What anime do you think was ruined in its US dub?

Sailor Moon, One Piece (4kids version), Yu-Gi-Oh!, Zatch Bell!, etc.
 
The first Pokémon movie. I sorta can understand why they remade the soundtrack and everything, but it still sucks compared to the original.
 
Nothing can be "ruined" by a translation unless it's something like a religious text. In this day and age there's no reason for not being able to get the original.
 
Tokyo Mew Mew. I just watched some dub comparisons and OH MY GOD. I get that 4Kids wants it to appeal to American Kids, but some of their edits are just plain stupid. Its not as bad in Pokemon as it is in some other series though.

But cant we all stop making "Complain About This Topic Now" threads? Even if they are fun to post on...

4Kids One Piece and Pokémon Chronicles are what immediately come to mind.

Also, as much as I love Funimation, parts of the Dragon Ball Z dub are pretty bad even if they did improve exponentially over the course of the show. (Seriously, what the HFIL were their writers thinking back in 1999?)
 
Powerpuff Girls Z was badly slaughtered in the dub.
 
I think the Pokemon anime was ruined.
Why? Because the characters were too enthusiastic. They couldn't control themselves.
 
ANYTHING 4Kids dubbed was ruined,
the first Dragon Ball Z release in america was ruined

really if it was edited at all it was ruined
 
Who feels that the Shaman King dub was ruined?
Also people complain about the Beyblade dub? I really wonder how that series could be ruined in anyway...(sooo kiddy).
 
You can't really ruin an anime, but you sure can ruin people's perception of it with a terrible dub.

Any anime 4Kids ever touched, Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z deserved better. Out of all these, the one that annoys me the most is the butchering of Card Captor Sakura. CCS is a wonderful anime with a good story and a bunch of likable characters, and seeing how Nelvana turned it around makes me sad.
 
DEFENETLY Tokyo Mew Mew...I couldn't even BARE to watch it! It was pretty bad lol

I also hear that the Card Captor Sakuya dub sucked a lot, too. I remember being like 10 when I saw that show, but I guess I was just too young to find the dub sucky...I was a bit older when I saw the dub of Tokyo Mew Mew (even the NAME made NO SENSE. The Japanese name did...They were the mysterius endangered animal dna 'mew mew' super heroenes of Tokyo, on a mission to defete these evil aliens to save this boy that Ichigo loved....but, leave it to 4Kids to leave the Tokyo part out. :/ Their name made the anime sound like it was like League of Super Heroes or something...-_-; When it's NOTHING like that at all. Screw you, 4Kids! pfft Also, they seemed to change the episodes around a lot in the dub, or, something...much cutting?..and the voices didn't match the charictors much or something too. The manga was soo much better.)
 
I love how they cut out the whole integration, which was kinda what helped set up the plot. And it made some sense out of the show. Oh, that 4Kids. They didnt even bother making that series funny either T_T
 
Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime was a truly ruined show. It didn't need to be dubbed to be made bad. The second series was utter crap, especially compared to the first series which was one of the more imaginative shows in years.

Most US dubs are bad. For one thing, why is it only the U.S. seems compelled to change the music?
