Think while it was still actively running. Fullmetal alchemist got ranked best dub by a magazine. And sense the majority of the characters are white I'd assume it sounds more natural than Japanese.
They're extremely German-coded.

Speaking of which, Monster's dub might be good? I've not seen it, but that's another one where most everyone isn't Japanese. It's set in Germany and only Tenma, the protagonist, is Japanese.

I know that but English still probably sounds better than Japanese

I just rewatched Yu Yu Hakusho subbed and thats about the only thing I can think of where the dub might be better, but it was clearly a labor of love for the people behind it as they really leaned into localizing it etc.

Most dubs are just cringe. I dont really have time to rewatch full shows, but I will go to YouTube a lot looking for clips of favorite moments to rewatch. 9 times out of 10, I accidentally get the dub, and its always just so fucking bad in comparison to the seiyu.

Are most dubs cringe? Or are most anime cringe?

I watched a video essay on this and since then I'm convinced ever since then no matter what language you're shouting about the power of friendship/etc it's still cringe. Having it in another language just kind of hides the cringe.

Yes dubs used to be pretty atrocious in the 2000s but I think for the most part theyre pretty well done nowadays. Some things just work better listening to in your own language, comedy specifically.

Dragonball's dub has always been great (though it's let down by the script at times), but I don't think it's better than the original. Though as far as soundtrack goes, I generally prefer Bruce Faulconer's since it's permanently tied to many of my favorite iconic moments.

The German dub of Sailor Moon is better than the American dub.

I don't know about the rest of the movie, but Batty's Rap from Ferngully sounds way better in German than English.

Agreed. As much as I dislike the 4Kids censorship, the voice acting in the original DM dub was fantastic. Then again, that "censorship" also gave us the Shadow Realm, which actually sounds much worse than dying and made the show feel more hardcore by complete accident.

The whole "Never Say Die" trope is always hilarious to me. DBZ had a lot of instances of this too.

I remember Vegeta destroying a building and then openly lamenting the fact that since it was Sunday no people were there working -- pulling triple duty of letting us know that "it's okay, nobody actually died", letting us know just how much of a bastard Vegeta is at this point that he's sad he didn't manage to kill anybody, and leaving us with absolute incredulity as to how this alien dude with clearly no regard for humanity is somehow aware of the concept of "weekends" and how some people don't work on those days.
