Gundam 00 english dubbing

Well I just finished Season 1 of Gundam 00 and i compared the last episode English dubbing and Japanese dub and to be honest i found the English dub very satisfying, even better than the Japanese dub. It's probably mostly due to Setsuna's Voice actor Brad Swaile(who also Voiced Lite in Death Note.) When i heard it was him voicing Gundam 00's main character i was really curious about it and he did not disappoint. His ending speech in season 1 of Gundam 00 was beyond good and when i watched the Japanese dub i was just disappointed. Brad Swaile is nao on my list of top anime voice actors up there with Johnny Yong Bosch(mostly known as the 2nd black ranger in Power Rangers) he was the voice actor for Ichigo(bleach), Lelouch(Code Geass), Nero(Devil May Cry 4), and Vash(Trigun). Yes i have a list of well known voice actors.

Most anime junkies for one reason or another are really anal about the Japanese Dub vs. English dub and to be honest i prefer English dub Majority of the time (just so i dont have to end up rewinding just to know what they said(because i like to eat when i watch anime and its a little bit harder to concentrate when I'm maneuvering from a bag of chips to the bowl of dip.) The only time I would rather die than watch English dub would be when concerning anything dubbed by 4Kids(except Yu Gi Oh Ehl Oh Ehl) They just tend to ruin anything they dub beyond recognition. The thing that pisses me off(aside from going out of their way to remove any content that is somewhat violent or onscene in any way) is they're habit of Americanizing anything they dub. Think of it this way; if your name was Naruto in Japan it would probably end up something like Nathan by the time 4Kids finished dubbing your anime -_-

All in all the Dubbing for 00 went incredibly, especially entertaining to me was Setsuna's speech(while fighting) Brad Swaile made it really memorable for me. Plus Gundam 00 was just really good on it's own. I'd say it set's itself apart from all other Gundam series' like Gundam Wing and SEED. Where SEED's action scenes were incredibly flashy(too flashy for my taste) and Wings' was a bit more believable but not quite as satisfying(not talking about Endless Waltz tho.) Gundam 00 to me was a perfect blend of those 2 styles. Well more on that later after i start Season 2
