What's the best English dubbed anime you've seen?

I have not read the previous messages in this thread, so I apologize for repeating titles... and I know at least one on my list will be a repeat.

1) Cowboy Bebop - The only anime I have ever seen in 20+ years of anime watching where I prefer the dub to the sub.

2) Spirited Away - An excellent dub. John Lassiter has already shown his skill as a voice director with his own projects. I was so pleased that he has had his talents put to use in dubbing this excellent film.

3) NieA_7 - A very good dub. The actress who did NieA actually looked a lot like NieA when the dub was being recorded.

4) Ranma 1/2 - I tend to watch Ranma dubbed rather than subbed... and I know the people who were in charge of making that dub... and they cared about the show and that care is apparent in the efforts that went into the dub.

the best dubbed anime that i have seen would have to be trigun. well at least the dvd one the adult swim is weird but beside the point. Can you believe that adult swim will not show ranma 1/2 i mean come on they have shown the first couple of eposides of the eva series and in prime time at that and will not show ranma 1/2 on late night they have a serious problem

i belive they showed teh first 2 episodes of eva as part of their giant robot week. Really dumb move. Unless they planed on showing all of it they shouldn't have shown it at all.

Plus they took out the "toothpick" scene when they showed it.

I'm sorry but all the dub of eva did was make me desire to choke the bejesus out of Auska and shoot Shinji in his toothpick dick to give him something to really bitch about.

CB - yes a great dub!
Mononoke - great dub
Spirtedaway - Good dub. Its started off sketchy, but about a half hour into the movie the VA's seemd to get in to their charas.
FLCL - Good dub.
Hellsing - Great, actually my perfered version by a very close margin.
Goldenboy - Great! Doug is my hero, need I say more?
Gundam 08th MS - Good
Gundam 0083 - Good
Read or Die - Great!
Nadesico - Good
Armitage III: Dual Matrix - Good, but poly matrix's dub pissed me off.
And some others
