anime nowadays is mostly watched in japanese, and why? Because its anime of course. I usually hate dubs for animes because of it lack of feel in voices and how unrealistic it sounds. However like everyhting in the world, there are execptions. Do you know any anime that had english dubs that actually became superior than the japanese voices where at least more than half of characters were better?

Bebop. When it comes to DBZ Goku's , teen Gohan's, Krillin's, Cell's voices are better in English but the rest of the voices are better in Japanese.

Cowboy Bebop and Akira and the original Vampire Hunter D (probably out of nostalgia.)

Pretty much what everyone said above. In my experience, most of the better sounding dubs come from action-oriented anime; I would think it's simply because that is what the English language tends to be----a rebellious sort of language that lends itself to revolution and constantly changes overtime. That being said, I have no optimism at all for any dub that tries to encompass romantic themes and those of rather "very-anime-googly-eyed-uguu" type characters.

Just to add to the list...
-FMA
-FLCL (I at least found it to be quite favorable, especially Haruko's voice)
EDIT: Looks like someone added it before me, ufufu ^

i'd say redline is the biggest upgrade from sub to dub (other than DBZ)

it's probably not the best one though

Cowboy Bebop is the uber-example. Next would be Baccano and then there's the amazing Hellsing TV series and OVAs. I think Spice and Wolf was better dubbed as well. For a more silly anime like a harem-type, Highschool DxD has a pretty good dub.

I know I've said it before, but Funi later redid the dub and used the original Japanese music. I even have a triple-audio downloaded version that has the Japanese audio, English+original music, and English+dub music. Whatever issues there may be with the DBZ dub, the music is no longer a legitimate one. And it's funny how this "first version people saw is the definitive enduring version" mindset only applies to English dubs. Nobody ever says "To Love Ru Darkness is full of censorship" or "Bakemonogatari is full of incomplete animation" based on the Japanese TV broadcasts.

+1

Aside from that, I'm just going to have to go with everyone else saying that the old dubs such as Bebop were great. I rarely watch dubs any more, aside from DBZ and Pokemon (lol, but Pokemon subs seem to be near-impossible to find anyway), but occasionally I'll watch an old series I haven't seen before in dub, I'm currently doing that with Trigun.
Also, although it's rare, there are some occasions where every sub I find for a series is utter shit, so I just turn to the dub instead. And as was the case with DBZ and Goku's hilarious Japanese voice, sometimes the dub voiced are actually better than the originals.

Good Dubs for me
1. Death Note
2. Baccano
3. Bebop
4. TTGL

Okay Dubs
1. Code Geass
2. Monster
3. Durarara
4. Eureka Seven

Terrible Dubs
1. Digimon
2. Higurashi
3. Clannad (Don't stone me to death , I just hated most of the voice cast's acting)

I only list these , as these are the only ones I have watched both Dub and Sub , so I know how good the Dub is by comparison.

English dub no idea.
Most have been poor, and not seen bebop in English.

Cantonese dub on the other hand, there is alot of examples that I feel are superior or equally matched to their Japanese Counterparts.
