I recently watched the Anime Lucky Star and I liked it, Now I'm looking for English Dubbed anime with girls as the main characters.

Can also be only 1 girl as a main character like Squid Girl :3

Edit : So what if I want to watch dubs? I want to enjoy the show, if I want to read I'll grab a book or something.

I don't think Chrono Crusade is the type of anime he is looking for. But damn, Chrono Crusade is one hell of a great anime!

Rosette is a main character, so thought I'd mention it. Now, if her looklike Bridget was the main character, there might be a problem.

I have heard NieA under 7 is fairly good, a sci-fi comedy drama that the studio behind Serial Experiments Lain made to relax after that mindfuck. You should specify what genres you like though

Some of us prefer voices we understand over reading subtitles. I know I do. I can deal with subs, but really dislike them during action scenes as I can't seem to focus on both action and text.

If you can handle subs I personally recommend Girls und Panzer as well. It's similar to Strike Witches but less fanservice.

Rare to find really nice dubs though. Recently I have rewatched my Dragon Ball DVD's in dub though.

Not sure if there are any "girl main character" based anime that have good dubs...

I think it's mainly that most of the time the voice actors are just too horrible to listen to... Thankfully I'm used to subs for anything non-native so they are easy to watch...

I might be in the minority, but I prefer Azumanga's dub to the original. It, Clannad, Pokemon, Samurai Pizza Cats and Digimon Adventure are the only anime that I feel have English actors that completely outdo the original cast (though all three had great original VAs too, it's just my opinion). I do feel quite a few great dubs that rival their original cast are taken for granted (and that's coming from a guy that watches mostly subbed stuff).

Try the first el hazard oav series, one - it's wonderful, and two - even the makers admit the dub is superior

Sorry ... did you just say El-Hazard OVA? Please ... BE MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER. This is my favorite anime series of all time. The TV series and sequels didn't live up to its high standards, sadly.

EDIT: Just saw that you said the dub is superior. I rescind my offer of life long friendship. The dubbing sucks. And no one can back the original Jinai's maniacal laugh.

Japan dubs are better obviously but this group of dubs, are improving every year, they're dubbing for free, they have their own sites with more than 1000 dubbed anime or even more if taking all dub groups but not all are the best obviously, they're not "official" dubbers, but all anime that were "officialy" dubbed (that can appear on TV and can be sold) are just a little amount hopefully because official dub suck imo, they do a lot of stupid voices to characters, they omit bad language, they make a lot of errors because they dub everything not only anime, they don't know a lot or nothing about japanese culture that appear in anime, etc

Some things just don't work as well with subtitles.
Like trying to watch Excel Saga without dubs. There is a focus/reading speed/comprehension speed thing to factor in.

If you had the guts to watch more anime made by Kyoto Animation (KyoAni): Clannad ( both series and movie ), Kannon (both series and movie ), The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Air ( series and movie ).

Also, i can heartly recommend Ef: A Tale of Melodies and Ef: A tale of memories, Skip Beat.

Though with subtitles a fair chunk of the visual effort is obscured. You can read fast, but absorbing everything with full comprehension in a busy/quick moving scene is a different matter. Like Excel Saga, with the main lead talking at the speed of light all the time :P

Dubbed/subbed anime = fail.

Becoming fluent in the spoken home language = superior

I'm missing voices I don't understand anyway. How does that make it better? Some people I know like to claim that the English dubs are emotionless crap and that the Japanese did it much better, but I know one thing about each of those people, they don't understand a word of the language. The Japanese original voice track can still be crap, just most people watching don't know anything about the language to understand that.

I watch both and the only reason I see subbed anime as better is that there is so much more of it because some never get dubbed.

Now, that is a fair reason to watch it. Stuff that isn't currently / is never going to be dubbed. I won't complain of people suggesting subbed titles for that reason, just that I won't accept the 'its better!' reason.

Eh. If you take a look at a series like Legend of the Galactic Heroes that ran for decades with an enormous cast of dozens and dozens of named characters and the Japanese dub having an all star voice cast with only like one VA doing more than one role, and only one character getting recast. An english dub of the same magnitude and quality is pretty much impossible, the entire alliance side would be dubbed by Yuri Lowenthal and the entire imperial side would be dubbed by JYB lol.

There's nothing wrong with english dubs, but there just simply isn't even enough talent to go around.

Claiming that something is better when you don't understand it makes no sense. It is simply being a snobbish idiot. I detest those people.

It's idiotic to pretend that understanding it is relevant. The subtitles provide you with free understanding. Voice acting is about emotion, tonality, etc., not about the words. You're completely missing the point. Claiming that something is better when you don't understand it makes no sense.

Also, when anime is dubbed, it's almost always incorrectly translated. Subbed anime is usually translated at least somewhat accurately. (This is done intentionally to make the audio length fit the length of time that character's mouths are moving.)
