amibasuki Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 okay, I know most prefer subbing over dubbing, and that there's a heck of alotta really crappy dubbing actors. but there are some English voice actors that are actually pretty decent. if you can think of a couple of 'em, which ones come to mind?

Juu Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Subbing definately. I really don't like alot o the dubbed voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I don't know any names, so I'll just write a few of their roles. Good English VA's: 1. Carrot (Sorcerer Hunters) 2. Kuwabara (Yu Yu Hakusho) 3. Mr. Kunikida (Blue Seed) Good thing you made this topic, since I've always wanted to say something: I personally don't see why are some people so biased towards dubs. A japanese VA could talk like a zombie, and they praise him. An english VA could pour his heart into giving an amazing translation, but he'll be nitpicked to Hell and back. And while I'm at it, what's the deal with staying true to the japanese script? If a character says "Hi, Kei." instead of just "Hi.", he sucks (at least, according to nitpickers). I have seen some translations that totally blow away the japanese script, but some people won't give them even a chance. They will just go watch the sub. Ahh...Needed to get that out of my chest. Don't take that as a flame, or as an offense. It was just a person blowing off steam and expressing himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amibasuki Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 I know what you mean. I'm getting better at not being so gripey, cuz it seems that anime dubbing is getting better now (for the most part). I still like getting anime subbed, cuz in most cases the subs are still better than the dubs. but for some series I wouldn't mind getting dubbed. anywho, here are some voice actors I like (I don't know most of the ppl's names, but oh well.) -Vash from Trigun (my favorite so far ^_^) -Akito from MS Nadesico (one of my other favorites) -Kenshin from you-guessed-it! (Richard Hayworth; I didn't like how he tried making his voice sound tough in the Candidate for Goddess dub though *bleh*) -Tamahome from Fushigi Yuugi -Sasami from Tenchi -Hiei and Kuwabara from Yuu-Yuu Hakusho -Faye from Cowboy Bebop (Wendee Lee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amibasuki Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 that's already been stated. the question was which voice actors you like (or could stand, if you want to look at it somewhat pessimistically) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def_Kun Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I really don't know the people that dubbed this but they deserve my praises(at least) for their outstanding work 1. Evangelion 2. Goldenboy 3. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust 4. Ranma 1/2 ---> even though I hated the replacement voice actor of Ranma guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Lex Lang Steve Cannon Zan Mellissa Williamson those ARE the BEST voice actors the worst are Ruby Marlowe Wendee Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 lol. Both the bad voice actors you mentioned, Forest Pixie, weren't they VA's in Fushigi Yuugi? Did Ruby Marlowe do Miaka? It seems like she did, but I can't remember. If she did, she does stink. :p I really like David Matranga's voice (Orphen in.....Orphen). He has a very nice voice, and it suited at least Orphen very well. I don't care much for Spike Spencer....he does Majic in Orphen, Shinji in Eva, and several other parts. I just don't like his voice....it doesn't sound very natural.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I'm slow...but that would totally ruin it for me since I've seen the subs, and I used to those voices. My favorites would have to be nearly any character from CB, Orphen, and a few others that are evading my mind right now, but yeah...English Kenshin and Trigun would kill me...

amibasuki Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 eh, the dubbings of the shows themselves are okay I guess. I don't know how Vash's Japanese voice sounds, but I really like Vash's dubbed voice, it seems to fit him almost perfectly ^_^. and Kenshin's dubbed voice is nice to listen to (when he's not pissed off), that it is :p. btw, Vash's voice actor is Johnny Yong Bosch, that dude Kouberei mentioned earlier (I didn't notice it until just now :whoops: silly me). see if you can guess which show he was in before he started working on Trigun :laugh:. here's a pic of him ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amibasuki Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 lol, he's hilarious. I wish there was a little download thingy that you could hear of Johnny-boy playing Vash, he really doesn't sound bad at all. maybe not as good as the Japanese seiyuu (I wouldn't know, I haven't heard him yet), but his voice is still good.

Anna Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Trigun's english voice actor does a good job............................. I just find it VERY hilarious he was a Power Ranger..... PAHAHAHA! :rotflmao: anyway.. And kenshin's va is good toooooo, and Sanosukeeeeeeee, and I can't think of anymore right nooooowwwww, but I still prefer subs. :wigout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedlit Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 :wow: :drunk: ACK!! Vash? a.....POWER RANGER!?!?! How did that happen!? Gah! What is this world coming to!? Darn you anna. -.-;; I was going to mention Sanosuke. And Amibasuki, I have no idea as to why you like Akito's voice. It gets so annoying. But that's your oppinion, not mine, so I'm not going to worry about it. :cross: Anywho, I like the person who did Tasuki's voice dubbing from Fushigi Yugi. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amibasuki Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 it's important to remember that Vash himself is not a Power Ranger, his va is :D and I have no idea as to why you like Tasuki's voice koolaid, it gets so annoying :cross: but seriously, his dubbed voice is [i]nothing[/i] compared to the way Hayashi Nobutoshi does it.

Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 :) Well that wasn't the only person from a power ranger to do a dubbing job in an anime! For those of you who remember Adam that Johnny Young Bosh I believe was his name played in the power rangers first show, actually did the voice acting in the re-dub special edition of Akira! He infact played the voice of Tetsuo! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
