That pretty much goes for any movie or anime, I would say.
One exception would be the English version of the childrens show "Magic Roundabout" which I believe was originally a French political satire. The English version just watched the show and then made up a story to go along with what was happening on screen.
I presume Zebedee was meant to be a caricature of de Gaulle but if I am mistaken I am sure somebody will correct me. :-)
- aninhumer 11y agoMy understanding is that it's true that the English version was not based on the original script, but the original French was still just a children's show.

The possible exception would be Steins;Gate; I contend that the mad-scientist ranting sounds better in your native tongue. (I am aware of the position that it's somewhat less authentic and will concede that the English version of Mayuuri's tu-tu-ruu is of lower quality.)
- stordoff 11y agoI'm generally not too bothered about sub. v. dub, but for some reason I find Steins;Gate in English to be really jarring. Not sure why, but I feel like the voices don't really fit the characters in the dubbed version.
