Localizations (the best and worst)
#27
If I'm truly invested in an anime, I'll watch it with subs and do nothing but watch it. But if it has a well-produced dub, I'll keep it running while I draw and stuff.

Galaxy Angel was adapted from the sci fi visual novels for the PS2 (and I think PC also?) to a comedy anime for young teens. Then it was dubbed and broadcasted internationally by regional networks of Animax and Bandai. If you want an anime with really professional-sounding english voices and opportunities to learn a little bit about Japanese culture through a humorous and charming medium, Galaxy Angel probably fits the mold perfectly - it's very impressive, considering the "Better Voice Acting Studios for Dubbed Anime Boom" didn't come into play until the mid-2000s. I guess some companies were starting to realize that since more people in the US were watching anime, they should dish out some anime with not-shitty voice acting.

Azumanga Daioh fits just as well. There are definitely a few gems like it from the early-2000s that have great dubs. As for Japanese subs, I wouldn't know...

Here's one that makes me giggle:

Here's one of Nakoruru's victory quotes (or more appropriately: VICTOLY quotes) for Samurai Shodown IV.

...When did Samurai Shodown become Samurai Surfer Dudes? xD
