As you all know, I am NO fan of dubs, but to call Cowboy Bebop one of the worst dubbings is quite a stretch. It's actually well done. English voice cast fits Japanese ones pretty well, synch and such also good, and no awkward lines.

Back to Naruto: Okay the voices were a "little" messed up, they did leave out the nose bleading parts, and they screwed up a lot of the lines! Gyah toonami suck big time. Why couldn't Naruto go to Adult Swim so that it wouldn't be edited?

Anyway I haven't decided yet if I am going to keep watching the episodes on toonami. I am probably just going to keep watching the subtitle version. Yes I am on episode 80 or something close to that.

I swear, was Naruto's voice the same person who does Gohan's voice ...?

I could not stand it at all. I lost interest in a few minutes, and turned it off to play Yoshi's Island.

Meh. Really I thought it was just pretty bad, but on top of that, I've gotten pretty picky over the last couple of years and recently ... sometimes, just because it's dubbed, I don't even put effort into trying to watch an anime. It's just hard to keep interest, even if it's a great series.

Actually, I didn't really have much of a problem with the dubs.

I'll be watching it next week unless someone manages to pry me away from the TV.

Yeah ill keep watching for sure. I really liked what they did with the translation for "Dattebayo", Naruto saying "Believe It" all the times just suits his character in my opinion. I really liked that.

It seriously wasn't that bad. I watched it the entire way through, and if people keep complaining about how Naruto's name is pronounced, then I'll just point back to what I posted earlier. I don't see anything wrong with how they're pronouncing it and it seems to fit fairly well within Japanese pronunciation.

More voices introduced this week, but of noticable interest is the voices for Sasuke and Kakashi.

SPOT. ON.

Seriously, a huge amount of my fears for the series have lifted from these two alone. Everyone else was good too, save for...
Spoiler:
Chouji. I just think they made him sound a tad too...jolly-fat-guy-esque. Hopefully, it's just this one episode.


Now, let's hear some good voices for Lee, Kiba and Gaara, and we'll have a series...

I didn't watch this week actually, so I can't really comment. But I agree that the voices were fine in the first two episodes last week, I don't really understand why so many people are complaining.

I think Naruto's voice is wicked annoying, but I loved Kakashi's and Sasuke's. And I guess Sakura's was kinda generic, but other than that, overall everything worked out pretty neat. I just hope someone does something about Naruto...

Maya hi, maya ho, maya ho, maya ha ha

Halo, halo, a picture by Picasso,

No! it's Dankar Hamadlik.

Not be edited? What have you been smoking? There isn't a show on Adult Swim that hasn't been edited. Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, etc, they've been edited so they can be shown on AS. Examples:
  • Bebop: Episode 2 - Stray Dog Strut: Spike's "shit" was edited to say "damn" instead when he rescues Ein from the big fall.
  • Bebop: Episode 5 - Gateway Shuffle: The magazine which Jet's cop friend is holding has a digitally enhanced bra on the woman.
  • Samurai Champloo: Pretty much every episode has been edited, mostly because Mugen likes to say "shit."
  • ATHF: Gee Whiz: "...I would've been mother *beep* offended out of my mother *beep* eyeballs."

Just a few examples of many.

Hell, there's only one show that has been shown truely uncut, which, oddly enough, is the new DBZ dub that's still playing.

Personally, this show isn't that great. The only reason I can pick up for anybody to watch it is Naruto transforming into a naked woman...

Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks this way but I always saw damn as a more severe curse word than shit.

Yeah, my friends told me about that one, I almost choked on my own spit when I realized who it was.

I have to disagree with everyone.
All female voices are pretty bad in my opinion, as usual.
Sasuke's is horrible.
Shikamaru's is so bad and so out of place.
Naruto's is just plain annoying.

I just seriously can't stand any of the voices for the dub.

But it's no big deal, I'll just continue seeing the subs, like usual.

Note: And yes, the series gets a lot better around the 2nd arc, when you start to meet all of the other characters and everything (Gai, Gaara, etc).

'Greddie: I do. But not the early episodes. Right up to about ep... 70 or so? The one where they start summoning frogs. That's when it gets ludicrous. Zabuza, Rock Lee and the five seals, Gaara vs. Sasuke... That's all good. 'Cause then, it's not Dragon Ball Z. And Orochimaru just won't die. That's not fair either.

I have heard about Naruto forever but never got around to seeing it until it started playing on Toonami. I've heard a lot of people complaining about the dub, but since I have no experience with the original it doesn't really bother me. I think they gave him that voice to make it more for kids, because that's how it's being marketed here.

Anyway, I really liked it. I went to the website (www.naruto.com) and there's all sorts of goodies there. Anyone seen the Naruto manga? Any good?

He's also around 12 or so, so I think his voice is fine, honestly.

I've read the manga, I think I liked the Japanese version better in many ways, but I've not noticed any real edits between excluding name choices (I've only read up to the third volume and then I just quit).
