I wouldn't consider naruto a great dub. It's not bad either. Sort of meh. Anyone saying it's the worst dub ever needs to listen to some more dubs.
Are you telling me that I don't listen to enough dubs? 😱
How many does a guy have to listen to?

dozens and dozens 😎
also add in the Ghost in the shell series to the list of great dubs. It's dub and sub seem about equal but the fact that I don't have to read all the dialogue and pseudo science and philosophy is a plus.
The Uk Dragonball Z movie dubs are legendary in how appalling they are. Unfortunately Youtube has removed most of the good clips from the site. Some of the name changes include:
Piccolo = Big Green
Kami =God
sayains/Super sayains = Space warriors/Super Warriors/Super space warriors
Dragonballs = Crystal balls
Big gete star = The great gelester.
Add in appalling voice acting and poor dialogue.
Best: Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Hellsing TV/Hellsing Ultimate (the Hellsing OVAs), Full Metal Panic!, Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Lagoon, Outlaw Star, Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z, Rurouni Kenshin TV, Samurai Champloo, Ninja Scroll (movie), Lupin III (the dubs done by Pioneer, as well as the ones done by FUNimation), Zoids: Chaotic Century/Guardian Force
Worst: Naruto, Bleach, Samurai X (the Rurouni Kenshin OVAs), both of the Yu Yu Hakusho movies (even though one of them is just an OVA), Samurai Deeper Kyo, Street Fighter 2, certain dubs of Lupin III (Pioneer and FUNimation do a good job with their dubs for Lupin III, most other companies that have licensed parts of the series, and/or some of the movies, have done a pretty poor, or downright lousy, job with their dubbing)

Well, I agree with you on Naruto, but I wouldn't really call DBZ the worst dub. At the very least I have respect for that dub, because the VAs in that had to do more work than in any other anime dub, simply because the series was so long, with so many characters, whereas there were only a handful of voice actors, in that the number of character roles actually outnumbered the number of actual voice actors in the series, by over 2 to 1. Also, IMO, the sub for DBZ is even worse than the dub (although, once again, I don't find the dub to be bad; maybe its not the best, but I listed it as one of them, just out of sheer respect for the effort put into it). Many of the VAs had to play over half a dozen characters in the series 😖hock: (although some of them were only minor). And, not only did they have to dub the series, and various movies, but they also had to dub many of the games as well, which took months to do (the script was over 600 pages long). I also watched a behind the scenes video, included in one of the DVDs, on it, and it gave me a lot of insight into how much more difficult voice acting is, than what most people might take it for.
Whoops, well I sort of got carried away with that post. However, I sort of felt like sharing my viewpoint in the DBZ dub 😄 .
