    Good dub anime?

    Basically need some good dub anime to watch while working out, since I won't be able to read subtitles if I'm actually focusing on my workout.

    I've seen all the obvious ones (toonami, adult swim etc.), so looking for something that doesn't have a terrible dub and doesn't want to make me pull my hair out, so I can still watch anime while I'm doing my home workouts

    Code Geass.

    So what if you've seen it on Toonami? Do it again.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Anything with JYB as the main actor will pretty much work out.

    Odds are if it's something Funimation did and you liked, you'll probably wind up hearing those voices again in other roles. There are some other smaller studios that can be hit or miss between unknowns or poor direction, but I'm inclined to say the days of 80s quality dubs are very unlikely. A lot of the time VA griping boils down to not sounding like the JP version or just disliking the VA in general. Instead, shoot for genres you'll find interesting.

    To name a few off the top of my head. Sentai Filmworks cannot into dubbed anime well so all their works are 50/50.

The gundams are invincible, making most 'battles' pointless with no stakes. The actions of every character, named or not, whether it comes to combat, politics, whatever, make little to no sense. The events that take place are generally poorly explained or just not explained. The characters are all one dimensional, and the overall plot is nothing special.

    It's just as terrible as gundam seed destiny, if not worse.

    Nothing can ever be as bad as seed destiny, even if you distort reality and claim false things like you did.

    is it bad that I actually liked gundam seed destiny a bit? I've noticed that I seem to have much lower expectations for shows or something then most people. It's rare for me to watch an anime and not enjoy it, though I guess it has happened once or twice.

    Everyone knows Gundam Wing only existed to be girlporn. It was the gundam attempt to pull women into their fanbase but I'm pretty sure it just ended up turning kids who watched it on toonami gay.

    Also, good dub? Almost no such thing, with few exceptions.

    Have you tried Ghibli movies? Those generally have pretty good dubs and they are fantastic movies, every single one of them (excluding Ocean Waves, fuck that movie, it was boring).

    I remember Tenchi Muyo/Universe being pretty good dubbed, but odds are you've already seen it.

    Idk, just watch Cowboy Bebop for the 2534th time.

    Gundam series tend to reflect something about the time they were created. Gundam Wing was made during the height of boybands. It has a special place in the hearts of a lot of westerners because it was their first Gundam due to Toonami.

    Trigun and the original Eva dub aren't too bad imo.

    The Hetalia dub is aweesssooommeeeee. I would suggest that.

    Dokkoida?! had a good dub, I thought.

    If you got Hulu+, they have a bunch of anime on there you can check out.

    Golden Boy's dub is fucking ridiculous/hilarious.

    I've always liked the Full Metal Alchemist and FMA Brotherhood dubs. They use almost exactly the same voice actors in both versions, and I thought it was great.

    Ah, I forgot to mention Zoids: New Century Zero before.

    Pretty much anything that was on toonami back in the day was a decent dub imo. Although it's entirely possible nostalgia has made it so that everything else sounds wrong.

    If you like the DBZ cast, Blue Gender. Though if you've been watching AS for years you've probably seen it. It was edited to fuck all though on AS. One of my old favorites though, and will only watch the dub.
