Ugh. this is all trivial. But I think that the reason Miyazaki's works, done through Disney, is so good, is because Disney agreed to not messing with the content, and to keep it as "pure" as possible. We're getting off the subject just a little too much.

I could care LESS about the dubs. Kinda something I don't feel there is a need to complain about cuz of the work they put into the dubs, even if some think the work is "crappy" or "shoddy", I'll still watch the dubs and originals...

"BELIEVE IT!!!"

The first time I heard that, I thought he said bullimic.

In my opinion, the worst animes are the ones that are all these sports...I mean, really, how entertaining can a sports manga/anime be? Excluding Prince of Tennis, anyway.

Agreed. Slam dunk, for example isn't that good, mainly because of the lack of cute main characters, but that's just my opinion. And Bakki the Grappler is too violent for my liking. (yet another example of lack of cute main characters. lol!)

だってばよ 。。。 "meaningless" だって

ダッテ

うそまじ。 da (t)teba (contraction of toieba) yo. In some circumstances, the term is used as an expression of annoyance and affirmation combined, so it could very easily be translated as "Believe it!"

Yu-gi-oh gx and Pokemon were pretty terrible.:p Also I believe there was an anime called pizza monkeys. I just saw a clip from it and i nearly died. *shudders*

Dubs would be better if comanies like 4kids didn't get ahold of a bunch of them and if the voice actors stopped trying to sound like the original Japanese voice actors.

The whole thing with dub jobs these days isn't editing - sure, there are examples of shows that got butchered to cater to a younger demographic, but generally speaking, companies now realize which shows go to which demographic and do market accordingly. The previous arguments are missing the 10-year gap between the way the market was in the late 90s and how it is today. And a lot has changed in that span of time.

The thing that irks me more are the choices for what to translate things to. That's not editing, though. For instance, let's take Bleach. Both Bleach AND Death Note were licensed, translated, and released by Viz, but there's some intrinsic need to translate 'Shinigami' to 'Soul Reaper' in Bleach, but at the same time, leave it as 'Shinigami' in Death Note? Really? Heck, even the literal 'Death God' meaning I would have settled for.

Although, I've given up on watching dubs for the most part also. Not because of editing, or [lack of] acting ability (except on occasion), but because the talent pool for the English companies is so small that I'm just sick and tired of hearing the exact same people over and over and over again. At least with the Japanese originals there's A) a far larger talent pool and B) the distinctive actors have to be really distinctive for me to recognize their voices enough to link them back to another role. It also doesn't help that my sisters get so annoyingly ga-ga over a few of the English voice actors - which certainly doesn't help my growing irritation with the whole thing.

To put it shortly, I carefully choose which series I want to watch before I even watch them, so I don't have a running list for 'worsts'. Although what little of Weiss Kreuz I saw was pretty awful (the only redeeming part of that was that the included dub bloopers were funny, but that can't really atone for the series itself).

Honestly, the Naruto anime is so bad because it was dubbed by CN. I mean, seriously....BELIEVE IT?

The manga is alot better.
I've read part of it, but I get that DBZ vibe, where it takes forever to defeat someone.

Cartoon Network didn't dub Naruto. They only aired it. Viz licensed Naruto (which is actually because Viz has an agreement with ShoPro to bring over their series, hence why Viz also got Bleach and Death Note), and then hired STUDIOPOLIS to do the dub. CN only has the broadcast rights. It's standard protocol for the licensing companies to outsource the dubbing to secondary studios. Only Funimation and ADV have/had the capability to do their own dubbing, and that's only true for their recent stuff. In addition, many of the older dubbing studios were Canadian in order to allow the anime to comply with Can-Con regulations. I dunno how true that is anymore, though.

in my opinion, the worst are the spin-offs of anime series. though some may be good, they usually lack the satisfaction of the original series.us

I noticed a lot of people here don't like bobobo. what you should understand is that there is not supposed to be a point to it, it's just for laughs. it is a parody anime after all. in the manga, the series that bobobo parodies are a lot more obvious.

and if you want to see some decent dubs, check out funimations stuff. you can watch some free on their website.

Dragonball Z: Okay, Eventually it devolved to a state in which the ideal characters were tall, blonde haired Aryans vying for phsyical supremacy while repeating said plot to death. Right . . .

Evangelion: I sat through an exaggerated overview of the human psyche for THAT?

Naruto: Ninjas. Magic. Kids killing other kids. Got it. I thought ninjas were all about stealth, teamwork and avoiding fighting?

Gundam Wing: I could've watched the original Mobile Suit Gundam . . . or better yet: Neither. Gerard O'Neil should come back from the dead and destroy Japan in a zombie holocaust for their creative atrocities.

s-Cry-ed: Please make the pain stop! It keeps getting worse! Make it end! It didn't end soon enough! Argh! AHHHHHHHH!!!
