Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X-->English or Japanese?

[AnimeAngel34]

yep maybe

[Bloody Rain]

Well the Japanese version is good with the exception of Kenshin's voice in that one. They really should have used someone else. But the english ones are all good (with the exception of some characters but those are usually only in a few episodes).

[AnimeAngel34]

i like them both they are both cool

[maven]

Both are fine except for kenshin's voice in the japanese version. It just sounds a bit feminine to me when compared to his voice in the english version..

[AnimeAngel34]

i like his voice in the english he sounds so cute

[JasonC]

I think he sounds less gaurded but mabey im just imagining things.

[AnimeAngel34]

maybe we don't know

[Seiji Sawamura]

yeah kind of is. when it's in japanese. it's still the same. my friend alex doesn't like the engilsh voice of kenshin and likes it better as a girl voice in japanese

[Tifa Lockheart]

But those are the dubbed voices that why they sound so bad. I only like the english because I'll understand it better. But i always listen to the japanese in subtitles first then English.

[AnimeAngel34]

yea we can understand them better when they are in english

[Tifa Lockheart]

yup.

[AnimeAngel34]

yea and its sound so cooler

[Battousai]

maby we can under stand them better but they are origenally japanese so the true plot is in the japanese version because the US has to dum and rate them so some stuff of import my be left out because the us govt is a real b.

[AnimeAngel34]

i like them both they tell the story of what happend so its all good

I didn't see any rules against posting in threads that are over a month old, so I hope this is alright.

For me, it depends on if you speak of the OVA or the anime series. In the OVA, the English dub is so awful, I can't listen to it without twitching. The VAs sound like they're reading from a script instead of acting. The Japanese is so much more powerful and passionate.

In the anime series, it's the opposite. Kenshin sounds like an old woman (seiyuu is a girl) and Sano's voice just doesn't seem right though I can't put my finger on why. I much prefer Richard Hayworth and Lex Lang. However, I dislike the English VAs for Sojirou (same as Kenshin in the Japanese version. They have a girl doing the voice), Tae/Sae and Chou (why do they sound like they're from Texas?).

[AnimeAngel34]

really i didn't know that?
