it sucks when dubs can't get anything right at all.
Evangelion and Ranma1/2 are the only dubs I've seen that got it right, so I don't know what you're talking about.
I've seen plenty of anime with good or decent dubs before- Orphen, Outlaw Star, Rurouni Kenshin, (except for bitch with the southern accent- she's awful) and so on. Some are just so damn awful, however, especially the dubs for the real unpopular not so well known anime like Sword For Truth.....I can't stand the english dub of Sword For Truth. None of the voices match the faces except for the main character, Shuranosuke Sakaki, and maybe the princess. Plus, Shuranosuke's name is constantly pronounced so incredibly incorrectly throughout the entire film. It drives me crazy.
proper pronunciation- like "shoo- ran- OH- skay"
the way they pronounce it- like "shoo- ran- uh- SOO-kee"
the main thing that is often overlooked is that the "U" in "osuke" is silent. Mispronunciation drives me insane.
