Black Lagoon's dub is p. much just non-stop profanity and straight-to-video action movie cliches so in other words basically perfect

What was the problem with King Gainer's subs? I own the entire show on DVD and I never had trouble following them. Show has a nice, solid dub--nothing outstanding, but no glaring shortcomings either. Also manages the nice trick of casting the spunky kid tagalong so she wasn't horribly grating. That's rare.

Not all the old dubs were bad, though, or even 'good for the time.' The original El Hazard OAV is an example where it's arguably better than the original. (In fairness, this is due largely to Jinnai's English voice actor selling the hell out of his role.) Also preferable because of the badly mistimed subtitles on the DVD release. Still annoyed about that.
