| I know i will sound like a real dick but seriously... how can you guys withstand those accents. the way they talk by adding "shi sho" in their every sentence... i watched the first episode and episode look quite amazing but their voices bothered me so much that i instantly dropped it right after the first episode ended... so my question is don't you guys feel irritated by the way they talk.. i know i am being sarcastic but seriously. i mean like JESUS! i am waiting for some kind of dub and i have read(red:britian english) somewhere that this anime is getting a japanese dub(lol) but i will try my luck with that..... but seriously.......i am again sorry for being such a tard...but i just can't |
| Probably because, you know... you're used to watching anime in Japanese rather than Chinese? I fail to see how this is any sort of valid criticism though >.> |
  |
| i am irritated by the whole chinese i have watched many other tv shows with different languages like turkish dramas , arabic dramas even tamil shits.......i have even watched spanish shits! but chinese is like the worst... |
Scarlettmaurer said: u dislike their accent just because of not Japaness. if u watch more Chinese donghua, u won't say it you were waiting for my topic to make your first post :P |
| I thought we were friends Pakistan ): |
| Huh, Aren't we watching anime for the sake of fun? Not because it's Japanese?? |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
LOL! well you are right but we also watch anime if it gives us enjoyment rather than irritation! Thank You! |
| Chinese isn't an accent but go off I guess. |

| That moment when weebs run out of things to complain about so they complain that a Chinese anime isn't in Japanese. never change, mal. |
HowTragic said: That moment when weebs run out of things to complain about so they complain that a Chinese anime isn't in Japanese. never change, mal. for someone whose anime list is 3x times bigger than mine calling me a weeb! seems kinda odd.... still tho thank you for your informative post... |
| I'm not even sure if it's the language. It feels more like a lack of emotion from the VA's. They sound like people having a RL conversation and not like anime characters. |
UkRs said: I know i will sound like a real dick... You're right you do sound like a dick. i am again sorry for being such a tard...but i just can't Well, at least you're self aware! =) Either don't watch it or get over it. Killuan said: I'm not even sure if it's the language. It feels more like a lack of emotion from the VA's. I don't feel like there's a lack of emotion, it sounds pretty natural to me. Perhaps you're too used to Japanese voice acting, I like that the female characters actually have a normal voice unlike the typical high pitched voicing that's popular in anime. They sound like people having a RL conversation and not like anime characters. Lol, what? You say it like it's a bad thing. The voice acting is a nice change from the over exaggerated voicing found in most anime. |
 |
| Chinese is definitely one of the worst sounding languages on earth in my opinion and the voice acting in this show doesn't make it any better either, but the anime is still fairly well done so I'm quite enjoying it nontheless. |
| Lol bring on the Chinese hate. They stealin' awh jahbs! |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I guess people would find it really disappointing that real Japanese people don't talk like the way Japanese characters do in anime. |

CtrlZED said: Lol, what? You say it like it's a bad thing. The voice acting is a nice change from the over exaggerated voicing found in most anime. Well, most Japanese va's can alter their voice to match a characters personality/looks. If a VA just uses their normal voice on a character it isn't going to feel right. Atleast not to me. |

Yea but the characters in this series are just regular people not some super powered shounen group of friends, so it would make sense that they sound normal. I haven't read the novel but Ye Xiu strikes me as a laid back and caring kinda guy that can be trolly as times, the voice is fitting for that character type. Later on there's two other characters Steamed Bun Invasion and Huang Shao Tian, they're both 'genki' types and their VA's do a great job of capturing that. Besides, there are other ways to evoke emotion in animation than just voice acting alone such as, music, character posture, eye movement, etc. It's different strokes for different folks I guess. I dropped that nazi loli anime within 5 minutes last season because I absolutely could not stand her voice. |

VA is used to portrai personality yes and if not done right it throws the show off its mark, but this post wasnt even made about ''VA don't fit'' it was literaly a ''i hate chinese dub make it weebanese pls'' Imo the voices suit perfectly and as someone who appreciates animation in general, its refreshing to see china coming into the market because it's a fascinating language |
| I'm pretty sure this is similar to every non-japanese anime watcher's first problem with jap dub desu. |

Yea, some fans can be touchy about their precious 'Chinese cartoons' when it comes to Chinese cartoons. MAL is tame compared to what I've seen on other comment sections. |

| Oh gosh yes. It just sounded so off. After a few episodes and some inner questioning, I adjusted and have been able to enjoy the series quite well. |

| Sensing a tinge of racism? If you are Chinese you'll know that mandarin is a rough-sounding language. Fluent mandarin speakers tend to speak with a slur; it's how they speak quickly. That said, all the lines are perfectly legible. The voice acting itself isn't the best, maybe needs more sound production but there's nothing wrong with it. |

| I can imagine a German anime. I've actually watched enough German dialect films that it wouldn't surprise me to much, plus my heritage is German(despite being American) and I do have some understanding of the language. It doesn't matter how they sound to my ears as long as the subs are good and legible without overly bad grammar. However, when it comes to listening to the language, specifically Mandarin/Chinese, the words just sound all the same to me so it's kinda hard to make the distinction. I guess it's just so much of the "sh" and "ch" sounding elements within the language that make it sound so similar. |
| Guys, not liking how a language sounds is something natural and there's no racism involved at all. it's exactly the same as liking some type of voices rather than other, liking some musical instruments rather than others, liking some type of musics or melodies rather than others. The chinese language has quite the unique feel to the ears, and some peoples are bound to not like it. I personally speak english, french and japanese, and have notions of several other languages and listen from time to time to many more languages, and Chinese doesn't displease me. If it wasn't so difficult to pronounce I would probably try to learn it. Now, I can't , I just can't bring myself to like how Arabic sounds. I hear it regularly because many peoples in my country (France) speak it, but no, that just sounds awful to my ears. Is that racism? I have arabs among peoples I get very well along, so I don't think so. The language just displease me. And if the language displeases you, of course it's going to be a chore to listen to it for whole episodes long. When there's a seiyuu's voice I heavily dislike, watching a series with that seiyuu speaking a lot is an awful experience. A painful example for me is Yanase natsumi. There's nothing wrong with experiencing that. |

Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Monster Rancher etc. I'd take these over any English dub even now. Mind you, I'm not German or English ;) Wut. German sounds so harsh. They nvr sound right on cute anime like Pokemon. Unless its hitler like anime, i can understand. |

They appear and disappear way to fast for me and I take like 30 min to watch it then just 20 min! If it's getting a japanese dub I'll definitly check that out but I don't think it would be easy to make... The chinese people talk way to fast for a japanese dub so they will have to talk faster then they're used to! |

| I'm from the UK, and I live in an region which has a decent sized Chinese community, so the language doesn't sound strange to me. Within walking distance of my house, we have a Chinese chip shop, a Chinese Takeaway shop, and a nice Chinese sit-down restaurant. I'm also a fan of Hong Kong martial arts movies, and the sci-fi series Firefly, which has a lot of swearing in Chinese. Someone said (I forget who), that they speak too fast, but I thought that apart from Mr Chatterbox, Steamed Bun, and occasionally Chen Gao when she's excited, that everyone speaks in a fairly laid back manner. Seriously, I hear Chinese spoken much faster in normal conversation on the street. If you want difficult, try watching Polish crime drama... So many consonants!! Even though my home town has a large Polish community, I still can't follow the conversation, and have to rely solely on the subtitles. BTW, I'm not just talking about recent immigration either, Polish came to work in the local coal mine and cotton mill, both of which shut back in the late 50's/early 60's, so we're talking at least 3 generations here. My fave male voice is Ye Xiu's, and my fave female voice is Tang Rou's, though I quite like Chen Gou's too, especially when she's arguing with Ye Xiu... I really like a woman who can trash talk, and has some fire in her belly!! |
