Was the dub really as good as people made it out to be? Or was the ease of access and being shown frequently on TV in the west made it
much more popular over the sub?

Dandy and Bebop Dub > Sub
Samurai Champloo Sub > Dub

it was better than the jap version (by their own admission), and taught the western market that anime wasn't cartoons and could be treated seriously.
It was a legitimately fantastic dub and I can't point to any real problem I had with it.
Liam Murphy
are you sincerely asking, or just trying to start a conversation? because the Cowboy Bebop dub is legendarily good. Not just "anime good", but actual voice talent good.
also:
All of Ghost in the Shell. especially the movie, where the english dub adds more voices and sound effects
Battle Angel Alita. especially any time Gally/Alita is fighting
Samurai Champloo. seriously, it's not even worth watching the japanese dub. there is no advantage, and looking down at the subs distracts from the beautiful animation
any others? I liked Ergo Proxy and Last Exile.

Sup Forums loves to say this but has never posted a source.

I swear I remember seeing the sauce before for it (and in the same vein, Yu Yu Hakusho) but I can't find it. That or I'm experiencing the Mandela Effect.

All of the best anime dubs were by Bandai. Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Big O, Haruhi, Lucky Star, and Outlaw Star for starters.
Samuel Barnes
I didn't mind the dub for the most part except for Spike's VA. His performance wasn't bad, it was just way inferior to the Japanese one who plays Spike way more subdued, which is more in tune with the character itself.
So if I'd never watched the sub I probably wouldn't have complaints about it, the dub is good on its own but inferior to the Japanese.
Connor James
Yeah that's the same thing that happened to me, I was watching it dubbed, turned on the sub out of curiosity and liked the more toned down Spike.
Adrian Thompson
Its mandela effect because the source doesn't exist and that was never said.
Only Toonami faggots say it in the first place.
Christian Powell
Outlaw Star's dub is painfully mediocre even by the standards at its creation. Big O is the only on that I would claim is superior to the sub

I can't remember gook voice people for the life of me.
But kouichi
fuck
I didn't expect a guy that looks like this to be voicing people like kaji or spike

The sub is vastly superior. Spike is fine in English but the rest of the cast is average at best.
Noah Clark
I think the Japanese voice actor for Roger fits him a lot more than the English one.
Austin Parker
Don't talk shit about Wendee Lee's Faye Valentine.
Carter Young
The dub was good if you say all non-bad original Japanese voice acting is good. It wasn't something special, just not shit like a lot of dubs out there.

I don't understand why Sup Forums fags have such a hard on for subs. All Japanese men's voices sound the same, all the women sound like squealing 12yo girls.

Kill yourself. At this point I think Americans get some kind of sadistic pleasure out of that incompetent actress ruining iconic characters.

The dub was good. Most dubs are good.
