Apparently, another thread was needed, if the first was maxed out.
As to the dub, FMA recieved one of (not 'the worst', as there are series still getting the Nelvana style treatment) the worser dub treatments of 'recent' anime. Dialogue is translated very loosely, particularly in favor of making a 'cool' or dramatic line that would sound 'neat' in an ad blurb, and it seems as if nobody bothered to consider the tone or timbre of the character's original voices. Also, the US recording studio was very cheap, not bothering with the faint occasional echo in Al's voice or in a few hallway scenes or even when Hughes was MCing the Flame vs. Fullmetal fight. Personalities are simplified to traditional stereotypes, taking Roy from the formal, subtle jackass to a growling smartmouthing and openly antagonizing 'cop on a power trip.' Greed was stripped of any of his personality in favor of being a stock angry growling villain. Gluttony was given a strange feel of intelligence. Kimblee's polite and smooth speech pattern was warped, much like Greed, into a typical raspy villain style...
In short, the dub, not just Vic's performance within it, is all around failure.
