TIME: 8:21am, Saturday
Alright! Its critique time! What’s it on? The new YTV lineup. Lemme first say that YTV, Canada’s main cartoon station, has a come a long way this past year in the anime department. We now have new Zatch Bell, YuGiOh GX, Inuyasha, Bleach, Eureka 7, Invader Zim, FMA, and many others. We are also getting Gundam Seed Destiny some time, as reported on the ytv.com website.
Alright, so here’s the beef on Eureka 7 and Bleach. They fucked up E7. Johnny can’t do Renton’s voice well at all. Its incredible dry, and I find it hard to get any emotion out of it. Um, they changed so much of the script. I hated that. They cut out a lot as well, but that’s to be expected, they did that a lot in FMA as well.
Bleach, I have been wanting to talk about this for the entire evening. I actually just finished watching it. Lemme say, the dubbing studio did an excellent job. Despite what I said concerning that little {Adult Swim} commercial on youtube, Ichigo’s voice is very well done. Rukia’s sucks though. Here’s the thing about those two (everyone else’s is nicely dubbed) Ichigo’s angry voice is well done, very well done. His softer tone is very annoying and lame, which was showed on the youtube commercial. Rukia is not as dry and blunt as in the Japanese anime, but her silly voice is great. Regardless, I have always and will always hate Rukia. In general, the dubbing was well done. They didn’t cut much, if anything., All the gore is there, slicing and dicing the hollows in still enjoyable to watch, and just a gore filled. However, I felt that some of the lines they gave Ichigo were cheesy. There were some times where he said stupid things, and the Hollow talking, yeah, that was retarded. Um, what else can I say... Oh, Karin’s name, and how Rukia says “Kuchika” are poorly translated, and bad. I don’t think there is much else. I hope the American’s watching tonight will enjoy it. I actually intend to watch this dub, as it is quite well done. But this is what you can all expect. Be sure to give me your feedback on it when you leave a comment, especially if you are familiar with the sub, and just watched the dub.
Peace people, this was fun to write, and hey, I remembered it all! Yeah! Oh, AFI got the #1 spot on the Much Music countdown this week. Boo - fuckin’ - yah! |
