The English version took significant liberties with the script, turning it into a comedic parody. It's an assault on your senses that makes you wonder if you accidentally tuned into some surreal parody instead of the actual show.




We've got to defend the boat by almonds! Kamishiro, enjoy your last bsnifeneen. They butcher every line, turning intense dramatic moments into painful awkwardness. It's so disastrously awful that it's almost impressive in its sheer incompetence.

The greatest crimes of humanity take place in the field of translation and localization, I say this as a translator myself.

1988 Vampire Princess Miyu... Like listening to a kid being forced to read out loud in front of the class, that dub.

I haven't watched English-dubbed anime since the early 2010s, but I remember even as a child getting absolutely aggravated by the Cardcaptor Sakura, Ojamajo, and Sonic X dubs. The voices and their intonation were so grating to listen to. Sometimes I'd just turn down the sound and watch through CC lmao.

I cant find the clip but Cipher the Video is pretty hilariously bad with it's Voice Acting. It's painful to hear yet unintentionally hilarious

I couldn't believe how bad the acting was in Princess Knight. I only watched it dubbed because I couldn't find the series in Japanese.

Isn't that one a Legend though? Hammy dubs from the OVA era are the best ones. I love Appleseed that's a good one. Legend of Lemnear... *cough COUGH*
The worst ones:
ALL HENTAI
Sailor Moon
Modern: Super Sonico dub

This Vietnamese dub is so bad it's the best dub Azumanga Daioh could receive.

I guess the Finnish dub in Digimon Adventure takes the cake, but it also has its own weird charm, lol.

Probably the 4kids version of One Piece back in the 2000s.

@pk8list Ok, that was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
