For the anime, History's strongest disciple Kenichi, is the dub any good? I'm on episode 9 and have been watching subbed so far, but I saw a few clips of the dub and the voices sounded decent. I would highly prefer to watch the show in my native language of course, but I don't know how much is really lost in the translation. Anyone have a recommendation?

The Dub completely ruins Miu's breast euphemisms.

I don't recommend.

It does? Well that settles it.

Sub it is, OP watch the sub. Her boobs are an important part of the anime. Besides there's already OVAs out and a second series may come someday. You would either have to wait(if it ever happens) for the OVAs and second series to be dubbed or switch to sub anyways.

I didn't finish watching the anime yet and I don't want to get spoiled so could you share some information with me? Anime finished a long time ago and there is plenty of material to animate so what's the problem? Did they sell bad or is it something else?

I don't think we know the exact reason, you're right there is a lot of material. And we don't know what they're doing with these OVAs that skip stuff.
Though Miu and her grandfather's VA both did die, that may have a little something to do with it. Someone who knows it's ratings and sales may be able to help more.

I might sound insensitive but damn,talk about bad luck. If they didn't die, there is a possibility that I would be watching more of Miu boob jokes right now.

Yeah it's the first I've ever heard of two VAs dying near eachother, the anime wasn't made that long ago. Though they were able to change them in the OVAs.
Maybe the anime hasn't continued for a different reason. Anyways the longer it takes, the more material we can watch when it does possibly eventually come out.

Kenichi's voice is better in dub than sub . If you are watching it for girls , boobs then go for sub but if you are watching it for comedy , action and pretty much everything , then go for dub.

both are good in their own way...if you want more colorful dialogue that's where the dub is amazing....the sub is good because shiratori (kisara's blonde assistant is respectively voiced by a female) and some of the original Japanese voices are cool (the voice actor for the early Tekken/Tekken 2 Kazuya Mishima voices Berserker and the actress Kotomi Ichinose from CLANNAD voices Shigure) despite the vanilla subtitle translations. by the way Carrie Savage is still alive ... the original Japanese voice actress for miu Furinji is the one who's dead..
