Some hardcore fans will insist that subbing is the only way to go. The worst of them will mock dub fans for being "illiterate" or "unrefined" and won't seem to accept that people have different opinions.

But every once in a while some game or anime will come along that makes these haters cringe. The dub cast is brilliant. Their voices fit the characters to a T. Maybe the original language had some astonishingly cringe-worthy moments of Gratuitous English. Even the fact that the dubbers changed some of the jokes, and perhaps even a personality or two, doesn't change the fact that it just shines. Sometimes the dub is just good. This unfortunately does not always stop these haters from bashing everything related to the dub.

The most famous example is the English dub of Cowboy Bebop, which is equally liked and even considered to be better than the original by series creator Shinichiro Watanabe. Another notable one is the English dub of El-Hazard, which is even stated by the creators to be the definitive voice cast. And every dub that Disney has done for Studio Ghibli is approved by Hayao Miyazaki himself. Of course, even with these dubs, your opinion may always vary, thus examples are to be signed and state your personal opinion.

The ultimate contrast of Macekre. Compare Woolseyism, which those dubs may sometimes contain.

Notes

Just because a series is listed here does not necessarily mean the the dub is superior to the original, just that it is very good in its own right.
Some people talk about "the dub" when they are referring to the English dubs. Please, avoid that.
Try to include links to examples. They make this list a lot better.
While we do have a section for "Tropers", please try to list the dubs under their language with no troper name whatsoever. That makes this section a lot tidier and easier to read.
