Well, that's your opinion. Mine is that it's beyond horrendous. That's not to say there aren't worse ones out there, believe me, I've seen a LOT of bad dubs. I've posted the links to B.A.D. in here before, so check them out if you want some bad stuff.

I'm just saying, there are FAR FAR worse dubs than that, it's not that bad.. It seems that a lot of dubs just get written off as "Oh it's the dub therefore bad"
Certainly, they do. I started my anime watching/buying with horrible dubs, as subtitles were unknown to me at the time. Either it was raw Japanese, or a bad dub. Series like Ranma 1/2 were wonderful dubs to me. I thought VIZ did an awesome job on most of their dubs. Hell, I found issue with VIZ's subs at the time, because they were subbed so poorly. (or not at all in spots) The Ocean Group had a great group of VAs that made watching shows nice. ADV had some decent VAs as well, and were fun to hang out with at AWA too.
I've never said ALL dubs are bad. For the most part, it comes down to what I've seen first. If I see the dub first, you more easily associate the voices with dubbed ones, and vice-versa.
