Best/worst dub?
yt1DER:
Not sure about the worst, but I know InuYasha had some pretty talented voice actors (haven't watched many English dubs though)...

Best would be 'Ghost in the Shell: series' they seem to fit nicely.
I'd have to also agree on the worst as naruto as I recall seeing it on TV once and it was the episode when they were taking their exams or something and he CONSTANTLY kept repeating 'believe it' it was so annoying, but I'm sure there are many awful ones out there, but just can't recall it at the moment.
(on a random note, it also makes me feel bad for the english voice actors, it just can't really be done in most cases like silly comedies where japanese voices and enthusiasm make it sound great and in english it just seems weird.)

I do not think there is a worse dub (by dub, I mean voice acting, translation and editing) then Dragonball Z.
It is like taking bleach, and dumbing it down for 10 year old kids. I'm not trying to be a fanboy and I'm not exaggerating. But that is exactly what they did. Bleach is the Dragonball of the 00's, but thankfully Viz licensed it instead of funimation.
If you don't believe me, go ahead and watch dragonball z subbed. Funi butchered it.

That's less the dub than it is the sheer editing of the show in general. Personally though, Goku being voiced by the same women regardless of his age sounds incredibly out of place. The content of the English Dub is often severely edited, but at least the voice makes more sense.
On an unrelated note while confirming that Goku sounds like a little girl in DBZ, I discovered that Frieza has the same voice actor as Mayuri Kurotsuchi in Bleach.

I've only seen a handful of dubs but best one IMO was Ruroni Kenshin and worst one was One Piece (one by 4Kids; dunno about Funi version).
