True dat. But I haven't really watched that many 4Kids dubs. And you know what? I'm glad. :wassat:
-
My favorite dubbed shows would have to be Dragon Ball (Not Z) and Tenchi Muyo. I usually like dubbed shows to at least preserve the original music and writing that the Original shows had which DBZ/GT and Yugioh seem to fail in that category… >_>
-
Favorite Dubs: Pretty much everything not touched by 4kids.
Least favorite: 4kids touched shows. Rave Master. Bobobo. MAR
(Rave Master was okay, but I don't think I can listen to it long, and Bobobo's anime in general was horrible… No references, no blood even in the japanese version it makes a sad Gravy... MAR had bad voice acting...) -
Anything dubbed by Bang!Zoom Entertainment is going to be on my least favourites list. Not only does everything they touch suck, they used the same cast (for more or less the same role) in EVERY dub they produce.
Most favourite would be anyone form New York - TAJ/CPM/MB/KDE, followed by Canadian works like Ocean Group and Texas third.
California comes in dead last.
Get out of my state you worthless two-bit hacks!

I don't really hate the anime version but it's not as funny as the manga, plus they took out Yugi's cameo in Bobobo's Afro! TT_TT

I could list a lot of bad dubbed anime. maybe I'll say FMA is my least favorite, though, cause that is my favorite anime, so it makes me cry the most….i guess. I was told the english dub was good, but I was not impressed at all. it sounds just as bad as any other bad dub.
another that pops into my head is Slayers. I HATE lisa ortiz(sp) voice. I don't understand my friend's love obsession with her.
and for favorite, I'd say Trigun and Cowboy bebop. I'd RATHER listen to those in english. :)

I Must Confess, One Piece (Fun Piece) is my favourite.
They always try their best to make as little changes as possible, and really convey the Dub to an English audience well, I mean there are some Dubs that when you see them you can either tell thet they're a WIN or a FAIL. instantly, this was easily a WIN.
In fact, the Openings & Endings could sway me alone. I remember the first time when the Dub of A to Z was released.
I listened to the JP version and the Dub Version and it really MADE dubbing for me, aside from the lyrics, it seemed like literally nothing else had changed, it's a very clean Dub.
Also Naruto and DBZ (Of Course) I mean while some of you might not like these shows, you can't deny that their Dubs have been very good (For Dragon Ball Z's case you might want to refer to Funi's latest Redub uncut thingies over the T.V. Airings)
-
I liked:
Guyver
-both the old OVA series and the newer 26 ep series. The older one in particular was superb. I loved it back when I was a kid, and still do now.
Tenchi (Pioneer dub)
Martian Successor Nadesico
Cowboy Bebop
Street Fighter II : the animated movie
"I'll fight you at your own level"
Castle of Cagliostro (Manga dub)
Dragon Ball(madman -I'm guessing it's the funi dub)
-the DB (not dbz) dub is notable in that I prefer it to the japanese. Especially Krillen's voice.
Outlaw Star
One Piece
Jing
SlayersMy dislike list is too large to bother writing. There's stuff like Detective Conan that I listened to for 30 seconds before switching over to japanese audio.

Oh, I can damn well deny the supposed "greatness" of that hackjob; The script is so loosely translated that at times, it's like watching a different story, (also, it contradicts itself with stuff like "Dr. Gero was the leader of the Red Ribbon Army", "Tao Pai Pai was a general in it", "Planet Vegeta blew up three years ago") and some of the voices (like Freeza, for example) are just downright horrible. Also, while they did at least IMPROVE the dub somewhat by using getting rid of their custom soundtrack and reinserting the original music, they're still missing the insert-songs plus a couple of completely random tracks every now and then. (And in Dragonball, there was this insert-song called Mezase Tenkaichi that played a few times during the tournament-arcs. FUNi didn't include it the first time it appeared, then used it during its second appearance only to cut it out again the third time! WHAT. THE. HELL.)
…Does it show that the Dragonball-franchise is my least favorite dub, by the way?
As for my favorite... I think I'll say Code Geass. Sure, it's not perfect, (some times, the translation feels slightly awkward) but it's still the only series where I actually followed the dub, and the dub only, through almost the entire show, and when I eventually switched to the Japanese version, (due to adult swim's constant breaks... I got tired of waiting when they went on a 2-month break in the middle of the second season) I didn't really notice any particular difference in the quality of the acting.

I don't get how the DBZ dub has any fans at all I love DBZ but the dub no thank you :getlost:
-
I liked the Eva, Mushi-Shi, and Cowboy Bebop dubs more than the Japanese. If I don't like an audio track more than the original, I don't listen to it.
Wolf's Rain is pretty good, and I love the Miyazaki dubs too.

Favorite dubs:
4kids One Piece (for lulz)
Any Viz dubbed showsLeast favorite Dubs:
4kids dubs
and anything done by Funimation since I can't EVER watch their dubs, and expect to get the same information as the Japanese version. It pisses me off, A LOT.
Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragonball, FMA and One Piece all have that crap where they change lines to something not even close to what was originally said.One Piece has the least, but that doesn't excuse Funi from doing it at all.
There should never be a time (unless it's a Japanese joke or something) that I should hear something entirely different than what I read on subtitles.
Zoro (eng): "Get away from Luffy!"
Zoro (jap): "Stop right there Half-Fish man!"
Arlong (eng): I thought I told you to never call me that! Prepare to die!If you read the english only lines that makes no sense! >_>
Sanji (eng): Get up Here! I want to fight where I can breathe!
Sanji (jap): But first! I need to kick your small time ass!
I still like the funi dubs for the most part, but they're definitely my least favorite.
-
Hm…favorites...I gotta say Buso Renkin( I'm a sucker for Steve Staley, Moonface was gold, and Liam O'Brien was hilarious), Yuyu Hakusho ( The writing was genius) , B'T X ( For the same reason as YuYu), One Piece, Giant Robo, Hunter X Hunter, Get Backers, Ultimate Muscle, and Mazinkaiser.
Least favorites go to Law of Ueki (Show some excitement to, dammit!) Tetsujin 28 (Shotaro just sounds awkward when he speaks), Zeta Gundam.
-
I like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Dragonball and DBZ, Lupin the third and, most importantly, the 4kids dub of One Piece. After watching all of One Piece subbed how can you not watch the 4kids version and laugh your ass off. It's so goddamn terrible. Shanks is australian, Sanji sound like he's from brooklyn and has down syndrome and Zoro's voice is just phenominally mismatched. He sound like he should be a knight or something. Also the fact that they had to edit every last thing that made one piece one piece out of the dub, that's just silly. So fucking silly

Zoro's original line sounds stupid.
Not the point, It was inconsistent on BOTH accounts.
One, if you're listening to the english version, it's like WHAT IS ARLONG TALKING ABOUT?
two, why even have that line from Arlong in there if you take out the insult?
They could change the insult to whatever anyway, either way, an insult should be thrown there. And I'm pretty sure what Zoro is saying is the same as a "racial slur" to fishmen. Seeing as they all hate Zoro saying it.
But even if Zoro's original line is stupid, you still watched this episode with that stupid line in it originally. :P

If that was in the KF version I don't recall it being there I mean it's been like 5 years since I watched the Arlong arc.
