Naruto Dub

[nockergeek]

It's good! It's actually REALLY good! It's faithful to the original, it's not dumbed down or kiddified (other than some editing of flowing blood, but that's because of the timeslot), and the voices fit the characters and are decent matches for the Japanese voices. Mizuki, Ebisu, and Naruto are especially good.

And they use the original "Next Episode" sequences! And they say hokage and jutsu (including Shadow Clone Jutsu and Sexy Jutsu)...

IT'S SO GOOD!

I know! I'm just upset I missed the first episode so I didn't hear Shika's and ino's voice, but, there's next week! :D

tesstrosa really liked Ino's voice, and Shikamaru's voice sounded good to me. I'm looking forward to seeing future episodes.

Okay, they did an encore so... And yes, they make me happy. I don't think Ino nor Shikamaru have more lines until Ep 3, but... I like them.

What I like is, from what I heard, they tried to sound like how the Japanese VAs sounded like in tone and voice... er, if that makes sense

Yeah, that's the opinion here. They made an effort to be close to the Japanese version, both in voices and in having solid translations for the dialogue. No "Art of the Doppleganger", which means hopefully no "Art of the Valentine" or "Art of Me-and-My-Shadow" here.

*hopes!!* Oh man, I hope so! I really do!

I'm glad that Sexy no Jutsu wasn't messed up.

As a Mizuki fangirl, I was very pleased with his voice actor. Two thumbs up.

Glad to hear they got this dub right...too bad I've really kind of lost my interest in Naruto.
