It’s honestly too difficult to resist just saying “anything with Takehito Koyasu in a major role”. Seriously, my mind can’t stray from his deep, hot guy voice.
edit: for dubs I’ve got to say Fullmetal Alchemist. Any time I hear the Japanese version I’m disappointed because the English performances, and especially those done for Major Armstrong and Colonel Mustang, are just too dang good.
Everyone knows it
(Japanese) I was blown away by Aoi Yuuki’s performance in “So I’m a Spider, So What?”
Fair warning for anyone looking to watch:
Spoiler
its only season started out really good, then seemed to run out of budget near the end
Exactly what I was going to say. Mess of an adaptation with the only saving grace being Aoi Yuuki carrying with VA alone. Really raised my already high opinion of her.
Best dub has to go to Kaguya-sama.
Original Audio (Japanese) - There are a lot of series with great voice acting, but the one that always comes to my mind first is the Monogatari Series. The whole cast is outstanding, and it has some very memorable performances (Oikura Sodachi in Owarimonogatari, Sengoku Nadeko in Monogatari Series Second Season)
As for the dub, I have no idea. It’s been years since I watched an English dub
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t care for the English commentator in the Kaguya dub. I like the creativity, but I don’t vibe with it.
I like most of the performances in the dub but the narration style kills it for me.
JP audio: Hibike! Euphonium and Lycoris Recoil.
EN audio: I admittedly don’t listen to EN dubs very often, but I’ve enjoyed the Konosuba dub from the bits I’ve seen.
I really loved cowboy bebop’s original actors. never got into the dub.
runner up - dungeon meshi
best dub - oooh… the big o was always a favorite english cast…
