Panache Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 [quote name='Aceburner']Well then in those terms the only difference is that mediocre doesn't even begin to describe the first clip.[/QUOTE] Maybe to you. It just doesn't seem that bad to me. But while I judge the voices of a kid show my standards aren't set that high. Both voices don't seem that drastically different to me. In my opinion the manga is better than both 'versions' of the show. And the manga is still not that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allamorph Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 [FONT=Arial]Perhaps, [COLOR="DarkRed"]Ace[/COLOR], if you'd shown two vids with similar action, the difference in the dubs would have made sense. Or, a comparison of the Japanese/4Kids difference alongside a Japanese/Funimation difference. But with two completely dissimilar clips, we really can't tell too much either way.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spectacular Professor Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Alright, truth to that statement, Allamorph. Here's a couple action scenes to mull over. [YOUTUBE="Luffy vs. Arlong (4Kids)"]GKDmoNdQLd0[/YOUTUBE] Here we see one of the most epic fights from the original series being butchered like Barry the Chopper's wife. Note the delicate, subtle use of puns in every other sentence despite this scenes originally serious nature. Also observe the annoying cereal jingle playing in the background at all times. Oh, and blood edits and junk, too, but those are moderately acceptable. [YOUTUBE="Luffy vs. Bellamy (FUNi)"]TQIM_DGoBck[/YOUTUBE] Here we see a guy get OHKO'd. admittedly not the best action scene the series has ever had, but let's break it down in style, yes? No puns. This scene is serious bidniss, after all. Colleen Clinkenbeard seems to have a wider range of emotion that the 4Kids VA's "surprised and excited even when angry or in pain." The original music is kept. Not only is this better in my opinion, but the change was pretty much pointless in the first place. Another strike for 4Kids. Did you see those knuckle imprints?! Admittedly they were deeper in the original, but at least you get the idea that getting punched will have an adverse effect on your health and appearance. Overall, not what you were watching before. Now that you know, go ahead and pass judgment however you may. At least you are more informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Meh the differences are minor in my opinion. Neither is better than the other and they are both not very good. But whatever to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit that the new pokemon dub is ****... I was flippin through the channels and I stopped on Pokemon and thought "I used to like this show lets see where it has gone after all these years." "This is ****!" Is what immediately came out of my mouth. See that's something that goes beyond dubs. That is a direct insult to a child's intelligence.

I hate it too. BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE FRUITS BASKET?! You need to watch it in Japanese with English subtitles. The English voices are ick. I recomend that you read the manga for fruits basket. You might like it a bit more than the anime. P.S. I'm sorry if I blew up in your face. I just really love fruits basket. Shigure=fave character!

Allamorph Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 [quote name='Panache']I doubt watching it in a foreign language would drastically change his opinion of the show.[/quote] [FONT=Arial]I've found that while watching subtitled anime, not knowing the spoken language allows one to place the vocal stresses in approximately correct places, so it may just seem better. Plus, there's the issue of cultural jokes that don't translate (like in Bleach, when Uryu pointedly asks Ganju why Ganju feels he's allowed to call Uryu by his first name), as well as the occasional bad script-reading (like a very unconvincing "Yay!" from Misa during an episode of Death Note).[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruits Basket has a decent dub and for the sort of show it is it shouldn't make that big of a difference either way. Anyway in my opinion saying "Oh just watch it subbed it will be good then" is pretty silly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachmaninoff Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 [quote name='Panache']Anyway in my opinion saying "Oh just watch it subbed it will be good then" is pretty silly to me.[/QUOTE]Depends on the anime I would say. I've been watching some older shows that were heavily edited. I think Fruits Basket is pretty close but stuff like Yu Yu Hakusho? The English waters it down in a way that I don't care for. So I can see how watching the sub would make for a better experience. I understand it's the same for say the first season of Sailor Moon, that close to 15 episodes were trimmed out completely, making the English version an utter joke. And since I'm here, I'll say that is a horrid anime, that English version. What little I watched of the sub was vastly superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
