Anime Question

The worst dub jobs of all time.

What anime dubs were insultingly unloyal to the Japanese version? Not bad persay...still enjoyable to anyone who's never seen the fansubs, but have an overtly watered-down & whitewashed presence.

Examples: All cultural references are removed, the show is Americanized, the characters are renames, episodes are missing, scenes are removed, the soundtrack is replaced, characters get gender changes or have their sexual orientations compromised, the show's English target audience differs from it's Japanese target audience, etc.

Good Examples:

4Kids: Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon.
Nelvana: Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon.
World Events Prod.: Voltron.

Bad Examples: These messes are so bad they're good & don't really count as legit dubs because they're so different from their source material.

Bandai America: Samurai Pizza Cats. (The world's first Abridged anime).
Harmony Gold: Robotech. (Took a bunch of separate animes & smashed them together).

I actually like the Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! dubs. And I'm not sure what Sailor Moon you watched, but I liked the ones I watched.

The worst dubbing for me is Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles they ruined Sakura's voice. She sounds like an angel in Japanese, but in English she's annoying.

I agree with you on the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles dub.

It's not about liking it, it's about the disrespectful way in which the series was handled. They replaced all the music, cut out a few episodes, removed some scenes, changed everyone's names, gave Zoicyte & Fisheye sex changes just because they were gay, changed the lesbian couple into cousins, & wouldn't dubb the final series because of crossdressing.

Now is Ocean Studio the Canadian dubbing company by any chance? Because that name looks and sounds familiar. Also exactly what is wrong with Bang Zoom! Entertainment? I didn't hear very much criticisms as well as negative comments about those two dubbing companies in my case
