Tracey Moore / Terri Hawkes - the English dubbed Sailor Moon/ Usagi. And I still have a few more episodes to finish the franchise. Shocking voice difference from the original. Horrendous 'adult-trying-to-sound-like-a-kid' acting.


Linda (name may be wrong) Ballantyne was worse.


Was she the one who also did Sailormoon? I swear it's just god-awful sound.

Who ever did the voice of Tai in the original Digimon for the English dub, his voice is fucking everywhere and I hate it
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

On another note someone who is REALLY good in dub is Greg Ayres.

His voice work in Ouran and Beck were..amazing..
He can really sound like a kid :O

As for my answers? Johnny Yong Bosch and Vic Mignogna turned me off dubs forever. Japanese? Ai Nonoka, Aya Hirano, and a large portion of Kugimiya Rie's roles. I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.

This thread makes me sad.

Jun Fukuyama is one of my favourite seiyuu.

I agree with the Rie Kugimiya hate in some ways, when whenever you watch something tsundere it's her, but she's still great in other roles. The reason she's on my favourites list is because of her voicing Kagura in Gintama, and in my opinion she's perfect for the role.

As for someone i hate, there probably wasn't anyone absolutely terrible, because i don't really remember anyone in particular.

Don't think there are really bad voice actors from what I've seen. You could have a big hatred on someone I guess. It's just more about the characters and if the voice goes well with it. Then again, I'm quite easily satisfied and don't get annoyed quick.

The only instance of absolutely terrible work I can recall off the top of my head is Kaneda Tomoko's role as Aoi in Myself;Yourself. It was earshatteringly horrific. She was adorable as Chiyo, but wow did Aoi make me want to smash something.
My God. It was like the first time hearing that... that... monstrosity. I couldn't take that anime with a serious face at all even though it's supposed to be somewhat drama-tear-droopy. Bringing this up just makes me remind of that awful, awful sound. I honestly don't know how anyone could possibly like that voice. And yeah, Chiyo's voice actually fits and was nice. (Though I think I watched half of Azumanga Daioh in English.)

Another voice I can't deal with would be Mamiko Noto, who Gosh, features in a lot of anime I've seen already. I can't precisely explain why, too soft? or... weak? or... Meh. It isn't particularly a hate either, annoyance, maybe? Sheesh.

I can't really say I have a least favorite Japanese voice actor since I don't know the language and I can't tell whether the actor's being sincere or not.

As for English, it's probably Richard Epcar. He was tolerable in Kingdom Hearts II, but hearing him in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex made me want to break something.

English dub and Japanese



Since I am not fluent in Japanese I can not actually whether or some some Japanese voice actor is a lousy voice actor. I however can say that sometimes I do come across a voice of a character or two I do not like for example in a sub the character Himeji's voice in Himawari! I did not really like,again since I am not fluent in Japanese I can not tell if the voice actress who does that character's voice is a shitty voice actress. A voice I did not like in a dubbed series is the Character Molly's voice in Sailor Moon,if Molly and Serena are supposed to be from the same town then why does she have accent?

I usually don't pay much attention to the voice acting because it just needs to be acceptable to be good. So far the worst voice acting I've ever seen and heard is the whole cast of Inukami! and the whole female cast of School Rumble. They don't even match the movements of the drawings for gods sake.

What makes Hocchan great is how versatile she is. Looking at all the different characters she played last year, and how many of them have different distinct voices is quite a feat for one seiyuu.

wow there are really people who hate Johnny and Jun? Man this world is cruel.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised since I already knew there were people who hated Chris Patton =(

I don't think any of the well known voice actors are that bad, it's only the ones you come across once in a while who are completely unknown and probably got hired because they were delivering pizza to the cheapass production company that couldn't be bothered to hire real voice actors. Like whoever did the voices in 'when they cry' dub. I couldn't even watch 3 minutes of that.

You could have just said Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, not like it matters anyway. I have heard the dub sucks ass compared to the sub. Also, Johnny and Chris are awesome. Dis them and I'll burn your house down.

Ehh..I'm not really familiar enough with most voice actors to have and specific hated ones, but there have been a few that just didn't seem the fit the character at all..

One being Mugen in the Japanese version of Samurai Champloo. (Looked it up: Kazuya Nakai) From the first episode I saw of that series through watching the entire thing twice, I'd only heard the English dubbed version. I was in for a huge surprise when I started watching it in Japanese one day. Mugen's voice scared the bejeebers out of me (seriously)! I know most anime fans usually prefer the Japanese voices over English dubs (for the authenticity, I guess? And sometimes the English dubs just suck), but I usually pick dubs whenever they're available so I can focus more on the action/art without having to worry about missing a line. And in my opinion, Mugen's Japanese voice does not fit him AT ALL. Steven Blum, who does the English voice, definitely seems to capture the character perfectly, but of course it's all relative.

Obviously that doesn't mean Kazuya Nakai is a bad voice actor...I've only really listened to a couple minutes of him anyway XD But other than that, no one specifically comes to mind.

Who exactly are rating them? It's not like there's a system where we "rate" them from 1-10 or something. There's just a favourite list, (which is a long way from rating something), and I happen to like her songs, much more so than her voice acting career. Even when a lot of people call her or Jun "the best!", it's only because they like the voice (and there's no need to change it) or they haven't heard anything more charismatic.

I may just be tl;dr because I "hate" the word overrated. So uh, don't worry about it.

I actually liked Mamiko a lot, but I'm not sure how I started to hate it. Now I can't stand her character in Kimi ni Todoke and it's just...annoying. I'm not sure if it is too cute or something, but there is something that bothers me when I listen to her. I do have to say that her acting is good, is the voice that's the problem.
