Absolute Anime

I mean seriously,it's like these people sit and wait to hear an american voice, just to bash it.
Also, in the Japanese version, he sounds VERY old.

Main-point:

All the fans of the Japanese version of the Naruto Anime, please get used to Shino's voice.

he sounds like a total nerd in the english. im sorry, but its infuriating. but i have no choice but to get used to it i geuss.

You'd better. It's actually okay. Also,
I wish human kind would eliminate this, Nerd term....

It's not a real word, and it's infuriating.

i like the Jap voices better overall than the american voices...

well shino probably has the worst voice of all the english version voices
i doesnt fit his dark and mysterious personality
he sounds more like a creepy pervert

I live in Japan, and saw the original before the dub, but I still like his voice. Also, if people don't like dubs so much, why don't they just stop watching them?

ppl watch the dubbed because its easy to concentrate on the picture rather then reading subtitles online

Maybe, but thr japanese version of Shino sounds 30-40. He's only 15.(it says he's 12, but he hid his age)

hey atleast naruto isn't annoyinh...

personaly, i hate jap voice actors, i cant stand them, theyres like 4 or 5 differant KINDS of voices with these VAs for some reason, while american voice actors are a dime a dozen so theyres alot to pic and choose from and they can get the right voice for the right character...like naruto and sasuke, i really cant stand theyre VAs in the jap version, while i think theyre VAs on the american versiosn fit them very well.

In English shino sounds like in a nerd in japanese he sounds great or aleast the voice i heard him in

There is no such thing as a nerd!

I think Shino is voiceovered by Brian Drummond. I don't know how anyone could hate the original Vegeta.
I like all of the voice over talents in the American Naruto. In fact, many of the voices are dead on with their Japanese counterparts, especially Naruto.

well he didn't sound like a nerd sorry he sounded like a very very smart genius

Certain Anime characters deserve deep voices to match their character's ways. The sound of Shino's voice in the English version is high pitched and doesn't match his constantly serious attitiude. It would be the same if someone like Alucard, or Jin had a high voice. It just doesn't match their style.
