   Death Note Dubs?!


Upon learning that there is to be an English dub of the highly pleasurable Death, Note I of course yearned to hear the cast assigned to each character. Naturally worrying the most about my favorite of all time, L, with Matsuda close in second. People who know me might ask, "Why are you so anxious to hear the voice cast in English? Don't you hate dubs?". My answer would be. I don't hate dubs if they do them right. I just prefer my anime in its original format. Still I always like to hear the voices in English at least once. You might say I like to scoff at the bad jobs they did in choosing. Don't get me wrong, there are a few anime I found containing very nicely done dubs. Such as Witch Hunter Robin, Bubblegum Crisis:Tokyo 2040, and Soul Hunter. These I honestly wouldn't mind having to hear in English if it were called for. Yet, there is something in the Japanese voices that seem to ring a resounding, 'perfect'! Resuming the topic at hand. Just recently the Official Trailers came out and one in particular, that being this one here, reveals L's and Light's voices! I do give credit to the one who does Light. It isn't baaad...BUT, it just is not him! The snippit from L's voice in the trailer seemed to be passible. I will have to wait and see. One thing I am worried about is if they give Matsuda a comic voice like they generally do with his kind of character. Take Taikabou from Sou Hunter as an example. When it comes to picking the right ones Americans are not as good as the experts.

Not much of a news report but once again I am working 2AM in writing this. Must get a better schedule. >.> Oh and while Death Note is the subject at hand, what the hell is everyone pairing up L and Light for?? Come on jack-a-ninnies! They o-b-v-i-o-u-s-l-y H-A-T-E each other. For crying out loud! Light kills L. Sheesh! I feel a report coming on...
