I'm kinda happy with it, it works. Except the lady who is doing Naruto, which is a huge letdown. Here is some of her voice work

You be the judge. I can easily see her as doing Naruto, but I'm not happy with it. Then again, I would never be anyway, so it isn't a big deal.

A girl doing Naruto is bad, no matter what.

And it's way funny how all the respectable voice actors are obscure characters. I'm definitely not watching this.

That's kinda how anime works -_-

See, only in Japan can people get away with doing opposite gender roles. I wish the woman who did Naruto in Japan spoke fluent english; I'd completely sh[i]t myself if that were possible.

I won't be watching either, except perhaps the first few to see the damage.

Same here. Although, curiosity has a tendency to kill cats. :x

Which is why I prefer the subbed versions a lot more. If anything I'll buy this on DVD and watch it all subbed, anything is better than watching the dubbed version.




Posted by Arczu

I wonder how people who don't even originally know the anime will see it? Something decent?

I wonder if this catches all the people who don't know about it, but it ends up getting popular anyway. That would be something. Good or bad is the problem.

But the voice actors... they better do their job at the very least to be believeable. None of this "Oh... uh well I guess.." crap when their mouth is CLEARLY saying more.

Why does every ****ing person in Digimon end up working on other animes? Seriously.

However, I *love* Steven Blum, he is an awesome voice actor.

Now here is where I got ****ed: Dave Wittenberg. Henry = Kakashi? If he sounds REMOTELY like the Digimon character I will lead the crusade against Cartoon Network. And more then two people better show up.

Because casting agencies have a high tendency to recast people over and over and over again if they have a large resume. Also, my guess is that the same casting agency that was responsible for Digimon was responsible for Zatch Bell, which is responsible for Naruto, thus it all lines up,



Posted by Mystic Hero

Actually a lot of the same voice actors play many roles in different anime, not just these few mentioned. I'm sure you can recognize voices on anime that haven't been aired on TV yet. I can tell apart a lot of the same voices. And it is true, many casting agencies do recast after recast of the same people over and over again for many different animes. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same agency that does the casting for all the anime dubbed versions out there. After a while I got sick of the lame voice actors and just stopped all together with the dubbed versions. I'm strictly subbed now, I find it more enjoyable. I don't have to worry about any of the actors casting parts that don't suit them.

Does Sasuka's english voice-over do the voice of Haru in Ravemaster?

Hmm, I just checked. He does, and he sounds so Monotone, it makes me laugh after I finished watched the first 79 episodes in japanese this week.

...and he didn't in those O.o?

Did anyone see naruto last sat on cartoon network..is whats his face dead or not?(srry im terrible at names)

Quoting Velvet Nightmare: ...and he didn't in those O.o?

Well if you mean in the Japanese Naruto... I can't really tell, I don't understand it, and Im reading subtitles. If thats what you meant. But if he did, Im betting its worse in the English Naruto.


Quoting gOdOfWaR: Did anyone see naruto last sat on cartoon network..is whats his face dead or not?(srry im terrible at names)

Man, I bet you LOVE spoilers. But no, Sakura uses her magical tears to make him come back from hell... At least thats what she said. Stupid Sasuke, Tricks are for kids. And Oh man, They totally ruined Naruto... He sounds like a dog in that episode. He doesn't do that in the japanese one.



Posted by Velvet Nightmare

Luckily, I can understand the Japanese, and it is pretty annoying. Very monotone, which is fine, but it gets old FAST. I think they're both about the same

And I'm guessing you're talking about ep 17, right? Most of that part of season 1 was edited for CN because of the amount of gore, you guys probably missed a lot. He does sound like a dog, but remember - that's okay. He is taking the form of a demon fox. They did a similar thing in the japanese version, made the woman doing to voice of him sound more spastic and angry. More raspy, you know.




Posted by NightmareBassX

Yeah, I watched the Japanese one. I like it much better then the english. But they do make him sound like a dog, I mean... If they are going to make him sound like that, making him drool would fit it MUCH better. I've seen 79 episodes in japanese. My friend let my borrow the 6 first volumes of the Japanese Naruto. I like them alot, I hope he has the 7th volume.

I didn't like how they don't make Naruto's eyes turn red and "Foxish" after the Orochimaru episode. I liked it alot when they turned red, made him look cool. Ahh well, the fight with Neji near the end was still pretty cool.




Posted by Velvet Nightmare

Don't worry, you haven't even seen Naruto's true form. The eyes and nails are nothing.

Heh, for that matter, you also haven't seen Sasuke's true form either. But you'll have to wait until about ep 130 for that.




Posted by NightmareBassX

My friend who let me borrow the volumes actually was talking about when Naruto fought Sasuke, Saying that it depends on how many "tails" he has out, determines his strength from the nine-tails. And Sasuke's true form? Does it have to do with the Cursed seal?




Posted by Velvet Nightmare

How many tails he has out? How silly! It's just how much Kiyubi is released; not a matter of tails. And yes, the true form is hidden in the seal.

Stupid Sasuke...! Is he evil in the true form?

Quoting NightmareBassX: Stupid Sasuke...! Is he evil in the true form?


Mmm....debateable.



Posted by Xenos

I have a question, in some sites it seems to say that Naruto was a normal person and had a fox sealed in him? Or is he the fox itself?

I don't watch it episode from episode, I just study in a lounge and see some people watch it, so I just lean on their shoulders to look at it every now and then.

4th Hokage sealed the fox into Naruto when he was young.

Debatably his father, as well. Depends on how much of the series you have seen/read.
