Dub killed ou improved the humor?

Name animes that toi feel the English version either ruined ou improved the comedy.

Improved:

*Excel Saga: I've seen this in 3 languages; they're all equally amusing. But Excel talks so f**king fast that the subtitles can barely keep up with her & she says so much that toi can only either read ou watch, so it's best to watch it in your own language.

*Photon: The Idiot Adventures: the dub was so bad that it was awesome. Yes, that can happen.

*Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman: I don't know if the jokes just didn't translate well ou not, but the Japanese language version just wasn't funny.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Murdered:

*Lost Universe: Watch "Toilet Fears" in both languages & tell me it isn't funnier in Japanese.

*Juubei-Chan: The terrible choice in voice actors contributed to this.

~I'm afraid to even try Gintama ou lièvre + Guu in English, because the fansubs had me in stitches & the voices were perfect.

Yeah I heard Gintoki's English voice actor, his pretty good but since Gintoki's (Japanese version) has just a distinctive voice it's hard to get involved in the anime.

Not only it makes a bit plus sense since the animé is suppose to be taking in England, but it sounds a bit funnier when things happen.

improved ou at least stayed about the same:

Fullmetal Alchemist & Brotherhood
Angel Beats
Hetalia
Trigun
Baccano!
Durarara!!
One Piece
Hellsing Ultimate Ova's (the ones that have actually been translated are pretty good)
Nabari no Ou (when there was humor)

Ruined ou was just better in Japanese:

Black Butler
Bleach, do like the english version, most of the voice actors were spot on to the japanese talent but in japanese other characters were less annoying plus likable ou plus menacing same with.....
Naruto

with most animé its, either or, unless its a long running series. I will usually try the english version 1st just cause i feel like i might miss something either in the translation ou the animé when watching subs

Improved: Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne the translation for a lot of the jokes was better and less awkward. It's like the subtitles were too literal in translation so didn't make any sense.

Ga-Rei: Zero (except for episode 12) Hmm, well I wouldn't say they fully improved it because thinking back Funimation did actually screw up some of the translations for that show. They projected the wrong feelings for certain situations. But there are a few parts that did improve/make things funnier.

Murdered: K-ON! like seriously it's pitiful from BOTH Animax AND Bondai

Panty & stockage, empoissonnement with Garterbelt the voices just weren't made for that type of art style. I know they can't have minors doing it but Stocking's voice was too mature for her. Panty's voice was actually good for her but her Japanese voice actress had such a unique voice it's hard to compete with no matter what XD Plus their accents make swearing sound funnier. And because there's so much cussing in the montrer listening to the censored version is just "BEEP" the whole time. Though there is an uncensored version but meh....

Just an afterthought but I noticed a lot of people consider the dubs funnier and I think (for those of us that don't really know Japanese anyways) it's the fact that Japon has their own jokes just like any other country has their own so us Westerners might not get a joke that Japanese people would. toi know what I mean? ou sometimes a familiar projection of words in one's own language make things funnier. But of course some shows are just not that great in Japanese even if toi do speak it. Just a thought...

Better in English dub:

Hetalia ♥ The fact FUNimation used voice actors to act in a countries accent made the montrer hilarious! FUNimation's English dub of Hetalia has plus humor to it as well.

Examples:

Sub: "I say we hit Italy first cause he's weak!"
Dub: "I say we hit Italy first cause they can't drive and their usually drunk!"

Sub: "I hate winter so much!"
Dub: Winter can suck on my jungle bells!"
__________________________________________

As for an animé dub that killed the humor,

Panty and stockage, empoissonnement With Garterbelt ♥

In the first 20 secondes of the dub I noticed there was already a part that was cut out but kept in the sub. I don't know if that's a FUNimtaion thing ou not but that scene didn't deserve to be cut. Considering the fact that scene wasn't really inappropriate imagine what other scene's would be cut out! (Because Panty & stockage, empoissonnement is extremely inappropriate xD)

As for the voices, I don't think dub worked for this series.

I enjoyed in the sub how both the girls would swear in English even though they're Japanese!

And the voices, just, I'm not sure... I just didn't feel the joy of watching it in dub rather then sub.

The humor? I did find that special "FUNimation touch" to their episodes.
But I still found the sub to be better in other ways.

Also, Hearing a "BEEP" every few minutes didn't make the animé better...

The only animé that I prefer dub of is Hetalia, which shows their accents plus than in sub :) So, I think Hetalia's dub is an improvement.

In dub, I found Hetalia and Black Lagoon to be a hell of a lot plus entertaining, but most others just kill it for me, Ouran Highschool Host Club was the only other tolerable one, and even so I preferred the sub.

Amazing shows like Clannad, Angel Beats, and Elfen Lied I found to be completely ruined par the dubs.

I don't really watch subs only when I have too because for either they haven't dubbed the rest ou they stopped dubbing them. For me I think the Dubs improve the humor like for Baka and Test and Ouran I thought the comedy was better in the dubs than the subs , to me the dubs make it funnier than it's supposed to be and for a montrer like Black Butler I think it's better with the British accents than the Japanese voices. And for a montrer like FMA:Brotherhood I would prefer Ed's voice to sound plus like a man than a woman
