After discussing this a little in another topic I figured I would make a topic about it myself.
Personally I think Funimation does the worst job dubbing anime. I just cant stand what they put out mainly because they change the dialog so much that it sounds nothing like it should. They make the characters say "What up" and other stupid crap
What dubbing company do you think is the worst?

Ya know, even with all the crazy edits of rediculous proportions, I liked the Ocean Group Dragonball Z stuff better than anything Funimation put out.
Half the entertainment of that show came from the excellent performances of the Ocean Group. Then Funimation took over and I realised how rediculously BAD the show can really be. Perhaps, had Ocean stayed on, I'd still be watching.

Yes, they are finally doing uncut subbed releases, but as for they're TV stuff, they suck ass. TMNT is only good cuz Laird has a choke hold (thank God).
I hated whoever dubbed the Love Hina series. Hold on...gotta...reach...the DVD shelf.......BANDAI! Noooooooo!!!!

ME TOO. The voice actors were infinitely better. Gimme Ted Cole(Yamcha), Brian Drummond(Vejita) and Scott McNeill(Piccolo) over Christopher Sabat ANYTIME. Same thing with Goku's voice actor. Ian James Corlett is loads better than Sean Schemmel.

Yup. FUNimation took the badass aspect of the show and exagerrated it GREATLY!!!

Ocean thankfully dubbed every G.T Episode...it did'nt stop that series from sucking donkey balls any less, but at least the voice acting was tolerable.
The hacks who handled Transformers: Armada and Energon's dubs and release, ok, those shows both suck anyway but they don't deserve the kind of bad voice actors there given (with the exception of Daivd Kaye and Gary Chalk as Optimus and Megatron) and in Armada's case, the U.S versions' animation was'nt even safe
And of course, 4kids, who, outside of Pokemon and Ninja Turtles...should never be allowed near Naruto.

Wait, I've never watched an episode of GT...it's dubbed by Ocean? As in, Scott McNeil, Brian Drummand, Don Brown and the rest? I'd give anything to hear them take the roles again.

There're two english dubbed versions of Dragon Ball GT. The Funimation version and the Ocean Version. The Funimation dub skipped the first 16-17-18(?) episodes of the series, while the Ocean dub edits FAR LESS stuff (almost nothing) like their Dragon Ball dub.Still, both versions suck. Scott McNeill, Brian Drummond and the rest you're used to are not in the Ocean dub. It's a WHOLE NEW cast.

Oh. Too bad, I was excited there for a moment. I just want to hear Drummand's Vegita again, it was the best part of the character.
Thanks for clearing that up. :)

Even DBZ's uncut is somewhat edited, when I rented the movie Bojack Unbound i only heard one swear word and that was when Trunks said to one of Bojack's men "What the h*ll are you?". I watched the japanese version of that and there is more swearing.
