His dubbed voice doesn't suit him at all.

That's why I only watch anime with subs only, Japanese voice actors give life and credibility to the character, when its dubbed, the voices don't usually match the characters.

How can you hate the Franky english dub VA? He's better than the japanese one, you're just not use to it...

Funimation Franky isn't bad rather that's what I thought he would sound like when the manga first introduced him.

This the funimation dubs I've seen sound about right for the size of the character, honestly the Japanese voice grew on me but judging his appearance I expected a deeper voice.

Here's a clip of him that sounds ok.

Omg that sounds Terrible, not only Franky but all 3 of them, just sounds so fake

But in OP there is no way a dub is gonna beat the japanese VAs, they are just amazing, The Japanese Voice actors complete the characters, eveyone in english just sounds like a gohan with a deeper voice, they try to do it too childish and try to emphasize the words that would sound "cool" to little kids, the Japanese VAs bring distinction to each character ...

Not to mention Franky's character was more or less made for the Japanese VA, I mean how can you replace that

I cant stand any of their voices.
One reason I don't want dubbed stuff.
The accents just sound ridiculous for the characters.

Zoro's voice is awesomely done by Christopher sabat.

Meant dubbed :O

And I still cant stand it. Especially after watching subbed for all these years American accents coming out of the characters mouths looks awful compared to the subbed imo.
