I've been wanting to reply to this thread for so long and where do I find it? At the fifth page… oh well. At least I'll try to do something related to revival.
I first started to watch the dub just for laughs and boy, did I get those! I still do, but now it's more positive. So, after a couple of episodes I noticed that the dub is actually good. I already had a desire to rewatch Bleach and what better means to do it than the dub: that way everything is kinda new. Yesterday I saw episode 47, almost started panicking when I couldn't find the next one and then realized I had hit the point of weekly waiting. That means I've heard almost every voice there is to hear in the SS Arc and here are some opinions even though most of you probably won't care. I won't review every single one since there's quite a shitload of characters. Only those that matter to me.
Ichigo ~ "My name is Ichigo Kurosaki." cracked me up so hard in the first episode, but now I like him very much. Good job.
Rukia ~ In my ears she sounds almost exactly like the Japanese VA, so no complaints here either. Took some time to adapt, thoough.
Orihime ~ I cringed at her every time until SS. Her ditzyness is presented well and she doesn't sound too different from the original either.
Chad ~ I loved his voice from the very first line I heard, so… perfect.
Ishida ~ The same deal as Orihime the only difference being that I actually like him.
Urahara ~ Ah, he's fantastic! He doesn't sound like the original at all, but I don't see that as a bad thing. Extremely funny and pulls out the jokes perfectly. The rest of the gang at Urahara Shoten are to my liking as well.
Yoruichi ~ Both forms are very good, especially the cat one.
Ganju ~ Hm. I dunno. I've adapted, but I still don't quite know what bothers me in him.
Ikkaku & Yumichika ~ Ikkaku is awesome and even though Yumichika sounds completely different from the original, I like him too.
Renji ~ Sucks ass. Sorry. I will eventually adapt to him, but I doubt my opinion about his voice will change.
Byakuya ~ A tad too deep, maybe? Besides that a good job.
Kyoraku ~ Very nice. Lots of love!
Zaraki & Yachiru ~ Both are perfect. Period.
Gin ~ Ah, cool and collected. Excellent voice.
Mayuri ~ I lol'ed at him at first, but I learned to like his voice, it suits him so well.
Agh, there's so many names that are missing… I need to continue it some other time. Oh yeah, btw, am I weird for actually looking forward to the filler saga? O__o
