I caught all three of the Japanese dubs before CN removed them from YouTube, and honestly I wasn't very impressed with the dubbing for Bloo or Cheese. The others (Mac, Wilt, Ed, Coco, Herriman, Frankie) were all spot on and likable, but Bloo?! He's the main character! Why wasn't more care taken to select an appropriate voice actor? Sure Sasuke's VA is popular and he's done a lot of main characters well, but pinching his nose and screaming out lines for Bloo isn't going to cut it. >>; Bloo totally lost all his appeal and charm in the show. (Hearing him sing in the dubbed Sweet Stench of Success... urgh)
I really liked Mac''s voice actor on the other hand. It's almost as if Sean was speaking Japanese. XD;
And Cheese omg I don't know what happened to him, but he was heck annoying in the dub. O-o; And Goo kind of lost all her character quirkiness in the dub too, I think mainly because the Japanese already speak damn fast anyway, so when her lines got translated it wasn't that big a difference when you heard it.
Sigh, ah well. English for me, lol.
