Dubbed Anime

Wait...there's two Akira dubs Which is the one that's on the Manga Ent's utimate release then?

Both. Disk 1 has the 1989 dub(with the movie is full screen format and VHS quality video, god knows why they put that on...) and Disk 2 has the Pioneer dub (with remastered video). It's a good thing the Pioneer dub is great too because the release only has annoying hearing impared subtitles.

I don't know why it couldn't be just one disk and have the option of selecting which dub you want on the remastered version.

Looks like the opinion on the old Akira dub is pretty unanimous...i'll probably give them both a go in the end.

Vampire Hunter D wasn't a dub. It was American made. But you're right, the voices sucked.

Even though it changes the plot? I wouldn't watch it in dub, if I were you.

Ghibli films to vary - some are excellent, but they are often very "Americanised". Laputa probably has the worst dub - they made one minor character into a comedy act by putting in as much off-screen puns as possible (whether that's a willing sacrifice for the orchestrated score in the English version is up to you). Also avoid Totoro's dub. Two words: Dakota Fanning.
