| Steins gate now has an english dub. What are your thought/opinions? I know i won't be rewatching it in dubbed anytime soon thats for sure:P Overall the dubs not the worst i have heard but it is certainly not the best. |
 |
| Just for some curious people,Funimation posted the 1st 4 episodes dubbed on their youtube channel.I'll go get them. Episode 1: episode 2-4: My opinion on the dub (I've seen the 1st 2 episodes dubbed): It's alright.Could be better,but what I got is just fine.It's just in the shadow of the original,but I'm not gonna hate it because of that. |

| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |

| Accuse me of being a dub-hater, I don't fucking care but the truth is: failed mad scientist laugh = failed dub. |

| Oh my. Can't stand this dubbed. I hate Mayuri's english voice. Her japanese voice actress was perfection. |
 |
| The dubs were pretty terrible >.> I dont normally say that but, when I heard it I really was disappointed the voice actor for okabe just isnt okabe enough and, they sound flat ... I just lost a life |
| Did they at least keep the laugh from the Japanese actor? If they do this I'd approve. The dub sounded ok, just different as usual. |
  |
| I've seen the first episode dubbed, therefore I am 100% qualified to dissect every aspect of it and compare it flawlessly to the original. More seriously though, I think the dub sounds fine, different (as to be expected), but fine. It's not as good as the original imo, but I realize that I am biased as I usually like whatever I hear first and the characters were my favourite part of Steins;Gate and I feel very attached to them. I'm actually surprised myself, but I think that Tatum did a good job as Okabe. His rendition sounds more intelligent (imo), but it does lack much of the lovable, over the top craziness that Miyano portrayed. I didn't hear too many background characters, but in general they sounded good. If there is one voice that really annoys me it would be Miyuri's. She does a good tuturu, but other than that she sounds like a dumb, snobby high school girl, and not quirky or lovable at all. I didn't hear Makise or Daru that much, but they sounded okay. One thing that bothers me is that all of the main characters seem to have an edge of annoyance in their voice, like they can't stand being around each other. Also, if I'm really going to nitpick, I thought that everybody's voice sounded a bit too quiet, but maybe that's just because Okabe wasn't over the top enough. Overall, I thought it was fairly good, with the exception of Mayuri. Right now I have no plan to re-watch it dubbed but who knows, maybe in the future. However, mainly for Mayuri's sake I think I would just watch it subbed again. Thus ends my overly long rant abut the Steins;Gate dub. El Psy Congroo. |
| ugh, I don't like watching Eng Dub animes :| -- no one can replace Hanazawa Kana-san's angelic voice....I prefer Subs more than Dubs.. |
 |
| not as bad as i had thought it would be. don't like Mayuri's voice though. |
| Imo I think they did a pretty good job for dubbing a great anime as steins gate. Ofcourse we will find the dub bad since the Japanese voice actors nailed it, but still I find the english dub entertaining and this is coming from a guy who hates english dub :P |
| I personally like the dub, but the sub obviously outclasses it in every way. That doesn't mean it's bad, though. |
And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |

| lol@all the people saying "it's not that bad" as the only positive thing about the dub. "Not being that bad" really inspires confidence in a product. |

Casual Anime fan: "The dub is actually quite good" A Hardcore fan/Sub elitists reply: "The dub is absolute garbage. It loses all the natural flavor that is present within the voices of the original characters!". And how would you label the people in this topic that said neither? Generalizations failing to represent the truth since 1959. |
|
failedtoopen said: I wouldn't label them as anything because I know nothing about them. Generalizations are only bad if you use to define, or characterize a specific person. yeah, that's what generalizations do. Anyways the reason I said it isn't bad, nor is it amazing is because there are 4 episode of the dub, while there are 25 episode of the sub. That isn't enough material to accurately judge them both equally. There are things that I liked right off the bat about the dub, and things that I warmed up to with the dub. Give the dub 21 more episodes for me and maybe I'd think it was better then the sub. Why should the dub need more episodes? I original made it's impression and quality known at episode 1. The "warming up" crap is just as apathetic as "it's not that bad". No amount of getting used to or not being bad is going to endear me to a product when an outright good version exists that doesn't take any getting used to. |

Because it isn't natural to be drawn to a version, or experience you had first? Something that could include bias? That's just an excuse people try to use to explain why people like the original version and not any of the reversions. That excuse however is in direct contradiction to people that have seen the sub first and end up like the dub more, which oddly enough are the people that try to use that excuse against any opposition to a dub. Anyways the Okarin in the dub is portrayed much better (in my eyes) then that of the sub. The Dub version also doesn't have Okarin snorting/choking on air at random points. His eccentricity also comes across in a more interesting manner then that of the sub version. Wait...so by doing less eccentric things he comes across as more eccentric in the dub? This is why I try not to talk directly to dub-lovers, you guys are full of contradictions and more apologetic than a man on death row. |

failedtoopen said: LOL You're quite cute my friend. I'd respond to this in detail but I see it would be useless. I will say this. I am not a dub lover, I don't only watch dubs, I actually watch both if I go and re watch the show. I try to keep any bias I have to a minimum as well. Also remember what we talked about when it comes to generalizing :P Can't help it. When you whip out some of the most stale and generic "compliments" about dubs as if you don't want to say anything too bad about them you don't leave much room to the imagination about yourself. And we talked about how generalizing can be true if applied to an individual but not a group...you did group labeling early while I'm only talking about you now. |
|
When I say "It isn't good but it isn't bad" that's because there are things I like, and things I dislike about it. It's the same way with the sub, it isn't amazing, nor is it bad. You could hand me either the dub or the sub and I'd enjoy it just as much. Yes the way the characters are interpreted may be different but they're the same characters at the core. Then the question is whose interpretation is better. Most man-made things are not the same but different. My guess is that the core would be interpreted better by the ones who created said core and that usually stands true for all media, not just Japanese anime. It's not good nor is it bad...November elections must be coming up everyone is trying to sound like a politician by play all sides of the field evenly and never taking a firm stance. I also find it funny that the original acting never really had such a lukewarm and negative respone until there as a dub made and then "those" people started coming out of the wood work. Before the dub Mamoru Miyano's Okabe was perfectly acted, hilariously over the top, and fans kept on repeating sonovabitch and tuturu all of the place. NOW, a generic "not that bad"/"it takes time to warm up" dub becomes better for the wacky scientist and his compatriots to sound calm, cool, and overly hip. It looks like Funimation doesn't just reversion anime but it completely rewrites the fanbase as well. As for generalizing what I said is it's bad if you apply a generalization to one person. Generalizing is needed to sum up a large group of people, but applying it to one person is generally where people get upset :p You have it backwards. |

FailAtLife said: Hmm alright here goes... Okabe. Sub- Okabe sounds like he fail at life. Dub- Okabe sounds like he won at life. Hououin Kyouma sonuvabitch Kurisu. Sub- Kurisu sounds like she's japanese lollmaorofl Dub- Kurisu sounds like she's american lollmaorofl Tsundere. What's tsundere? Can I eat it? Mayuri. Sub- Mayuri is annoying. Dub- Mayuri is annoyin' Tutturuu~ What's tutturuu? You know what I'm sayin' You know what I'm sayin' --Come At Me Bro-- My thoughts exactly. |
| It's not that Okabe voice is bad it's just it's not as awesome as the Japanese voice and epic mad laugh (same voice actor as Kira) |
| I can't tell if I really like the dub or not at all. Okabe's voice has this elegant intelligent sound to it. It's a voice I'd imagine a scientist/doctor would have so while I feel it fits great with his role at the same time I don't know because a lot of the time Okabe isn't always like that(Like with his comedic side.) His laugh though is pretty evil so kudos for that. Although what I liked about Okabe's jap voice laugh was it was somewhat evil and yet had this comedic sound to it. His dub is like full on evil genius. lol Mayuri actually sounds fine to me. Same goes for Kurisu's voice. I think the only one I'm not to into is Itaru's dub voice. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| ewww dubs. it sickens me |
| I wanna know this line in episode 11. [Japanese] Okarin: Nurupo. Kurisu: Ga. [Funsub] Okarin: All your base are... Kurisu: Belong to us. And what about English dub? I wonder how Japanese internet meme translated? Update; I found answer by myself. Sub implies Rickrolling I guess. [Dub] Okarin: Knight-hart has been busy lately. Kurisu: Totally. [Sub] Okarin: Never gonna... Kurisu: ...give you up |

| This dub is horrible, and its not even a shot at the actors. This humor just does not translate at all. The Japanese just has so much energy, but this dub just sounds so stale and awkward. |
 |
| Watched one scene of the dub and the voices all felt too "regular." I thought the Japanese voice cast all made interesting voice choices that really elevated the characters. |

Relevant video for this thread. MidnightPride said: the voice actor for okabe just isnt okabe enough When you say that do you mean that the English voice actor doesn't sound enough like the Japanese voice actor? |
Tyestor said: Relevant video for this thread. How is it relevant? Because many of us dislike Steins Gate dub (which is a very poor dub) you imply we are "dub haters" ? Nice generalization there, buddy. |
