Best dub ever! :D

[Miyu-chan]

Well, when anime gets translated from one language to another, it tends to lose its original flavor.

So... what are the best official dubs of anime you've seen? *curious* =D

[Asura Nirosuki]

The only ones i've seen are from 4kids tv..and They shouldn't be titlted as great dubs.

But to choose from what they were airing i think Shaman king was. *Is shot*

[Neko64]

I'd have to say FullMetal Alchemist and (if they didn't cut out all the blood) Naruto.

[Ryoutarou]

Furuba/Fruit's Basket. It's the only anime that I actually like the dub better than the original version.

[tyrant_078]

Spirited Away, though the dubs for Ranma 1/2, Bakuretsu Hunters and Steel Angel Kurumi are also pretty good.

[Jeudi]

I can only really say El Hazard.

[Roxas]

Lyk Ghost In The Shell (The movie. I've only seen like 2 or 3 dubbed episodes of Stand Alone Complex, so I cant really judge), Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke.

[Kurosaki]

InuYasha, despite what everyone else says. The japanese VAs sound horrific to me. >>

[Himawarii]

InuYasha,Naruto, and Ranma 1/2.they have pretty much the better voice actors IMO.

[Chiru]

Yeah, Fruits Basket did have a really good dub. The translation was next to perfect most of the time, and the only voice that I really did not like was Ayame's. FMA has a pretty good dub as well. The DN Angel dub is good as far as the translation goes, but I'm not too fond of the voice actor choices there.

[moko]

probably full metal alchemist.

tokyo mew mew was horrible, didn't really like the voices in sailor moon (the japanese voices are awseome, though XD), and inuyasha didn't seem to have very good dialogue.

kagome: naraku took over kohaku's body and is using him against sango! that's so evil!
^ note: that's not really a line, just the jist of some of the stuff kagome says <.<

fullmetal alchemist is probably the first anime that a character didn't annoy me (well, i do find winry's voice a bit annoying....), and that all the characters seem pretty likeable. dialogue's pretty good, too.

[Mari]

From what I've seen; FMA, Furuba, (I especially <3 Aruu [Fuuma] and Hiro's [Furuba] VA. His voice ish super kawaii) and Naruto - though, just slightly.

Naruto's constant "Believe it!" ish getting annoying. > >; And the Japanese seiyuu were much much better for Naruto. Sakura's english voice ish getting a bit irritating, too; she was supposed to sound smart and stuff, but they made her a bit too girlish-like. And Kakashi's ish alright, but he speaks a bit too slow in the dub, his voice tends to linger where there ish a vowel.

Oh, Spirited Away, too. <3

The japanese VAs sound horrific to me. >>
Nuu, don't say that! 'cause, see, Sango's seiyuu was Presea's [y'know from TOS X3] and her Japanese voice was kawaii~ish! <3

[Naoshi]

Inuyasha and Naruto has the best dubs so far.

The first season of pokemon's dub is good but not great and not the best. (Sadly, the only good dub 4kids has ever done) I can't stand any of 4kids's dubs besides their old pokemon ones.

[Charaxes]

Off hand, I'd say the 80's Gatchaman dub "G-Force". They kept the original content: (more or less), the death overtones, Jun's panty shots, and didn't dumb you down. Granted there was the Harlequin type names but you'd forget that when you saw the maturity of the dub.

Second place, Pokemon. Because they did a respectable job for the most part, just removing the Japanese ness of the early seasons and the odd edicts of the later seasons (the panned in look and the badge case).

Third place: Yu-Gi-Oh, I love the English cast and they are...kinda respectful but then Yu-Gi-Oh ramps up the content so 4Kids has to counter that in their own weird way. If they could keep the English cast and leave the content alone, it would be heaven.

Same for DIC's Sailor Moon, I love the voice cast (particularly end of R), didn't like everything else. Heh.

[Charon]

Tenchi Muyo. Definetly. Their voices are really full of character, and the actors suit the people they're playing.
I think the worst dub ever is Mononoke Hime, because the actors do not suit the characters at all. San (the girl brought up by wolves, in case you've never seen it) sounds too... well-spoken. Ashitaka sounds too meek. The person that played the mother wolf did a good job, though.

As for FMA and InuYasha, the japanese sounds far more natural. I saw the japanese first (downloaded it when it came out in japan) and I prefer the main character's voices... Ed sounds too young, and Inu sounds too tame xP
Oh, and in one of the first american FMA eps, there's this women that says: 'you made us think you were gooood' in a really annoying way. That ruined it ¬¬;

I've never seen Furuba in English, but I loved the japanese voices; especially momeji! Kawaii!

[Syaoran-Kun]

The best dubs so far have got to be Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Cased Closed, Yu Hakashu, and Naruto.

[Stevo-kun]

I would say Beyblade G-Revolution was the best dub I have seen, even though I haven't seen the Japanese version, the dub is great.

[Lucid-Acid]

They did a pretty good job on Witch Hunter, the dub voices fit the characters more to me, the japanese ones just sound like they randomly picked the VA's, and... bleh. They kept a lot of the plot the same too, and that's always nice.

[cold_katanagirl]

Nuu, don't say that! 'cause, see, Sango's seiyuu was Presea's [y'know from TOS X3] and her Japanese voice was kawaii~ish! <3I thought I heard Sango's Japanese voice somewhere... XD

Anyway, I really like the Yu Yu Hakusho dub (uncut more though). I like all their English voices waaay more. And other things. =0

I know nothing about the Japanese FMA... But the dub is good anyway. XD

Inuyasha's voices kind of vary for me. I like the girls voices in Japanese alot better. Kagome's English voice suits her, but that's why it sucks, it's really nervewracking. Sango sounds kind of dry sometimes, and I can't stand the way Kaede talks (I never heard her Jap. voice though... And don't take the Jap. offensively, just shortening).

I do like Inuyasha's voice in the original more though, but Sesshoumaru's... blech. I like both of Kikyou's voices. Miroku... neutral.

The original Inuyasha has better dialogue, sometimes in English it sounds weird. o__O

[Utada]

Fruits Basket, Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, Fullmetal Alchemist.

I think the dub are pretty good in these. =3 Fruits Basket hands down though, it is my number one list of best dub. ^^

[Pete]

Haven't seen many animes.

I quite like Shaman King's dub. Don't know why.
Oh yeah, and Zoids' has a REALLY GOOD dub for Chaotic Century/Guardian Force.

[Peach]

Pokemon 2000 - Finnish dubbing is so great <3
Sailor Moon - Swedish dubbing <3

[Lightning]

I liked the Trigun dub. Granted, I only saw the first episode of the anime in Japanese before switching over to English voice track on the DVD, but I much prefered hearing it in English thereafter. ^_^;

[Digiko]

I don't really think any dubs are bad, simply because I don't care. I think they're all entertaining. XD I really wish I could've seen Shaman King. D: I liked the Pokemon dub also.. I don't know why everyone hates it.

[Rai]

Hmmm.....my favorite dubs would probably be:

-Inuyasha
-Full mteal Alchemist
-Ranma 1/2

[Miyu-chan]

I liked Naruto's dub... xD; Naruto's voice choice was good, IMO.

[Caroline]

The best dubs I think I have watched would have to be:
Fullmetal Alchemist
Gundam Seed

[IvySaur]

I haven't seen a lot of anime, I mostly read manga. I think the best dubs I've seen would have to be Hellsing and Azu Manga Daioh. Hellsing really doesn't have a lot cut out and I adore Seras's voice. I also think AMD retained most of it's original content, the only thing I don't like about it is Osaka's voice, the Texan accent is so random, but hey, the whole show is, so...I think I just lost my point somewhere back there.

[Rikki Tikki Tavi]

FMA has a decent dub... but thats about as far as I would put it.

[Ryoutarou]

That part of the country is known for it's southern Texas like accent in it's people...not random.

[IvySaur]

Osaka is from...Osaka, Japan. That part of the country is known for it's southern Texas like accent in it's people...not random.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that, thanks for telling me.

[Keitaro]

I'm not calling it the best English dub or anything like that but I thought the guy who did Tenchi's did a great job and the gal who did Sasami's voice did an even better job, but yea which anime doesn't have their flaw in voice acting, English or Japanese, sure the main characters might be dead on but there are always those darn extra's who ruin the perfect streak, lol

[Drew]

The best dubs so far have got to be Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Cased Closed, Yu Hakashu, and Naruto.

Case Closed I didn't really like, it was no where close to original Detective Conan... all the names were slaughtered, and the voices were messed... x___x but anyway...
I did really like the FMA dub, and the Furuba dub, the Naruto dub is 'okay', but I don't know if I really have a favorite dub. Though I do really like 4 Kids, not for the fact that they change everything, but they have some really good voice actors, same goes for Funimation.

[Hizuara]

Even though I'm not a big fan of the series, I think Cowboy Bebop has a great dub. I also like FMA, even though I wish Ed's voice was a BIT better.

Most of the other animes I like have pretty bad dubs compared to the originals =P

[Kenta]

Yu Yu Hakusho by far is the best dub(uncut) IMO. Even though I prefer Japanese voices
Funimation came up with many creative lines XD

Inuyasha is up there too. The voices were picked well

[nicoleb]

The Slayers Uncut was very good. Rurouni Kenshin was okay. Elfen Lied dub was good. Puni Puni Poemi was better than the Japanese version (in my opinion). So Puni Puni Poemi is my vote. The Japanese voice actors for all of the above were better, though.

[marillmonster2000]

Cowboy Bebop And Fullmetal Alchemist. Detective Conan Was Messed Up By Funi, But For Some Reason I Still Love That Dub Anyway...

[Midori Chi]

Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha, and Chobits.
FMA is just awsome, no doubt about it, Inuyasha has better voices than the Japanese version, same with FMA. Also same with Chobits.

[Hantsuki]

Card Captor Sakura was a good dub when they had it out, too bad they took it off. T.T

InuYasha ish a really good dub IMO. They don't take out the bloody parts and I like the dub voices.

Naruto would be an excellent dub if they didn't take out the bloody parts and such. I really like their dub voices though.

Yuugiou, not the best dub since they did take a bunch of stuff out, but they can actually take out much more so it's okay. I like most of the dub voices though, like Bakura's <3

[Ari-chan]

Cowboy Bebop (I'm not that big a fan of the series...but it was a good dub)
Super Gals
Genshiken
Rurouni Kenshin TV (Far to many mispronounciations and errors in the Movie and OAVs:( )
Angelic Layer
Full Metal Alchemist
Naruto

[Sorairo]

1. Fruits Basket
2. Full Metal Alchemist
3. Inuyasha
4. uh...I wanna say Teen Titans, but there wasnt a dub voice there cause its American Anime...

[Shenlong]

FUNimation in my opinion are probably the best company that dubs anime and leaves everything uncut.

[Thomas-san]

Fullmetal Alchemist with no doubt. It looks like it was orignally in English.

[Kurosaki~Dragon]

FMA is a great dub I like it alot I think they did a great job dubbing it
Yu Yu Hakusho is also one of the best dubs I have ever seen it just plainly owns
I also really enjoyed the dub for Cowboy Bebop X3

I don't really like dubs from 4kids, they make them so...different...from the originals... ._.

[Keizah]

I'd have to say Duel masters....they make them say some pretty random stuff...XD

[Spectrum]

Cowboy Bebop. It's the only dub I can actually stand.

Although I really love Pink's dub voice in SEED. While I'm not sure if the creators intended to make its random cries humourous or not, I found the dub's cries a lot funnier (and in some cases, cuter) than the original.

[Kurosaki]

Chrono Crusade has a good dub as well. Well, it's excellent compared to most out there, XD

[SBaby]

Samurai Pizza Cats. Hands down. Best dub of an Anime ever.

This is one of the few Animes where the majority of the fans believe the dub isn't detrimental to the show's overall value. In fact, this is maybe the only case where there are actually people that feel the dub improves upon the original plot.

This is quite amusing, especially considering the fact that a majority of the dub is ad-libbed dialogue, as admitted by Saban Staff.

[Arlynn]

They're all bad. i hate them all. The voices are utterly terrible. Have you ever heard Excel in the Excel Saga dubb? I wanted to shoot myself in the head to keep the sound away.
Uggh.
But that's just my opinion.

[Zangooser]

Ehh........I don't believe in a good dubb.......
The best dubb i've seen was DBZ.........(and problaby Cased Closed)

[Drew]

Case Closed? ... The Detective Conan was horrible, in the way of changes anyway... But voice talent wise, Yes, it was a good dub.
I like the Pokemon dub alot, it might be different, but thats part of the reason it amuses me. Though I do like the Japanese version alot as well.
I also liked the Fruits Basket dub. It was pretty good.
