This topic is about the good dubs out there. Share the ones you know and love. Watching an anime with a great dub might be a better experience because you should be looking more at the art than at words at the bottom of the screen, right? I'm not saying subs are bad, but the anime voice-over industry doesn't deserve all of the bashing and backlash it gets.
So post what you think are good examples of dubbing! I'll post my own later on.

The Card-Captor Sakura Second Movie. They got VAs that sound exactly like the Japanese ones, and used the same spells and stuff as they did when it was dubbed instead. It was just perfect.
Oh yes! This was going to be one of my examples. I love that movie so much. Now if only they had given that treatment to the first movie and the whole series......
One of the best examples I can think of is Hellsing Ultimate, where quite a few of the English voices (most notably Alucard) are better than the Japanese version. Go Crispin Freeman!
Bleach was pretty good early on with the perfect casting as Johnny Yong Bosch voicing Ichigo, but sometimes I look at recent episodes and sometimes I want to shove my head under a pillow. XD
I thought the first FullMetal Alchemist series had a fantastic dub, but I know there are those who disagree (and disagree with the series as a whole).
I never finished watching Haruhi Suzumiya, but the dubbing was really good in that they matched up to the Japanese voices pretty well. That was one of those where I alternated subbing and dubbing between episodes. XD
It seems Code Geass has great dubbing, but I've only heard a few episodes of it since I actually mostly watched it with subs.
On another note, I watch all of Hayao Miyazaki's movies with dubbing first and so far there hasn't been one I didn't like.

Code Geass: I liked Code Geass' dub too. I thought the character's voices fit nicely.
Nabari no Ou: I haven't finished the whole series, but, I think that the voices are good so far.
Death Note: A lot of people have problems with the dub, well, I don't. I think they did a fairly good job.
Gundam Wing: With the occasional minor characters dubbed poorly, it was still nicely done.
...And More!

She also has quite a few dubbed anime songs on Youtube under the username, ValliereVee.
They're really good and I recommend seeing them.

I know many people will hate on this, but I also enjoy most of Funimation's dubs. To me, they got some fantastic voice work ranging from stuff like Yu Yu Hakusho to FMA. I loved it and they are probably the dubbed company I look out for the most. I've also enjoyed Pioneer/Geneon/whatever else they were called before they got shut down. Not all dubs I've seen have been good (Gundam Seed), but I'm not one to say all original japanese voices are good either. There are times where I find dubs way more enjoyable to watch than the subs just because the voice acting is better.

However, the voices are very well chosen and fitting for the characters, and are very passionate.
I also enjoy Latin American dubs, as they keep the Japanese names, and the voices are also great. But, no offence intended here, I totally dislike the Europen Spanish dubs, because they pronounce the names as they are written taken directly from the English version, and it's a complete mess.

Pretty much this, I couldn't agree more. I love FUNi's voice actors, and having met some of them at conventions, I can say they're really awesome to their fans as well (for the most part.) I really think they do a good job, and it helps that some like Greg Ayres are fans, just like us.
Most of my examples of good dubs I would have listed have already been named, so I'll just add 2c and say Cowboy Bebop's dub is the only one I've heard of that some people think is actually better than the original. Something about the characters' voices sounding the same/too similar in Japanese; I can't really say for sure, as I've never heard it. But I found it very surprising the first time I heard someone say that.
But honestly? For me, it's mostly about what I hear first. I mean, once I hear a character, whether Japanese or English, that voice pretty much becomes a standard for what I think the voice should sound like, and someone different won't sound quite right. So if I watch dubbed first, I'll prefer it (ex: Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop); and if likewise if I watch it subbed first, I'll prefer the Japanese (ex: Full Moon wo Sagashite, ToraDora!)
^(if the latter is ever dubbed)
That's not to say there aren't/won't be exceptions to this. But for the most part, this is how I feel about it.

Exactly what I was going to post.
Latin American dubs... If the anime is big enough, it'll get an excellent dub. If not, the dub will be terrible.
Probably none of you heard the Latin American dubs for these, but my examples are Neon Genesis Evangelion, Death Note and Dragon Ball/Z/GT. I've seen other Latin American dubbed anime (Bleach, The Twelve Kingdoms, Black Jack, FullMetal Alchemist, Get Backers), and the voice acting is terrible... Most of the time, if the anime's main theme's lyrics are dubbed, too, you can tell that the dub will suck. Exceptions are Dragon Ball/Z/GT.
As to English dubs, I heard only a few. But for the ones I have heard, I can say that the quality is above bad, maybe sometimes even good, but not exceptional.

TOTALLY unrelated to the original script. And they'd never stop making fun of themselves.

I remember liking Trigun's. Especially Vash's voice.
I remembered this, too, and insisted on the dub when I forced my fiancé to watch it with me. Johnny Yong Bosch is pretty much perfect as Vash. He pulls off all the weird Vashy noises without sounding weird or forced, and he flips between serious and silly with no problems. He'll always be Vash to me. Wolfwood sounds pretty cool most of the time, too, but everybody else...Oh my god, it's really bad! I honestly couldn't tell you why I thought it was so amazing as a teenager.
More recently, I think Gurren Lagann got an excellent dub. Kamina doesn't sound quite confident enough in the first handful of episodes, but he grows into the role by the time it really matters. What really impressed me was Kittan--a lot of Kittan scenes later in the series felt even more emotional in English than in Japanese, and that hardly ever happens for me. (And obviously Blum as Leeron is love.)

Also, let me say on the record that the first few seasons of Sailor Moon had really good dubbing. The voice actors and actresses all fit their parts well. The only problem was the scripts were terrible. Then when it got revived in Cartoon Network, everything about the dubbing was awful.
I agree. Too bad they couldn't get it together later to make it better.
Dubs I've liked are FMA, Gundam Wing, Project A-Ko, and Trigun.

Basically most any anime now on recent Adult Swim has good dubbing (Save for Death Note, but I'm just saying that because I don't like it, and I know it's wrong, but it nearly got me in trouble.)
Other good dubs include Black Cat, the Utena movie dub, the second Cardcaptor Sakura movie, Kaleido Star, OURAN, Gundam 00 (from what I've heard), the Slayers dubs (considering that the majority of the cast returned for the Revolution and Evolution-R), and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (although this was around the time that they were starting to "overuse" Vic Mignogna for lead/major characters).
A few dubs that gradually got better over time was Case Closed (they've gotten better in the recent movies they dubbed), the Revolutionary Girl Utena series dub (although, I never got over Miki's voice), and, once again, Kaleido Star (Ken kinda sounded weird... *Note that Ken's VA mostly plays older people, like Daiki from DN Angel, Yuzuru Suou from Ouran, Lord Death from Soul Eater, and being the replacement for Booker Kudo in Case Closed.)

Cowboy Bebop
Fullmetal Alchemist(first series...I haven't seen enough of the Brotherhood dub on Adult Swim to make a judgement, but I like what I've heard so far since it's mostly the same VAs)
Trigun
Moribito(great show, might be a little too slow-paced for some, but Cindy Robinson was perfect for Balsa)
Haruhi Suzumiya
Slayers
Death Note(I give the "Shinigami/Death God" thing a pass because they actually used both terms in the dub)
Pretty much anything Funimation dubs is good...Viz, too.
Everything else I've seen is either tolerable, has one or more characters who's voice(s) grate(s) on my nerves, or they changed the title/character names/story(I love the series and all, but the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors dub hit on all three of those).

I'll confess that I pretty much grew up with this dub cast. I like them because they really sound like they're having fun with it--I think they must have, if they all came back to do the new seasons for a different company.
I have a feeling that Crispin Freeman had a lot to do with them all coming back--one of the bonus features on the Slayers: Premium DVD (possibly the only thing that makes it worth owning) was an interview with Freeman where he talks about fighting to get the Zelgadis role, even though a different company was doing the dubbing. He comes across as a total Slayers nerd and I love him for it.

Any use of Vic Mignogna is overuse. I don't understand his following at all.

Yeah, the cast for Slayers is pretty much the cast majority from the Utena dub. It was originally Central Park Media that had the rights for Slayers, but when CPM was gone, rights for Slayers went to FUNimation, and they (FUNi) chose to bring back the majority of the cast from the earlier dubs (noting that I think it was Xellos's VA that was changed.)

Vic's following was based primarily off his voicing as Edward Elric from FMA, which is the show where the Risembool Rangers came from, but now it's just a big fan-group of people that love his talents from any anime he's had a notable role in to the songs he performs. As a matter of fact, I believe there's always one of his panels at every convention he goes to.
The thing about his voice-acting nowadays is that I've started to see less of his voice-acting in recent FUNi releases, save for Tamaki in Ouran. And you're not the only one that thinks he's being overused; when FUNi announced the licensing of Axis Powers Hetalia, I saw multiple comments about not putting Vic into the cast.

The Utena dub didn't work as well for me. I just don't think Rachael Lillis can be in lead roles, because all I hear when she speaks is RACHAEL LILLIS. Her voice is great, but it's almost too distinctive. It's absolutely perfect for the loud, overconfident Martina/Jessie stuff, but it didn't have the right kind of quiet strength for Utena.

I thought Rachael Lillis did better in the Utena movie dub than in the series dub, though, but that's probably because the director for the Utena movie was there during recording to make sure the cast sounded better than in the series.
(I do think, though, that they miscasted Miki's VA. *facepalm*)

You didn't know that?!?! (They announced it back in January during the Roll-out Riot!)
Oh god, I hope they do the accents, but if they f- them up, I'm gonna go PSYCHO-DOLLIE on someone!!
No, not every character Vic voices is blonde. He did voice Death Scythe in Soul Eater (red-head), and he voiced Dark in DN Angel (purple-head). And then he voiced the blonde-purplestreaked musician Tobias in Case Closed: Captured in Her Eyes. But most of his characters are either a parental figure (Fai, Tamaki, Spirit/Death Scythe), spazzy freaks (Tamaki, Edward), womanizing guys (Spirit/Death Scythe, Tamaki, Dark), or smexy people (...Fai, Tamaki, Spirit/Death Scythe, Edward, Dark)
.............. *prays* Please God don't let him f- up Hetalia.

Now I'll be itching to see the dub.
Well, anyway. What I think are good english dubs are:
Full Metal Alchemist
xxxHolic Although I didn't really like Mokona's voice very much...
One Piece (Funi Version) I love it that they took the license to this anime and did a very good job of dubbing it better unlike a certain company that dubbed it before them.
Death Note
Bleach
I also really liked the Fruits Basket Dub even though it was just 26 episodes long. :3
I also will never forget the older seasons of Pokemon where there was the older voice of Ash and with Misty and Brock. I really thought those were well dubbed.

Yes, really.
As a matter of fact, due to last year's Ouran updates I did, I'll be doing them again this year for Hetalia, so here's the *ahem* evidence (since this is a AA site) to show that FUNi really did do the licensing thing.
TAKE THAT!!

Baccano was introduced to me with the dub, and I've heard their Japanese voices later on. It was, quite frankly, amazing.
Baka & Test was an anime I found on Netflix, and so I didn't really have the option to go Japanese, but I found the voice acting to do rather well. Heck, Hideyoshi's voice actor did a good job of being androgynous- and I would've liked to see whoever it was as Naoto Shirogane in Persona 4, but I don't know which came first.
Sailor Moon's dub voice acting... well, I sort of forgive it because that was what I grew up with. Sailor Moon was my first anime, and I probably wouldn't have even moved on to Dragon Ball Z had I not seen Sailor Moon first.
I haven't seen it in a while, but I remember liking the Tenchi dubs when it was on Toonami.

Comparable, I'd think. Though I do wonder if I don't notice bad acting in Japanese works due to the language barrier, or if they take their voice acting more seriously over there.

I could say the other main obvious ones like Cowboy Bebop, Ouran High (this was a really quality dub), etc, but one that really stands out to me is Haibane Renmei. It really reminds me of the Japanese. Once I didn't even realize I was watching the Japanese instead of the dub because they sound so similar. There's nothing grating or out of place.
Any character that J Michael Tatum voices as well.
