i don't have any problem with gags(remembers the mustache incident), but this particular one just wasn't funny... it was stupid and lame. |

Actually, the Champloo dub is excellent, up with the ranks of the Cowboy Bebop and Trigun dubs. |

Oh man! They aired a Mr T cartoon and I missed it.
 God, I can't believe I missed that.

I'm not going to get into my opinion of the FMA dub for the thousanth time, but I just can't fathom why it would be on a list of great dubs. I thought that many of the VAs, despite their talent, utterly failed their characters. But if you're judging by the transition of the script, I would say that it does a (mostly) excellent job.
I'm surprised The Big O isn't on the list. I don't remember whether it was available on home video first, but I can imagine if it hadn't been, it would be on the list. It has a strong cast all around, even some of the minor characters are voiced well. The main four, though, (Roger, Dorothy, Dastun, and Angel) are especially strong. In addition, the script seems to be well-done. |

That was the idea. The humour comes from the fact that's is so ridiculously stupid, silly goose. : ) |

Case Closed as #10? Well, I guess that's only because there aren't that many made-for-TV dubs...
But seriously, even if we completely disregard the whole purist dumbed-down argument, I can't say I'd agree. I really think Case Closed is not a good dub, not even given its circumstances. If it had been dubbed at the same time as, say, the original Speed Racer, then I guess I could understand, but as a dub, it's so... 80s... It essentially just takes the Japanese version, makes some cuts and name changes here and there, then regurgitates it. Enough to piss off purists, but not enough to be innovative at all... (I'd equate it to just about any post-Pokemon 90s TV dub, just with more changes.) I say Brian just stuck it in to take a jab at the purists XDDD. |

Despite the fact that I don't really agree with the list, it's his opinion, not mine. And hope he did. I hate purists. And is it just me, or does it seem like every blurb on Eva is a little jab at that, too? ; P |

Well, I disagree as well as many others. Matter of fact, I don't like the japanese cast of FMA. I think FMA is a prime example of just how good a dub can be and the voice acting in it is mostly fluid and natural with a script that stays close to the original. FMA is a terrific dub, but I do understand the beliefs to the contrary. After all, to many fans dubs are inherently inferior or bad no matter how well they're done. |

It wouldn't have been that long ago that a list would have been impossible, so far has dubbing come in just 5 years. What used to be retched has now become a serious and viable alternative to enjoying anime. The joke really is only on dubhaters.

They added an overabundance of "fart-noises" to everyone's sacred FMA and GiTS: SAC. While I'm not a fan of flatulence humour, I liked this joke since it was done intentionally to annoy everyone. Remember, the essence of the joke is not the fart-noises, it's the fact that they're just trying to annoy you. I thought it was pretty funny in that aspect. |

I enjoyed the dub for the most part but I still liked the Japanese voices better-- primarily because whoever cast Roy's english voice must have been stoned out of his noggin. It's AWFUL though. But then again I'm very tuned to accent, and the Texan drawl is pretty obvious to me. If you want an example of where that accent takes over and consumes a show, check out the Fruits Basket dub. It's like getting boxed in the ears. Back on the topic of FMA dub, Al, MAN. That kid is in-freakin-credible! He is probably the best one on the whole dub, it's just unbelieveable. Very impressive.
