Why the Anime Sucks
« on: January 17, 2012, 03:33:40 AM »
So I haven't watched Pokemon the anime in a very long time, but I recently got a glimpse at Black and White and my god... whats up with the voices? Ash, Oak, James, even Meowth, they all sound terrible! The animation itself has seriously improved and the story isn't so bad considering its aimed directly at kids, but the voices are horrid. I couldn't take anyone serious!

Thas what is known as english dubs.
95% of them sound like that.
You know how to get rid of it?

Stop watching dubbed anime.

I hate dubbed anime I can't watch anime with horrible English voices that make the characters seem wrong and stupid.
The only anime's if completed in English were Inuyasha season 1, Full Metal Alchemist, Fooly Cooly, and Dragon Ball series.

shin21: I'm referring to the English dub if that's what you checked.

And to everyone else, well, fair enough. Pokemon is probably the only anime I intentionally would watch in English, simply because it was what I watched as a child, so it seemed only natural to watch it in English when checking out the latest season. All other animes I just watched subbed.

Err well in that case, let me get something for you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBSaPM-gt5o - Ash and Oak, season 1, episode 1. They maintained the same voices until at least the Battle Frontier.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPX-MfD9o2Y - Ash catching Tepig in B&W.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNh_a3Br2n4 A clip of Oak in either DP or BW, it doesn't matter, its his new voice.

You know whats sad? I was watching an interview with the original voice actor of Ash, Veronica Taylor, and she said that she didn't leave on her own, they let her go. She said she misses playing Ash very much, and she cries a little whenever her daughter watches Pokemon. That like...broke my heart lol ;D ... but still sad :(

They change the voice actor every time they switch regions. It supposed to show the effect of him growing and becoming a better trainer and person. But every time they do it, I rip more of my hair out.

...But I digress. To tell you the truth, Veronica Taylor made Ash sound a little...over-dramatic durring the earlier parts of the series.

Listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjoBuANx1dY&feature=related

I know he's exited, but really?

Well actually, she played him in Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn ... it wasn't until Battle Frontier that she was let go, and then Sarah Natochenny played him in Sinnoh and now Unova. I'll admit Veronica definitely made him sound over-dramatic at times but you'll notice she subtly changed his voice throughout the first season to get it right. To be honest, he just sounds ridiculous in the new one. That clip I posted of him catching Tepig is far more dramatic than anything Veronica ever did.

I actually just watched the videos you posted, and you're right...

Just listen to Oak! What the hell?! I couldn't even watch the whole thing because of just how much it embarrassed me knowing that someone who I, as a kid, used to look up to. I didn't even like Ash, I just watched for the pokemon and Professor Oak.

Oh, and Gary...

Heh, did you watch it long enough to hear Brock's new voice actor? Sounds like hes got throat cancer. Its no wonder hes not in Black and White, he sounded beyond terrible.

No, I closed it within like the first 3 seconds of Oak speaking. :P

I guess I'll try to watch long enough to see Brock.

Edit: Okay, so Oak is now extremely annoying with all the 'poems' he makes. But Brock's voice actor is better in my opinion. It makes you actually take him seriously. I mean, really. His name is Brock!

But Oak's.... My god, what's happened to his authority?!
