Final Fantasy AC!!!!

Close this...( Pfff! Japanese)

If your gonna start flaming Japanese VAs, which by the way most of all the users on the forum like, then your deffinately gonna get flamed back. You cant flame something you havent heard.

What the heck are you talking about! Just close it!

flame = have a go at

and i think people will agree with me when i say this topic has been about "what the heck are you talking about?"

Gee i wish someone wont spoil this you now. would be such a pitty. :rolleyes2

CLOSE PLEASE

lol, ditto

Ya, CLOSE!

What do you mean you cant tell the quality if it's in a different language? You cant hear emotion, inflection, and tone in someone's voice when they arent speaking your language? Are you slow?

No, I can hear that but I just think it better in english. How do you even know it is better if you havent even herd it? NOW CAN WE CLOSE THIS!!!

I never said it was better. I said I prefered it. You're the one saying English is better when you havent watched it in Japanese. How do you know it's better if you havent even heard it?

u tell em :)

I personally sometimes prefer watching things with subtitles. Often, the dubbed translation isn't as good, or the voice actors aren't very good. Take Spirited Away as an example. I hear that Christian Bale's rendition of Hawk in the new movie 'Hawks Magic Castle' ( is that the right name?), is pretty crappy too.

Sometimes subtitles are better.

Howl's Moving Castle.

I found the dubbing in Spirited Away to be pretty good. Other good dubs I can think of offhand are Evangelion and Cowboy BeBop. I always watch things at least once in their original language... as, when converted to English, they have to synch the dialogue, and things are often lost in translation. So even when the dubbing is stellar, I feel I'm missing something otherwise.

Looking at my few animes the only time I ever preferred to listen to it in japanese was on evangelion and that was just because of how god awful shinjis english voice was (and you had the makers going on about how talented Spike Spencer was, ugghhh). In .hack//SIGN and Cowboy Bebop I could honestly say I preferred listening to the english voice actors. I thought FFX was pretty good in english too, the only stupid choice for a VA was Tidus's character. Same in Xenosaga II for KOS-MOS and thats caused loads of people to rant on about the god awful voice acting for both those games (and evangelion)was.

If we do not close this, I will fill your lives with pain and mysery! :mad2: I am really starting to get anoyed now. Guys, I really do know what you are talking about. I just thought it was a bit silly because you have to read the sub T and hearit in japenese. Voice acting really isnt that complicated and the american actors may even be good. I am surprised that the japenese actors arent lazy at it when they are being white charactors, black too (Barret) well, Yuffie may be japanese but anyway I like english better, even if they dont sound too good, for me they usualy do and plus, isnt the action animation that really means something?

THIS WAS AN ANOUNSMENT BY DEJAVU.
THIS SHOULD NOW BE CLOSED.
THANK YOU!

When they're being white characters? "White people" dont speak one way and neither do "black people". Japanese people, people who live in Japan no matter what their skin color, speak Japanese and speak in a certain way. People who are white and were raised in America dont speak the same as people who're white and live in England (same language yes, but their accents and slang are far different). It's a person's region which depends on their speech pattern and language, not their skin color.

No one is complaining about the English voice acting of Advent Children.

And by the way, the more you demand this thread to be closed, the longer they'll leave it open. The Knights dont need you to order them around.
