I should have been more specific...I mean mainstream "dubs", the hatchet jobs by 4kids and the other wannabes that have ruined and plauged the anime and american animation divisions.

I don't consider Bebop or Oulaw Stars' dubbing "mainstream", given they air in late hours on Adult Swim, or began life on DVD, and of coruse, you're right about the Anime movies as well, each outdoes thier source material.

Sometimes the Japanese voices start to annoy me. Alot of the guys sound liek girls and some are really whiney. Most of the time I like it with subtitles but movies like "Metroplis", which I thought overly sucked to begin with, make it harder to watch.
On the subject of dubbing. I like the anime Hellsing,atleast I used to, and the dubbing in the amercian version makes it boring. the Japanese dialog is way better. And Vampire Hunter D: Blood Lust probly would have been better if it had Japanese dialog but it was made to be done with English voice actors. Oh well

Then I think we're in agreement. Like that Funimation crap.

However, I find the Ocean Group (who do both late night and saturday morning cartoons/anime) can be capable of both brilliant and horrendous dubbing.

Their Beast Wars dub is immaculate. Their Energon dub...not so much.

So it's all good now. Dubs can be good if the actors do it right, and Japanese dialog can suck, too, with their high pitched voices and whatnot.

End of discussion. Back on topic.
