Sometimes they turn out excellent. Case in point: Holo.

the only good english dubs are the ones done by ocean studios like inuyasha, key the metal idol, the original dbz dub, and death note
americans can't dub anime for shit, its the same 10 people doing 100 roles and they all have 2 voices max so everyone sounds identical
John Barnes
Did we watch the same dub? English Holo sounds like a self-important bitch.
Koshimizu-san is so sweet in comparison.

Fuck you guys this one had a good cast and had heart to it, it wasn't even Funimation's fault about the changes. Jerry Jewell and Alison Viktorin are the best dub duo. Also now that there are both americanized and overly close to the script versions of this in America it shows the Americanized one can be better than when they both stay too close to the script and the actors are directed to emulate the original VAs 100%. I know Americanizing anime is retarded, but I felt they did good work despite it, and used being forced to do it to a couple strengths.
This was honestly one of the best Funimation works to listen to but I understand why everyone hates it, the main cast just gave it a really good quality for me. It always pissed me off it stopped immediately at the sign of plot, not just because it stopped being made but because I wanted to hear this cast doing plot related stories.

watch more dubbed anime, pleb

I watched a dubbed episode of this randomly not too long ago and I thought it didn't sound that great. I don't get why its dub is so fondly discussed.
Wyatt Wilson
dubs are just inherently worse than the original language
this isn't debatable
Anthony Jenkins
Good thing this OP wasn't one of the ones saying "dubs that are better than the japanese"
Ian Peterson
>this isn't debatable
yes it is
Ayden Gonzalez
Cowboy Bebop is the only good dub anime.
Samuel Campbell
Anything with Chris Sabat and the girl who did Hondomachi have good dubs.
Liam Bell
cuz it's probably peoples first anime and they saw it dubbed.
Brody Morgan
i genuinely prefer the english voices for Neptunia.
Gavin Bell
Matthew Rivera
also really liked the english voice cast for LWA. that's a show that sounds better in english imo
Christian Howard
Drifters has a pretty good one. I think Toyohisa's VA does a great job. Actually everyone does. Maybe Olmine is spotty in like, one or two scenes, but solid overall.
Nathan Long
British Holo does things to my dick

>tfw when Neptune is voiced by Gaz from Invader Zim
Adam Wilson
So was Ed from Bebop
Asher Mitchell
Cromartie High is great
Carson Phillips
This show had a good dub.
Evan Moore
solely for reigen
Cameron Brown
That was a pretty solid dub. Haven't seen S2 though yet.
Christopher Turner
t. Watched dubs from one studio and assume that all dubs are the same shit but goes on to cream his pants when hearing the same voice again for the billionth time in the original audio.
Dubs generally stink but the voice acting industry has a bad case of reusing the same handful actors with the same two voices again and again all over.
Christopher Bennett
No.
Ian Walker
we'll never get a dub as good as this again
Jayden Harris
>reusing the same handful actors with the same two voices again and again all over
that's the biggest problem I think. the quality of the acting and voice direction for dubbed anime has gotten a lot better since 2000s but it's still the same small talent pool cast for every show.
you'd think with the rise of voiced video games there'd be a larger pool of voice actors to draw on, but english dubbed anime still seems to feature the same tiny group of actors who've been doing dubs for years.
Hudson Brown
It wasn't referring to dubs alone, it's dubs and subs with that or does no one remember the era where the idol seiyuu clique kept shilling insert girl here of choice in all the lead roles? HanaKana for example.

Not if Bang Zoom has anything to say about it.
Jaxon Allen
That wasn't just a dub it's straight up an official abridged series.
Nathan Rivera
That's because they literally hire people who audition at cons.
Matthew Martin
They seem to be the reason "battle shounen dub acting" is still a thing.
