Naruto Dub Episode 12. "battle on the bridge! Zabuza returns!"

[neko-haruko.livejournal.com]

Let's discuss!

I liked it. Hearing Sasuke, seeing his expressions made me remember how much I miss him. I laughed when Naruto freaked out and said "WHAT?! BUT HE LOOKS CUTER THAN SAKURA!"
And when Naruto and Sasuke collasped backwards. "We are idiots!" XDDD Oh sasuke... How I miss you so...

I actually like Sasuke and Sakura's voice. That being said I still dislike Naruto's voice immensely.

I have to agree with the hatred of Naruto's voice. I love Zabuza and Haku's voices though. Being a huge fan of them, that means a lot coming from me!

I like all their voices, actually. I think the dub is doing a damn good job.

For a dub, yeah

Me too, for a dub.

Their English sounds unnatural, but I think it's the matching the length of the dialogue thing along with the lips. Ghost in the Shell probably have the best dub ever because they have so many internal conversations in which the characters don't open their mouths.

yeah, the mouth movements are always such a pain. There are always gonna be moments like that in a dub, where the pause or pacing makes no sense. *nods*SAC was really done well.

If only Naruto didn't say "BELIEVE IT!" every 5 seconds...

COnsidering he sais "dattabayo!" all the time, which means nothing at all, how would you incorperate that into his dub character? I think the sub group should leave that word in the subtitles, we'd be a lot more used to it.

Wow, I never thought about it like that. I always wondered why his sentences sounded the same at the end... But I don't know what would annoy me more. Hearing BELIEVE IT or reading some word that has no meaning.

[0x.livejournal.com]

well, it's Naruto. He's supposed to be annoying. ^^;

[lopt.livejournal.com]

He says 'believe it' almost about half as much as he says 'dattebayo'.

Yuri Lowenthal was the best thing to ever happen in Naruto dub. XD I love how he calls Naruto a loser, I guess it's how he accentuates it. XDDD

And heck, people were being paranoid over the scene where Haku says he's a boy! I'm so glad they put that in, that scene was waytoofreakin hilarious. POOR, POOR CONFUSED NARUTO.

Is that what he said? WE are idiots? Gotta rewatch that. I also don't know what he said when he hit Naruto. It was probably "Dork", but it sounded awfully much like "Tork" or "Tort" or something.

I think that I love everyone's voices now. Except Sakura's. She's got to much...Pinched voice? In the back of the throat? Best I can describe it would be the sterotypical Wisconsin-person, though I've never been to Wisconsin, so that's unfair of me. *means no offense*

I love that they kept Haku's "Precious" person, instead of changing to to "Important" or "Special" or something that they could have technically done. *can't wait for fight to really start, and wishes Inari and his stupid sidestory was dead*

I was sure Haku was going to say "loved ones" instead of precious people. I'm also so glad they left it. I think Viz realized how big the following of the Japanese subs are, so they left a lot of things with the slightly unusual translations. (As opposed to 'master' Kakashi... wtf?)
I also didn't realize how much I miss Sasuke. When he 'dies' protecting Naruto, I'm sure I'm going to cry. *sniff* Everything with Sasuke is now so bittersweet.
As far as the voices, the actors are settling in nicely. (Sakura's voice is kind of nasely at times, I agree) I didn't like Kakashi's until this episode (he did well with his little speech to Inari) I also forgot how damn touching that little speech was. I need to watch through again... And then there's Steven Blum... I'll never get tired of his voice. He does a good bad guy!
Oh well, my parents came in town this weekend, and I think I got my dad hooked on it. (though he kept obsessing over Naruto's whiskers) YAY! He also loves BOBOBO now, too. =) OK, I've digressed.

Man, I LOVE this dub. All their voices and everything, its just wonderful. I think the dubbers did a real fantastic job with it.

I watched the episode with my mom. And she said she was confused by Naruto expressions, it was so funny.
