There are only three anime that I've seen that I have either truly enjoyed the dubbed versions or thought the english was better than the japanese version.
Fullmetal Alchemist is one of those three. Another is G-Gundam, but I can't remember the last one. I KNOW there's one more, but its name escapes me. Damn, I have seen way too many anime to keep them all straight in my disorganized head. Maybe DBZ? I dunno. Probably.
Though I hate to say it, depite the fact that for the most part I think the voice acting in the japanese version is superb, I really don't like Edward's seiyuu. I don't know why... there's just something about Edward being voiced by a woman that bugs me and distracts me away from whatever it is he's saying. I like Vic Mignogna way better than Romi Paku, personally. Given that Ed and Al are the main characters that we see (and hear) ALL THE TIME, that really was a clincher for me.
