What animes have been dubbed poorly?

Another craptacular dub:

Mobile Fighter G Gundam -
So many things that bugged me about this one...Mark Gatha's Domon Kasshu sounding like the original seiyuu took a sharp kick to the crotch (the original 'Bakunetsu God Finger' sounded cool, the dub makes him sound like he's whining), Tohofuhai sounding like Hulk Hogan, the name changes (dear God, the name changes...Burning Gundam my ass!)...ah Hell there's too many other things that I've got grievances with that can wait for another time...

Here endeth the psychotic ranting

Triguns dub was not bad, I actually think one of the better ones out there. I dont know why everyone hates it so much. Legatos voice alone, which is one of the most dead on voices ever in a dub, is reason enough.

Also, neither is Evas. Eva fans just use the whole JAPANESE VERSION IS BETTER thing the same way DBZ fans do to get around actually having to stick up for liking something a lot of people dont. The characters are annoying in any language, theres no way around it.

Escaflownes dub was pretty bad though, its one of the few series I much watched subbed...infact I think its the only one.

The FLCL dub is pretty off in my opinion

No, I REALLY think this dub is God awful. It misses the characters entirely (as annoying as they are). They're not only annoying but...SUCK. For a show that relies on the characters, this is a complete miss and detracts at least 50% from the show itself (since the show revolves around the characters).

I am also fairly sure that Hideaki Anno worked pretty closely (closer than most) in the voice direction. This is his vision and I think the US voice director missed entirely...not that I blame him that much...how can he exactly match something he had nothing to do with...this goes back to the inherent problem in dubs...

Either way, this is not a "it's japanese it's better" opinion. I honest to God HATE the dub...can't stand it. I think many people feel that way.

I really don't like the Trigun dub. I hate Vash's voice. The original is better. I liked the Eva dub and the original Akira. But I really hate anything Funimation does. The voices suck, the music sucks and the sound effects suck. I liked it better when Pioneer worked with Funimation.

Hmmm I do see bad dubs too so I better defend myself

1-Angel Links (only Meifons boobs carried to completion)
2-Angel Sanctuary (Setsuna's Voice Ruined it all)
3-Sakura Daires (Yuck Yuck YUCK! I will just watch the directers cut in the red box set)
4-El Hazzard Alternate world (NEVER BRING CHAN,KUN,SAN OR ANY OF THOSE JAPANESE SENOIRITIES IN A ENGLISH DUBBED SHOW AGAIN!!!)
5- All the Hentais I own (You can never get tired of 'Oh will you please....SUCK!......................my cock )

Wow I cant think of to many others right now....my goods always out weighs the bads

I disagree, I mention this in the other thread. I liked the first version.

"Men, we're going to the Olympics!"

"It's Akiirrraaaaaa!" ("My Precioussssss")

Respectfully disagree with you.
