What's your favorite 4Kids anime dub? I really liked Sonic X and Kirby! RBaY dubs. Sounded so clean are probably some of the best voices for those characters.
 
Maybe it's because I grew up watching them but I love Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh (the original).

Many hate Ashs' voice but it doesn't both me, I really loved James's voice it was different and I liked it.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Everyone sounded natural (even Joey despite his Brooklyn accent and he was in Japan). I think Joey was the best though even Tristin even though they changed the voice actor in the middle of the series :D

Youngster Joey wants to duel confirmed. I also have to agree that James' voice made me giggle everytime I heard it

Ha, to bad Rich Boy Kiaba is the challenger. :sneaky:

Especially when James laughed, that was the best!
 
My favorite 4Kids anime dub is Pokémon, because I liked the classic voice of Ash, which somehow feels unique to me, and I'm also digging on that motto of Team Rocket, which can be rhyming at some point (Meeeowth, that's right!) And I think 4Kids' dub of Kirby: Right Back At Ya (or Hoshi no Kirby, as I know it) was not bad either.
 
In terms of shows, Kirby in my opinion is pretty mediocre to okay. The problem with the anime to me is that it is rather generic, a bit boring, some episodes really annoy me in terms of plots and concepts (some being rehashed). The copy abilities were also extremely disappointing in the anime. While some abilities such as Paint, Mike, Hammer, Mirror, and Tornado had decent uses, other abilities such as Sword, Fighter, Cutter, and Ninja either didn't have enough screen time, or they did not use any of the cool moves from the games.
 
In terms of 4Kids dubbing, here are my thoughts:
Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Okay dub

Most voice acting is very good, some are just obnoxious and cringeworthy.
The music is great at first, but gets extremely repetitive after 20 episodes.
Editing, not bad, some scenes were removed due to time constraints. some episodes like Kirby Takes the Cake have no edits at all! Some edits were just baffling though, in Dedede's Monsterpiece, they literally thought it was a good idea to censor national landmarks, such as the Mona Lisa!!
The show in general, I'm pretty dang mixed towards the anime, even in Japanese it is not very good. Some episodes such as Cartoon Bufoon, The Kirby Quiz, The Kirby Derby, A Princess in Dis-Dress, Scare Tactics, and A Novel Approach are good! Other episodes such as Junk Jam, Something to Sneeze At, Masher 2.0, A Spice Oddysey, Prediction Predicament, Sheepwrecked, and One Crazy Knight are just so stupid!! The sow in my opinion is just a guilty pleasure. The story is stupid, the characters are fun but also one dimensional, it's boring, very annoying at times, many episodes were just pointless, it's a bit repetitive, stale at times, and just overstays its welcome a bit. One of my favorite 4Kids Dub, but still not anything special either.
 
my favorite 4kids anime dub is dragon ball z kai and yu gi oh. mostly because i'm a tomboy and two i love the suspense and action pack parts in the anime. who wouldn't want to see some action once in a while. even though i like both anime dub there is romance for krillin + android 18 and yugi + tea aww and lol. i know krillin and android 18 got together but why couldn't the producers do it with yugi and tea making them shy to admit their feelings for each other that is what i hate the most.

I'm sorry but 4kids dubbing in my opinion are just the worst. But my ' favourite ' would probably be Pokemon due to it being one of the most mediocre animes out there. And yes, sometimes dubs give the characters great voices and great lines but I'm really not a massive fan of it.
