+1 Probably biased because its still my favorite anime. The english voice overs arent that bad either imo.

One of the few series I enjoyed with a good english dub was Ranma 1/2.
Comment has been collapsed.
A really old one, but I really liked Goldenboy since the dub made it even funnier!

I also enjoyed the dubbed versions of sankrea and mysterious girlfriend X,so there's that.

Yes all the above, especially Golden Boy. Also Aldnoah.Zero

I personally never enjoyed any kind of dubs
Yes any kind of dubs, like how they dub an english video game to italian, spanish, chinese or even japanese.. It's kinda weird
But if you really need some good dubs, people say Death Note, Trigun and Cowboy Bebop
Anime with Good Dub

Ghost Stories. Basically the anime in its Japanese form was extremely poorly received, resulting in the dub being completely redone into a silly mess.

Heh, I mentioned Ghost Stories in my post, too.
Here it is up on youtube since the DVD and ADV in its entirety are out of print: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGVKsLeXvkMCQXRsLOScHMt_Bh4Nv_MZc

Older ones: El Hazard, Burn Up Excess, Ninja Nonsense, Sabre Marionette J, Photon
Newer ones: Baka & Test, Yamada's First Time, the Devil is a Part-Timer, No Game No Life, 3 Leaves 3 Colors, Full Metal Panic & Full Metal Panic Fumoffu, Squad Girl Season 1 (Season 2 hasn't been dubbed yet and I don't think it will be sadly, because Media Blasters is Media Blasters and Media Blasters is awful)
Ninja Nonsense is available from the dubbing company in its entirety on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ0FiXpH0KM
Toradora, which I agree was also a great dub, can be seen (at least the first 5 episodes I believe) on crunchyroll.com. Past that, you need a premium account to watch the rest (which is totally feasible in the 14 day free trial). The dub was so good I signed up right away to finish it.
Bonus pick: ADV's Ghost Stories dub. This one has a story - Ghost Stories was a fairly average anime that never took off in Japan so the creators just told ADV they can do whatever they want with the dub. So ADV filled their recording studio with their best voice actors at the time and had this improv their own gag dub adding in South Park-style humor. It's definitely an Adult Swim-type release and it's not available in stores anymore, but someone thankfully backed it up on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGVKsLeXvkMCQXRsLOScHMt_Bh4Nv_MZc

Another thing I can't recommend enough: funimation.com has an app and Roku Channel. For 7.99 a month, I believe, you get access to not only their entire back catalog of dubs AND subs, but also simulcast subs AND simul-dubs (which usually come out about 2 weeks after the episode, which is an amazing turn around).
The account comes with a free trial and Funimation includes great shows like Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Hellsing, Soul Eater, and countless others and it's fun to find new anime that's being aired THIS season in dub format. During the spring season I was watching 3 Leaves 3 Colors along with And You Thought There Never Was A Girl Online subtitled as they aired in Japan and coming back to re-watch them dubbed. Made good shows greater!!
Anime Channel has one, too, but Sentai doesn't dub as much. It still has some great dubs on it from recent years like No Game No Life, Mysterious Girlfriend X, Dog x Scissors, and others, though, and they simulcast subs of new anime, too, though I believe their simulcast subs can be seen on Hulu.
So definitely recommend both, but Funimation more than AN:

Princess Tutu and Gankutsuou were pretty good. Gankutsuou's a little inconsistent with its French, though.

why would I? if anything I'm glad I was born in a non-english speaking country so I've gotten used to reading subs ever since I actually learned how to read. I have tons of respect for voice actors (there are a few games whose english voices I actually prefer over original japanese ones) but casting decisions are usually terrible, and I'm not sure if they even bother actually directing the actors.
The quality in dubbing is so different because Japan actually gives a shit about the voices they choose. Plus if you know even a little bit of japanese you can understand things you never would have otherwise noticed (mostly jokes that are near impossible to translate). Having access to two different language sources is amazing for analysis because it lets you analyze the translation process in real time, whereas in a dub that would have been lost altogether.
Plus I used to be a fansubber so I'll always recommend subs because I know how fucking hard subbers work for them. (the good ones anyway)

I don't really care if you prefer dubs. I'm just tired of seeing these kind of "sub elitist" comments which doesn't provide any valuable feedback to the thread. OP asked for anime with good dubs, and I don't think that saying that "dubs are always bad" is relevant to the question, nor is it exactly true; the fact that dubs are bad is just your personal opinion (which I totally respect, mind you - as long as your comment is actually insightful and that you have facts/ideas to back up your statement, and not a six words comment which achieves nothing but to strengthen your own opinion on the topic and nothing more).
Just friendly advice. No need to pay me attention, that's totally your choice.

In an accident that I had a long while back, I scratched both my cornea. It's not that I don't like subs, its that due to the accident, even a simply 20 minute period can become taxing on the eyes and I have to stop about the 15 minute mark.

The best I've ever seen is the one in Steins;Gate (as if the anime wasn't already great enough).

Oh fucking hell yeah.
Lelouch: "Okay. So we're all clear on this. The hoverboard is made of licorice. We can punch it if we want to, but only if it's near a swing set. Is that good? Are we good?"
Luffy: "I like it."
Suzaku: "Sounds good."
Zoro: "Can the swing set hover?"

Baccano! has a fantastic English dub. It probably helps that it takes place in America, but yeah, definitely recommend it. I'd recommend watching it anyway, it's a very good anime. <3

Probably not Inuyasha. Drove me absolutely BATTY after having watched the series subtitled! (Kagome is pronounced KAH-go-may, not kah-GO-may!) I only lasted five minutes, then had to turn it off :p
... Not that any of that helps you! lol~

Sean Schemmel is the man Just a shame the animation isn't as good as the VAs though. Dragonball/DBZ are good in terms of VAs unless you like Old Lady Goku but whatever floats I guess.
Another anime with good VA would be Cowboy Bebop but I doubt anybody doesn't know this by now.

You should specify English Dub as all anime is technically Dubbed.
Attack on Titan - Seriously, this was better than I expected it to be.
Gunslinger Girl - Triela. Just, Triela is all the reason one needs.
Macross - Not the Robotech version, there was an excellence\\t Dub by ADV, released in 2006.
Madoka Magica - Do not let the idea it is a Magical Girl Genre fool you.
Parasyte: The Maxim - Worth looking into. Manga is better but still worth the watch.
Steins;Gate - Not very long, but worth it.
Spice and Wolf - Has two seasons.
Sword Art Online - First season plot is better than the rest, but the dub for both is great.

If you watch Gunslinger, I recommend finding a SD/low res version of the second season, because it has a huge art quality drop and it's better if you can't see the flash tier art.

Good American anime dub is by nature an oxymoron. It start at Americans—for some reasons beyond me—genetically being incapable of doing a translation, they always do "adaptations". Which include complete paragraph rewrites (to the point where a story may switch genre) and insertions (usually in the form of internal monologues or narrations that were never present in the original). And not just in anime, in any piece of media they import.

I love the voices and actors of subs but it really puts a strain on my eyes reading the text all the time. Anyone know some great anime dubs out there that are long? I wished that D-Gray Man had been fully dubbed Q.Q
