America does ruin a lot of anime, but...I liked beyblade, pokemon, digimon...since they were the first Anime I ever watched. So they got me into it, and I had never seen or even heard of the originals, I didn't even know they came from comics at the time.

Then...then I was enlightened. Naruto came out! Yay...now if I ever see the Japanese version I just hate the american version, it's rubbish.

I have yet to see the English translate an animé yet though...

No guestion about it. American translated anime sucks!

Something else that annoys me is America changing the intro songs/videos for animes.

The 4th season opening for Full Metal Alchemist was altered for the English version. It added unnecessary shots, mixed some segments around, and changed the music a little bit. THEY DIDNT CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE INTRO VIDEO.

Effectively, all they did was make the intro video suck because now the chorus doesn't match the awesome part where Al and Ed jump off that cliff into the water when they're fighting Lust and Gluttony.

Seriously, wtf?

America Is the source of all Evil...<_< it wants to Ruin good animes, since they think they're like "gods" those companies.

Now I wat to watch some damn anime.

SOME American translations are alright, I didn't mind "Comic Party", though I did think the voices were really different when I switched to the Japanese Audio (Japanese ones were better) and Love Hina was alright as well. But one thing is for sure, Naruto in Japanese is way better (believe it? What the hell and a granny plays him)

On a related note, I love Comic Party!!

Moss. · February 22, 2007, 03:33:28 PM

Love Hina's dub annoyed me so much because they absolutely butchered Shinobu's character.

Winged · February 24, 2007, 10:26:02 AM

For some reason, I can't download Comic Party's intro theme, only Comic Party Revolution which is entirely different.

As for Shinobu, I thought that voice was perfect for the shy type like her unless the Japanese one was better which I haven't seen/listened to.

In the japanese version, she was nervous, you could tell when she was frazzled, and was very soft-spoken.

In the english version, she just had a high-pitched voice, and that's all. She didn't really convey the character well, I thought. I mean, yeah, the voice is supposed to be high but it's also supposed to be soft and shy, and a little whiney.

That's my opinion, anyway, but I've come to the conclusion that I may enjoy the japanese voices better because I don't understand it enough to find acting faults in it.

AMEN!
Seriously, not only are these animes butchered, the dreaded ANIME GROUPIES follow too.
I mean it. It annoys me to no end when the people who don't get out of Cartoon Network wear Inuyasha sweaters and Bleach bags and Fullmetal Alchemist shoes (yes there are SHOES. WHY!?!)and try to act like comical or dark anime characters. And they draw badly and are conceited about it.

I hope that D.Gray Man doesn't make it onto Cartoon Network...

This One Is WAYYYY MORE COOLER THAN INUYASHA?! I WANT MOAR". Sometimes I regret showing the new stuff to them =/
