Really Good Anime Dubs Rating Comment
Cowboy Bebop (TV) Very good (dub & sub) This series has some of the best dubbing in anime history. I can only recommend this dub.
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie Excellent The same awesome cast from the TV series is in this movie. There's great English dubbing on this movie and is recommended
Magical Girl Pretty Sammy (OAV) Very good (dub & sub) The dub's really good except that Debi Derryberry's Misao is terrible. Her voice don't bring the quality of the dub down but it's unintentionally funny because she sounds like she's being strangled and gasping for air rather than talking.
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (OAV) Very good (dub & sub)
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (OAV) Very good (dub & sub)
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (TV) Good (dub & sub)
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (OAV) Good (dub & sub)
Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team (OAV) Very good (dub & sub) 08th MS Team is probably the best gndam dubs ever. I really like this dub because it expresses, moreso than the Japanese audio, that, "being a grunt in a gundam series, sucks". The dub cast is more diversified than the original Japanese audio too. I recommend this dub unless you just don't watch dubs.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, Miller's Report (movie) Very good (dub & sub)
Outlaw Star (TV) Very good (dub & sub) As good as the Japanese audio is on Outlaw Star, the dub audio is just as good if not better in some spots. I say as good as Shigeru Shibuya is as Gene Starwind's voice Robert Wicks gave twice that and more with his dubbed voice. And there are some hilarious jokes, that were added, and even though they were added, that are just completely in Gene's character. This is one dub that I recommend over the original Japanese audio.
Rurouni Kenshin (TV 1996) Very good (dub & sub)
Tenchi in Tokyo (TV) Decent (dub & sub)
Tenchi Muyo! (OAV 1/1992) Excellent (dub & sub) This is one anime dub that I sort of prefer more than the Japanese audio. I've heard some people say that they don't like the Tenchi dubs but I say they're some of the best anime dubs I have heard. If you watch Tenchi Muyo! Watch it dubbed
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (OAV 2/1994) Excellent (dub & sub) (Comment same as Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki)
Tenchi Universe (TV) Excellent (dub & sub) This dub is just as good as the original Japanese audio. It's accrate and translated very well. All the character voices fit and some lines are funnier dubbed than they are subbed. I recommend this dub.
Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files (TV) Very good (dub & sub) As most people know I don't like the Dragonball Z dub. Well back in 2002 Funimation decided to dub Yu Yu Hakusho. People were upset since they thought it was going to end up like a glorifed DBZ dub. Turns out, this is probably the best dub out of Funimation's anime library. This dub makes the Dragonball dubs, from the same company, seem like the ADR director was a monkey. Yu Yu Hakusho has a great dub. And though this dub is not 100% accurate to the Japanese version it is very close(90%-95%) to the original Japanese dialogue. The voices fit all of the characters very well. While there are a few stereotypical "Large Guy" and "Girly" voices, the voices here do justice to every character. And the original BGM is retained. This was one thing that people were afraid might get replaced since Funimation was good at making BGM tracks disappear. The thing is Yu Yu Hakusho's BGM score sounds exactly like it's from the early 90's. Thankfully Funimation decided to keep this music because it really adds to the mood and the overall feeling of the anime. Either way I'll watch this series dubbed and subbed because it's good either way but this is the best dub Funimation has done IMO and I recommend it. I remember thinking that people though that Dragonball GT and earlier parts of Dragonball Z were going to be as good as this. Turns out in 2007 Funimation still sucks at making a tolerable Dragonball Z. But they do fine in everything else.
Zoids (TV) Very good (edit.dub & raw) Even though this is edited. This is the best edited anime dub I've ever heard. This is one anime dub that unless you're a die-hard subbie, that you'll enjoy throughly.
Zoids/ZERO (TV) Very good (edit.dub & raw) (Same comment as Zoids)
