Seriously, I've watched G Gundam, Crest/Banner of the Stars, Betterman, and Ayashi no Ceres in its dub format, and I'm very disappointed with their performance. Man, most of the VAs should consider ACTING in their roles instead of just reading off the script and enunciating every single word with no emotion whatsoever. Please tell me there's an anime series where these guys actually do well with the dubbing.

Don't watch Angel Links... Mad.

Oh, and to answer your question, no. There are no good dubs by Blue Water Studios. G Gundam is probably as good as it gets, and it's below average at best.

They did Ceres, eh? I'll have to remember to watch it subbed...

And for G Gundam that's pretty good. The campy acting actually does the show favors.

Zoids: Chaotic Century/Guardian Force managed to amass quite a following when it aired on Cartoon Network. And while I'm not one of them, their dub of Jubei-Chan has its share of fans.

I did like the G-Gundam dub quite a bit though. It had a rocky start, but the acting improved considerably as it went along, especially during the second half when an experienced voice director took over.

Well, I do like some of the voices for G Gundam, but the acting just didn't connect me to the characters as much. It's probably the only dub of theirs I can stand, if that means anything .

Exactly! Half the time, you weren't supposed to take the show seriously. *coughanythingwithSaiSaichicough* Sailor Gundams? And to think that this was the first non-UC Gundam.

Two words why Zoids CC got a following (other than early morning): Flying papaya

Zoids: Chaotic Century by far is their best dub IMO. I think its a very underrated dub(& an underrated anime).



G Gundam I thought was decent, the main problem was the edits to me. Crest of the Stars is their worse, lol. I thought Jubei-Chan's & Betterman's were decent.
