Code Geass. That dub was great, and definitely better than the sub imo. There's a couple other good ones too, but none stick out the same way.

People might get pissy over this opinion but I think FMAB's dub is objectively better than sub. Why? Literally just watch both versions of Mustang vs Envy. You'll see the difference in emotion.

I know there are people out there who can't stand Vic Micnogna's voice, which is understandable, but the emotion present in the dub supersedes sub. This rarely happens.

I prefer the English dub of Kanon (2006) over the Japanese dub. Not sure if it's because I watched it in English first but the voice acting was consistently great and I enjoyed it a lot

In most cases, I prefer the Subbed over the Dubbed. Like in practically every situation. But there are Dubs that I actually like a lot with some original anime. And I've also heard that Sword Art Online has a really good English Dub. So I'm curious about re-watching the first season in English.

Nothing. I find the American accents really annoying. Even just the fact that it's English is annoying. I find it grating.

I don't like watching American movies dubbed into Japanese though.

Just my opinion anyway.

It's rare for me to have watched a show (or even any significant part of it) twice, once with Japanese audio and once with English audio, but I've done it a few times, and in the cases of The Asterisk War and Four Rhythm Across the Blue, I happen to like the English audio more.

But usually I just pick English audio first and see if I like it; if I don't I switch to Japanese audio.

Nah you can try it it's simply my personal preference. You'll know how you feel after an episode or two.

I don't have much experience with dubs, but there are two I've seen that I thought were pretty great. Hellsing (both TV and Ultimate) and Cowboy Bebop. I think both of these are as good, if not better, than the Japanese versions. The fact that they both take place outside of Japan, which makes it easier to accept the English dialog, may play a part, but they're also just really well-done overall.

I’ve only watched the dub for it, but I much prefer Edward Elric’s voice in the dub of FMA:B compared to the sub. His dub voice suits him very well, whereas the sub voice is a bit too high-pitched imo.

And Goku’s dub voice in DBZ also suits him better than his sub voice imo.

Other than those two, I prefer basically everything subbed.

Black Lagoon, Beck, and Cowboy Bebop are all considered to have a better dub than sub. Baccano, FMA(B), Hellsing Ultimate, and Fate (Zero/UBW iirc) are also good options.

Basically shows that are based outside Asia have better dubs than those in Asia.

Only ones that come to my mind are Pokemon Indigo League and Dragonball Z both of them back in the day, and only because I heard them first in dub and got used to those voices.
Otherwise I always prefer subs.

I didn't list some because I either haven't heard the sub or think they are both equal to one another.

Sub > Dub, the dub voices don't seem natural for the characters, like they are just trying to voice act without filling the part.

CreativeNam3 and I were talking about Code Geass, are you specifically talking about it as well?

Most anime I watch is subbed but CG is one of the few I've always watched in English.

Probably anime that I watched at the start of watching anime.. Some of the old shows I just stumbled upon being dubbed, and just liked them like that, and that's it.. Nowadays I won't choose any anime being dubbed, though.. I prefer original Japanese voice acting.. Only maybe in games I can accept official English dub - in JRPGs like Persona or Neptunia, I mean..

As a dub watcher myself, I know that there are heaps of anime that I think have dubs that are a bit better than the original.

Basically, I think any anime that takes place in the west (or have a western-influenced setting) would be better if you watch it in dubbed. While it may not apply to all of them (Black Butler's dub for example still isn't really as good as the original despite having the characters actually sounding British; and also there are cases like Pandora Hearts which was never dubbed in English), it definitely applies to shows such as:
Cowboy Bebop
Baccano
FMA
Soul Eater
Blood Blockade Battlefront
Gurren Lagann
and a few others

Even some anime that takes place in Japan can also have better dubs than original (depending on how you look at it):
MHA
Code Geass
Haruhi Suzumiya
Ouran High School Host Club
Death Note
Durarara
The Devil's a Part Timer
School Rumble
Ghost Stories (definitely watch this one dubbed)

No. I can't imagine consuming foreign media dubbed. Original voice cast is the intended voice cast.

That's the whole purpose of dubbing to be honest. To appeal people like this.
