hey I just had the funniest revalation..... if they were to translate the japanese jokes it would screw everything up for example::
Naruto:First you have to know about brown tiger stiped cat...
Konohamaru: You mean Chakra?
Naruto:Yea..That's what I meant i was just testing you...
---they will destroy it, grrr!!!!!!!
and Eric Stuard is mean!!!!!

if the guy who plays shinji ever plays another voice again that i have to hear i will shoot myself. his voice kinda has that effect on me. (at least, in eva.) Anyway, im gonna give the same spiel I always give on these disscussions, which is basically that im sure ill like the english way better because its in my language that I grew up with, japanese is not and therefore, lame. So yay for me. OH WAIT! I forgot, I hate Naruto, so I dont care. (no seriously, I really forgot that. see, I used to like it, but now I hate it, so im not in that state of mind completely yet.) uhh...yeah....

Hatake Kakashi · 08-18-2005, 01:38 AM

Yeah. Hey, thanks for contributing to the convo. Or something.

All in all, I'm a bit worried about this series. I enjoyed the fansubs... at least while ANBU had them, and am PRAYING that at least someone with an appreciation for the art that is anime will take control here. It would turn out really well if the guys who did Bebop got ahold of the direction for creative influence. Bebop was a perfect example of what happens to an anime when the company cares more about the product than about selling more and more gimmicks and toys.

BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Guess what! Viz (the company that gained the license for the North American release of Naruto) has officially released the voice actor list! And its NONE of the actors we've all been gabbing about!!!! Narutofan.com has the skinny! Click HERE to gape at the juicy details! And if you want to look up the history behind each of these voice actors, go here and copy/paste their name in the search box to find out their resumes...

Again, AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS> Oh, but Steve Blum is on the cast, just not as Kakashi --- just so that anal retentive bastards don't nit-pick me about it.

PSS> Oh....and mah sister is a MORON!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!! I just had to say that 'cause she so damn popular and all! Errrrr...*runs and hides*

BlackMageGirl! · 08-26-2005, 05:52 PM

I would like to point out that my sister is a meanie head. =P

On-topic: I do have to give her the credit for this find, though it's like pulling out my teeth sayin it. What I like is that most of the voice actors in this APPROVED SUPER SPECIAL LIST!!! (or so says Sanbai) aren't the same recycled anime voice actors you would normally hear. They're pulling in new talent, and I'm quite interested in hearing well they turn out. And quite hopeful.

And the unhopeful have become hopeful. That is all.

I think I'll keep on getting it the way I have been getting my Naruto and One Piece.

I have a friend who "gets" them, he makes a DVD, and we have a tri-weekly marathon of like whatever anime we he "got".

Fabricated · 09-10-2005, 08:37 PM

Just watched the first episode.

Naruto's voice is kinda annoying, but it's not the same man-boy voice that 99.9% of translated anime gets. He actually sounds something like a kid.

The translation seems alright. Typical sentence order changes for lip-sync, and only the Jitsus seemed to have given a generic name (Shadow Clone Jitsu, etc). Can't expect people who don't know Japanese to understand what the hell "Kage Bunshin no Jitsu" means, especially since he screams it 500 times an episode.

Of course, sub snobs will hate it.

Hatake Kakashi · 09-10-2005, 09:09 PM

Eh. The voices were alright... so far. I did appreciate the restraint used in editing the eps... from what I can tell, the only thing really missing is some of the language and blood from the nosebleed gag. Other than that, they've been fair with it... at least for the first 2 eps.

Kinda wish they'd have released more though. They've got it on for 2 hours tonight, but it's the same 2 eps twice. Bah. From what I heard from the clips, Kakashi didn't get Blum for a voice, a pity to be sure, so it makes me wonder if he'll be voicing someone like Orochimaru instead.

Overall, yeah, I'm a sub-snob, but I'll keep watching when I get the chance. I want to see how the rest of this translation goes. Don't expect that I'll be giving up my collection of downloaded subs though.

Edit: Finally got to looking at that list Sanbai-chan provided (sorry, I know it's bad form, but I couldn't resist.). Zabuza is an awesome character and all, I just think it's a pity that he and Haku had such short tenures in the series. Looks like they'll be going through some of their best voice talent rather quickly.

I'm not disappointed. After what 4kids did to Shaman King and One Piece's voiceovers and editing, I'm glad Viz kept this to themselves and got decent voice actors. I have to agree with Fabricated on Naruto's voice, but, again, it's better than what happened to Luffy and Yoh. I have to praise them for leaving "Genin", "Jonin", "Hokage", "jutsu", and, presumably, "Chunin" alone. They also did a decent job translating jutsus.

I must ask, though, did Naruto say "Believe it!" so often in the Japanese dub?

EDIT: Oh, and SABB's conerns about the chakra joke were unneeded--
"First, you gotta know about cat-tra"
"Uh, don't you mean 'chakra?'"
"Don't question me! And all the cool ninja say 'cat-tra!'"

Kakashi of the NPF, Blum will be Zabusa. EDIT: And, like the jonin you are, you ninja edited me
