*sigh*

I remember back in the good old days when we were happy just to GET dubbed anime on TV, and damn the quality of the translations and voice acting! Sailor Moon's voice list changed three times during the fist season alone, but did anyone really care?

NO.

Why? Because there are still people in the world who have no idea that anime comes from Japan, or can only watch what's available on TV. Mostly these are the younger kids, but still. People who complain about the quality of dubs often forget that the animation voice-over industry in japan is a respectable, well-paying job that hordes of rabid fans would love to get into. Here in the States, and other countries, doing voices for a cartoon--anime or not--is one of the lowest paying, crappiest jobs you can get, unless you're working for Disney or Pixar.

Yeah, certain dubs are just awful sometimes. But you ever notice they're always for shows that are really long, and being put on the air at rapid pace (Naruto, DBZ, One Piece)? Shorter shows like Cowboy Bebop have more time in their production schedule for voice actors to work with. They can afford to take an extra week to tweak things just right for an episode. But when you have a deadline to meet, sometimes good enough has to be good enough. So before you go complaining about hos dubs suck, remember that we used to get things like Robotech, where they didn't just redo a couple lines, they rewrote the entire damn story and spliced in two more series to try and make it longer!

It could be worse. The Anime industry could crack down on raw providers in japan, and then you'd never have fansubs again. Nothing but the dvds that get released in your country. So if you hate the dub so much, suck it up and watch something else. No one is forcing you to stare at your TV all day. Go read a manga, or better yet go outside and get some sunshine!

Well at least they are not making it worse with obvious edits and so forth.

No dude trust me, I wish to have the old cast back.

Keep zolo though. Everyone else sucks major monkey turds.

Remember Sanji's accent? You will know his new voice sucks ass right away with the new episodes.

Anyways, 4Kids was fired and the new dubbing is made from FUNimation. Everyone is happy but me, I hate the new Voices.



Everyone loves it cept me.

Wait....How could it possible have gotten worse?

The quality of the One Piece dub has been known to be one of the worst ever. I only saw a bit of an episode...Before I see how much worse its gotten, I'll wait for my hearing to return from the last time.

Luffy is like 450X more annoying. I want the old Luffy back damnit.

In fact, everyone is annoying. Only thing I like now is Zolo, reminds me of that picolo from DBZ

Your thoughts on it?
