I’ll have to dig around, I’ve been out of watching anime for a few years now but the desire has sort of hit me lately to pick some back up.
Any exceptionally good dubs? I’d actually love one I could watch like an episode before I fall asleep in bed. I’ve always preferred subs, but bad eyes can’t read a TV screen with no glasses.
There is one! Freiren!
If anyone likes Lord Of The Rings type stories? Or high fantasy in general? This one's gigantic. #1 on MAL's all-time list for a reason. All the hype doesn't even cover how good it is.
And the dub is outstanding! Frieren's English VA has a different style to her delivery? It takes 5 minutes for it to sound absolutely perfect, just like the J-VA's.
They released the first 4 episodes at once because (honestly) it takes some time to set the stage & get used to the "dual stories" of Freiren's past journey with the Hero's Party. By early Ep.03 I was totally hooked!
Se.03 in Oct '27! Not that long in comparison. People are unanimous that it's not just the best story arc in Frieren, it's one of the best manga arcs ever.
I find that most manga/anime stories take a bit to get hooked anyway. As do a lot of JRPGs. They take more time on character development. Western media will just say, "here's a character, she's a black lesbian" and that's supposed to trigger something in your programming that makes you instantly care and they don't have to bother with character arcs.

Odd Taxi had a good dub. I didn't expect to like it, but it sucked me in
It is! It's quite the different show, eh?
Definitely, and you don't expect it to go like it does when you see the cute style of the characters
