If Blum does do a voice for Naruto I hope it isn't Kakashi. I just don't think his voice fits the part.

Whoever it is he plays let the record show that I called it.

I think he might play Zabuza, he'd fit well as him. But who I'd really like to see him as is Lee (only using a softer voice, like in Scry-ed and Chobits).

Fucking VIZ.... I can see it now... Naruto or Sasuke sounding like Inuyasha.... ::sigh:: It would just be better if they had it on Adult Swim and didn't fucking Dub it at all. I mean some anime can be good in English, like Cowboy Bebop for instance cause it didn't specifically involve Japan or Japanese culture, so English was a totally viable language for that series, including the characters in it which weren't necessarilly Asian at all. But Naruto... I don't know... it would be like watching a Miyazaki movie in English.... sure hire big name actors to do the roles....but it still fucking sucks anyways cause of the poor translation (Phil Hartman in Kiki excluded...Phil you kick ass and I know I miss you...). Actually I think the bigger problem is in the translation and not necessarilly the voice acting. But I agree that new talent needs to be acquired, I'm really tired of hearing the same actors over and over and over again. Cause most of the anime voice actors only have "one voice" anyways and sound the same in all the different shows they do! Get a real voice actor like Billy West or Dan Castellaneta who can actually manipulate their voices and not sound like the same freaking person in every project they work on.... ::sigh:: but I guess that's asking for something logical and fresh, and as we know from Network Television and Family Guy's small cutaway about the monotony of network TV, freshness is discouraged, and sometimes met with death by a painting for the mere mentioning of it....
Rhanfahl:
Choosing Richard Cox for Naruto or Sasuke would be a bad dubbing choice. I agree with that. But I don't think they're gonna do it. Despite what you think, anime dubbing studios aren't total idiots. They're not gonna cast a voice without considering the characters (I'm talking about good dubbing studios, we don't know about Viz just yet...).
Also, what do you mean by "Translation"? Most dubbed anime don't have huge translation errors that would ruin the whole show. If anything, they're gonna have to mess with the dialogue a little, but only to synch with the mouths.
I would personally hate to hear Billy West's voice coming out of ANY anime character. And I'd rather have Steve Blum than Homer Simpson (or Principal Skinner, Krusty, etc, if you wanna be technical). I can name quite a few different anime voice actors who use a different tone in their voice for different shows, but that doesn't matter, becuase their voices often fit the characters anyway. And I hope they pick some good ones for Naruto...

I wonder if that guy who does yugi's voice in the american version will do any of the naruto voices. All I know is that when ever I try and watch any saturday morning cartoons I hear his fricking voice everywhere. It's kinda scary. Although I'm guessing he probably won't considering that he's prbably with another studio.
He's with 4Kids, so I'm pretty sure he won't be in Naruto.Originally posted by: LobsterMagnet

I don't know any of the voice actors by name or rep or anything, I just know most of what I've heard of dubbed anime sounds bland, emotionless (or worse, over-embellished emotion) and generally pretty bad. I might watch an ep or two when it comes out, just to see what they do to it, but seeing as we're a couple years ahead in the story... And know the current Japanese VA's are wonderful at what they do... I see no reason to keep up with it on TV. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
