Kenshin Dub

Okay after watching the Kenshin outtakes that Amewarashi posted I realized how much I really loved the Kenshin dub.

Sure it wasn't perfect. I can never watch the Soujiro backstory episodes in English because his character's VA does not have the same emotion as the Japanese Seiyuu but it is hard to beat someone as skilled as Noriko Hidaka. I hated Chu's ( Read more... )

I love the Kenshin dub. It's so good.

I really don't understand why it's so hated. Most people seem to say it's that Mayo Sukuzaze's Kenshin is so much better. That's okay, but myself I'm... not a big fan of Sukuzaze's Kenshin to be honest, which is part of why I watched the dub pretty consistently.

Hmm I don't have a problem with Sukukaze's Kenshin either. I like both her depiction and Hayworth's. Obviously they are very different because one is voiced by a man and one is voiced by a woman but I think they both captured Kenshin's character.

I think the problem is fans want the dub and the sub voice to sound exactly the same. I don't think this is how dubs should be cast. Instead they should cast the voice that best fits the character and I think Hayworth's Kenshin is a perfect example of this.
