    The name says it all. What would you say is the worst english-dubbed anime out there?


    For me, it would have to be a tie between Naruto and One Piece.

    Well, I would say One Piece was the victim of bad dubbing.
    Thankfully, 4kids let the show go.

    One Piece, I love the show, but the dub is a disgrace to the show and anime in general, it is so bad, everything about it is just wrong, they changed the demographic and changed things that don't even need to be changed, it is like a totally different show.

    Well I haven't watched One Peice as much, but I think the english dub of Naruto really butchered alot of the characters names with the way they pronounced them.

    Actually Naruto gets it rather right compared to some shows when it comes to characters names, and voice acting suits the characters, though they do sound a bit bland, for a dub it isn't to bad.

    Definately Naruto.

    The "believe it!" part of the dub is so annoying.

    Naruto has the worst dubbing. Garra sounds like a guy who's got a bad sore throat and Naruto has a really bad catchphrase.

    DN Angel hands down. That anime is cool and all, but the english-dub is so horrible.

    Naruto? I mean i hate the series in general but its dub is exceptional compared to its original, The voice acting is great if not better, They use all of the original music, And the edits are small and almost unnoticeable. Besides the bad episode title choices and the way the opening/endings are done Naruto's dub is perfectly fine.

    I agree with TTC only because I dont usually watch the japenese episodes of Naruto. I only watch the english version that came out in the US sooo I cant really say that it has bad dubs I mean on one english episode when you hear Gaara scream it sounds much better than his original scream in Japense with the fight against Sasuke dont ya think? And honestly in the Japenese version, Naruto sounds like a girl >_< so I think the english version voice of him actually improved his voice in my opion.

    Naruto's voice acting isn't bad, all characters suit the parts, they just sound too dull and unexciting. But at least they kept all the original cuts and music in it.

    Naruto and DB.

    Dragon ball, only because the quality of the voice actor's was low. :/ I'm sure it would be awesome at a high quality.

    Though DB was awesome aside from that small flaw. xD

    And Naruto...I just don't like that anime too much. :/

    I think he means the original Dragonball, DBZ's dub was pretty good in terms of voice acting.

    Hell, all Dubs are horrible.

    But if I had to narrow it down, One Piece would be the absoloute worse dub. It makes me sick to my stomach sometimes. It really disgusts me that 4Kids would buy this anime, just to turn it into a pile of CRAP!

    P.S. Naruto is voiced by a woman. Maile Flanagan. For those of you who will continue to question Naruto's sexuality
