Full metal alchemist, the original not Brotherhood, was the pivot point in my opinion where dubs were superior to subs.
The main characters were all well voice acted while I admit background characters were poorly voice acted.
However I say it’s the pivot point because the in top of the main characters having good voice actors the translation included cultural context I would have never picked up on my own.
For instance it took me nearly a decade later of occasionally watching subs to find out that “ore” was rude when male characters used it to refer to themselves because I didn’t have the cultural context to understand.
If I’m willing to become fully fluent in a language and its culture dubs are superior, but I just don’t have the time for most foreign media.
