The Naruto Dub

[Mae]

That is interesting. I wonder who he'll voice, Kakashi maybe? Honestly, I didn't relly like him as Spike because he left out a lot of the playfullness and whatever happens, happens attitude that I loved in the character. But he wasn't too bad as an actor.

Also, and sorry if I missed this somewhere else, but Naruto really will be on Toonami? That's the prime-time slot, right? This could be good or bad. Bad, because there will be editing, but good, because there is a better chance of the series catching on and being truly popular in the US. I can just see it... Naurto toys, Naruto lunchboxes, kids dressing up as Naruto characters at Holloween... I would keep a special box of king-sized candybars to give to all the cute little kids dressed up like ninjas... Or maybe not [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Another random installment of the dub courtesy of youtube. This is Neji and Hinata's fight in the Chuunin exam:

Episode 46:
Part 1
Part 2

Neji's VA still doesn't fit him at all, and I don't like the way he puts emphasis on his lines to sound badass. His dialogue is also pretty cheesey, but perhaps that's due to the orignal script. However, I thought his "insight" speech was pretty good (when he's telling Hinata to give up). He at least sounds arrogant - which is what counts.

Translations:
Byakugan > Kept the same
Tenketsu > Chakra points (no quibbles)
Jyuuken > Gentle Fist Style (direct translation)

Episode 47:
Part 1
Part 2

The only thing worth watching in this one is Hinata's monologue in the last 5 minutes of Part 1 and the beginning of Part 2. Stephanie Sheh is a great Voice Actress. I can't wait to hear her as Orihime in Bleach.

Episode 48 (The legendary Rock Lee / Gaara fight) aired last Saturday. I missed it and can't find it on Youtube but I heard it's great. I'll post 48 - 50 when I can. I expect both the principle actors to shine.

48 was great, gaara and Lee's VA's were doing a great job! And I do really enjoy listening to Gai sensei's voice... it just fits... even though it's so different...

[Yukimura]

I agree about Gai, while he sounds different his tone and the emotions conveyed feel right on. Garaa is also pretty good at being a bored psychokiller, however I don't like Lee's voice at all. It sounds far too whiny and odd.
