Almost none, Dubs sucks. They're inaccurate, inappropriate and the wordings aren't right. I hate dubs, even if there are some good dubs out there, I would still say most dubs suck. But there are very very few dubs that are actually quite good though. Vampire Hunter D's dub is okay, but I still wouldn't say it's the best

Read or Die is freaking GODLIKE</unrealtournament>. If Read or Dream comes out and the returning characters' VAs are clearly not the same, heads will roll.
Excel Saga is ALMOST a match for ROD. The VAs obviously poured their hearts and souls into that one, despite a few hiccups. Ah My Goddess could have been great. Keiichi and Urd kicked copious amounts of ass especially. But stupid Belldandy and Tamiya drag it down to merely okay. I really want to hear the (widely-acclaimed) Mahoromatic dub. Can anybody who's seen it tell me what they think? And what about Noir? From the ADV demo disc I got at Comic Con '03, it sounded pretty sweet. What's the verdict on that? |

On a related note: I was surprised to find out that the guy who voiced the hand in Vampire Hunter D is also the voice of Bender in Futurama. |

As said before, Cowboy Bebop is most likely the best dub you'll ever see. They have good EXTRAS for crying out loud.
If you've never seen it, Shinesman has a great dub as well. I like the Trigun dub as well, although it takes until about 10 or so episodes in before the actors really seemed settled into their roles. I love the Japanese audio a lot though. I mean, how can you not? It's got Onosaka Masaya! Quote:
The Golden Boy dub also deserves a nod, as it's the only anime that I would ALWAYS rather listen to in English than in Japanese. Go check it out and maybe you'll understand why... |

Ah Golden boy... brings back such fond memories I loved that show. Though it was only 6 short OVA's it was awesome how everything tied in together in the final OVA almost a work of art. Anyways the dub was really good. The best I've ever seen. The voices actually match up with the characters really well but I still perfer the subbed version with japanese dub. The female japanese voices just sounds so sexy and natural, I like lol

hmmm, good dubs. Yes, I agree that Princess Monoke and Spirited Away were well done. Also, Pokemon didn't seem too bad but I've never seen it in Japanese so I can't really say but it's not like Ash or Pikachu say that much important stuff anyways.

I actually thought that Nadesico had a great dub. I prefer it over the Japanese. Yurika and Ruri's VAs fit them a lot better in the dub to me.
Eva wasn't bad, but I really loved Asuka's dub voice. I think it suited her better than the Japanese VA did. And that's about it really... not all english dubs are bad, but those are really the only ones I've found that I like better than the japanese. |
