The Worst Voice Acting You've Ever Heard

To be honest with you, I think FUNimation's version of the GT opening is more unbearable. Step into the Grand Tour. I'll give FUNi some praise: they've certain improved a lot. I think FMA is the best show I've seen them dub. I still am disappointed with the way they handed DBZ (though they did pretty good with the original DB), and I thought they shouldn't have redubbed the first three movies (the original English dubs [dubbed with the Ocean Group VAs] of those movies were the best I've seen from any DB/Z/GT episode or movie dubbed in English). It deserved to be treated better. I think they are doing a better job with One Piece, though, than 4Kids did.

Okay...Wulin Warriors opening.

Good lord that show looks like the love child of Samurai Champloo and Sesame Street.

The only reason they redubbed it is because the Ocean dub was gone already from the episodes and it would make no sense to bring the Ocean dub of the Cell and Buu sagas after so many people had gotten use to the new Funimation voice actors they have now.

I already knew they were going to redub the Saiyan and Freiza sagas from the Ocean dub, so it stands to reason they would redub the first 3 movies. Though I admit, I felt they handled the first 3 movies perfectly which is why I went the extra mile to pick up the rare and discontinued ocean dub 3 movies.

I don't blame Funimation for how they handled DBZ, this kind of thing happens when you pick up a series after another company (Saban) mucks it up. The EXACT same problem happened with Sailor Moon after Dic dropped it and ADV tried to pick up the slack. Its a hard and very troublesome process.

As for the GT opening, I hated it originally at first but truth be told, it grew on me. I kind of liked it and I liked it better knowing it was a contest song and I love the notion of fans actually contributing to DB in a more instrumental manner. But that's just me. As for bad voice acting, that's hard to say.

I've loved nearly all I've heard, the only REALLY bad one I would honestly say is the worst i've ever seen is in the anime Zenki. Its about a demon warrior who gets confined to a chibi/midget form when he's not at full power and though I still like the show a lot, I REALLY can't stand his annoying voice in midget form.

This is just god-awful on so many levels. Either way, I love how Zero goes into Pee-Wee Herman mode when he screams.

WHAT AM I FIGHTING FORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUH

What can I say, Capcom sure loves to have it's protagonists scream ridiculously in anguish over the body of their fallen lovers.

I freaking love that clip of MMX4! X4 was where the series peaked (in my opinion) and had great music, animation and action. What could make all that even better? Why, a heaping slice of cheesy voice acting. I've always been partial to Double's "You're going to get hurt, X!"

Here's one of the ones that really horrifies me, especially due to the failure to accurately portray the personality of the characters and....just how pathetic the skills of the voice actors are. I present to you Chaos Wars:

Luigi is not amused!

Seriously, the voice acting sounded like two monotone teenagers.

Here's Hotel Mario with link below.

There have been people who hate the current Pokemon USA voice cast for the series and want the 4K!DS cast back. I've gotten used to them personally, and they have done a respectible job.
