Sand voices are great. Especially Gaara's. Put him in dubbed, and he's still one of the coolest cincal guys around!

I like the Sand siblings too. And Temari sounds hot.

I haven't watched it yet, but I know the voice actor quite well and I agree. He's got the perfect tone to play Gaara (second only to Legato's English VA).Originally posted by: God#2

According to ANN, Michael Lindsay is playing Kankuro. That's pretty cool. I know him best from Digimon. He was Joe.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Yep... Rock Lee's name remains Rock Lee in the English version.
[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] ...the voices were actually good. Wow I have to give it to them for keeping Neji badass even in the american dub
R.I.P Captain America.
Yah, I watched it last night on YTV and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought o.O. Although Kankuro's voice just sounded retarded and when Iruka transformed into that guy for chuunin exam thing he was like " Muahahaha you'll never get the girl back! " I mean he sounded like a kids cartoon villian >.> and Naruto's voice was still annoying, but everyone else seemed pretty good.
I can tell you one thing. No subbers will be black.
You guys see sumthing here? eh? eh?
I actually watched the lates episode I'm glad that they pronounced Gaaras name correctly
What's the big deal anyway... I've seen your other threads about why there aren't black people in Naruto, but that's like saying there weren't any Asian people in Saving Private Ryan.Originally posted by: Mizuchi

They don't fit in the scenery and where it's taking place.
I'm pretty unimpressed with the nw VA;s.. you'd think Neji would sound less bland and more serious, and Lee doesn't sound goofy enough. Tenten is pretty good though.
Next episode: Gai-sensei!!!

Oh shit, I love the voices for everyone so far.
Though my favorites would have to be Gaara's and Kurenai's. After actually hearing Liam O'Brian as Gaara, I think he's just as good as the Japanese VA, and is just fucking perfect in the role (so far, at least). He's got that evil, dry tone to his voice. Love it. Kurenai's voice actress is a personal favorite of mine. Anyone who's watched Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex will recognize her as Major Makoto Kusanagi. I love this woman's voice, and she's an awesome actress. A sexy voice for a sexy character [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Rock Lee...meh, it's not bad or annoying, but I had a hard time distinguishing it from Neji's. The two are too similar, so I hope the actors can add something to the characters by the time they receive more attention later in teh series. Funny enough, I thought Lee's VA sounded similar to Steven Blum (Zabuza), which is who I said should have played him back in the first post of this topic.
Temari's actress does sound hot, at Azazel said. But I think Tenten's voice is too mature for her body. Other than that, she sounds ok...not that Tenten gets any attention in this show anyway.
Edit:
I got the same impression. Lee has such a goofy Japanese voice that is perfect for the character, but this guy sounds rather...normal. Also, Neji's voice isn't nearly as deep as it is in Jp. I always thought that was a really nice touch and really worked well, so I hope that even though the American voice sounds "bland" as you say, he can make up for it in acting ability.I'm pretty unimpressed with the nw VA;s.. you'd think Neji would sound less bland and more serious, and Lee doesn't sound goofy enough.

Kankuro's voice acting was kinda bad in this episode....
And the dialogue in general sucked as well....
Although for the latter, I can't say it was much better in the japanese version either. Lame filler.

Was I the only one who psysically cringed when Asuma mispronounced Shikamaru. I mean, other characters can get it right, why not him?
I have to restate my love for Kakshi's VA and say that both Temari and Gaara's VA's are made of win and gold.
I can't wait to see Lee waste Sasuke next episode. I really enjoyed it the first time round and I can't wait to see it again.
While I'm still up in the air about Rock Lee's presentation here, I will admit that I'm very glad that they didn't go overboard with his voice eccentricities- Yes, his Japanese version is very hyper and full of (the curry of) life, but I can hear in my mind how bad it very well could have been if the voice director had gone for an "Off the wall" voice for Lee.
He has a lot more dialogue next episode, so that should give a better idea of how he'll be done.
Temari sounds too Valley-girlish to me. That "I'm an airhead" tone to it. It's not a very strong tone, but I feel it's there. Oh well, we'll see.
Same with me. I heard lots of speculation that they might use the voice actor they are currenlty using for Chouji (or one similar to him - like the guy who does Keitaro in Love Hina: Derek Prince). He's got a sorta nasaly voice, which would have been really annoying. I hope this guy pulls off Lee's character well next episode.Originally posted by: Jurojin

I also heard Temari's "Valley girl" voice in last week's episode, but it disappeared during this one, so I don't think it'll be a problem for the rest of the series.

Well it is not as bad as some other serries on cartoonnet work that have aired. I think that Narutos voice should have been done by some one better. ( side note by me =^_^ = ) even though i have a German accent. O_O Sasukes voice i think sounds to adult for his age, but who's does not ? I think they forgot they are only 12 after all except the Teachers and adults in the serries. who of which Kakashi and Iruka sensei are 26ish when it opens. It cant be as bad as X-men evolution where Kurt also voiced Maxwell from Hamtaro O_O which is probably like Naruto in a since, that hamtaros probably better in Japanese like Naruto is. I try to watch as little of the english as possible if i can. Japanese rock so much better even if i have to peek at the sub titles here and there. ^_ ^
I like how Rock Lee's voice was presented in this episode, he's kind of like Data, in that he doesn't use any contractions. And Gai-sensei is just awesome, his voice is perfect and his dialogue is absolutely hilarious.
Gai:"I'm sorry for the trouble Lee caused you. Look into my eyes and except my sincere apology. Also notice my handsome, manly features."
Gai is the man
Gais voice is PERFECT.
I completely burst out in hysterical laughter watching the scene where Gai came out from under the turtle and punished/hugged lee.
"I punish you by ordering you to do 1000 laps.... Run into the setting sun! Run and suffer! But don't mess up your hair!"
They got Gais voice to sound almost like that Naruto sex ed video.
they even put the dog sounding like Lee in there. Greatest VA EVA
R.I.P Captain America.
Ya, but lee spoke like a fucking Robot. Is his VA a retartd?
