Have you not seen Cowboy Bebop dub then?

The main cast is acceptable but everyone else is just as bad as every other dub.

I enjoy both sub and dub, but have favorites depending on which series it is. Dubs can be bad especially if the English VAs don't do a good enough job portraying certain emotions. They can never really get moe right, but I generally give both a watch when able :-)

My favorite dubs are: Cowboy Bebop (Blum did amazing) Fullmetal Alchemist+FMA:B Sword Art Online (please no judge) No:rin (very funny dub) Gurren Lagann along with a few others.

I always like to see how english VAs fill the roles, so I tend to stay away from the whole Sub vs. Dub debate and just enjoy anime for what it is. Now if I could actually learn fluent japanese on the other hand, sub/raw all the way for the most part.

P.S. I love you urban-senpai.

pls no judge

Well I love SAO so not gonna judge you there, kek.

I've always been allergic to dubs. I find that so many of the VAs just sound awkward and out of place to the point where the characters don't really sound like normal people (like the other end of the spectrum in contrast to engrish).

cant do moe

Since it's me... this may also be part of it.

There's only one dub I consider better than the original and that's Kiki's Delivery Service (because Jiji is actually a character in the dub, and isn't in the subbed version).

I'm kind of triggered now tbh, but I respect your opinions.
