Poll: Best american dubbed anime

[JimmerDunda]

From my experience of anime aired in the USA there have been quite a few that I like. I will name the ones I watched and found to be the best or most interesting. Since there are some I might not have seen I will leave an other option. People from other countries are more than welcome to post opinions. Most of these have been shown at one point on adult swim. I apologize if I forgot some.

In case you haven't noticed I tried to aim for decent shows with a meaningful story and insight, not some over dressed spikey haired kids running around with superpowers.

still looking I'll get back to ya on that

 

[NeoAC]

Can I say None?

Seriously I did vote for Cowboy Bebop above, can't argue with that show.

 

[Carlston]

Two best? Trigun and Slayers. Mostly because the directors could speak and understand Enlish not engrish.

Not to mention also looked for alot of talent that sounded like the original voice actors.

(And yeah I know Slayer did the engrish titles phrases but that's forgivable for a otherwise great series over time.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Puni Puni Poemy is also not bad

 

[Mstrswrd]

Other. It's Trigun, the only anime that is not only a good dub, but actually better than the Japanese voices. Give most people I know the choice, and thery watch anime in Japanese (myself included)... but not Trigun. That ones always in English.

Ah yes sorry I forgot about Trigun. That show was pretty good and ya the voice acting was excellent. That was a little ways back so it slipped out of thought.

America has a rather impressive ability to take an amazing show from Japan and make it absolutely terrible. I almost always watch the subtitled versions of anime, because it's simple better.

But there are two that I have found with flat-out amazing dubs: Cowboy Bebop and Fooly Cooly. I haven't seen the Japanese dubs of either to compare, but I do know that the English dubs worked out perfectly. I don't know if anything was lost in translation in Fooly Cooly, but it wouldn't matter anyway since that show made no sense. Amazing show, but completely ridiculous.

I think Hellsing OVA (and normal) had better English dub than the Japanese dubbing, mainly because Nazi?s talking in Japanese is weird and bad.

 

[Brickcups]

I was under the impression good american dubbing didn't exist. I should give it a shot sometime... sometime later that is.

 

[LongAndShort]

My votes for Cowboy Bebop. One of my favourites.

 

[MelziGurl]

I have quite a few favourites, too many to list actually.

 

[KValentine]

I prefer dubs in anime set in America since it seems to fit better. Gunsmith Cats works for me. I also like Goldenboy.

Slayers and Spirited Away are also my favorite dubs.

 

[Gigano]

I thought Death Note had some pretty good English voice acting. Alucard's English voice in Hellsing was also quite excellent.

 

[EnzoHonda]

The Cowboy Bebop dub is significantly better than the sub. It's actually shocking how much better the English voices fit the characters.

 

[Nazulu]

Full Metal Alchemist to me. Everything in that show is more western than anything else so the shoe fits perfectly.

 

[Caligulove]

I havent seen most of those... but I have seen the comparison of Bebop between US and Japanese... and the english fits perfectly with it in the dub.

Not to mention, English is better suited for the jazz and blues theme/vibe of the whole show.

The only two other than pokemon, digimon, dragonball, yugioh, etc that I've seen are Stand Alone Complex and Howl's Moving Castle, both of which are very well done (with the exception of the moment Howl said "Sophie, your hair looks just like starlight", very cringeworthy), so at the moment I can't see people's problem with dubbing, it's not like the badly done ones mentioned above were good shows to start with (controversy, I didn't like Dragonball!)
