Your Favorite Dub...

I'm sick of everyone complaining about the English version of all anime (although I do my fair share). Yes, they suck, but it can't be helped. So I'm asking if there is a dub you actually like or a dub that is actually good. All I hear is this dub sucks and that dub sucks. They can't all suck, there has to be a good one out there, otherwise you guys (me included) wouldn't keep watching them!

My favorite dub is Inuyasha. No I haven't seen the original version, but the English version is, in my opinion, a very good example of voice acting. The VA's actually give life to their characters and use real emotion. I've always loved it because since it was on Adult Swim they could get away with a lot more than if it was on primetime tv.

Remember there is no dissing any dubbed version of any anime in this thread. Here we praise the good work that the evil, corrupting dub companies have done.

Off the top of my head? Fooly Cooly and all Ghibli films. All perfect dubs.

I rather enjoyed the cowboy bebop Dub.

FLCL dub was just awsome.

I'd definitely have to agree. I usually avoid dubs like the plague (don't care if other's watch them, more power to you all, it's just a personal preference) but Miyazaki films have great dubbing. I actually think that the Mononoke dub was far, faaaar above the original in voice acting quality, the original actors sounded so dead. Otherwise they all seem eqaully good in my opinion.

I'm a dubbie, mainly because I like to watch anime without having to freakin' stare at words throughout the show. Of course, I'll watch subs too if the dub sucks ('specially for CardCaptor Sakura. *stabs Nelvana*). Anyway, I'm the pro on dubs, muahaha!!

Good Dubs (That yins didn't mention):
Full Metal Alchemist
Full Metal Panic
The Vision of Escaflowne
Rurouni Kenshin
Princess Tutu
Petite Princess Yucie (Especially the voice actress for Yucie- she's REALLY good)
Peacemaker Kurogane
.hack//SIGN
Azumanga Daioh
Saiyuki (better than the sub. >>)
And others that I'm forgetting right now...

Pretty much anything dubbed by ADV or Bandai is a very good dub. And Kirby Morrow, Paul Dobson, Luci Christian, Chris Patterson, David Mas-something, and a few others are also VERY good voice actors. Especially Luci Christian. ^.^

FLCL and Cowboy Bebop.

Actually i prefer wathing FLCL with a dub than with a sub. The subs can get really too distracting in scenes that have both lots of dialogue and lots of stuff happening on the screen at the same time(like the manga scenes especially)

Personal favorites:

-Castle of Cagliostro (best Lupin dub ever)
-Laputa: Castle in the Sky (wasn't too crazy about this one at first, but it's grown on me rather nicely...and what's not to love in Mark Hamill doing a dub?)
-Hellsing
-Read or Die (OVA)
-Now and Then, Here and There
-Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket
-FLCL
and
-Beserk (if only for the outtakes)
