I huge Gundam fan    iv seen some of them in Japanese  and then saw them in English i enjoy the show much more when i don't have to read sub title even if the dubbing is bad i get used to it.  to each there own i guess.  and for  Toonami its been about 3 years since i watch it.     im sure it will be missed
FROM FS1
When the destroyers came for us, we attacked. Never had we been defeated. They were like the others: strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others: They did not die. We made our first retreat. We could forego one system. We left it to the destroyers and went elsewhere. But they followed. They hunted us. They followed us when we retreated, discovered where we lived.
For a long time we did not know why they chased us. They were no ordinary enemy. They did not seek our territory, our technology, our resources.
Now we know our crime was sin.

I'll be honest, I thought it was canceled YEARS ago.

Watch the Death Note dub that Adult Swim has, then watch it subbed. Aside from getting better (suited) voices, you get dialogue that doesn't sound like it was churned out by middle-school students.  ;)

Death note should be a friggin' novel, no voices will ever change that.

And in any case, I find that almost without exception, Japanese voices suck (dear god, the pitch people, the friggin' pitch!), and subbing it annoys the suspension of disbelief, something most shows have difficulty recovering from when animated.

A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

To be honest, I've found dubbs to be generally worse on the ears than originals. Of course, the general opinion on Odex's subs are pretty obvious.

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

I think my preference depends on how well the dub was done.

The Dubs for Evangelion and Gundam wing are far superior to the originals Chrono Crusade, DNAngel and Full Metal Panic are among the most superb. Tenchi Muyo OVA was also very good.

The oooold ADV dub for Street Fighter IIV (found on the old VHS tapes) was pretty bad, but some of the actors did good job.

The absolute worst dub has to be Sonic the Movie.  No Jaleel White or Ryan Drummond as sonic, No Corey Bringas as Tails, No Scott Dreier as Knuckles and - worst of all - no Long John Baldry, Jim Cummings or Deem Bristow as Dr Robotnik...Just complete crap...Though i liked the attitude that kid gave tails in the move...

Now i do admit that sometimes jokes get lost in translation.

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

 
I've only ever seen one dub that I thought was equal to (and actually quite a bit better than) the original.  That would have to be Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

I only knew a bit about Toonami through Cartoon Network, but I usually get my anime stuff independently.
