Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?

I don't always watch anime. But when I do, I prefer dubs.
Again though, this is an extremely limited case. Like Trigun. And... that's about it. I watch dubs when available because my eyesight isn't that great.

American voice actors always run their roles like if they were playing Hamlet or some other work from Shakespeare. Seriously, horrible... O_O Some voice actors are amazing though, like in stuff like Mass Effect
Normal ones I can't stand though, it sounds so horrible (at least when it's a Japanese game) Same goes for English made cartoon and dubbed Japanese
They just sound so very different Offline

It really depends on the dub for me. Naruto had an absolutely awful dub, but Death Note had a pretty good dub.
It seems like the long lasting shonen anime like Naruto, Bleach or One Piece are awful dubbed, but the quick 2 season max anime are ok. Of course people take it too far and try to get things like Avatar TLA or LoK dubbed into Japanese. Yda's voice actress.

Funimation does dubs very well. There's a few series like Yuyu Hakusho and FMA Brotherhood that I think the dub is fantasic, and the dub of Ghost Stories is 10/10 worldclass because they got to ignore the original script and wing it for pure comedy gold.
Watch Ghost Stories if you have never seen it before. Offline

All of the Scions have awful VA's tbh lol. Thancred was alright and Moen.
There are some good VA's though, the new fancy pants from ishgard had a really good VA and I quite like Lolorito and Teledji Adeledji Bismarck.Dracondria said: » All XIV voices are *** terrible in English Bismarck.Dracondria said: » Some voice actors are amazing though, like in stuff like Mass Effect Normal ones I can't stand though, it sounds so horrible (at least when it's a Japanese game) Offline

That was cheesy, but in general I think it was really well done :P What the *** happened to Gaius voice between 1.0 and 2.0 lol, it was awesome in 1.0

There's only a few people that can do both (Morgan Freeman, Stephen Fry) Bismarck.Magnuss said: » Bismarck.Dracondria said: » Some voice actors are amazing though, like in stuff like Mass Effect Normal ones I can't stand though, it sounds so horrible (at least when it's a Japanese game) His voice sounds so different here and it's just blah
YouTube Video Placeholder Judging by grunts, Yda had a deeper voice in 1.0
Bismarck.Dracondria said: » All XIV voices are *** terrible in English I still wonder if JP consider their VA's awful. Also, someone on youtube got brave again and started uploading full Bob Ross episodes.
Here's a comparison, same scene in English and Japanese
YouTube Video Placeholder Everyone in JP sounds too young. Urianger is old as hell and he sounds 20.
Tataru (I guess) and Minfilia were the only ones that sounded particularly good. But again, opinions are opinions. Offline

Opinions are like bears.
They should stay in their forests and caves where they belong! How old is Urianger? I can't find any age for him
