Best/worst dubbed anime series
Language of your choice.
One of the best: Yu Yu Hakusho (English). Back when Funimation remembered what fun was.
One of the worst: Mirage of Blaze (English). Hysterical. XD The dude that dubbed Kenshin also voices a main guy here, but whereas the Kenshin dub is kind of ingratiatingly bad, this is just plain awful. The theme song is a special treat.
Just wanted to see what people's opinions are.

Huh, I didn't like the Kodocha dub (assuming you mean the English one). It was too shrill, which tends to work less well with English VAs than it can with Japanese ones.Jecka wrote: Worst: CCS

CCS was not good by any means, but I was more offended by the censorship than the voice acting. (Again, assuming English)
And the first two seasons of pokemon are wonderful.

Worst dubbed series?
The 4Kids version of One Piece. No question.

Re: Best/worst dubbed anime series
;_; It's sad when a relationship between two guys that never even reaches PG-level onscreen shenanigans is considered too mature of a theme for a kid's show. Ditto Syaoran's crush on Yukito (they sure left Sakura's crush on him in) and Tomoyo's feelings for Sakura (again, can't be an age thing because her classmates' heterosexual crushes on each other were left in, as was Rika's crush on the teacher) .Jecka wrote:I agree completely.pofa wrote: CCS was not good by any means, but I was more offended by the censorship than the voice acting.

The manga pushed the boundaries of "acceptable" sexual relationships (on purpose), but the anime was always aware of its target audience and was very appropriate with all its relationships, heterosexual or homosexual. :/ The censorship was ugly.
Then there was the issue where the episodes without Syaoran in them were removed from air because they felt like nobody would watch a show where the only hero was a girl. But that's different.

Re: Best/worst dubbed anime series
There are dubs that I enjoyed even if they were not good. So I probably have some sort of bias...
Stuff I don't mind watching dubbed:
Cowboy Bebop (I prefer it to the subtitled version.)
Trigun
Wolf's Rain
Yu Yu Hakusho
Eureka Seven
Escaflowne
Slayers
Zoids: Chaotic Century/Guardian Force
Digimon Seasons 1-3
Some Studio Ghibli movies
Worst dubs to me: *ponders*
Digimon seasons 4+
One Piece both versions
I don't like most anime with Vic Mignogna in them... I think he has annoyed me since the commentary on the DNAngel DVD.

Re: Best/worst dubbed anime series
I would say Yu-gi-oh! GX was a terrible English dub, but the Japanese version really wasn't any better. Don't get me wrong, I love the cheesy awesomeness of both versions, but I can't call either "good".

Re: Best/worst dubbed anime series
Yugioh GX was one of those fascinatingly awful things I watched.
Best would probably be the Ghibli dubs.

Re: Best/worst dubbed anime series
most of anime dubbed in french in the 80's are kinda ridiculous at times
they even censored words by replacing them by others (like "apple juice" instead of "beer" in Maison Ikkoku or even "tissue" instead of "bra" in City Hunter"...)
And of course they replaced the japanese names by french ones but it sometimes makes no sense in the context

replacing beer with apple juice/other stuff isn't uncommon, it happened in a lot of English dubs as well.MaitreDétective wrote: most of anime dubbed in french in the 80's are kinda ridiculous at times

Re: Best/worst dubbed anime series
All animes dubbed by "4kids" are the worst
The best I've heard is the Fate/Zero D(English Dub), it was A+mazing!!
others such as Haruhi Suzumiya (English Dub), and Cowboy Bebop (English Dub) is okay too ^^

I didn't mind the dubs of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Shakugan no Shana.
