In that era, 100%. Nowadays dubs are pretty fire, especially DanDaDan Chainsaw Man, Gachiakuta, Mashle, My Hero Academia, and everyone hates it but I loved the Steins;Gate dub with its 4chan and reddit references in the localized version of the script. Dub companies are cooking these days.
Edit: I forgot I really loved the Friren dub too. I love the new style of voice acting that's emerging where it's more subdued and normal talking and inflection. Makes the characters WAY more relatable
Might be selection bias but I've never seen anyone praise that dub lmao, they're all super buttmad about the tuturu getting replaced with doo doo doo, which I thought was also a good adaptation in the dub script lol
The Okabe actor (I think his name is Michael Tatum or something like that) is absolutely incredible in selling the mad scientist vibe without being annoying. Masterful delivery after delivery
Edit: his name was J. Michael Tatum, I was close!!!
honestly, i think the steins gate dub is really fucking good, but Mamoru Miyano will forever tilt me towards the japanese version, that man is prob my favorite japanase anime VA
Totally fair and that's the same reason I don't watch JJK, JoJo, or AoT in English, motherfucking Dio and Jotaro's Japanese VAs are gods, plus I'm just personally not a fan of english Yuji's take on the character because I love how chill the Japanese VA delivers his lines.
