I wasn't ready to let go of Vnc just yet and started watching Eng Dub...and I have to say it's gold.😭
To me dubs sound weird, especially when I know the anime in sub version. Some dubs simply can't express it on a same level as subs because of cultural difference and then there's the way dubs VAs try to overact certain lines the same way subs VAs do it. The thing is what sound good in japaneese, doesn't necessarily sound good in english.
So, in my experience most dubs aren't good. The most prominent exception of that is (in my opinion) SK8 and Disasterious Life of Saiki K.
And then, there is Vnc dub. And it is just amazing. ❤️
I think it's the mix of the fact that they got such a good cast and the fact that Vnc has lots of western humour (or rather there are situations where western sarcasm fits just right).
Anyway, the dub is really good and I encourage you to try and watch it.
Btw here are some of my favourite scenes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
