Yes, yes I was
BWAHAHA
I know I shouldn't judge just from "...wut iz this?" but that voice sucks! I guess we'll really have to wait until Sept. 10 to make a solid judgement.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Why not, do you seriously think it'll get better?Originally posted by: xanbcoo

I think it's fair to judge. That's a horrible fucking voice for Naruto.

i just saw the commercial you guys are talking about and i agree with you guys that voice sounds very bad
... his voice suck... (even if its was just 3 word lol) , oh and yu-gi-oh gx?! lol
2 days away from Naruto's debut on Toonami and here is the updated cast list:
Maile Flanagan as Naruto
Kate Higgens as Sakura
Yuri Lownthal as Sasuke
No reading on the Team 7 VAs. Maile is a noob to anime, and I've never heard the other two...
Dave Wittenberg as Kakashi (he's been in a lot of anime. Chances are you've heard him in some dub or another. Not sure how he will fit kakashi though)
Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Ino/Konohamaru (same as before)
Doug Erholtz as Asuma Sarutobi
Fred Tatasciore as Gato
Kirk Thorton as Tazuna (very nice choice - Kirk is a favorite of mine...also played Jin in the Champloo dub)
Quinton Flynn as Iruka (Raiden from MGS2)
Robbie Rist as Chouji (also played in Initial D)
Steve Kramer as Sandaime Hokage (same as before - generic old guy)
Tom Gibbas as Shikamaru
AND Steven Blum as Zabuza - I'm so happy that they changed this. Blum's voice fits Zabuza 110%, the only drawback is we'll only get to hear his voice for the first season [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
here is where you can find all of this info
And for anyone who has not seen/heard it yet, here is the short clip of the first episode that CN has on their site.
The general consensus so far (from other forums as well) is that it doesn't sound as bad as expected, but you can hear from the clip the acting sounds a little gritty (especially Iruka imo). Many are annoyed that Naruto sounds so young as well.

the one thing thats i hate about it, is the way they are saying naruto...
BioAlien: They are saying Naruto correctly. That is how it is pronounced in Japanese.
But since you're not the fist to make that mistake, I'll bold it for anyone else who thinks it's pronounced Naroooodoh.
Naruto is pronounced correctly in the dub
with the emphasis on the "Na"
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
no.. thats not it... the manner of which they pronounces naruto does not seem normal
the difference lies in the pronounciation of the r..
the US version has the r more in the middle of the mouth, where your tongue takes a slight dive down to let it roll , whereas the japanese one is at the front where you use the tip of your tongue and the teeth.
that's prolly what bugs you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] try pronouncing the two for yourself and see the difference...
the emphasis is definately on the "na" part though
that... and japanese pronounciation is quicker than US english
Yali
THE DUB SUCKS SO FAR
(more info later)
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
To me, the only sucky parts is the voice of Naruto, and some of the pronuciation. Otherwise, it's pretty good so far.
For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.
Oh yea I just watch both Eps and I have to say listening to Naruto voice is starting to make me want to kill myself. I know woman does alot of younger boys voices in anime and whatnot but damn don't just let me know that a woman doing the voice for the starts.
I was just saying that to get it off my chest.
I'll edit this post later when I listen to it again and can make a better judgement. Right now I'm just in shock because I'm so disappointed it's not completely awesome.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
lol they should of used ashs voice from pokemon that voice would of fit naruto better
or maybe the guy that does higes voice on wolfs rain
Naruto's dub voice is good, you people are morons.
They are justified though. You seem to be pretty optimistic, calling it "one of the best dubs"...actually, it's not that great so far. My concern as of now is not the voices themselves (hey, Naruto's voice ain't that bad), but rather the acting that makes it seem so damn corny.Originally posted by: mage

OK I think Naruto's voice is a good pitch, it's scratchyness kinda mimics his Japanese voice, but it lacks the raw "kick" you get from the Japanese counterpart.
Well I saw the premiere of the two episodes and I have to say that they are doing a pretty good job with it so far.
The sexy jutsu and blood aren't edited. I was worried that they would cut out those parts.
The justus have english names. But I was expecting that anyway. They call them justus instead of attacks though.
Now the biggest flaw in dubs. Voices:
They're good. Instead of just reading their lines only, the VA's add some emotion to their characters and the voices aren't half bad except for Naruto's. Its the scratchyness. I don't know what dub anime companies have with scratchy voiced kids.
