We all have them, EVEN ME! There are only a small handful that I don't like, Sonic X to say the least it's 4Kids afterall, another being The Girl Who Leapt Through time. Not so much bad acting in that, because the cast is really good, it's more of a poor quality sound mixing in comparison to the Japanese and some of the dialog is stale and corny. Even for Bandai I have to say it was not their best.

Last I really don't like Tsubasa Chronicle's dub, really some of the cast members don't fit well into the roles they play (some like Vic as Fai or Sabat as Kurogane are dead knock outs!) it's very hit and miss. Plus I don't like the fact FUNimation edited out the songs in Japanese. I'm fine with dubbing, and I'm even fine with dubbing songs, but don't take them out!

So what about you?

Aside from the ones you have just mentioned, i think Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni had a HORRIBLE dub... it's sad. I actually STOPPED watching the dubbed version and went hunting for the subbed version online xD They were that bad to me ._. and umm.. oh 4Kids One Piece -_- well... what can i say about 4kids? :] lol

Not counting to 4Kids English Dubs. I will have to say Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni & Karin. Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni all sound older then they suppose to to me. For Karin, most of the characters felt really off.

I found the EXACT opposite to be true. I watched the first season dubbed, started season 2. Still haven't continued. Those are prob the worst subs I've seen.
The worst dubs that I've watched an entire series of is EASILY Elfen Lied. I watched Soul Eater subbed, which was beyond amazing, so just to see, I watched a bit of the dubs. BLECK! It literally left a bad taste in my mouth! Shinigami-sama and Black Star especially. Death the Kid was realitively fine, and I can't complain about Soul, but Maka and most of the others are just unbareable. Don't get me wrong, a lot of those VAs are fine, they were just TERRIBLE casting decisions. Troy Baker, Vic Mignogna, and Kyle Herbert never disappoint, but they can't save those dubs. Also, Robert MCollum as Mifune could work out well.

Probably Elfen Lied, I had to start over subbed after the first episode.

I prefer watching anime in dub, but One Piece (4kids) disappointed me. .__. I mean, why even bother? Pokemon's fine, but One Piece?
Lucky Star had some pretty bad dub voices as well.

Rave Master. I love Fairy Tail so I was really wanting to get into Rave but the dub is just awful. I don't know if it's dubbed by 4kids but it sure as hell feels like it.
