how annoying is it when fans call good dubs bad?

Actually, it's more like "Naru-toe".
The 'Nah' and 'Ru' are more together.
Same with "Shikamaru"
It's not "Shee-kaah-maa-ruu"
It's "Sheeka-maaru", more or less.
The American isn't that good at pronoucing the names.
Atleast they dosnt say "Sas-oo-kay".
Like my best friends dad.

I don't even like Naruto, anymore.
It got WAY to popular, WAY to fast.

I pronounce it Shihka-maru. >_>

Sas-kay. The u is practically silent. And I used to say Sas-soo-kee. >_>

about that, on lots of forums i have actualy found a bunch of narutard complaining that they prinounced sasuke as sah skay (or something like that) saying it's wrong, when it actualy is correct! i even think i remember reading one person saying something like "soon dubbies will be comming to this thread calling him sah skay" an my thought are "how can you tell how they pronounced the names? it's a forum, the spelling still stays the same"

and uh Hikozaru390, ya the BGM is important, although it's true with DBZ that giving it rock music seemed to fit, the origonal music would have been a bit better! or do i need to remind you of One Piece, the show with rap singing pirates? and as far as uncut DVDs go, i think it is important cause that way it shows the company isn't afraid to show us the origonal, so it is important!
 
Who cares how names are pronounced! Do any of you guys play One Piece Grand Adventure and hear Ohm and Eneru's voice? They sound great to me!

Also where is the UK? I know its United Kingdoms, but where is it?

Are the new One Piece episodes in the UK in english? Where are they currently at in the series in the UK?

Thats pretty much what I said.
Shi and Shee are pronounced the same.

And its not kee.
that makes it sounds like "key"
I am fully aware the u is silent. I hardly watched the dub.
I only watch dubs to make fun of changed dialouge.

god shut up people can watch One Piece how they want, don't force fansubs on anyone.

I actually agree. I think the Japanese version is better (from what I've seen), but I still watch the dub. If people want to watch the dub version, they can.

I agree again with Justin here, as much as a OP dub hater i am, i don't push it. I recommend it, but i don't push it on people like it seems he to be doing.

Anyway, it irks me to know end when people call a good dub bad for no reason, to people making a generalization that all dubs are bad. Sure, there are SOME bad dubs *coughonepiececough* but not all dubs are bad.

I for one love the Trigun and Cowboy Bebop dubs FAR more than their original counterparts; and i HAVE heard the originals (for those who wish to blame 'you were grown up to those voices!' people) and i didn't have a lot of liking to the way the voice's meld to the character's as i did with the American dub.
 
i would like to add as far as dubs that are better then the subs go, that i think Yu Yu Hakusho's dub was somewhat better then the sub, cause like you said about Trigon and CB, the voices were so dead on perfect in the dub! especialy with Hiei, Chuck Huber did an awsome job voicing Hiei. truth be told when i saw that YYH movie, the one not dubbed by FUNimatin, with different voices, i couldn't stant watching the dub due to the voices being different! but the dub is so great, not a single charactor had an unfitting voice! anyone else aggree on that?

I accept if somebody calls them bad, if they give a good opinion, though.

I agree.


What seems to annoy me are the people who instantly say Japanese is better, i actually get more from dubbed, for one i dont have to read subtitles, and two i actually can unserstand them. ANother thing that annoys me is when people sat the original voices are better, i dont see how they can think that, its quite hard to tell what mood they are in, were dub voices seem to have more tone in it, but thats my opinion.

I try to watch dubbed whenever possible.......As long as you enjoy it, who cares =/

On the other hand, you could watch Japanese episodes without subtitles.

On the other hand, that's what subtitles are for. XD

It really depends on the voices you are comparing. Sometimes the Japanese voices have more emotion, and sometimes it's the opposite.

Tru' dat to the second part.

The problem with this thread is that dub quality is in the eye of the beholder. So people don't agree with your opinions that the Naruto or the Bleach dub is awesome. So what? At the end of the day, does that really matter? Does it impede your enjoyment of the dub? Or is it just used as a talking point to be used in threads like these that segregate anime fans based on their preference in voice actors?
True, but it's merely how they endow their opinion upon others that's bedeviling to some.

Sure, they can have those opinions but the way they present them can lower the tolerance level of some. Stating that they don't like the dub is fair enough as it's stating their opinion without berating the people that actually enjoy the dub about the "crap" that they're watching - While them stating that the dub cuts everything, without explaining what they are, and ruins the series beyond the level of One Piece (I'm pointing at you, Naruto fans) when they haven't seen the dub is just plain ridiculous. Heck, some haven't seen the One Piece dub either, yet automatically say it's bad without actual reason to support their opinion, only saying it's bad to support the accumulation of fans that believe that all dubbed anime, whether in progress of coming into the country they're being dubbed in or already came, are bad (because we all know that 4 or 5 "bad dub" on TV = anime). Pointing out things that are translated correctly as being "mistranslated" because it wasn't how their precious fansubbers translated it, which that is a mistranslation, is utterly idiotic too. Esspecially when they have to not know any Japanese at all to watch their precious illegal fansubs (which would probably get discontinued after the product is licensed).

Really, for example, if someone said that sadistic pedophiles deserved the rights to get married to prepubescent children (and possibly sexually abuse them) and legalize underage marriage - stated it as an opinion - would you let it slide because they stated it as an opinion (of course this is to a different degree, but it's an opinion nonetheless)? Of course you need evidence to back up you're opinion (unless it was a small opinion that is true to the individual, such as not liking something) or else the "opinion" is seen as less factual then the the opposite.
 
I agree.

Great post I agree with you 100% on this.

Why are you so annoying? All he asked was if anyone heard Eneru and Ohm's dub voices. He didn't ask for lip.

But, to answer your question, GhostMaster27, the UK finished the Alabasta arc and started to go into reruns.

You are right. *fixes post to what I meant to say*

I watch dubs because my computer doesn't run fansubs, and I like hearing the English language.

I don't watch One Piece at all.
