For me personally, Attack on Titan needs a re-dub, I find that the main trio's voices get extremely grating after a while. Especially Eren. Other than that, season 2 of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K definitely needs one and Kimetsu no Yaiba needs one without Bryce Papenbrook in it.
If you're reading this and you haven't watched Mob Psycho 100, go watch it and then continue with what you were doing.



Also, for the record, JoJo is great, it's fans are not.

Full Moon Wo Sagashite and Kodocha because the dubs are so freaking terrible that they ruin the shows...and they're also unfinished. The cast cannot act to save their lives and the voices DO NOT FIT.

Thirty-year-old men should not voice eleven-year-old boys. That's so creepy. xD

Also Mermaid Melody because the Japanese cast is terrible too-okay, it's mostly just the main character. lol

I dont listen to dub, but I think Banana Fish could have a really good one. I dont like dub as half the time it doesn't make sense... why are Japanese characters talking in English and why do they have American accents?? Yet in Banana Fish this would make perfect sense, the characters are white and are from America, it would be so fucking good. Also if they then went the extra mile and got Eiji and Ibe understandable Japanese accents. Fuck, maybe even Yut-Lung and Sing having understandable Chinese accents. Fr if they put in enough effort it could be really good.

I really would love it if Pandora Hearts had an English dub. Having a dub fits its setting more. If shows like Gosick, Toradora, Nichijou, Oregairu and even Aria are getting dubs even after a long time, then why not Pandora Hearts?

If there was a redub that I want (but I know it wouldn't happen) I would love to see a redub of pretty much most dubs made by Sentai between 2008-2013.

Recent anime like KnY and AOT will not really have a chance of getting a redub soon enough. I can see you totally hate Bryce's voice. Hate him all you want. Personally, I find him okay for most of his roles, but I do admit that he's not really the best dub VA around. As for his role as Inosuke, well the only evidence of Bryce's performance as him is in the trailer (and I do agree it is quite a bad first impression which made people hate it). The dubbed episodes where Inosuke appears hasn't even come out yet so I'll save my thoughts on Inosuke's dub voice later on.

If this is an option but since there's only a dub for beyblade metal saga and a few episodes of sub, I'd like them to sub the entire thing.

I'd love to see how a Bakemonogatari dub would turn out. the I'm sure the inevitable dumpster fire produced would be a sight to behold.

Also, I just want to say I like the Netflix Dub of Eva-minus the gaywashing

Cardcaptor Sakura needs a new dub, that's faithful to the original but not terrible sounding like the Animax dub. I would be fine with the Clear Card cast but Syaoran and especially Eriol should be recast with female voice actresses.

Levi, Erwin, Zeke, Pixis, Sasha, Hannes, Ymir, Hange, Armin, Shadis, and plenty of others were dubbed exceptionally well.
Annie, Reiner, Jean, Jean, and Jean stand out to me as miscast. Jean should have been voiced by somebody else as well.

It's amazing that Uta∽Kata was released in the United States without a dub. It's been many years since both the show's airing and the one Complete Collection release in the US, but I would be very interested in a reprint of the series with an English dub.
I am more of a sub-watcher than a dub-watcher, but I'd still want to give a potential dub for the show a shot.

In Cow and Chicken, Cow, Chicken, and "The Red Guy" are all voiced by the same male voice actor who was 40 when the series started.

Gunbuster/Diebuster- dub
Legend of Galactic Heroes- dub
Rose of Versailles- dub
Monogatari series- dub
Food Wars S3- dub (coming early 2020 but earlier would be nice)
Dororo- dub
Vinland Saga- dub
Shirobako- dub
A Place Further Than the Universe- dub
Higurashi When They Cry- redub
The Garden of Sinners- dub
Tatami Galaxy- dub
The Night is Short, Walk on Girl- dub
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai- dub
Ghost in the Shell (1995)- redub with the same cast, no idea why but I loved them in SAC but thought they sounded kinda flat on some of the lines in the movie even though some of the cast stayed the same.
Gabriel Dropout- dub
Revolutionary Girl Utena- redub

From what I've heard about their dubs/redubs, Dr. Stone could possibly need one day and Cardcaptor Sakura too. I've only seen Dr. Sone subbed tho and Sakura I still need to watch so who knows. Also apparently Funimation bought a crappy dub from another company for Kingdom, so that could probably use a redub. I've heard some stuff about other dubs too but I haven't seen them yet. Only other thing I can think of is K-On!, tried watching one of the OVAs dubbed and even tho it was the same cast of Madoka Magica (which I loved), they just weren't as good as the Japanese cast (not sure if a redub would help since it might just work better in Japanese sorta like Monogatari).

I'd say Elfen Lied needs a redub but I don't think that would've helped all that much tbh. In other news, definitely looking forward to the Golden Time dub coming out next month!

It's a really stupid cartoon that was never meant to be taken seriously though. That is not the case for Kodocha.

I want a decent Monster dub, comparable to Cowboy Bebop, Steins Gate, or the original FMA. The existing dub is mediocre and poorly acted, and I can't get into the Japanese dub because the characters speak and act too much like Japanese people (like Nina saying "tadaima" when she comes home), even though they're all Europeans.

With all due respect for adv films, ghost stories needs a proper dub, I know the anime was mediocre but let the people decide it. And danganronpa has a way too much parody dub, the actors are good but the script is on par with ghost stories.

Some of his other roles are quite serious. The point is that there are plenty of 30+ year old males that can convincingly sound like a young child.

On a more interesting note: Baby Groot is still voiced by Vin Diesel without any voice effects to raise the pitch.

I want Vinland Saga to have a dub ASAP, because that's the only condition that my aunt will agree to watch the anime with me. She generally doesn't like anime because of how weird and exaggerated it is, but is willing to give Vinland Saga a shot because in terms of art style it looks much more mature.

That's great but I'm assuming you didn't SEE Kodocha's sub and dub so this argument is meaningless for this thread.

The little boys in it are voiced by old dudes and they SOUND like old dudes so it's jarring af.

Eh, I don't know. It's not bad, but not "good" either. There's too much of that typical "English dub voice acting" where they have that weird and unnatural singsong tone, and they rush the lines a lot in order to match the lip flaps.

@RealTheAbsurdist That actually would be pretty interesting. A German dub with subs would make the show feel much more believable, and I might watch it over either of the existing dubs.

I don't need to; you made a general statement. Your statement was "Also, anyone who uses female hormones is automatically trans, no exceptions.", not "this particular voice acting was bad".

The little boys in it are voiced by old dudes and they SOUND like old dudes so it's jarring af.
Then restrict your criticism to this particular poor voice acting, instead of making a general statement — bad voice actors obviously exist.

Quite right, that was just something on my clipboard from a discussion on 4chan. What I meant to rather paste was: "Thirty-year-old men should not voice eleven-year-old boys. That's so creepy. xD" instead.

Then you should again say it about those individuals in specific, rather than making a general statement.

I would like them to dub Avatar the last Airbender into Japanese. Not that I speak Japanese or anything, I just think it would invoke more emotions if it is said by Japanese voice actors.

I also think that this step would make people consider it as an Anime, which could honestly top Berserk when it comes to nudity and violence.

It's a grand shame that Yuasa Masaaki's best works never received English dubs. Kaiba, The Tatami Galaxy, Mind Game, Kemonozume, and The Night is Short, Walk on Girl are prime candidates for western releases. It's curious that his works that seemingly have less of a western appeal ended up getting English dubs.

Vinland Saga is perhaps most deserving of an English dub, just feels a bit awkward to be voiced by Japanese.

Lots of older classic series like Rose of Versailles, Treasure Island, Armored Trooper Votoms, the list goes on.

A Turn A Gundam dub was announced at one point, but sadly never happened. Considering how amazing other Gundam dubs have been, this one hurts.

Honestly surprised that Gunbuster never got an English dub, seems like a suitable candidate.

Mushishi season 2 - kept waiting for years but they never made it. I liked Travis Willingham's voice for Ginko 😔

Shakugan no Shana - wish they'd kept the original VAs for the rest of the seasons, I cringed when I heard Greg Ayres replaced Brad Swaile and from Paul Dobson to Kent Williams (what a huge contrast in voices ugh)

love the people who click on threads like these just to say they hate dubs. ok attention whores!

Precure should get more dubs. Glitter Force changes aside, the actual actors chosen for the roles I liked, such as Laura Bailey as Cure Happy or Cherami Leigh as Regina. If another company oversaw it, I'd be totally up for it

Cardcaptor Sakura, I would love a redub of (although I can't see it happening). For something so iconic and a great gateaway anime, so many people starting in anime only watch dubs and I can't in good faith recommend the dub that does exist. I've only seen Clear Card's cast in clips, but reusing that cast would be fine

kinda related but i hope Bungou Stray Dogs Wan next season gets dubbed like the rest of the series did. I watched the whole series dubbed but part of me thinks it won't happen since it's a spinoff chibi show
