Fears for the Dub

(1/12) > >>

Sailor Yue-chan:
OK, i just got Pretear DVD set, and decided to see how the dub was. Its horribl, absolutly no voicematching. (hell Himeno sounds like a vally girl -_-) so it brought up my fears of thie dub. how bad will the voice matching be. you can bet all names will be bastardized into american. (remember how wierd sakura was in the CCS dub?) the japanese pronuncietion of the names are poetic. bastardization is horrible. (its bad enough they ALWAYS have to drop the second vowel {u} so Yuuko will turn out to be Yuko, which if looked at with out actually HEARING her name will cause people to pronouce it "Yuck-o" DX. and if i even HEAR them pronouce Fai's name like "Faye" just becaouse the anime spells it as Fay, ill stop right there. i will NOT put up with that AT ALL!

what are some of YOUR worst fears?

Tsu-girl:
Well it would be good if Fai even turned to Faye, than changing his neame completly >.<
The worst would be Kurogane's voice... I really know how horrible dub can be done in my country (with english dub I only know some older animes - Dragon Ball or Digimon) and I konw that it's hard to find a voice for a character like Kurogane...
And Yuuko would have a voice of an old hag or Fai voice of a girl... *shudder*

Sailor Yue-chan:
true. voice matching is the #one thing to get. in Pretear, out of all hte main characters (the 7 nights, and Himeno's family) only Mayune and himeno's father have good matches. everyone else, is poorly done, tho Sasame is close, but not quite.

Smile_For_Me:
I don't think Funimation is going to screw TRC up, with how popular it is and all. Old Funi is getting better with voice overs, Fullmetal Alchemest, Trinity Blood and Eureka 7.

So don't judge it till you hear it. Besides there are a few American dubbed versons over the Japanese ones. Wolf's Rain OVA's is a good example.

My fear is, if any, who the heck is Fai's VA going to be? And Funi is also true to names. So Sakura's name will be pronouced Saa-kur-a, and Fai's will be F-eye.(mind the pun)

Smile_For_Me:
Well, Four confermed voices has shown up at ANN

Monica Rial will most likely play as Mokona, as she has play small animals in the past.

Mike McFarland might be Fay,

Colleen CLINKENBEARD Might be Yuuko

Caitlin GLASS might be Sakura, because I know she can sing, or she could be the girl who sings at the Clover Bar

I could be wrong at who's who and what not
