OMGWTF. I am squeeing over here. I am squeeing so much I think I will probably die of squee before the CD actually comes out. Savers? Meh. I can pick up the subs and watch them later if I really feel I'm missing something. As for the rest, brand new ( Read more... )

That might be the most brilliant summary of the Goggleboy VAs I have ever seen.

...and the only reason I even bothered mentioning that hey I'm a dubbie was because I've been conditioned by the Digimon fandom's ridiculous dubhate. I'm not sure if she missed the part where I said I was totally fine with the Japanese names still, or just ignored it for the purpose of rant :/

Hehe, thank you! :) I mean, both Taichi and Takato definitely had excellent voice actresses, but they're just so incredibly girly. Dub Tai's voice is one of the handful I prefer over the original. It just seems to fit better.

...I swear I must have missed the fandom memo saying that you're not allowed to like both versions. D: Except for the opening song, I don't think the Tamers dub could have been much better...

I don't mind Taichi's Japanese voice (better than Yamato's, at any rate), but Takato's is really... squeaky, yeah. Though it did grow on me once I realized that the same lady voiced Kimihiro in Hikago. Who is fifteen.

I highly suspect that the reason so large amounts of the Digimon fandom insists that the dubs are evil is because they boicotted Tamers and missed out on its awesome.

Oh, Yamato's Japanese voice is a totally different level of wrong. Although, I have occasionally wondered why people always complain about his voice, and never about Kouji and Kouichi. There are two of them, so there should be twice as many complaints, right? I guess that just means Frontier fans are less whiny. ;)

Takato's voices are plain weird. His Japanese voice actress is too high-pitched compared to, say, Hirokazu. His American voice is way too deep for the kind of character he is. But I can't imagine what a "middle ground" voice might sound like. And he's adorable whatever language he's dubbed in, but that's my fangirl speaking!
