I can see why someone would dislike Eric Vale's performance of Trunks. Not that the acting itself is bad (at least not in my opinion), but the type of voice he chose to use was odd. I've gotten used to it now though, and honestly, it would be weird hearing him with any other voice.

I'm gonna have to disagree about Speed Racer. Sure, the dub isn't that good, but its far from being the worst dubbed anime. Compared to the Big Green DBZ dub, Speed Racer is comedy gold. Ironically, the fast-paced, non-stop dialogue of the dub gave Speed Racer a new identity, a new tone. It made Speed Racer memorable. It made Speed Racer iconic.

[@thebladezmanII]

Like I said in another comment; it's hard to really hate the dub when you read about all the work that was dumped on Peter Fernandez that included only scripting and recording in 2 days...

[@darthgoku90]

Aw come on. Speed Racer may have been a bad dubbing, but that was kinda what made the show so memorable if you ask me. Plus it was one of the first anime to become popular in the US, so it essentially paved the way for the future global success of DBZ, Pokemon, Digimon, Gundam, Voltron, Robotech, etc.

I was surprised to see Yugioh on this list; but then, back when I was actually _watching_ that show, I didn't have the ability to watch anything except what was on TV (which was all English dub) so I was willing to take whatever I could get without question. ...Though, dubs or subs, I like 5ds better than the original just because I hate Yugi's design (why is he so short? what's with the gravity-defying hair?! HOW DOES EVERYBODY _NOT_ NOTICE THAT THERE ARE TWO YUGIS WHEN THEY'RE SO DIFFERENT?!?!). Bakura made way more sense.

+karl eichholtz I love the Viz Dub of Sailor Moon

[@taracat1235]

I like sailor moon Crystal

[@danwilliams1989]

I'd personally give the English dubs for Astro Boy and Speed Racer a little more leniency, considering those existed at a time where America was just learning to translate anime.

[@mach6247]

7:42 As Doug Walker himself once said "So the appropriately names DIC entertainment"

[@CryptoJordanVR]

They forgot to drive home the fact that it's ONLY the 4Kids dub version of One Piece that sucks! They made it sound like the Funimation dub sucked too but it DOESN'T! The Funimation Dub is AWESOME! In fact, pretty much anything that's dubbed by Funimation is great voice acting. Funimation settles for nothing but the best when it comes to acting. Edit: Except for Negima apparently.... Also, the main characters of Yu-Gi-Oh! are easily the standout voice acting performances and (contrary to WatchMojo) those are actually REALLY dang good especially Joey & Kaiba.

[@fanta4897]

I still think nothing beats ,,When they cry'' with english dubbing, it was so bad.

[@CORF.]

The title alone is an absolute travesty

[@fanta4897]

CORF Yes.

[@Dullsonic3]

+Frank Serial No. 040897 What makes it's dub so bad?

[@rockstarrzz7171]

+Zachary Putnam It's just overall pretty bad, but the subbed version was also crap so it kinda evens it out

[@wahlex841]

+Frank Serial No. 040897 Well, it's hard to emulate a "psycho laugh made while seeing loli stabbing herself in her neck repeatedly" types of sound.

[@Ghostkilla773]

After you watch the original Japanese then the 4kids it's like 2 different shows

[@TheFattyKarate]

"Serena"'s surname was Tsukino in the English dub. I remember one episode of the CWI dub has her introduce herself to someone as "Serena Tsukino". I think you're confusing the anime and the Mixx translation of the manga (where her first name was Bunny) as well as the original US dub of the anime and the many international dubs (French, where she's called Bunny Rivière, Italian where she's called Bunny Sukino)

[@tylercamp8808]

Your Sailor Moon company listing in your video is off, it is actually DIC Entertainment that produced a bad english dub whereas Viz was the uncut version that used the original names.

[@goe5]

Thank god Yu Yu Hakusho had an amazing English dub

[@typhoonic]

Hell yeah! Best 100+ episode anime ever in my opinion. The English script is fucking epic - for the right reasons.

[@Juan.Padilla1998]

goe5 it's Funimation. What do you expect?

[@KaraMorassco]

I find it funny they didn't mention it when they talked about the voice acting. Since I recognized two voices from DBZ was in YYH. Android 17/Hiei & Older version of Dende/Yusuke.

[@karissmallworld2378]

All the dubs just reminded me of my childhood Why were there so many low quality voice clips in the shows I used to watch xD

[@abelmoore7645]

at around 0:49 what show is that from

[@parkouremaster]

Wow dbz in america was a shit. Meanwhile here in latin america, dbz is one of the best animes with voice acting.

[@dol_mel7487]

your thinking about dbzs shittiest dubs cause not only did america dub it

[@StarWritterSW]

In Brazil, it's just Fantastic the Voice acting!

[@parkouremaster]

[@bigbangpegasusmaster]

+Gary Correia Though you also had superman goku

[@marcoscruzherran7385]

Indeed, im from mexico and i loved the dubs. I hated freeza's voice in english.

[@FriendlyHougen]

Maybe Higurashi or Elfen Lied?

[@matzsen6022]

YEEAEAEEAS

[@WillOfMe420]

Literally just about to post "where is Higurashi" lol

[@SoganaxSaeki]

+FriendlyHougen I was going to say "higurashi is easily one of the worst, wtf?" but i can't agree about Elfen lied, the way that it was recorded makes sense for the characters, because they all have some sort of tragic back story, so it makes sense for them to seem a little detached from their emotions. I don't agree with Watchmojo about Fushigi Yuugi, either, because although i agree it's not one of the absolute best dubs i've ever watched, it's really not even bad enough to be an honorable mention on this list.

[@dinosowermethod]

+LifeOrDeath93 higurashis voice acting fits because of the age of the characters and elfen lieds only bad voice was Yuka but she was a side character so she doesn't matter

[@WillOfMe420]

+Reaper Ciavirella I'm glad that you found it alright. For me, the characters voices are wayyyyyyyy to high pitched or just flat out wrong and you can't even compare it to the Japanese dub. I mean come on, those laughs.

[@GWolfV3]

Like...I'm legit having trouble coming to terms with the fact you didn't actual research the dub before you threw it into a list along side professionally produced shows.

[@CryptoJordanVR]

The Big Green Dub of Dragon Ball Z looks SO BAD that it's hilarious! xD

[@lydiaaa5628]

I LOVE the sailor moon dub sooo much. It's so bad it's good. I guess i'm biased because I watched it as a kid

[@Ichiboy900]

I might get shit for this, but Corey in the House. Steven Blum is a great voice actor, but choosing him to voice Corey was just not a good fit at all.

2:10 when you a robot and u got alot of calories that make u even sweating. yeah u are a robot that has a bad armpit smell.

[@davidknapp5598]

In all honesty, a select few of these "bad" dubs were among my earliest introductions to anime as a kid (like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura). And while I never actually watched Yu-Gi-Oh, I still remember how big it was back in the day. Of course, I also watched Speed Racer (which I already knew would make the #1 spot). They used to air it on the NASCAR channel, and I would often watch it at a neighbor's house on school nights. In other words, I kinda have sort of a nostalgic soft spot for some of these "bad" dubs. I'm confident I'm not alone.

[@PKMN37]

Thank god Funimation bought the dubbing rights for One Piece from 4kids, otherwise the crappy dub work would've been what we were stuck with. It wasn't just the dub that 4kids was infamous for, it was also notorious for its heavy editing.

[@DirgeTV]

Well, it's all in the name of the studio really (hence the editing). Still no excuse for the terrible voices though.

[@kevintyson1947]

+PKMN37 Highly agree. 4kids fucked up yu-gi-oh gx for me. They didnt even dub the fucking last season!

[@ashleys8730]

And I'm glad they were only talking about the 4kids dub because I thought they were going to be like anime American podcast who hate the funimation dub too. I don't see what the problem is with the funimation version when I think it's what changed it for the better. The same applies for viz media redubbing sailor moon.

[@PKMN37]

Ashley S Agreed. Dubs have it so much better now than they ever did before.

[@bogzbiny]

About the "Big Green" , in the hungarian dub, Piccolo is called Satan, while Mr. Satan is called Hercules. Goku, Gohan and Goten's names are always sayed out like Son Goku, Son Gohan and Son Goten, Vegeta never calls Goku Kakarot, and for some reason, Tien is always called Ten Sin Han. Help us please!!!!!

[@ghhjnbghjn8921]

Because the originial normal names are Son goku, Son Gohan and Son Goten. And it's Tenshinhan, not tien.

[@bogzbiny]

Robin art•15• I know about that, but they were translated from the english version according to my information, where they call them Goku, Gohan, Goten and Tien. It's kind of annoying that they say the full names all the time, especially after watching the english dub.

[@imnotaweeb8440]

The dragon ball z one made my day

[@enricosanchez894]

You're crazy. Speed Racer was brilliant.Peter Fernandez wrote the English scripts, did numerous voices in Speed Racer (including Speed), plus sang the theme song.

[@David315842]

Seriously?! So many things wrong with this Top 10. 1. Using the Japanese version of One Piece using the 4Kids dub and hardly acknowledging that was the dub you were referring to, some people may have thought you were talking about the superior FUNimation version, as that at least was uncut. 2. Beast Wars II's dub was NOT an OFFICIAL dub! It was an unofficial fan made dub, so you can forgive it for not being too professional. The rest of the dubs in this countdown were professional dubs. 3. Cardcaptor Sakura was called 'Cardcaptors' by Nelvana. They did more or less dub as many episodes as they could, though changed many things to best suit a western audience of kids, due to mature subject matter like gay relationships. Geneon did release a few of these episodes, BUT they released the Japanese version (with NO uncut dub) in it's entirety. The only alternate dub which is uncut is a Hong Kong produced dub which is found on the recent DVD's and Blu-rays put out by NIS. BTW Nelvana owns the dub, not Geneon. 4. Sailor Moon's English rights is currently owned by Viz Media, but it's unclear who owns the original dub(s), which were edited much like Cardcaptors was to best suit young children. By the way, DIC is pronounced Deek. It does not contain initial dots separating each letter. 5. Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0 is the ONLY anime property owned by Toei Animation/Toei Company. Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (Of which footage was used in this Top 10) and all other series after that is owned by TV Tokyo, NAS and animated by Studio Gallop. 6. Not ALL the Big Green footage came from Bojack Unbound, some came from Tree of Might and Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan. WatchMojo.com....FAILS when it comes to research! Top 10 WatchMojo.com lists that pissed people off. (This is dead cert for number one thus far).

[@elliottgaal9774]

+David315842 They are only marginally better than actual journalists.

[@David315842]

Elliott Gaal And the point of that is exactly? Errors are errors.

[@elliottgaal9774]

David315842 I mean in terms of credibility. I respect them more than I do actual journalists.

[@David315842]

Elliott Gaal That's all well and good, but still, they made a lot of mistakes and this countdown seems half-cocked to me. Not all, but some of their countdowns have similar issues, or at least not everyone will agree with them on their lists.

[@elliottgaal9774]

David315842 That is a given. Not everyone will agree on everything. It does feel rushed. This one feels particularly heated.

[@alexklicper2338]

I liked yugioh dub as kid and one piece XD

[@jetzce6330]

I watched one piece with sub when i was six

[@Mike--Oxmall]

I had no idea Card Captors was edited so heavily, I used to love it but then had no idea wtf was going on, she randomly gets a guy friend whose a card captor as well without explanation.

[@dieterdelange9488]

They tried to make Syaoran the main character in order to make it a "non-girly" show (and by also making Sakura a "tomboy"). Of course, all references to same-sex love were removed, as were indeed virtually all of the relationships. Most fans liked the voices from the Nelvana dub (and from what I've seen they are better than those of the other dub, which is appallingly bad). If Nelvana had released a full, uncut version, with all the original names, music, etc., it could have been brilliant. Having only watched the full series subbed, I've been spared the editing, censorship and terrible voices. 😂😅

[@tiaaaron3278]

4Kids Yu-Gi-Oh! had great voice-acting,but the stupid censorship ruined it.

[@Lasherluke]

+Tia Aaron I feel the dub of Every series after gx should of been on here instead of the original yugioh.

[@kohlerxxx]

+Lasherluke agreed I stopped watching the dub entirely after they didn't finish gx

[@Scsigs]

They had to change the the cards for monetary reasons. It would've cost a hell of a lot more to run the show with the cards looking like they do in real life because American broadcasting standards would've considered it a long commercial in the process, so they had to visually edit the cards. Censorship also came into play, resulting in them having to change the pictures on some of the cards to meet the standards. This was done in the card game itself as well, since it's aimed at kids primarily. The violence was also toned down because of censorship. 4Kids get a bad rep for what they were forced to do to the shows they dubbed when dubbing them. Not defending the dumbass decisions they made, I'm just saying they were forced into a lot of them. People never consider the fact that they wanted to release redubbed episodes of some of their animes on DVD & actually did for Yugioh until they cancelled them 9 episodes in. They also wanted to do the same for One Piece, but seeing as they wanted nothing to do with it in the first place, those were quickly scrapped.

[@soundjarvis81]

Does Beast Wars second count? As this was a fan project. If you want a bad Transformers dub then watch Headmasters, Masterforce or Victory.
