| Well I've been on MAL for almost 2 years now and I don't really browse the news boards that much :/ I'm not surprised though, people really like to argue over petty things like subs over dubs and licensing >_> but I digress. It's actually pretty fun looking at these boards. |

| I think some people need to learn about editing done to anime and Greg Ayres helps me out. Also, my good friend Wikipedia chimes in as well: Wikipedia said: The original creators of the anime that have been edited are usually not directly notified of the editing. It is up to the studios/copyright owners of anime as to whether or not to allow editing in their anime, and the ample number of anime edited for the United States would seem to indicate that the studios/copyright owners normally do not object. However, in some instances Japanese studios have refused to allow their work to be censored as a precondition of signing a U.S. release contracts. After the Miyazaki/Nausicaa debacle a few years back, American anime companies learned a thing or two. Kuyukly said: I prefer arguing about subs vs dubs over serious stuff. I hate being too serious. I agree with this for most of the versus issues as long as they don't turn into an all out flame war and then it's just people calling each other names and sounding like a bunch of 5 year old sailors. A versus thread can be really good and semi-intelligent, but all it takes is one troll, or drunken samurai, to mess all that up. |

I bet they are goign to bout horo in a nun outfit and give her a proper english accent =p |

But everything was clear after ending credits: "english version by funimation". Butchering already bad series like Naruto etc. is all they're good for. Antanaru said: Go to hell shitimation bastards, hands of this series! Wow, pointless rage much? FUNimation are fine. Imagine if 4kids got ahold of it instead. Capellabun said: Then you pretty much haven't seen it at all. Voice acting (especially Koshimizu Ami) is really good there. With different voices it's no loner same series. In most cases I wonder if it's even anime anymore.I've only watched a few episodes of Spice and Wolf and didn't find the voice acting to be anything more then most anime so when I watch it I probably won't be comparing it to the Japanese track. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Most of Spice & Wolf's appeal, at least to me, was Koshimizu Ami's voice acting. She speaks in some kind of arcane Japanese dialect or some shit and it's beautiful. The dub won't match it, not a chance in hell. You can call me a subfag if you want but it's just not possible to dub this anime properly. Edit: Stupid quotes... fuck it. |

| IT'S ABOUT TIME. I will likely pick it up as soon as I can, despite FUNimation's rather shoddy packaging for most of their half sets/Complete Collections as of late. After suggesting it to my anime club and then actually watching it through, I determined the show to be worth buying. Plus the light novels are coming out in a few months, too! & I'll judge Horo/Holo's voice when I hear it. Sure Ami Koshimizu's acting made Holo lovable, but it's not like other renditions of her in other languages can't be better. It's all a matter of opinion, anyways. |

| They are going to cast Kate Higgins as Horo. You know it. You fear it. D< |
| Just got done reading this whole thread i really only have one question and that is: BigSimo said: Oh, and when I say all this I'm referring to the possibility that the second season will be licensed before it airs, or as its airing. ^ Why in the FUCK dose that matter? |

It's nice if they wait until the show has been completely aired. Most licensing studios used to let fansubbers finish the TV runs, but with the C&Ds some (particularly Funi) have sent out the past few years, most fansubbers just ignore licenses all the more. No reason to respect them. |
| You say that like fansubbers respected licenses to begin with...lol. |

Anomalous said: Hey now, they did! In the 80s. More like til the mid 00s. It wasn't until 05-06 that all these anon and various trollish type groups showed up. Torrents for distro, DTV raws and easier encoding and typesetting with tools like aegisub and megui caused a boom in fansubbing groups that overwhelmed the groups with ethics. Pretty much all the major groups used to respect licenses, as did the majority of lesser ones. It was pretty much game over for a series if a license was announced. I know. I was there fansubbing through it all. |

| I must say, +1 for Kuyukly. It's nice to know there are intelligent, unbiased anime fans out there when it comes to English dubbing vs subbing. You have my respect. EDIT: Capellabun as well. I haven't seen Spice and Wolf and I only know Brina Palencia's (English Holo) voice from one part (Honoka in Suzuka), but from what I'm hearing and seeing of Holo and from how Palencia did Honoka, I'm thinking she'll do a good job. Other than that, most of the cast is names I've heard but that I'm not really familiar with. I plan to watch it when the episodes are available somewhere on the internet. |

| I find it kinda funny the people bitching about the Dub, probably never or hardly watch dubs or will ever buy the DVD release, even if they will probably just watch Japanese audio. It's like people who bitch about the president and didn't even vote. |

yoshib said: once they license it, i can not watch the sub version anymore. fuck funimation, they ruin anime and don't even give the people an alternative. Um, this was licenced at the beginning of this year. Technically you shouldn't be watching season 1 ^^" |
yoshib said: once they license it, i can not watch the sub version anymore. fuck funimation, they ruin anime and don't even give the people an alternative. Cry harder, you had plenty of time to grab it before they licensed it. Plus, it's not like it'll be gone from everywhere, you'll still be able to find it somewhere on the internet. That I can guarantee. As for ruining anime, Funimation does nothing of the sort. And they do give people an alternative (all DVD's these days are released dual audio) so I don't know wtf you're crying about with that. |
| I've never seen spice and wolf, but I'm sure funimation will ruin it.... |

It's like people who bitch about the president and didn't even vote. I don't know about others but that's not the case with me. I spend 4-5 hundred dollars a year on anime and try to avoid dubbed products. |
| I just watched the funimation dub and I got to say that I am fairly impressed. True I never seen the subbed version of spice and wolf, however I feel the voices suited the characters perfectly. Especially Holo. I still think that whatever version you watch first will be the version you prefer but I got to say that Dub voice actors are judged harder than Sub voice actors. After all for a sub voice actor to be good they just need to have a voice that does not sound like nails on a chalkboard. They could be saying the lines incorrectly or not expressing emotion right and we wouldn't know the difference. I don't think it's fair to compare English and Japanese dubs unless you can understand both languages. So to put it simply, I thought the spice and wolf dub was brilliant and please don't say it's crap compared to the sub unless you know Japanese. |

No someone doesn't need to be able to understand a language to be able to judge if they like the sound in the dub or original better, but by not understanding the language you are unable to judge on anything other than just how pleasant someones voice is, not how they pronounce things, epmhasis on certain words or the way their sentences are timed (as in short breaks between what words, words said slowly or quickly etc.). So judgements over voice acting being good or not are a lot harder to make if you do not know the language, saying "compared to the sub..." or "compared to the original...." really is an unfair comparison. edit: i should probably actually say something about the main topic.........cool. |
