version is infinitely more funny (maybe watch the sub version if you haven't seen the series yet) |
| Spirited Away Soul Eater Fruits Basket Kiki's Delivery Service Howl's Moving Castle Inuyasha Bleach at least thats my opinion |
 |
| Full Metal Alchemist is pretty good and i heard Heroic Age is better in dub |
 |
| I like Shiki and Death Note dubbed :/... and Spirited Away. Imo, the Free! dub is nothing like the Japanese version and atrocious. |

| Many popular anime have a great dub. An underrated with a great dub would be: Jormugand. |
 |
| Way too many to list here, around 236 various series, movies and OVAs in my opinion, based on what I've seen. |

| Outlanders Gall Force Slayers You're Under Arrest I've recently found that I tend to enjoy dubs of these kid of 80s and 90s shows despite usually being very sub-only oriented. Most of the biggest issues I tend to have with dubs aren't very relevant there. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Most of what's been listed I agree with. but for outlaw star and black lagoon, I hated the dubs. Mostly because the MC's sounded so annoying. Though for black lagoon , having heard the subbed ver. first there was too much dissonance in the attitudes of the characters for me. Now for my contribution, I quite enjoyed Steins' Gate and Index(has some of the same cast as soul eater) |

| Tick tock, tick tock. The gears continued to spin. Regularly, mechanically, inevitably. And so, they continued to count time as it existed. Even as clocks stopped, it meant nothing. Even when damaged, twisted, the wheel of time would continue to spin. Regularly, mechanically, inevitably. Tick tock, tick tock |
| People tend to get used to whatever language is in their first run through a show unless it's absolute shit. ProfsrRandus said: Though for black lagoon , having heard the subbed ver. first there was too much dissonance in the attitudes of the characters for me. The sub was actually pretty bad, especially with the tryhard engrish. Other than that English would make the most sense as the language that all of the characters are speaking and the English script fits the tone of the series a lot more. |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| For me the only stuff that are close to not passable or just plain bad are the older show. The only big complaint I have about dubs is the small pool of actors they choose from. |
| Ghost stories couldn't come up with something better |
| If its not a harem im not interested.....😑😑😑 |

| Just watch in subs. Best experience you can get plus original voice actors. |
