No, Nunavut

Err, anyway, why must we still have the bloody sub.v.dub war go on? As years upon years of experience show, it tends to get nowhere as, really, perception is subjective.
Think of sub and dub as two different modes of watching rather than two different qualities.

Of course the slayers dub Lisa ortiz is a billion times better than Megumi hayshiwhatnot at playing a red head. I fell in love with her just through watching the cartoon. As for poorest dub ever thats a tie between the original Urusei Yatsura dub and Love hina. Kitsune is not susposed to sound like Aunt jemimah

Err...thank you!
Like I've stated before:
Personally believe Dubbings are just the poor man's version.
Most Dubbings get two thumbs down from me...

I've never seen the Japanese dub of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.... not even sure if their is one... but the English dub is pretty shmick, lol...

As for Blood:The Last Vampire... that just had a wierd dub. Part-japanese, Part-english, and some of the Japanese voice-actors, for example the one that plays the nurse, REALLY need to work on their pronunciation and accents. =/

Its anime and thus the Japanese language is the original to me.

could be considered correct. How this thread got this off topic and focused on a single persons point of view is beyond me. I hope Rei is enjoying the attention.

*wakes up*
Arg, beats me too,

Ethereal.
Why must people analyze my goddamned posts?
Enjoying the attention? Wasn't here really...

Still want my cookie.

Probably the only one that stands out there for me is Hellsing. Just because British characters speaking english makes more sense than Japanese. I am withholding my judgement for Chrono Crusade yet for the same reasons.

Generally I prefer the original Japanese with subtitles over any dub. I mean yeah I know, the person voicing the character can be just about anyone, but I like to see the original creator's choice for who to breath life into the character.

A good example is Lynn Minmei from Macross/Robotech. In the original Japanese Minemei is not winy at all. She is actually a bit sultry with a more mature voice as opposed to the characterization done by Reba West for Robotech. My youth has a bit of nostalgia for Ms. West's performance, but how she did it completely changed the character and Minmei's context.

Anime dubbing suffered from being treated like american Saturday morning cartoon for a long while and you can tell if you compair some soundtracks. Its gotten a lot better in recent years though and it will be interesting to see the continuing trend.
