Comes the Inquisitor - S2-E21

Audio problem: In the last scene of the episode Sheridan says to Mr. Sebastian "The morning after the last of a string of murders in the East End." His lips however, say West End instead of East End. The script and initial broadcast used the words East End, but after it was pointed out that this was factually incorrect, the line was dubbed over for all subsequent broadcasts and releases.

Midori no chikyû wa makasetoke - S1-E2

Audio problem: In the hangar scene at the beginning, Goat is talking to Akito. Seiya Uribatake in the background is arguing with his fellow mechanical worker about the reparations to the Aestivalis. The conversation happens in the back of the hangar and it is meant to be strong background noise, annoying enough to prompt Goat's reaction, but in the English dub it is so strong that quite literally most of the main dialogue is nearly inaudible because of it. The dubber also adds a surprised/scared "waah" at the end when Goat cuts him off, but that is incredibly delayed compared to the reaction of the character on screen. (00:02:35)
