IMO, I think you do need to watch Samurai X after watching the first two seasons of Rurouni Kenshin. RK sets you up so you see the aftermath of Samurai X. You "bond" with the characters, see them develop, etc. And then you watch Samurai X and see why Kenshin became what he was in RK. If you just watch Samurai X with no RK, then I feel like you're missing out of Kenshin's character. I'm glad you're going to give Samurai X another chance after watching Kenshin. Watch the Kyoto arc, then watch the OVAs. I hope you like it better the second time around! |

Speaking of Japanese dubs of English shows, I went to nickjapan.com to see what the Japanese dubs of Nick shows are like... I will tell you this:
Dora teaches English. (Well, more like engrish... Meex! Meex! Chocolayt!) Patrick sounds like a girl. |

I scrolled through here a bit and it seems like just about everything being listed as "overrated" are just things that are popular. They get popular for a reason, even if you (no one specific, general 'you') didn't like it.
I went and looked at ANN's "top 10" thing where they list the overrated in there, and no one has mentioned those series, except Pokemon, I think. So either they're figuring out "overrated" wrong in the encyclopedia, or... I dunno, I just thought it was funny. |

Suited as Guilmon? Are you joking? He sounded like an old woman.

No kidding. Isn't it a rule to change the seiyuu to a male actor when a male character becomes 17? Why they kept Goku with Nozawa all the way to adulthood I'll never know. I know the U.S. dub is crappy, but at least a guy actor made more sense. |

Anyone thinking that the new eva movie will be that announcement? Yeah somebody might have said that already in this thread but I didn't look through it though.

As far as Case Closed goes I haven't seen the TV series. I love the manga but being in the UK means that to see the series I need to buy Region 1 and I don't really want to buy without knowing if it will ever end.
Case closed may be a little repetitive but that can't be helped. The nature of the series will naturally mean that similar stories will be used. I would like the chance to see the series but don't know if it is worth spending out on a series that may never be completed. |

A. Zac's getting married? B. ANN has decided to begin licensing anime? C. A new column?! D. None of the above. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet but Green Legend Ran has a pretty bad English dub. Possibly the writing in general is just bad but I've only seen the first 37 minutes with the English dub, bah, if the Japanese isn't better I'm not sure I can respect this title at all. |

Yeah absolutely, I'd post it on my DA and stuff... Ok this is a really big long shot because I'm sure there must be dozens of Wing Goddesses on the net but are you the one who went as Hitomi at Anime North one year? |

I couldn't watch it at all, I watched about 5 minutes of it and had to turn it off.
That I can agree with. I think the only person that I think actually did well was the VA for Kitami. But it's ok to watch if you want a good laugh or see the many parodies on youtube. The script was entirely butchered with F-bombs and different words for private parts. x_x But it has gotten better within the 2nd season. A LOT better, and actually stays in with the script. Oh well...if I think of a really bad dub that isn't hentai, I would have to say, Peach Girl. I just... tried my best to listen but...I just didn't like it as much. My heart still cried for Momo to be voiced by Kelly Sheridan... x.x In a way, I wished Viz picked it up, but I guess shoujo anime isn't picked up by Viz too often. |

which is weird since Viz puts out a shojo magazine.

I thought of another example of bad dubbing, though I'm not quite sure if it counts as "dubbing"....I'm talking about some of the voice-overs I've heard in trailers for anime. It seems they don't always bother to teach the announcers how to pronounce Japanese names. The other day I watched a trailer for "Happy Lesson", and the announcer kept pronouncing the main character's name, which is "Chitose", like "Cheetos" or something. And there was a trailer I saw for "The Wallflower" where the announcer was trying to say "bishounen", but the 'bi' was pronounced like it would be in "biennial" or "bisexual." Come on, how hard is it for a director to tell them how to pronounce these things?

Maybe they shouldn't speak in fragmented Japanese to begin with? |
