Ugh, it sounds worse than those deliberately cheap youtube abridged episodes of stuff...
Are all Finnish dubs that bad? (I assume yes from what you said)
English dubs are usually okay (at least in my experience, maybe I've just been lucky), but I've heard Samurai X was so awful they scrapped it and redubbed it as Rurouni Kenshin.

Samurai X is awful.

Eh. The Japanese language doesn't do anything for me. Don't love it, don't hate it, just...doesn't register a response. And the extremely high-pitched female voices they occasionally throw in REALLY don't do anything for me. XD But thankfully, that is the rare occasion.
I've seen more than what I listed, it's just I only listed what I liked. I couldn't tolerate Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist never did much for me, either. I dunno why that's the case for FMA, but I DO know why I didn't like Bleach...or, Atheismo-forbid, Naruto; they simply annoyed me. Bleach was just pretentiously dramatic. Reminded me of G Gundam...and that's another anime I couldn't sit through despite my best efforts.
I keep looking for animes that'll interest me but let me put it like this; FLCL annoyed the hell out of me. Anime MIGHT be lost upon me. XD

You're listing off all the shounen+battle anime genre that is so popular among North American anime fans. I can see why anime isn't doing anything for you.
I don't know what to recommend you. Fate/Zero is always my first recommendation but you don't want to watch subbed anime. Claymore And Mushi-shi are both great AND have great English dubs. Angel Beats! supposedly had a great English dub, too; just didn't want to recommend that one because the 'cute' animation style, I guess.

I have seen Claymore in the Netflix Instant queue on my account...I might have to take a look at it, it DID kind of look intriguing.

I enjoy the anime based off video games the most. Not a fan of the rest.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

I'm currently watching Steins;Gate bit by bit. It has a really slow, boring start, in my opinion. My friend has assured me that it picks up and turns into one of the greatest anime's ever, though.
Yeah, it starts slow, but once it gets into it, it is amazing!

You should know that the ending of the anime doesn't follow the manga. I personally thought the ending to the anime was trash but other than that, it was a pretty good anime.
