Zeta Gundam's dub has to be a joke. I mean, really, what kind of dub was that? I mean, Vancouver were never that good, but they were better. I don't buy the union fiasco at the time, either. They dubbed the SEED OVAs and SEED Destiny during that time. The English dubbed aired in the Philippines way back in the beginning of 2006.
The Zeta dub sounds like a joke. I kinda don't blame dub haters for existing. If there ever was a legit reason to hate on dubs, then Zeta Gundam is your punching bag. [expletive] horrible dub. Worse than DBZ, worse than Yu-Gi-Oh. Damn you Bandai. Damn you. |
Blue Water, I admit, is worse than cancer. But I dunno about Vancouver. While some Ocean dubs are bad, think they do Gundam pretty well (okay, Wing was a little crappy, but it was the 90's, MSG was decent, I haven't heard SEED's dub yet, but I think Gundam 00's dub was genuinely great). I also think that they did a great job with Death Note and Black Lagoon, and while I have my complaints on Inuyasha, the dub isn't one of them. I kind of feel bad about Ocean going off and dying in terms of anime, just as they were starting to put out consistently good dubs too.

I have that first boxset and if it weren't for the entire anime community going, "Yes, Monster is an awesome narrative" I wouldn't continue with the dub. And I'm a dub fan! So I'd like to finish it (you can import them? I might do that.) if to see what the fuss is about. |
People don't like the Monster dub? I thought Dr. Tenma was Liam O'Brian's best role to date. I never saw the show subbed and marathoned the whole thing on Amazon Instant Video. I had no idea I was in the minority. I mean... I don't think every character sounds God blessed perfect, but they all sounded good enough for me. Maybe I'm just dwelling on the later parts though. Perhaps the earlier parts of the dub were poor and my nostalgia glasses are fogging my vision.

 I was searching for updates on Hunter x Hunter for the last week, and your reply was at the top. Super coincidence.
I do want to finish Monster; I've only seen the first fifteen in dub, but there were a lot of little things cutting against it. Hammy acting - Michelle Ruff playing a different nurse in every episode. Seriously, take a drink everytime you hear her voice. You'll die.
Perhaps I was in a bad mood - maybe I'll give it another chance.

Hammy acting? I admit that some of the one-episode characters were over the top, mostly the greedy antagonists, but I'm used to that in anime. A lot of the time, even in realistic shows, the lead roles sound normal while the villains, especially henchmen, sound overly stupid, whether it was like that in the Japanese or not.
To be fair, I watched Monster in dub only, having only listened to a few subbed clips to get a feel for the voices. But judging on its own, I still thought it was one of the better dubs. Perhaps you were in a bad mood, or perhaps I'm just not seeing the flaws that exist.
