K-ON!
| Apparently there's an english dub of the series which aired the first episode on Animax Asia two days ago. Here's a link to where I found the episode: http://dubbinz.com/english_dub_anime/ongoing/k-on/details.html] And no, IT IS NOT FAN-MADE, it's dubbed by a studio located in Hong Kong called Red Angel Media. They ''supposedly'' specialize in providing English and Cantonese voice dubbing, lip sync voice-over and pre-lay services and have work on anime titles such as Tokyo Godfathers, Eureka Seven, Inuyasha, and personal favorite Big Windup just to name a few. |

| It's just as bad as I had imagined it would be. |
| Probably better than the original. |
| Someone tell me what the fuck I'm watching I don't even. People actually watched and enjoyed this? |

| The dub isn't too bad, its not the best dub but its still watchable. Its still better then subtitles since you don't have to stare at the bottom of the screen 90% of the time to understand whats going on. |
 |
| I say no to dubs, but just tagging thread to see out of curiosity later when I get back home. |
 |
| I was never interested in dubs.. subs with original voices are still the best way to go. Animax is also airing K-ON here but I think we don't have the option to switch to English voice.. o.O |
      |
| wow its like the opposite foe me i say no to subs |
|
| Has to be a fan-dub. Oh god, I pray it is. XD |
| no its the actual dub shown on animax asia and how is it bad? you fucking sub snobs piss me off its an ok dub its not bad but its not great either |
|
| Yes, Nodoka is fine but Ritsu is terrible! Instead of bein all lively and stuff she's just... sleepy or smt xO I friggin don't approve, as a Ritsu fangirl OwO'' And wow... I mean, WOW! Ahahahaha, bwahahahaha I... I laughed my ass off @ Sawa-chan's voice xDDDDD Bwahahahhahahahah she, she, she.... ahahahahha she sounds like some typical grown-up woman I just.... I just can't imagine her in her real form with THAT voice! It's too funny!! xDDDDDD @ hypersonic124 I'm loling at you guys saying that it's a pain to read subtitles... You're just spoiled, that's why! Here they air only american movies, rarely other foreign ones... And they are 80% of the time with subtitles, and I don't see anyone comaplining about it, and we can watch quite well actually, no problem. Stop being so spoiled Dx Besides, almost allways the dub fails, because it doesn't match the characters. Did you hear Sawa-chan? Oh my, I'm gonna laugh again xDDD *gets back after 5 minutes* Akhem. And Yui is so not moe now. They ruined everything, man. |

nihaonyan said: Not ALL of the voices are horrible (Nodoka and Ritsu are okay) but they messed up on Mugi, Mio, Ui, Yui, etc... TT-TT Yeah, ALL the voices are terrible. |
| It isn't a fandub, but it isn't really official either. K-ON! hasn't been licensed by an American company yet, so there's still the chance of a good dub coming. I thought this one was mediocre at best; there was nothing about it that was terrible, but at the same time it wasn't good. And wow, people, not a thread that even has the word "dub" in it can go without a goddamn dub vs. sub war starting up? Holy shit, people, who cares? Some prefer subs, others prefer dubs, neither one is really better than the other 96% of the time. Get the hell over it and stop bashing the other side so much. Christ. |

Pain = distraction. I'm just saying you're missing all the fun here. The characters are not what they used to be, and if the moe was what you were looking for, I just don't think you'll find it here with those hell of a plain voices. If I watched it like this, probably I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. And don't get me wrong, I'm not against dubs when done right. I adore Light's english voice and the jap one is just gay... so yah. |

| if this is official why is it still telling us the sponsors? Official dubs don't do that. And they kept the Japanese message as well, lolol. And half the voices sound like they were done by the same person. And it hasn't translated the text in the OP/ED or credited anyone who worked on the dub. Plus there's no link to an official website for this dub, the link just leads to a site that streams English dubs... Nahh, I don't reckon this is real at all, just a particularly ambitious fandubber. |

| Ouch my ears @_@ |
| Why isent that link working for me :( |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| I love K-ON! a lot and I have to say the dub wasn't actually bad in my opinion. Not good either. I've heard a lot worse dubs. |
| DrakeWants2Speak I implore you to please, please, change the title to: LOL at K-ON's English Fan Dub :P It would solve a lot of confusion. Thank you. |

Yup said: DrakeWants2Speak I implore you to please, please, change the title to: LOL at K-ON's English Fan Dub :P It would solve a lot of confusion. Thank you. Read the introductory paragraph, smarty pants. ^_- |
| so, I googled both Animax Asia and Red Angel Entertainment. All Animax Asia site mentioned was showing K-ON! subbed, Red Angel Entertainment site said noting about K-ON!. So I see absolutely no proof this is real. Until someone tells me they have actually seen this on TV, I refuse to believe it is real. :/ |
| Nah, there seemed to be a bit of charm to the original VAs. The dub doesn't seem to carry over that same feeling. I've certainly heard worse. |
| Seriously I've seen way worse dub that this one, not that this one is good.. |
 |
| whats so bad about the dub? i liked it, if it wasnt for the dub i wouldhave never bothered watching this show |
|
supersonic124 said: whats so bad about the dub? i liked it, if it wasnt for the dub i wouldhave never bothered watching this show Agreed while I do watch a lot of subbed anime but I do liked the dub better if I have the choice. This is the kinda of show that I would have given a chance if it wasn't dubbed. The only dub I really couldn't stand was Higurashi. |
| It'll never be as GREAT as Space Black Knight, in no way related to Gundam or Macross whatsoever though. |
| You can't complain about bad dubbing until you've seen Megumi. The problem with that dub is the fact that they sound forced and awkward. Do the people who wrote the script even speak fluent english? |
| Well I watched one ep dubbed. Not a fan of dubs generally, but at least the characters didn't sound super cutesy. |
| ADV or even Bandai would've done a better job with the voices for this dub. I'm disappointed. I was really looking forward to a good dub.... HAHAHAHAHA like that could ever happen. |
| I can't say it was mortifying, but they definently could of done better. The voices sounded way too similar to each other is all. At least they didn't dub the songs... |

| This was horrifying. Some dubs can be done well. This is not one of them. |
