Hot dog bun! Not too Young!
Oldy and moldy! History! Mystery!
I'm pretty much a Megumi Hayashibara fanboy, and I still say the English dubs for Bebop worked better. Beau Billingslea as Jet rocked the world with how suited he was for that role. Steve Blum...forget about it. I know Wendee Lee is in fucking everything, but she's good, dammit, and the voice and the attitude works. Of course I will mention Melissa Fahn who just brought Ed right to life. She was just as on target with Ninamori in FLCL. Don't get me wrong, I love the Japanese version, but most of the actors cast there were part of a hits parade it seemed. You know big names, plus a newcomer to get that debutante feel. The American dub really did kick some ass.
For other Dubs that at the very least lived up to the original voice work I say Outlaw Star, Full Metal Alchemist, Lain, Ranma 1/2, Paranoia Agent and, yes, Neon Genesis Evangelion (Despite some hits and misses).

Is the poll question about the quality of the dub in general, or about the dub versus the original Japanese? I've never watched Bebop in Japanese, so if it's the latter I'm not qualified to answer. Just Diva's, and not Saya's? 'Cause they're both voiced by Kari Wahlgren. Then she should have chosen a better voice for Diva, 'cause Saya's just fine. Diva sounds like a standard Villianess, which is very hard to listen to after the Japanese version, where she sounds like a whimsical child.
Ah, so your complaint is about the actual voice acting, not about the voice actress. That makes more sense then. So uh, anime industry. You going to make a sequal to Outlaw Star? I needs my sci-fi anime fix. How long have we been waiting for that? Don't hold your breath; it'll make you blue. And when the english dub is of a high quality, being freed from reading subtitles lets you take in the visuals more completely. This is one of the main reasons that I prefer watching dubs. I don't really mind reading subtitles while watching live-action films, but with animation I just find it too distracting. I feel like I'm missing too much.
