| Noticed a lot of people mentioned the Clannad dub here. Not that it's horrible, as Luci Christian was amazing in it, but I didn't really care for it. ANYWAYS! IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: - Code Geass - Cowboy Bebop - Baccano - Gurren Lagann - Shakugan no Shana (both casts were great) - Full Metal Panic - Steins;Gate - Kanon 2006 - Fate Zero - Death Note |

| No particular order and including reasons: Haruhi Franchise-Crispin 'fucking' Freeman as Kyon Stiens;Gate- Trina Nishimura mad me fall for Makise Kirisu FMA- First anime I ever watched (knowing that it was an anime) Cowboy Bebop- Steve Blum as Spike was godly Baccano- Made me feel as if I was in a Tarentino flick Samurai Champloo- Steve Blum (again) End of Eva- as annoying as Spike Spencer was it was his imaging of the movie that made it special for me HOTD-Felt as if all the actors were having a blast with it |
| Sup People and yes I am the physical manifestation of Shinji Ikari's Balls And this what elite-sama says to incest elite-sama said: I'm against it because I don't have a sister. It's not fair. |

| Eureka Seven- Johnny Yong Bosch fits Renton and proves he actually has range. Wolf's Rain- Kari Wahlgren's Cher Degre FTW Cowboy Bebop- Of course Big O- Steve Blum's Roger Smith mirrors Kevin Conroy's Batman. Casshern Sins- Eric Vale makes an awesome Casshern. Ergo Proxy- To think the woman who voices Re-L Mayer is the voice of Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy in Pokémon. Not only are these shows excellent in English but they all take place in non-Japanese settings. Subbies and weeaboos can go fuck themselves. |

| I'm curious. Are most people posting here posing their favorite English dubs based on the performances and dialogue, or are they posting their favorite animes which just so happen to have dubs? There have been a few examples listed I kind of have a hard time imagining are top 10 worthy based on performance alone. |

I also really like Highschool DxD's dub despite the series being, well, bad. |

| The question came up at the mention of Rurouni Kenshin. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a bad show, but in terms of dub quality... it seems kind of obviously subpar. |
| I find myself liking dubs that improve the overall experience of the show, so I can forgive some slightly off acting performances if the script enhances the series. In no real order: * Eden's Bowy (ADV/Monster Island) - While many of MI's dubs are hit-and-miss, this one is funny when it wants to be, serious when it needs to be, and manages to be impressive throughout. * Solty Rei (Funimation) - To this day, I'm convinced that Gonzo based Solty's character on Carrie Savage's real-life personality. * Magikano (ADV) - I know Chris Ayres is persona non grata among dub fans on MAL, but there were times when he had a good scriptwriter and a sufficient budget to produce hilarious results. * Ghost Stories (ADV) - The dub that taught me that "different from the Japanese" did not have to mean "worse," and set me on the road toward liking more dubs in general. It also warmed me to the charms of "Fosterization." * Girls Bravo (New Generation Pictures) - Like Magikano, an ecchi/comedy dub that greatly enhances the series through strategic rewrites. * Kamichu! (New Generation Pictures) - A dub that straddles the line between faithfulness and natural English so well that it's almost hard to tell when you switch languages. * Wolf's Rain (Animaze) - Perhaps the zenith of the skills and actors honed in earlier standout dubs like Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and GitS:SAC. It helps that there aren't any cute-girl voices or tricky Japanese names to stumble over, too. * FMA 2003 (Funimation) - Hits all the right notes in a complex and sprawling series. * Scrapped Princess (Bang Zoom!) - Crispin Freeman acts and directs this dub that brings my favorite swords-and-sorcery anime to life. * Shrine of the Morning Mist (NYAV Post) - Felt like choosing one from this region, and this dub wins the "much better than expected" award. The show itself is rather mediocre, but the dub is smartly written and keeps things as lively as possible. Honorable Mentions by studio: |
| 1. Shin Chan 2. Panty and Stocking 3. Cowboy Bebop 4. Samurai Champloo 5. Trigun 6. Black Lagoon 7. Full Metal Panic 8.Paranoia Agent 9. Ghost in the Shell 10. Gantz Some of the worst: -DBZ Big Green Dub -DBZ Malaysian Dub -Maze -Slayers -Black Butler -The Dark Myth -Sailor Moon -Steins;Gate |

JTurner said: I actually liked the SLAYERS dubs. They aren't perfect by any means, but I do have a soft spot for them. The first 13 episodes are a bit rough, but I felt it got A LOT better as it went along. Agreed. Lisa Ortiz makes an excellent Lina Inverse. |

| Slayers was pretty average for the time. Certainly not one of the all-time worst, at least on par with Dragon Ball. |
XTApocalypse said: Slayers was pretty average for the time. Certainly not one of the all-time worst, at least on par with Dragon Ball. I agree. It's very much your typical 90's dub. Slayers Try, however,....was pretty bad. Meowth should never have any roles outside of being Meowth. |

Was he really any worse than any of the other Pokemon voices? We had Brock as Gourry and Ash as freaking Amelia who looked and sounded like a genderswapped version of Ash. After that, I just rolled with Meowth. |

| You mean Veronica wasn't Amelia from the start? I could have sworn the very first time I heard her I recognized her as Ash. Unless maybe I'm getting my actresses confused, the first Amelia actress was Ash's, and she was later replaced by Taylor. As for Xellos, I honestly grew pretty attached to his first voice. His was the only one I was disappointed changed in the re-vamp come Slayers Revolution. Not that the new Xellos is bad, I just don't enjoy him quite as much as the first. Same goes for the Kenpachi voice-swap in Bleach. |
JTurner said: XTApocalypse said: You mean Veronica wasn't Amelia from the start? I could have sworn the very first time I heard her I recognized her as Ash. No, she was voiced by Joani Baker in those first episodes. I found her Amelia VERY shrill and hard on the ears. Veronica was much nicer. When Veronica began to voice Amelia, the dub started to show some improvements, and it was solid, as New York dubs go. |

XTApocalypse said: Someone likes mechs. Of course I do. My three favorite types of mechs are transforming ones, combining ones, and motion capture ones.(Like G Gundam.) You got any favorites yourself? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| "Motion capture?" As far as types of mechs go, I'm not that big a fan of the genre. I liked Code Geass, with its small, super-agile, humanoid mechs, and I liked Big O, with its slow but titanic powerhouse mechs, so I can't really say I have an attachment to anything by type. |
XTApocalypse said: Mecha where the pilot moves around and the mecha imitates their movements, rather than the pilot operating levers/joysticks/pedals to to control the machine."Motion capture?" http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MotionCaptureMecha |

For me, it's the performances and dialogue. Basically, if an anime has funny dialogue and great voice acting, that makes it awesome to me. But if an anime has my favorite voice actors as well, that makes it super awesome. ^_^ |
