Indeed not all dubs are bad. For instance, the new Akira dub is very good.
Nadesico as well has a "good dub" in my opinion as well as Evangellion and Lodoss War (the first LW...haven't seen the new one :evil: ). But in my eyes, if your gonna dub something, for GOD'S SAKES people take it seriously!!! Unlike Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust (and Blood The Last Vampire), dubs like DBZ and Getter Robo were just absolutely S#!T upon!
Blood and Bloodlust were both meant to be in english, and the creators specifically hand chose those voices for their characters because that's the voice they heard in their own minds for each of those characters.*HUFF breathless HUFF* BUT.....Not so is the case for DB and the like. These actors were chosen cuz the companies that dub them are cheap and picked out the most pathetic excuses for human existance to do the job because....
1) the people doing the voices have their heads so far up their @$$es they wanted the job to show off to the rest of their inbred friends.
2) the company knows that these "actors" are petty whores and will work for a shot in the mouth if it will get them an extra background voice. Which in it self is probably worth an additional 25 cents an hour.
3)The company is too stupid (or cheap) that they apparently don't have a copy machine to give the "actors" a script. They probably tell the cheap SOB's to wing it and make stuff up that will match the lip movement of the characters on the screen. Which is why the dialogue is so inconsistant, watered down, and a great means of traumatizing the children they market it to.
So in conclusion, if your going to do the job do it right.
