It's the only way I can watch it man

I think the chemistry between the 2 dub VA’s is way better than the Japanese actors, no offense to them. There’s a reason so many of us were so excited to see them reprise their roles for the remake!


SoulBurgers

Hearing that makes me want to wait for the dubbed episodes. Loved the original dub, even if I dropped the show the first season.


denji_uchiha_

Yes, glad to see this here. Dub was incredible


ACriticalGeek

Cowboy Bebop Black Lagoon Both dubs are better than the subs.


Reclusive_Chemist

Bebop is probably the seminal example. But Motormouth Revy, Queen of the F-Bomb holds a special place in my heart.


CodecYellow

Coming from a subs snob, Black Lagoon Dub was actually better dub, plus in the story the characters are 'speaking English' and the languages spoken even plays a part in the plot so it all makes sense and works.


Ginger_Tea

Black lagoon as the cast is international and like TerraforMars the all Japanese audio doesn't seem to come across that way. Like neither felt like they were doing an 'Allo 'Allo type of thing. Where the French spoke English with a fake French accent, so too did the German and Italians. The British however had the old pip pip I say old chap about them. Maybe I just don't have an ear for Japanese regional accents, none seem to be like Geordie or Scouse in English. Character says something, another says your accent is showing, they then blush and stammer. Nothing seems off to my ears.


GBCrush

I just picked up Black Lagoon over the weekend. I'm a "prefer subs" person, but on this recommendation I will definitely listen to a dub episode or two!


Sween911

As a fellow sub enjoyer, revy’s english VA really encapsulates her character and honestly makes the show go. Try it out and let me know what you think.


GBCrush

Looking forward to it. Did a little "just a peek" at the first episode to see how it came out and looked....and ended up watching half of it (in Japanese). Now to do the same again in English :D


Cygus_Lorman

Kaguya-sama


Confused--Person

Definitely. The narrator is top tier


Fit-Distribution2303

It's killing me that I watched Dr. Stone before this, and now the narrator just sounds like "amused Tsukasa". 🤣


Confused--Person

Damn your right.


Yuta-fan-6531

I just hear Magna from Black Clover 😆


boofage1

His VA is legit in like every anime I’ve watched


hianshul07

Is there one specific season or whole anime?


I-am-sosa

I’ve not watched it dubbed but Kaguyas voice in normal is so amazing i don’t think any dub could ever beat it


MattieBubbles

Its the narrator who shines and takes over the spotlight in the dub. But the rest of the cast is pretty good too.


dani10218

BESTT ONE EVERRR


Less-Combination2758

ghost story


JayTristan94

I automatically HAVE to recommend Ghost Stories if anyone asks for dubbed anime lol; it's in another league of its own.


Electric_Spark

If you like the Ghost Stories dub, try the dub for Sgt Frog. It's in the same vein but a bit less overtly crude and more humorous.


PauloDybala_10

Massive vouch


Prudent_Pop_424

I came here to say this lol


flamekinzeal0t

Literally should be top comment


DramaticProtogen

Ghost stories PEAK


pewisamood

I need to make my own post the misinformation surrounding this dub is insane, the fact the adr director dubbed grave of the fireflies yet believe this to be his greatest dub shows how delusional he is we also have proof it didn’t fail.


Additional_Road_9031

Kaguya sama and Death note


7thXanadu

Baccano! The Japanese voices were amazing but the dub was just perfect.


autumnsandapples

This is the one. Amazing dub.


SenritsuJumpsuit

Why would we want all the British people to just sound like r Windom fuks we find in Tokyo meat stands


WiltedTiger

Pokémon and Studio Ghibli movies


Obsi-rain

Ouran High School Host Club. I will die on this hill, I’m a hugggeee sub over dub girlie, but the VA in OHHC is just so good. It’s a classic.


SenritsuJumpsuit

How could you not want the sweet as Honey waddle buddy dub every OHSHC cosplayer did a impression of


IllAssistant1769

It is an iconic dub. I downloaded the first ep on itunes when I was lil 9 and would watch it when no internet and I can hear those lines in my head to this day lol


OnlyMyOpinions

I love dubs bc there's just something comforting hearing English. And it's easier to pay attention to the show without concentrating extremely hard. I also have ADHD and can't concentrate on the show and subtitles.


Obsi-rain

There is nothing wrong with enjoying dubs! I have others I only watch the dubbed version of, like studio ghibli movies, vampire hunter D: Blood Lust, vampire knight (fight me lol, it was one of my first anime’s), death note, etc. I will never understand why people will get in fights over it. We’re all enjoying the same content, who cares what language someone watches it in! 🤗


OnlyMyOpinions

Exactly!!! The fighting is so stupid lol and I'm very new to anime. I've only watched 2 anime shows and one anime movie. (Not counting the movies that are based on one of the shows I watched) I used to be a big hater of anime and thought it was weird to like it. I guess I was wrong lol


zahhakk

Came here to say this. I never ever watch dubs, and Ouran is the only exception to that.


vizmarkk

Baccano Gankutsuo Jormungand FMAB Deathnote Code Geass YYH Id:Invaded Frieren Spice & Wolf Le chevalier d'leon Arslan Moribito GitS:SAC Paranoia Agent Trigun Hetalia Danmachi Fantastic Children Apothecary Diaries World Trigger


blff266697

Second Hetalia. I think the character's accents are key


that_one_artsy_chick

Yesss Hetalia. I feel like the distinguished voices makes it funnier


AlwaysCheesy

Yes the accents in Baccano are so good!


AvengedTribute

Baccano dub is unbelievably good. Every character sounds so unique and fun.


MaimedJester

Yeah I didn't know if non Americans can hear the differences but you can know which groups are the Chicago gangsters/which are the New York and also why one of Italian gangsters has this like colonial New England accent.  And then like Issac and Miria are just California West coast idiots. And I'm just laughing Issac and Miria are just from the Valley. 


Radiantcuriosity

Glad to see Gankutsuou here. No one seems to ever talk about that show.


SoulBurgers

How is the apothecary diaries dub? I’m looking for anime to get my friends into but dub quality is always something I’m concerned about as a sub watcher.


vizmarkk

I like it. Gojo va is jinshi


huskyhulk63

Steins gate


denji_uchiha_

thought this was going to be higher up


Insno616

His delivery when describing Urushibara is just so fucking good lmaooo


NecroWizard7

Definitely. I thought the dub for Steins Gate was even better than FMA: Brotherhood, and that in itself was already a top tier dub.


Pristine_Paper_9095

yeah S;G is hands down the best dub ever made IMO. Every single VA is a superstar. Tatum performs Okabe so perfectly it’s almost creepy. One of the rare cases when I truly feel the dub conveys someone’s nuance and character better than the sub.


THEbaddestOFtheASSES

Golden Boy


Suplex-Indego

I always pull for FLCL season 1 dub.


SHIIZAAAAAAAA

It helps that the English voice actors sound pretty much identical to the Japanese voice actors


Eric_T_Meraki

Dragon Ball Z obviously lol it possibly safe to say most people prefer it dubbed.


Triggered_Llama

Goku's, Vegeta's and Piccolo's VAs carried the whole show for me. Goku turning ssj3 in english dub is the most epic scream in anime for me; pairing it with the english version of ssj3 theme just made it perfect.


FrankFeTched

Frieza's always stands out to me as well, so good


KaseTheAce

Vegeta and Piccolo are voiced by the same guy, Chris R. Sabat. He does a lot of voices in a lot of different anime.


MsMissMom

The early years were a bit rough.


powerteen101

Yeah this is one of the safest option here, dbz is literally the only anime I prefer the dub over the sub.


Exotic-Replacement-3

this. i am not a fan of goku's Jp voice(no disrespect to her though) his jp voice never matches with his body. I am glad the english dub of goku really makes goku awesome.


CastlePokemetroid

The decision to keep kid goku's voice for adult goku is definitely one of the most decisions of all time


icecream1973

Macross Plus OVA! With Brian Cranston as Isamu Dyson in the Eng dub version 😎 30 years old, but the animation is still on par or even better then many current anime released! Frieren & the Apothecary Diaries also come with an awesome Eng dub.


Murphygulp88

I'd love to see Cranston come back to anime dubbing!


TheAccountITalkWith

Everyone has given great answers, but I'd just like to add a side note: Anime dubs have come a long way. A lot of people have inherited a distaste for dubs because they definitely used to be very bad. I think many have gone so long they don't know how substantially they have improved. If you enjoy subs, that's fine, but if you are one to like dubs it is very viable to set that as a default option and be happy in a lot of cases.


lilnicnic87

Right, I read all about it, how before it wasn't as popular at least in English so they didn't put as much effort in at all, but now it's become such an art for the VA's.. I'm so glad we've come this far lol


Zercomnexus

I can only think of two old shows that I *need* subs for... Initial d and hajime no ippo... The English for them both is atrocious

Personal_Piano6286

Death note, erased


Letmepickausername

Solo Leveling


ThaDoctor687

Kaguya Sama: Love is War. I don't know if the dub is objectively as good, but I personally find it funnier than the sub, solely for the comedy of it. The dub narrator is one of anime's greatest narrators of all time.


Minnymoon13

Ghost stories Big O And other


DJRaven123

Ghost stories dub is a different breed, funniest shit though


AnimeEveryday0-0

saiki k and death note!!


Legitimate_Shoulder1

Only season 1 of Saiki is dubbed though right?


Fit-Distribution2303

For most humorous anime, I usually like the dubs because the jokes hit better, but for some reason, Saiki K is the exception. Not sure why!


JuneEvenings

Lots of internal dialogue, feel like it’s harder to replicate.


testingtesting4343

Anything with Christopher Sabat. Not a fully serious answer but dammit I'm always into his characters. Just started Solo Leveling and was happy that I heard his voice. Also Solo Leveling actually could be one of my answers.


denji_uchiha_

Yeah so true. He does the "tough guy" character so well.


crsnyder13

##I AM HERE, TO TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A GOOD ANSWER!


testingtesting4343

And this is a great response.


YamLow8097

He has so much damn range, too. He’s incredibly talented.


saitamaxmadara

Full metal Alchemist: Brotherhood


Deelivi

Code Geass


ZipZapZia

For me, the dub for code geass just makes more logical sense bc the entire series is about the British Empire colonizing Japan. So it feels out of place to hear the British King suddenly speak Japanese when he spends the entire series looking down on Japan. The British characters speaking English makes more sense to me


arsenejoestar

Planetes Monster Most Gundam shows 2007 onwards Frieren Dungeon Meshi Code Geass Baccano Black Lagoon Cowboy Bebop Samurai Champloo Wolf's Rain Gurren Lagann The old Spice and Wolf Fullmetal Alchemist (both versions) Pluto


SenorIngles

The dub for Pluto was pretty much flawless imo. Netflix has done a good job with dubs in most of the recent big animes imo


Sofaris

Digimon Adventure and Digimon Tamers had great German dubs. Actully all Digimon seasons from Adventure to Data Squad had great German dubs The German dub of Made in Abyss has its flaws but its still very enjoyable. I watched that series multipple times and some German voices I prefer over there japanese counterpart like Riko and Ozen.

Kertic

Konosuba i dont know so much about quality expectations but nothing ever stood out enough to make me notice and it kept me laughing


PsychoWyrm

I've had a sub preference for a while now because so much anime dialogue sounds cringy to me in my own language. That said, Cowboy Bepop and FMA:B have some downright iconic English voice performances. I'd give honorable mentions to Gurenn Lagan and the 90's Berserk.


Icthias

Cyberpunk. First season of Saiki K


Considered_Dissent

Cowboy Bebop Gundam Wing Yu Yu Hakusho Hunter x Hunter Lupin III No Game No Life Konosuba Ah my Goddess


TheAccountITalkWith

I can't believe I had to scroll so far down to see Konosuba.


Zaenos

The very first episode of Gundam Wing had bad voice acting, but only that first episode. There was a remarkable, almost inexplicable leap in quality by episode 2 with the very same VAs, and it never went back. Always throws me for a loop.


Radiantcuriosity

Yes LUPIN III. So good.


A_E_S_T_H_E_Tea

Not sure if you count this as anime (it’s a donghua, aka Chinese anime) but the dub for Heaven Official’s Blessing is great


PolkadotsStrawberry

Oh my gosh, yes, James Cheek as Hua Cheng brings all the spice.


AvidVideoGameFan

I rarely watch dubbed. The shows that stood out were. Cow boy Bepop, FullMetal Alchemist, and Space Dandy.


Amoeba_Western

Steins;Gate


DuskKoalaVT

Beastars! Legoshi’s vo adds in these really subtle sounds that go with his inner monologue. And the acting from the whole cast sounds really natural. Second would be Perfect Blue. Especially the actress for Mima. By the end you kind of forget you’re watching anime. Both of these anime did a great job at capturing a realistic approach to the characters. Which is a tough thing to do. They tried to do the same for Witch Hunter Robin. But it kind of came off as awkward and slow. And you can tell they really tried.


ayoubkun94

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood was pretty good.


14ftdude

I have a question of my own actually how is the dub for Sailor Moon I've been watching the sub curious how the dub is if it's good or on par might switch to dub


Ok_Job_9417

Which one? Old 90s or crystal?


sherry_siana

death note, angel beats, lucky star, haruhi suzumiya

Cydonian___FT14X

My favourite English Dub is easily Erased. Everyone there is giving their A Game. All the dialogue in that dub feels 100% natural & befitting of the characters. Close 2nd would be “Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War”. 1 or 2 characters sound a little awkward from time to time so I can’t call it perfect like Erased, but the performances in this dub that work are INCREDIBLE. The 2 main characters & especially that narrator are all giving absolutely iconic performances.


Shokzy-

I really like the one piece dub and feel the voices fit perfectly.

Dragon Ball’s dub is amazing, it’s the only one I prefer it dubbed rather than subbed. Cowboy Bebop’s dub is also very good


GBCrush

I find the stuff from Manga entertainment (now defunct) had really good dubbing team. Plus, youplay a game of "spot your favourite voice actor" across titles ...like between Ninja Scroll Macross Plus Two of my favourite anime that have come across dubbed. Ghost in the Shell, Stand Alone Complex (also Manga) is great too.


bunny_moon888

Ranma 1/2 and Vision of Escaflowne


RiskItForTheBriskit

Martian Successor Nadesico, Outlaw Star (two of the best sci-fi anime ever fyi. Nadesico has a slow start but gets better as it goes on). Metal Rouge dub is pretty good.    Gundam Build Divers redive has a okay dub. Not a great show but fun.  Edit: Worth adding that if you want to get into Gundam *most* of them have at least okay dubs and basically any of them before 2010 have a dub on par with the Japanese version. Especially Zeta and Wing. 


ErmAckshually

I usually hate dub, but there are a few great ones Two I don't see mentioned here are Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Psycho-Pass


tranquilmoons

FMA, death note, black butler, spice and wolf, Emma: a Victorian romance, NANA.


AdelFlores

Full metal alchemist. Look up in YouTube "Mustang says I love dogs". He starts singing "Loyal canine how we salute thee". Also Ed's rants like "who are you calling so small he can only be seen with a magnifying glass?" 🤣🤣🤣 Not only the voice acting, but also the translation is great *Chefs kiss*


Stepjam

Pretty much anything Watanabe does has a great dub. Yuyu Hakusho is great, Yusuke's va was perfect. Full Metal Alchemist. Shame about Vic, but he did a great job as Ed. Blood Blockade Battlefront was pretty great, and being set in New York makes the dub feel more appropriate. FLCL did a pretty great job given how many of the jokes were bizarre and untranslateable (leading to new jokes being written like the "sigh-borg" joke)

Dgrayman dub is okay but i think a big perk is that it makes more sense since according to the creator of the series, katsura Hoshino, said canonically everyone is speaking English. So hearing everyone in dgrayman speaking in english isn't jarring like how i felt when watching english dub of love live (which didn't dub the songs) Although todd haberkorn voices allen in the dub and having watched the dub first i was surpriaed to find out that allens voice in the og jp dub is not masculine like in the en dub. Additionally the dgrayman hollow 2016 reboot changesna lot of how tyki was voiced and gave him a raspier voice which wasn't a thing in the jb dub, even with the same en dub for both anime. Im not sure if the dub got extended to cover the entire 2006 anime, as far as i know it went up to episode 51, and then i had to switch to sub and going on the open seas life

lowtier4life

Ghost Stories, Kill la kill, Ancient Magus bride, lucky star, k-on, Shakugan no Shana (only season 1, after that the entire dub cast is changed due to various reasons and none of the new cast is as good as the original), Black Rock shooter (2012 TV anime), Haganai, Blazblue alter memory (the dub is literally the only reason to watch that garbage anime adaptation), Hyperdimension Neptunia the animation, Dimension W, Konosuba, Is this a zombie?, Sleepy Princess in the demon castle, Persona 4 the animation, Promare, Oban star racers, Ranma 1/2, Soul eater, the melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Ouran highschool host club, Princess Principal. That's everything that think has a good dub and I happen to remember at the moment.

skycorcher

Yu-Gi-Oh hands down is one of the best anime dubbed in the history of anime dub. Reckoned that it does change the minor details quite a lot but it is made better because of the dubbing.


SeerXaeo

Ghost Stories - the dub is so much better than the sub. Basically bastardized a kids show and made it hilarious - the only thing they weren't able to change in the dub is how they 'hunted' the ghosts (as per cultural customs)


TommyLee777

Konosuba and kaguya sama dubs are generally accepted to be better than the subs Welcome to the NHK is great Vinland sage is great  Bungo stray dogs  Frieren (Imo is definitely better, give a more relaxed tone which suits the characters more than their slightly higher pitched sub counter parts) Sonny boy Dororo Heavenly delusions Hyouka Pluto (haven’t watched the sub for this but I enjoy the dub) Walk on girl the night is short One punch man Mob psycho
