I mean the rest can be categorised into some tiers as well but I figure you don't want to read that list when you know that these three things are the best.

Yeah, I'm not sure why but sometimes the Japanese voice actors can be hypnotic in ways that I haven't quite heard in dubs. Like I could listen to Nino from ACCA or Yukino from Oregairu reciting economic statistics and I'd probably enjoy it. Might it just be the difference in talent levels? Are dub voice actors decently paid?

I'm betting it's a mixture of VA talent/direction quality/translation quality combined with the actual anime being worth a drat that makes dubs go from oh boy->alright->yeah baby. I mother fuckin hate generic english dub crew, whoever they are. I just know em by voice.

a lot of the dubs people are listing as good itt just copy the voice direction from the original performance. so i mean, it's not like you'd necessarily get an inferior experience. but at that point it kinda makes me question what worth the dub has, as a person who is not incapable of reading subtitles.

This is why Oedo is the best dub, and not just because of the funy swears, it's a lot funnier and more human than the fairly dry dialogue of the original, and the voice actors really sell it.

I hate to say this but 80% of Anime English Woman voice actors do this weird extra high pitched "anime voice" and it's just grating I mean there are exceptions but they are rare and usually are mixed with others doing the dam voice, I mean the Japanese versions are probably doing the same thing but when you don't understand its easier to just kinda ignore it.

I believe it came out in Australia on DVD, but not blu ray, and that was the only English western release aside from streaming. There may well have been a French release too but I'm not sure.

edit: also most modern dub vas are okay and jp vaing isn't as good as people like to pretend it is, either. however a lot of dub scripts are pretty bad. see: the funi dragon maid dub scrubbing out like seven instances of implied romance and adding in some weird lines because funimation is run by rick santorum

uh, japan isnt a tonal language, so that's not possible
