Does Naruto have one of the worst dubs besides 4kids?

[Deadmed]

I realize nothing is worse than 4kids, but the Naruto/shippuden dub tries to do its best to ruin the show it seems like. Naruto has some of the best Japanese voice acting in anime but the dub is just cringeworthy 99% of the time.

I was excited to see Shippuden come to Adult Swim's Toonami, but I found myself unable to watch it as I wasn't enjoying hearing the lines butchered by cheesy lifeless unnatural voice acting. Naruto's voice is so awful, it's a shame they couldn't have gotten a less annoying voice actor, it's like nails on a chalkboard. They should have got the guy who does Edward Elric, I always thought the Fullmetal Alchemist dub was a dub done right, especially the 2011 version.

Sasuke's voice is good, Kabuto's voice is ok, but all the others are terrible and fail to replicate the quality of the Japanese VAs.

That isn't to say the voice actors have no talent whatsoever, it could just be viz's awkward script, or lowsey voice coaching, either way it completely ruins the show entirely.

Ocean's dub and 4 kids are by far the worst. Some characters in Naruto actually have decent dub actors like sasukes and pain, but some are flat out terrible and annoying like Naruto's and sakura's.

Naruto 1 dub is actually good! Shippuden is dog shit in dub :| DBZ is the only show where dub >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sub

I like the english voice of Kakashi tho.
But yeah, the dub is really not good. If you want to see something that is REALLY bad, watch the german dub of Naruto xD

Daaaamn, that is making me cringe
And in general the only anime that I liked more dubbed than subbed were Dragon ball Z and Yu Gi Oh

Don't know anything about 4kids dubs but yeah Naruto dub sucks balls. Everyone tries so hard to sound cool and important that they end up sounding super unnatural. I also hate the way they pronounce "sharingan." Seriously check it out, I cringe so hard every time they say it!

Monster is one as well. Death Note and Code Geass are good both sub and dub.

OT: Naruto part 1 was not bad in dub. HAven't watched Shippuden dubbed.

Sasuke's, Hitachi's, Kakashi's, Jiraiya and probably Tsunade's voices I like from the dub.
