Argento Soma, Excel Saga, NOIR, .hack//SIGN, Dai-guard, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, BERSERK (It sounds cheesy in English, but it's actually pretty faithful to the emotions and vocal range.

) A.D. Police - To Protect and Serve, Bubble Gum Crisis Tokyo 2040, and Silent Mobius. I've watched these dubbed and was able to sit through them.

Don't watch Z.O.E. Dolores i, dubbed. James sounds like a 60 year-old not a forty-year old and not as hot-blooded as the Japanese counterpart. Also, don't watch any masami obari directed anime dubbed. (Fatal Fury movies, Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer, Battle Arena Toshinden, Virus Buster Serge, etc.) Some of my least favorite dubs are by Manga for some odd reason. The most horrible dub I've had to sit through was Samurai Showdown, the VHS release, not the new ADV DVD release. I've no clue if ADV's version is better, but I'm not going to get it because it wasn't a great movie.

Partly it was because the story wasn't all that great, and partly because it was rife with things like "But moooooom, it was THIS BIG!! It must have been the King of all Hornets!" (Not exact since it's been awhile since I watched that God-awful dub) and "My name. Is Yagyu. Jubei" "So that must mean..." "...Yes." @.@

I agree on the Macross Plus dub, and I think it's better than the original w/ subs.

*SPOILER*

Before Gould dies in the dub, he sounds like he's agonizing... But in the original, he sounds a LOT like something from... from Ren and Stimpy!

*END SPOILER*

I think the most horrible dub I've heard is Oh My Goddess!

Goldenboy
Yu Yu Hakusho
Chobits
Slayers

And I actually like the Kenshin TV series dub. The OVA dub wasn't that great IMO.

I like my anime dubbed.. I'll watch it subbed if I have to, but dubbed all the way for me.

I'm a proud supporter of American dubbers!

Ruin Explorers has a cute dub. lol

I watched the Chobits dub the other day. I dunno why, as I never watch dubs... but I thought it was REALLY well done.

What other anime lets you hear Crispin Freeman say "Porno site" every 5 minutes?

Okay, first of all, thanks for not hassling me for misspelling "cowboy Bebop". You know how it is when you're typing!

Anyway, Klin, from the episodes of .hack//SIGN I've seen, I don't think it was dubbed well because the dubbing doesn't match their mouths.

Cowboy Bebop
Excel Saga
Chobits
Fruits Basket
Yu Yu Hakusho
