There is no dubbed anime which looks good at all. It really spoils the whole anime. Its difficult imagining a japanese-base character speaking in English.

Best: Inu Yasha, Gundam Seed (with the exception of the fact that they only used Invoke for the Gundam Seed openings)Worst: Pretty much anything done by 4kids, ie: One Piece, Yugioh, Shaman King. Naruto sadly also belongs here.

Worst: DB series, Wolf's Rain (I loved it on CN, but I heard they actually did a really bad job, but whatever) One Piece (omg, I tried so hard to get into this series cause I've heard so many good things about it, but it just sucks to me IMO)Best: Fullmetal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin (though CN had the nerve to butcher the dub... if you've only watched it on CN, I promise you the dub is much better on DVD).

For all those that say that there is no best, I think you're wrong. The fact is, if we watch something first, say dubbed, and then goto subbed, we would probably think the voices sound a bit weird. Unless the dubbing has removed a whole heap of stuff and/or done badly, we'd probably think the dubbing is done better. It's just like, Hellsing was supposedly done decently in dubbing, and my friends like the hellsing dubs. But I totally hate most of the characters english voices, probably because I watched the whole series subtitled first. But as I don't watch that many dubbed animes, I can't really say any good ones either.Best : Howls Moving Castle. I saw the dubbed version (This is a movie, not a series) and a few days later saw a subtitled version. Subtitles just aren't as funny. And Calcifer is done a lot better in the English version.Worst : One Piece. Cn totally butchered it.

I concur.I mean, watching subbed Yu Yu Hakusho hurts my ears, especially Kurama. Imagine a middle school girl on hellium yelling ROOOOOSU UIIIIPPPUUU!Howl's Moving Castle was based on a British book, so I'd expect the English version to be better than the Japanese one.And even if all dubs suck, which they don't, in my opinion, there's no possibility of there being "No best one."If all the runners in a marathon were old ladies, but they eventually finished the race, would you say there was no winner because they were all slow?Anyway, all dubs seem spectacular in comparison to the Phillipino dubbed Voltes V.So, for me:Best: Azumanga Daioh (Kimura and Chiyo-Papa especially) and Rurouni Kenshin (minus "That it is")Worst: Voltes V, Daimos, One Piece, and the first season of Megaman NT Warrior (The rest was acceptable for a kid's show)
