[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>You know that's funny, because Dattebayo is made up of the same members who had been doing Anime-Heaven's Naruto translations. They left the group and in order for Anime-Heaven to keep it's popularity they invited some new ppl to do the Naruto translations. :P</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Dattebayo annoys me with their unmitigated otaku-ness. Subtitles that don't translate words like "Itadakimasu" and "Godaime" are kind of ridiculous. Ok, you know Japanese. We already figured that out. No further proof is necessary.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Maybe, but I found that Dattebayo uses more childish translations. It might have been just the one ep, but I'll stick with AH until I have a reason to switch</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>They're not putting the translations of those words on the top of the screen either, are they? I thought the ANBU-AonE ones that you get with the 10-packs were the best</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I tend to agree with Don Wang on this end: Japanese voice actors typecast themselves to 4-6 different personas. Plus, there's dubs like Cowboy Bebop and Hellsing. There's no way the sub for Hellsing is better.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>For every 1 good dub there's 5-10 bad ones.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Change "good" to "decent" and I'd agree with you</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>At least they do those 4-6 personas well and they actually have this thing called "emotion". That's more than you can say for the majority of the english dubbers</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Another problem is some people are too hard on dubs..Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Gundam Wing, Trigun, they're in the good category. Yet some people have problems with all of them. >_<</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, there are some that are great, but soooo many are bad. I personally loved the original Akira dub</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>1) Japanese voice actors have ugly screechy or squeeky voices. 2) I can't understand what they are saying beyond what I learned in Japanese class. I doubt you can either. 3) It's not emotion, it is just lowder screeching.</div>
