My friend Dan's take on it: "Ok seriously, if Naruto isn't in the scene several males could be talking, I could close my eyes, and I'd have no idea who is who"

So Rock Lee's voice isn't that good huh?
Well then it's offical now.
Bo-bobo is the best dub on Toonami.
Rock Lee was my saving grace for Naruto and by giving him a generic voice just doesn't make it right.
-
I dont mind Rock Lee's voice.
though evryones starting to have those emo voices…
sasuke, gaara, and rock lee.. geez.
-
It's not that it's a bad voice, it just doesn't stand out. Which is the problem.
-
It's not terrible, but I agree it is very generic. I'll wait till next week's episode and see how it goes….
-
Not bad, not bad.
Lee's voice isn't bad, it's pretty good, it's just that it doesn't give off that nostalgic feeling the original does. You guys are right, the voices are two generic.
The Sand nin's voices are great, I just think Temari sounds a little two preppy. And why do she and Ten Ten always talk about hotties, and why do they sound exactly the same?
-
Ahh, my friends. Give the dub a chance; people were complaining about Flanagan initially, and now she's pretty much respected. The same goes for Wittenburg, the voice of Kakashi. I seem to remember people saying "God he sucks" during the couple grunts he issued forth in the first couple episodes.
Viz learns from its mistakes, and is striving to make this a good series.
…
Viz's take on Temari is too adolescent. She's young, yes, but she's got maturity way beyond her teen years. Her voice is good, no doubt, but a tad of mature inflection couldn't hurt.
Kankuro is voiced by the guy who did Joe in Digimon. Not bad, though he could be a tad more older sounding. His voice doesn't quite fit his body, yet does, in a strange way.
Lastly, Gaara…I was expecting something horrible, especially since people have said DNA^2 had a horrible dub, and the actor for Gaara played Junta. I almost cracked my pants when I hear him. He's perfect.
The disappointment was, as many have said, Neji and Rock Lee. They sound simmilar and are too generic, but man, we should give them time to spread their wings a bit more! Lee sounded good in a heightened emotion state (excited to see Sakura, then depressed), but his normal talk isn't too exciting yet. We'll just have to see how things play out. Viz hasn't let us down yet.
-
My take on the voices….
Gaara: As many have said... Perfect. Bone chilling and cool in every way.
Kankuro: Ehh... It's alright. It works.
Temari: She sounded a little valley girlish at first, but now it's fine.
Rock Lee: The voice isn't bad... Just that it's a tad too generic for Rock Lee, of all people. But that whimpish "Why?" he said because of Sakura's refusal to be his girlfreind was good, so I think he'll improve.
Neji: He also sounds too generic. But then again... His voice in the original was WAY too deep for a 12 year old so... This might actually be a good thing.
Tenten: Her voice is good, but does it reallly matter? She hardly does a thing.
-
I was riding the 42B back home when I had an epiphany. Everyone, gather around, and listen to ol' Terek say somethin'.
We should petition Viz to hire MAKO as the voice of GAMABUNTA. Maybe with a bit of voice distortion (like with Naruto's Kyuubi state) would be needed, but otherwise…HE'S PERFECT-O.
-
It's official, Gai-sensei sounds like elvis. Coincidentally, this would probably be the best voice for Franky in America.
-
You know, I don't much like Lee's voice when he's serious, but I'm rather fond of the new dialouge they threw in here and there. =D
-
I loved Gai's voice. And the turtle's!
Ah, for some reason I turned off the TV mid-episode and forgot to turn it back on! So I missed Gai's talking about being Kakashi's rival.
-
I just saw tonight's episode. I see why people like Rock Lee and it did make the series much more interesting.
BTW, is it Rock Lee's haircut or was he born without ears?XD
-
no he has ears they show it in the 10th vol. anyway lees normal voice could use some improvement its kinda too low. Tho gai was perfect
-
Lee has distinguish enough to make him a good "main" as it were. Just a bit more practice, I think, and the actor will be as good as Flanagan, whom I've noticed has gotten much better! :D
Gai was perfect, as was the Turtle, although I'm a bit disappointed because the Turtle only appears once. Kind of a waste of a good voice, like Mizuki in the pilot.
Haha, nice stuff.
-
Lee still needs work, but Gai is freakin' perfect.
-
Gai is hilarious!!
"now run, run! Out into the sunset … but don't mess up your hair" - Gai
And Naruto's voice was the best when he was blabbering about the turtle.
ah, best episode by far. :D
-
Holy SHIT!!!! Gai's voice actor did Vicious in Cowboy Bebop. That is soo awesome!!!
-
To me, the Naruto dub was descent.:) Naruto's dub voice is okay, exept it's a bit scrachy. I think the reason why most people find his voice being irritating is that it sounds a lot like dub Luffy talking. The voices that I heard so far were okay, exept Sakura sounds a bit dorky:(. Hopefully it'll improve later in the series.:)
-
Naruto's a descent dub. Viz kept most of the blood in. The voices were pretty good. Ninjas are sooo cool. I'm surprised that they kept the Sexy Jutsu thing:blink:. Man, there are going to be complaints from soccer moms, but if the show really offends them that much, just simply don't let their kids watch it.
-
is there a way to lay a hand over any ep of naruto's dub online?

thanks! that's plenty enough. thanks to jubin, too. i basically want to watch how this dub is handled, so one or 2 eps will do.
-
I think everyone was so overwhelmed by the horrible One Piece episode, this week's Naruto was overlooked.
It seems Shikamaru might have a new VA; I am not entire sure. Everyone sounds fine except for Ino and Kabuto; Ino sounds too simmilar to Sakura (thinking back to Carter's quip about closing one's eyes and trying to associate voices) and Kabuto is a tad young sounding, but otherwise everything's cool.
-
I was going to give up on Naruto, because it wasn't anything "must see" about it, but this new storyline has got me very interested. Unless there is something very inappropriate, we shouldn't obsess over the voices and just relax and enjoy the show.:biggrin:
-
Do you keep up with the storyline in Japan? Many think this current arc, the "Chuunin Exam", is the pinnacle of Naruto, much like how Alabasta was the peak of OP prior to Water 7. Following this, we have a great (but not superior) arc dubbed the "Rasengan Arc", and a good (but not great) follow up called the "Sasuke Rescue Arc". After that…Naruto isn't worth mentioning. Massive filler, a pathetic time skip arc...bleh.
-
I liked the time skip… though the fillers do suck, I argee. Anyway. The dub is looking good still, Kiba voice was really good, and Choujis new voice was alot better. Kabuto was good, but could have been better.
-
There's a whole thread on ANN talking about how they think the dub sucks. I hear comments like "Rock Lee sounds like a robot." and "Sakura sounds like that orange-haired girl from One Piece". Narutards are pretty hard to please. I actually like the voices. The only one that kind of could be better is Naruto's.

This post is deleted!
-
have no idea what number episode i was watching but this is all i saw(the last 15 minutes)
1. Sasuke had this weird pattern on his face that glowed red
2. the other two ninjas were Dosu and Zaku.(song/note clan?)
Tomorrows episode has something to do with Garra(sp?)
I love the next episode panels…
-
Wow, bump-o. Hasn't the dub discussion mainly moved into the main Naruto thread?
-
Wow, bump-o. Hasn't the dub discussion mainly moved into the main Naruto thread?
have no clue.I pmed a Mod about a dub thread and apparently this was the thread I got
does anyone know if i am wathcing a beginning episode or in the middle of the series?
-
You're probably around episode 40-50. Don't remember much, but that sounds right.
-
I have to say I think the voices sound better then what I heard in the few Japanese episodes I watched (around 30 or so).
It may be because they have voices from Digimon, which is a big nostalgic trip.
-
cant wait to see the naruto film
"Ninja Clash in the land of snow"not sure what number film is dubbed
-
It's the 1st Film.
-
@Komrade:
It's the 1st Film.
thank you and sorry for not replying back earlier.
Ok so two battles are starting on the Dub. Shino Vs Zaku and tonight's episode focuses on the other battle:Kakashi vs Orochimaru.
Kakashi voice makes him sound normal…thats all I can say about his voice
-
Bumped so KaizokuFan22 and others who follow the dub have a better place to post about it.
-
Thanks, so yeah, the Naruto movie r0x0rs!!!
-
-
Ok that whole episode was Spooky
the scne with the hundred itachis and his whole jutsu powers and wih the background of the orange sky and red moon was freaky.questions:
What Was Jiraya called in the original? in the dub Naruto called him a Pervy Sage.
2.*SPOILERS FOR DUB! is Itachi related to sasuke?
3.did the original show the swords stabbing kakashi or no? -
I think he called him Ero-Sennin in the original, which he sometimes calls him in the dub too, I believe. But don't quote me, I don't really follow this shit.
…you're kidding right? You clearly haven't been following the series. YES THEY'RE RELATED, they're brothers.

as I told many people who have asked me about naruto, I have seen from Gaara Vs Naruto to Current Episode.
so I might have to either get the boxsets 1-3 to catch up or something. -
Try going easy on the n00b Buuhan it was an honest question.

@Sandai:

Not everyone watches subs, so I doubt "n00b", is any fine way to address somebody else just because they aren't up to date or up to info, so cut her some slack.
-
I always figured n00b computer slang for newbie my bad.

@Sandai:

n00b means other things like addressing somebody as "Immature idiot" or "Spammer" but newbie's an okay word to use.
