While reading through the retardation that is YouAreAwesome's latest thread (I cannot honestly say I have ever seen anyone gay up their own thread with only the assistance of those who share their opinions), I would like to clear up a very much incorrect sweeping generalization that was made in it.
Not everyone here hates dubs, and not all dubs are bad. FLCL is the immediate obvious example because it's more or less required viewing for any self-respecting anime fan. Other worthwhile dubs are Outlaw Star and Big O.
To add a personal touch, Galaxy Angel is one of the best dubs I have ever seen, with great voice acting all around (one of the few shows where the under-18 characters actually sound like they're under 18) and a supreme lack in changing content. They even made the VAs sing the Grand Cross insert song in Season 2 (albeit in English) instead of just making up something random and out of place. The only thing it suffers from is the occasional lapse in directing, and those instances are few and far between enough that they're ignorable.
Dubs do not directly equate to crappy quality. While it's true that many of them are (hi there One Piece), don't take the state of the majority and generalize to everything, because you'll deny yourself plenty of gems.
