I'm not a fan of the dub for Initial D. What is even worse than the dub for the series is the fact that they substituted all the eurotrance for this rock music that didn't really seem to fit with the scene. Don't get me wrong, I love rock music, it just didn't work in Initial D.

Hell yes! It was so flat and boring I almost fell asleep while watching it.

From what I recall of the first .hack//LIMINALITY disk (the only one I saw) the acting was pretty...not bad, but just off throughout.

Reign the Conquerer of course, had sucky VAs, among other things (read: everything).

I know there are some more but these three series are all I can think of at the moment.

Oh yeah, and I get sick of the "Believe it!" that Naruto always says. Was that in the original.. did he always repeat a gay line like that? Sheesh that's annoying to hear the voice actor say in the english version.. it's like "Believe it!" and I'm like "ummm.... no." lol

I believe that line was "Dattebayo" or something. "Believe it" was probably the closest "translation" they could get.

It takes a lot for a dub to please me (subs 4 life), so I can list a whole ton of bad dubs, but when it comes down to the downright BAAAAD, a few come to mind:
Synch Point's Leave it to Piyoko. OMFG, they com pletely botched up EVERYBODY in that show (Piyoko herself, not bad, oddly)
Synch Point's Original Di Gi Charat. There must be a curse surrounding Di Gi Charat (Though ADV's Panyo Panyo wasn't bad)
Ungh, *shudder*, And if you've heard the trailers for the upcoming Di Gi Charat Nyo by Bandai, you know that one's going to be horrid.
These kinda take the cake right now (I'm trying to think through all them animes...) Though Jean's voice in Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water was downright awful. And Groder's voice ROLW:COTHK...
If we can spout games: Shenmue....

Excel Saga. The voices are horrible, but I think they're intentionally like that to add to the crazy ass randomness that the show is all about.

Another would be One Piece....such horrible dubbing.....*shudders*

There are no bad dubs. All dubs are awesome, and because of those dubs, I know about alot of great voice actors.

maybe not the WORST dubs ever, but a couple of the worst I've witnessed so far:

Escaflowne and Orphen

Hitomi and Merle's VA's in Escaflowne are among the most annoying I've ever heard, and Orphen, while the voices themselves aren't TOO bad, the translations are GOD AWFUL
