* ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'': Despite its heavy edits on TV broadcasting, especially on Kids WB, most of the English voice acting is rather well done. Creator/BradSwaile as Lan Hikari managed to fit his personality decently. Creator/AndrewFrancis as [=MegaMan.EXE=] is [[PunnyName Mega-Awesome!]] The rest of the English cast of Creator/TheOceanGroup did surprisingly well with the dialogue as well despite a few cliched lines and even some cringe worthy puns. In ''NT Warrior Axess'', however, the English voice acting improved with most of its dialogue close to the Japanese Version, much less edits/censorship, and the voices themselves. It's like watching an English Dub of Gundam Seed and it's odd since both anime were dubbed in 2004.
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', with its dub done by Creator/TheOceanGroup is exceptionally well-dubbed. The Gundam Meisters sound not too different from their Japanese voices. Creator/BradSwaile nails Setsuna's voice perfectly, Creator/SamuelVincent does Tieria pretty well, and Lockon and Allelujah are also quite well-voiced. On the other side, we have Creator/TrevorDevall, who makes Patrick actually not sound like a complete idiot, Graham Aker's voice (done by Creator/PaulDobson) sounds almost identical to his Japanese voice, the personalities of every single character remains intact, or in some cases actually get improved a bit.

He's ''damned'' good, outhamming the original dub by far, while still keeping the general feel of the character. Then again, ''Gundam'' in general gets pretty well dubbed.
* Although it has more than its fair share of haters, the dub for ''Manga/{{InuYasha}}'' is very well done… at least from about Season 3 onward. Praise especially goes to the lead actors: Creator/RichardIanCox (Inuyasha), Moneca Stori (Kagome), Creator/KirbyMorrow (Miroku), and Creator/KellySheridan (Sango), all of whom nail their characters' personalities and quirks right out of the gate and just get better as the series drags on. In fact, most of the actors do a great job voicing their characters, and the few who don't are easily overlooked most of the time.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''[='=]s English dub was polarizing when it came out, and still is to some extent, but has risen as a very nostalgic production full of memorable performances, most notably from its supporting characters voiced by Willow Johnson, Myriam Sirois, Creator/PaulDobson, Creator/DavidKaye, Angela Costain, Creator/CathyWeseluck, and the late Robert O. Smith. The most polarizing aspect of the dub is the voice of boy-type Ranma himself, who was voiced by Sarah Strange for the first 3 TV seasons, both movies, and all 12 original [=OVAs=] with Creator/RichardIanCox taking over the role for the last 4 seasons of the TV show. Both have their fans, and neither voice has been declared a clear winner in that debate, which still continues to this day. The dub's writers also understood the show's weird humor, and though it could be considered campy, they were able to put their unique own spin on the material after a while.
* ''Anime/RoninWarriors'' was known for being enjoyable without taking itself too seriously, from Mina E. Mina's ghostly Talpa to Paul Dobson's menacing ham as Anubis, not to mention the heroes having funny, charming dialogue. The script itself avoided a {{Macekre}}, with a whole lot of SnarkToSnarkCombat being added while the surprisingly dark content for the time remained largely untouched, from the massacre of the Ancient's clan to showing on-screen deaths.
* The Ocean dub of the first three ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' films is excellent, with incredibly accurate scripts, the original Japanese music, and some amazing acting, especially from Peter Kelamis as Goku, whose screams in these films sometimes come eerily close to sounding like Creator/MasakoNozawa.
* ''Anime/ZoidsNewCentury'' has a very solid dub, especially considering that it's an Ocean Group dub from 2001. The voice acting is well done and it still manages to hold up today. Some would say that ''Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury'' and ''Anime/ZoidsFuzors'' are examples as well.

Blue Water is Ocean's budget sister studio, which often uses non-union voice actors. Similar to Sentai, their dubs tend to be hit or miss due to their lower budget, but quite a few times, they tend to hit. Some of their voice actors have even been cast in the main studio's dubs!
* ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'''s dub is yet another example of a localized dub done right. Sure, [[DubNameChange the characters' names are Westernized]], and takoyaki are called "donuts", but the overall spirit of the show is kept, thanks to minimal censorship that doesn't interfere with the plot and excellent ADR direction. Rocio Barahona and Michelle Molineux have perfect chemistry together as Nagisa and Honoka (or Natalie and Hannah in this dub), and the supporting cast all give excellent performances. Due to licensing issues, [[NoExportForYou this dub has never been legally available in the United States]], but many girls growing up in Canada and the UK in the late 2000s and early 2010s remember it fondly. Definitely one of, if not the best Blue Water dubs.
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''
** ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' manages to keep all the [[WorldOfHam ham]] ([[LargeHam if not adding more of it]]) of the original, something not many dubs can boast. All of the soundtrack was kept intact, as well.
** ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' has an excellent English dub. Pretty much all the dialog was changed to sound more natural in English without anything being lost. Jonathan Lachlan-Stewart as Kamille is brilliant, which helps the WarIsHell theme hit home. Jonathan Love as Scirocco nails down what kind of man he is as soon as he appears, and can ham up a room faster than Lelouch, as well as gaining a harem of women to fight for his ideals. Though the entire cast was good, Tom Edwards' performance of Char/Quattro takes the cake.[[note]] It's even funnier when you realize the usual Gundam dub cast was on strike at the time, so a new VA lineup was brought in. Zeta to this day STILL has the best dub in Gundam.[[/note]] Another gem gained in the English translation is MauveShirt Apolly Bay now has a hilariously clueless voice, which helps the few moments he has something to say be a lot funnier, which isn't to say he can't sound epic or sad well either, he can do that too.
