Time of post: 9:35 pm of September 10th
It is time... Here's my review for the premiere of Naruto on CN.
First and foremost, I have the biggest problem with Naruto's voice. I actually thought the little bits I heard during the previews sounded better. And that's kind of impossible since it all came from one source... >_< Iruka's voice was weird when he was shouting, but during normal conversations, I started taking it in better. Sakura's voice was too high-pitched for me, but I guess they decided on that since she was a tad bit perky during the first few episodes. Shikamaru's voice was okay, nothing to comment on that yet, and Ino's was okay too I guess. I think the best one they've done so far was Hinata's. Usually they make the shy and silent ones really high-pitched, but Hinata's voice was actually good. ^_^ As for the Third Hokage, Ebisu, and Konohamaru's voices, they were decent.
Aside from some of the voices, I sincerely thought ShoPro and Viz did a pretty good job with it. ^_^ I was surprised they kept the names and pronunciations right. That was one of the things I was dreading the most. Two thumbs up to them for that. ^^ I was hoping they'd leave the jutsu names alone too, but the translation for those were to be expected. At least their translation for Kage Bunshin no Jutsu was acceptable. It'll get annoying if I keep hearing Naruto say something else. ^_^;; I'm a little nervous about Sasuke's techniques, though. I really hope they keep the Sharingan name as it is. What else can you call it? Ah, and I was really glad they kept some of the Japanese words and terminology. I was practically screaming when I heard Naruto say "Iruka-sensei". ^_^
I'm very happy with Viz and ShoPro now. ^__^ I didn't see any major edits in the show at all. Except for deleting the nosebleeds, which was sort of understandable, there was nothing in particular that they cut out. The blood, one of the show's constant factors, was still there as well.
All in all, I think the dub was at least decent, if not at an okay level. ^_^ So yeah, a good job to the folks at Viz and ShoPro. Of course, these praises may lead to more ranting in the future. (Which might be next Saturday when I finally get to hear Sasuke's voice.) ^_^ Until then, I will continue to like the dub. Hehe.
That's it for me. ^_^ I said there would be a rant from me, and there you have it. I'd love to hear from you guys, of course. This is just my opinion and you're free to agree or disagree anytime. Comments on the show are most welcome. ^_^
Take care, you guys! Have a fantastic rest of the weekend! *hugs everyone tightly*
[random thought bubbles:] It was nice to see the amazing start of the Naruto anime again. ^_^ It's been a long while. I've heard there are 150 episodes to date, and more are still to come. It really is turning into the next DragonBall. ^_^
Thanks for reading! Ja ne!
