PoT dub again. :D

Finally watched episode 7.

What. The. Crap.

They're going to stick with first names, aren't they? *pouts* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! SO NOT COOL!!!!!

Though at least it sounds like they're pronouncing Syusuke and Shuichiro right, because I don't know that the hell they did to Kaidoh's first name. O_o

I really like Horio's voice now. =D Fuji...rofl. I dunno, I like it too for some reason. It's completely Not Fuji-ish, but oh well.

Does anyone remember how long they were in the grey shorts for? Because YUCK. =P

I like Horio's voice too! It just grows on you...as does Fuji's although, I still like him a little more on the girly side...lol

I think they could make Momo's voice a little more playful and relaxed and not...so...deliberate...you know what I mean?? Anyways, it's all good, I mean, it's Prince of Tennis! *giggleslikeaschoolgirl*

I agree about Momo. Eiji sounds a little bit stiff, too. I keep hoping that they'll get more into it as time goes on.

lol, you're right, it's Tenipuri, man! And it could be a LOT worse. Have you watched any of the Hikaru no Go episodes?? >_< Ergh.

[priestess123.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have. I don't think they're bad, just way too grown up. I mean, they are LITTLE BOYS and they sound like their 30! Sai's voice sounds so forced...it's not even for real! It's just....fake-ish-ish? I dunno, I think they are just trying too hard, or maybe that's just me.....

But I still like it!

lol, you're too nice. =P I have like no tolerance for dubs. ^^;; I guess looking at it that way though, it's not the voice actors that are doing a bad job. But whoever casted them...wtf. Because yeah, Touya's voice? Not a horrible voice, but terrible for him! Doesn't fit at all, even if you haven't seen subbed Hikago. And I can actually say that, because I watched the first episode on toonamijetsream before I even began downloading the anime. ^.^ I knew even then that it was a completely bad choice.

I agree about Sai, he sounds way too forced. Which is weird, because I actually really like Brad Swaile. He did Quatre from Gundam Wing and Nightcrawler from X-Men: Evolution and about a million other things as well, AND HE ALWAYS SOUNDS THE SAME. ^^;;;; So for some reason I love him, hehe. This is the first role I can think of that he sounds forced and out of place.

LOL, I am too nice...what can I say? I like too many things...^_^

[maxine-chan.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing, trust me. XDDD

How on earth could you mess up Kaoru? It's one of the easier Tenipuri first names to pronounce, surely.

[maxine-chan.livejournal.com]

And yet they managed it! Did you watch it? It's like they thought you had to pronounce each vowel in Kaoru separately or something. Bah.

[akahannah.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting for some kind soul to upload the episodes to YouTube. I've not seen any of the dub at all yet. :(

[maxine-chan.livejournal.com]

Ahh. Heh. Well, it's an adventure, that's for sure. They've had megaupload downloads linked over on tenipuri before, have you tried that?

[maxine-chan.livejournal.com]

Here, if you want to give it a try:

Episode 1 (in 4 parts, because that's how it is on toonamijetsream)
Episode 2 (4 parts)
Episode 3
Episode 4
Episode 5
Episode 6

I haven't seen a link for episode 7 yet, which is the one where they butcher Kaidoh's name.

[priestess123.livejournal.com]

Oo! I totally forgot about that!!! O_o I know! I think they should just stick to Kaidoh! It would make everyone happier! LOL
