Oh, you guys should really listen to some german dubs sometimes... (Normaly german dubs are VERY good, for example for american movies and such) But animes really get... mutilated VERY often. For example the ones getting broadcast on VIVA (something like MTV, started with music).
They took the MUSIC out of Hellsing and replaced it with 4Lyn crap (Numetal, cheap) and Alucard was voiced by some random 18 year-old dude from the streets - at least it sounded like that... couldn't take more than 5 minutes of that.

The Dragon Ball series' as dubbed by Ocean studios out of Vancouver BC for YTV (Youth Television). Those were excellent unfortunately they're not available on DVD so I'm stuck with Funimations job which just isn't the same.
Cowboy Bebop maybe? Yu Yu Hakusho was pretty good too. It was jarring when I heard the Japanese voices for the first time. They just didn't seem to fit. I might add FLCL to this list too. (If you couldn't tell, I'm not good at picking absolutes)
Oh hell yeah.Dark Templar said:^this anime is the best one in any language.
That and Full-metal Alchemist, oh and Cowboy Bebop
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. But since the english voice acting is the original, I don´t think it counts.
The FLCL dub is also pretty good, and I read somewhere that the american voices for Macross Plus and El Hazard are considered by their creators as the official ones.

That saddens me on many levelsJames_Sunderland said:
You ought to try watching RahXephon. It's like if you took the good parts of NGE, made the characters more likable, the story more compelling, and the symbols and allusions make sense. I liked NGE, but I love RahXephon.Dark Templar said:^this anime is the best one in any language.
Ghost Stories hands down... Sorry but someone had to say it. And now there is something that isn't mainsteam

Also Cowboy Beebop of the ones that you've listed. It's the only anime I can think of where I can't decide if I like the subbed or the dubbed version better. And with how much better Fey's english voice suits her... it may even tip it over the edge.
I was confused, when i first read the title of your thread i thought it was gonna be a discussion on the quality of the dub itself. I've always found the voice acting to be important to my enjoyment of both Anime and video games, even the notoriously bad dubs can be entertaining. However, I was under the impression that Cowboy Bebop was generally considered to have the best american Dub in terms of quality. Furthermore i feel that a good fan-sub is superior in quality to the subs that are released on dvds. Thats not to say that all fan subs are good, but i believe that the fan subs keep a better "feel" to the anime than the direct translations often given in DVD versions.
Well duh!Marq said:
Also, can anyone help me with ideas for something to do tomorrow night as it is japanese night in my college bar which means sake, henna tats and anime. Best thing I've come up with is wearing a t shirt with this on it. (get it?)
