Try ignoring unhelpful trolls who care more about expressing their taste than helping people make informed choices. I guess it sounds like the dub deserves no slack. What's bad about it in particular? is there so many particulars in what a "bad dub" is? It's pretty simple - it's like acting. Imagine watching forest gump with a whole bunch of inexperienced actors instead of tom fucking hanks. Would the movie be the same? I'm not going to get into dub vs sub here but I will say this - Japs take voice acting very serious with their anime. Much harder to land a job doing it. Dubbing is far easier to get a role in - much less experience required. Much less monitoring/quality assurance put into it. ANYWAYS. The acting in the dub for it is more so just poor acting/annoying voices/not 100% accurate translation. So many things wrong with this comment, but I'm not gonna bother. Moving on. |

| I like the dub of this more than most dubs but to me Yuno sounds robotic in the dub instead of coming off as possessive and crazy like in the sub. I quite prefer the voice actor for the God of time and for Yuki. Uryu (one of my fav characters) also sounds fairly good in the dub. But like someone previously said, the voice actors are specially chosen to portray the character so you'll know the true character when you watch the subs. Just to let you know, I watched the anime in subs. |

| Watched the entire series subbed back in the day. Watched the good part of the show (= the first 13 episodes) in English, had no problem with the dub and the changes made in the dialogue and so forth. Especially Ninth is just fucking perfect in the English voice track. Spot-on casting right there, especially considering the woman they chose to voice Ninth in the Japanese track was already perfect as she was for the character (who just happens to be the best character in the show. Fuck Yuno.). |

| Just watched this in dub today. Yuna sounds awful compared to the sub. The english VA doesn't do nearly as good as a job making her sound like a psycho where the japanese VA got it spot on. Also not a fan of the english version death god trying to sound Shakespear. I'm not one of those high horse guys who think all subs > dubs. But this dub was pretty poor. Funimation using the same VAs on every single anime they do doesnt help. |
| I watched it in dub (Funimation) and loved it. Yuno's ENG voice actor was good and 9th was excellent. I watched MN Redial with subs and the voices were too high pitched for my taste. But if you don't mind the male protagonist sounding like a girl and to struggle to distinguish the male from the female voices then go ahead. Just my opinion. English is my second language so sometimes I have to go back due to not finishing reading. And I can hardly appreciate the facial expressions with my eyes glued to the bottom third of the screen... So I think that led to me preferring dubs even if that meant being seen as a inexperienced newbie by the anime community. :) |

| I agree that the vocalists can make a huge difference. Not only with the voices but sometimes the scripting is different from the english subs. For example a big one for me was at the end of 25 when Yuno is about to kill Yuno 3 she says "He is the man I would forsake reality just to be with...thats what love is...making the ultimate sacrifice...death is nothing." Those words have way bigger impact in my mind and heart than the english subs where she just repeats "I love Yuki" over and over. Things like this can be huge. Some not as good as others but i felt Mirai Nikki dubbed was great overall some were lacking for sure but Yuno and of course 9th lol were my favs. |
| Ninth is great and I also prefer Yuki in the DUB. Always felt like Yuki's VA had to be a guy. Yuno and Deus on the other hand, are better in the SUB. |
| I think Yuno sounds horrible in the dub. Like a strong, independent, 30 y/o corporate executive. Yuki sounds cool, but that really isn't how his character is supposed to be, so... |
Based_Nonon said: I think Yuno sounds horrible in the dub. Like a strong, independent, 30 y/o corporate executive. Yuki sounds cool, but that really isn't how his character is supposed to be, so... THIS. I tried watching episode 24 in English dub after I had watched the previous episodes in the original audio (translation group at the website I was using stopped subbing at ep 24 for whatever reason), but I had to stop about 1/4 of the way through the episode. I found Murumuru's and Yuki's voices were bearable, but Yuno's voice is COMPLETELY different from the original. In the dub she sounds really mellow and mature, just doesn't reflect her personality very well. Both Yuno and Yuki sounds a lot older in the dub compared to the sub, like late high school or maybe even later in terms of the age their voice actors sound like. |

Xee_CuRve said: I dont care about the voices, are there any other differences? Cut scenes, etc. No. It's a funimation dub, there's no censoring or editting of any kind other than voice overs and perhaps subtitles for signs and songs. As a fan of dubs and Brina Palencia, I can say that the dub is well below average. |

| I watched the dub and found it great. I dunno what people are complaining about Yuno's voice for; I assume because they already experienced her voice in the Japanese version and are butthurt that it's so different. I thought Yuno's voice was great, myself. But more importantly, it's the dialogue changes which are most important. On the download I got, some of the post-credits scenes were hard-coded so I couldn't help but notice the differences between the dub dialogue and the subs. Like always, the subs read like a translation and lacked all forms of emotion or impact, whereas the dub dialogue carried the same message as the subs but without sounding choppy and, in my opinion, with more witty lines. Deus's dialogue in particular is so much more superior in the English dub than it is the Japanese version that it's unbelievable. So is his voice, for that matter. Edit: Just watched a few Yuno scenes subbed - oh hell no. Her voice is high pitched and irritating, and she doesn't use pet names for Yuki such as "my love," "pookie," etc. all the time, which TOTALLY detracts from her obsessively loving personality. That was a mandatory part of my experience with her and a huge part of what made her so damn cute for me. I'mma stand by the opinion that people are naturally biased towards whatever they hear first. People who watched sub then dub will always be biased towards the mannerisms of the sub and vice versa. Yuki's voice is the only voice in the dub I find bad. His voice is ridiculously scratchy and he sure doesn't sound like a 14 year old male. I find it pretty ironic his voice is considered among the better in this thread. |

msrcali said: I didn't hear the original version firstFor the record I'm not even halfway through the show yet but that comment is clearly biased based off your obviously watching the sub version first. News flash genius not everyone agrees with you, this is the god damned Internet and an even more subjective place a forum. And the ''god damned internet'' also allows me to reply to people with opinions that differ from mine, just like it allows you to reply to my postStop getting butthurt be ause someone doesn't agree with you and say someone generally helpful to the topic and is not completely void of any logic or shut the fuck up. So I am the butthurt one, and yet all he does is throwing personal insults at me. Odd, thatPersonally I think the pet names do add to Yuna's insanity and those of us not privy to the Japanese grammar usage and style it adds more attachment in the dub in my opinion. Are you deaf, dumb and blind? Nobody has said anything about the ''Japanese grammar usage and style being so much better than the English one''. Stop making up shit and try to actually come up with solid arguments instead of just resorting to mindless insulting and ad hominem |

| The main subject seems to be Yuno when it comes to the two versions. I watched the subbed years ago. I liked it, I thought the character portrayal of Yuno was brilliant. I can’t deny the fact I watched Mirai Nikki because I thought Yuno was an amazing character. But when I first heard the dubbed voices I was like “wtf!” I thought they made a bad decision. But after watching more than half of the dubbed (recently). I have decided personally, I prefer the dubbed. The Japanese version shows Yuno to be a bit crazier for sure, with her shrieking voice, which can get kind of annoying, but this reflects her stable and unstable sides more clearly. But the dubbed shows Yuno to be a bit more mature & clear thinking, which personally suits her character as a calculating crazy knife wielding Yuki obsessed murdering mastermind. People comment about her age saying she should sound younger. But she doesn't really act young does she? So I can put that part aside. The other characters seem to be pretty solid in the dubbed also. Ninths attitude was absolutely brilliant, as she is another good character in this series. The only one I thought was a bit meh was Yuki’s, but I can live with that. Another factor is I seemed to enjoy the dialogue a bit more in the dubbed. I don’t watch many dubbed animes, but Mirai Nikki is my favourite in both dubbed and subbed versions. A comment made by Zadion was “Just watched a few Yuno scenes subbed - oh hell no. Her voice is high pitched and irritating, and she doesn't use pet names for Yuki such as "my love," "pookie," etc. all the time, which TOTALLY detracts from her obsessively loving personality. That was a mandatory part of my experience with her and a huge part of what made her so damn cute for me.” And this is certainly true, I think people have / expect, different things from her character. I hope this hasn't been too biased, because I think both versions are worth watching. It just seems a lot of negativity has been out towards the dubbed, which really hasn't done a bad job. But just to confirm, it was the subbed I actually watched first. So it’s not always whichever version you see first you prefer. |
| I liked this show only because of Yuno, the rest of the show is totally shit. And in my opinion dub of Yuno was awesome! |

| One one hand you've got Brina Palencia. An ultra talented actress and singer with the voice of an angel, a fantastic vocal range and a staggering amount of experience voice acting for anime. On the Japanese side you've got a squealing cat with basically no acting skills whose roles, including Yuno, can be counted on one hand. Since Mirai Nikki ended all she's gotten are supporting roles in unpopular shows that no one cares about which says quite a lot. |
