Anime that is better in English?

First of all I know how subjective this is. Some people can't stand any Japanese dubs and others can't stand any English. So lets try to be as general as possible.

What anime has a generally better English dub than it's Japanese counterpart?

I personally think that Cowboy Bebop does but I'm struggling to think of many others.

Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing, Fullmetal Alchemist, Trigun, any anime in which the English cast doesn't have to voice young children to be honest.

I much prefer the Japanese voices, but High School of the Dead has a really good dub I think. Obviously Dragon Ball has a good dub too. Angel Beats has a decent dub, but the sub is way better and more emotional. Can't think of any others off the top of my head, most I've heard are just terrible.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

DB, DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, I got bored of it but Gurren Lagann's seemed decent, Pokémon.

I think DBZ is the best example, Goku sounds like a 6 year old girl not the big bulky dude he is. I really don't get why they went with that VA, Vegeta has a decent one he sounds deep and manly.
Goku's just like NYAAAAAAAHH!!!

Maybe the script isn't always good but Sean Schemmel does Goku great.

All of it. :cool:

Actually, I don't know, I watch dubs exclusively.
I love building PCs. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask. I can help you with almost any kind of PC you'd want to build.

So, I totally just learned this, but did you know that a TON of anime that focuses on the warring era of Japan has a female seiyuu voice Kenshin on purpose because historically he was such an effeminite guy?

Remind me to poison your sandwhich once I get back to the kitchen. <3

I adored the Mardock Scramble anime, which I saw dubbed. Honestly, shows like Gantz, Speed Grapher, Devil Survivor, DBZ, or anything with a lot of action is better for me in English so I can pay attention to the animation, since I don't speak a lick of English. I like also watching the Japanese tracks for dramas that I really like, like From the New World or Ef, since I want to see the original performances.

I never like english dubs for foreign shows. They never take things seriously and end up sounding ridiculous. If it fits the show, fine, but if it doesn't, you're doing it wrong.

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

DBZ comes to mind for Goku not violating my ears every time he screams. Yugioh as well, since it's far easier to be afraid of a growly voiced British guy than a squeaking voice

All of them. I don't speak Japanese and I can't stand subtitles so if I'm watching any amine, it's English dub or nothing
