Line 59:
* The [[FUNimation]] dub of ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' was fantastically executed. All of the characters were full of life and energy. Most of them were screaming their lungs out for half the series and still managed to keep sounding Badass. One must wonder how their voices survived that show. [[Robert McCollum]] pulled off Date Masamune's coolly sarcastic and hot blooded sides, and [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] nailed the loveable [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Idiot Hero]] that is Sanada Yukimura.
* [[ADV Films]]' English dub of ''[[Kanon]]'' is surprisingly WAY better than the original. Like someone above said, the girls in the Japanese original are too high pitched for teenager girls, while ADV's voices actually sound their age. [[Chris Patton]]'s Yuuichi has the perfect sarcastic tone to his voice, but can also do very emotional scenes as well. [[Jessica Boone]]'s Nayuki sounds the most age approiate, with a voice full of energy and cheerfulness. Tiffany Terrell's Makoto has the immaturity that her character needs and also doesn't sound like a brat. Maggie Flecknoe's Shiori sounds more like a soft-spoken woman than a teenager, which, considering Shiori's quietness and mild passive-agressiveness, fits real well. Melissa Davis' Mai gives a great acting job of not showing emotion, but giving the sense there's something underneath that coldness. The secondary characters - Joanne Bonasso's Akiko, Natalie Arneson's Sayuri and [[Caitlin Glass]]'s Kaori - all do their job well.
* [[FUNimation]]'s dub for ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt]]'' is definitely better than the original. It is more profane and vulgar and the voice work by [[Jamie Marchi]] and [[Monica Rial]] areis awesome. It was Gainax’s idea to have the English dub more raunchy and it paid off.
