Bleach Dub Episode 1 Discussion Thread

[Kabane]

So, its the first Dubbed Bleach Episode, aren't we excited.

The first episode is entitled "A Shinigami Is Born," which is clearly different from the japanese "The Day i Became a Shinigami." This English episode aired on YTV [@ 10:30pm Friday, September 08] and on AS [@ 12:30am Sunday, September 10]

Here, please discuss thoughts and/or speculation about the series. If you watch the japanese version, try to keep it to a strict [eng]episode-[jap]episode comparison and avoid "bashing" at all costs. Remember, the majority of this section will contain "noobs" lets not scare them shall we. (Though the first couple of episodes, expect minimal turn out as it'll only begin to circulate into the population)

/me laughs evilly.

ALRIGHT, i thought it wus good, i dont think it killed the anime at all, the voices suite most of the characters, ichigos voice wus ok. i think they did a pretty good job

[rurounikamv]

I must say I was pleasently surprised aside from the perk of not having to spend a few minutes placing a few eps on a dvd to watch on the big screen I was also very happy to see the lack of censoring done that usually results in half death of most Raw - Dub transitions.

Some name butchering occurs but come on its englisized and thats what happens really minimal imo. As well they actually do a good job with the voices they've picked. Mass majority of the dubs end up with static , emotionless voices with a few badly done screams here and there.

I was also glad with some of the things they kept like zanpakto. Of course some things will be changed ie spirit energy/soul reaper but depending on the subbed version you may have followed before licensing some used those terms anyways you just may not remember.


all in all I'm very pleased to see a minimal butchering of an anime I enjoy and just may watch it[the dub] here and there when I have free time to do as such.

on a side note those who compare the dub-sub/raw versions expecting a complete overlay to occur in order to be perfect is nothing different then the age old filler argument. If you don't read the manga its not filler to you its part of your anime, if you read the manga its filler to you . So if you watch the dub of course after this many subbed eps you'll have a high bias for the sub/raw and those who have never heard of bleach have just had there world rocked and will continue to tune in maybe even picking up the sub/raw.

7/10 best rating I've ever given a dub.

[Kanadian Kyuubi]

I'll tell you one thing now that is going to shock you: it was one of the best dubs ever made! In depth-review anyone?

The moment you've been waiting for - My Review! I'll be dividing my review into 3 parts, the Intro, the episode and voices, and a recap!

Intro:
I'm going to tell you one thing now that will shock you: WE GOT THE FULL OPENING! :D I'm going to tell you, it was one of the most trippy and original looking intros I have ever seen! Bright colors, a catchy song (aptly titled *, seriously!), and I didn't expect ANYTHING like that for a show of this caliber! Are the other intros this trippy and random? Man, that's a change from the ordinary nonetheless!

Oh look, I devoted an entire paragraph...just to an OP! Yes, I actually love the OP that much...

The Episode:
The visual effects during the opening were amazing...and they kept all the "subtitles" unedited during it as well (except for the last one, where there was English there too)! I'll tell you, Rukia's voice fits her well, and everything just fit into place. Then, they kept the fancy titlecards! No titles at all! Next week, I'd better just say "Bleach #02 Talkback/Reviews" as the title for the talkbacks!

Now, for the voices: Ichigo's voice sounds very unique and original, Johnny Yong Bosch did an excellent job potraying his character and doing him well, especially alongside Ichigo's wide range of expressions and moods (yes, such as Normal Ichigo, Mad Ichigo, Annoyed Ichigo, and Comically Mad Ichigo)! Every line was delivered excellently, and if he is reading this now, he should give himself a pat on the back!

Rukia sounded more deeper than I expected her to be, but still, she's a serious woman, and a serious Soal Reaper (notice that Studiopolis, unlike a dub for some other "very good Shonen", they kept consistancy between the manga and the anime, keeping the "Soul Reaper" name that Viz used for example, believe it!). Michelle Ruff and Rukia are a perfect match, of course!

The actual episode had some great action to kickoff the series, and of course this show of course has it's sense of humor of course! Firstly, let's recall the scene where Ichigo's Dad gave his son quite a rude awakening...WITH A KICK IN THE FACE! And, when Rukia was explaining the whole "whole spirit" thing...in small words that Ichigo could understand (:D), the illustration on the Whole Spirit side was pretty funny (a Bunny?!).

But absoutely, the best line (from Ichigo) went something like this, "Yeah, I believe in that...(angry)LIKE FLYING PIGS AND THE TOOTH FAIRY!!"

Recap:

I can tell that Studiopolis put high standards on this dub, keeping things as close to the original as possible, and giving us a professional, well-acted, and well executed dub as well! Even better, they even pronounced the names right!

10/10

Congratulations Viz, you passed with flying colors! I can tell you one thing, you are really going to enjoy the Bleach dub as much as the original!

Congratulations Viz, you passed with flying colors! I can tell you one thing, you are really going to enjoy the Bleach dub as much as the original!

Yes! I agree with you, Viz have really made the Bleach dub good!
They also kept the orignal music vid and music, which is another big bonus.

One of the many other things I loved about this dub is that they also kept most of the orignal script, AKA They didn't change all the words.

The voices where also brillant. When I heard the the guy from Trigun was doing Ichigo's voice, my heart sank. But when I watched the trailer, my hope for the dub raised once again.

All we need to do now is wait for what Orihimes voice is going to be like, until then, Viz have made this one of the best dubs Iv'e ever heard!

[Liete87]

Well, I dont have alot to say besides I thought it was pretty well done. :Domo

9/10

[wr80]

0/10 it totally killed it, translations are horrible voices don't even match the people, and worst of all.... They called the soul slayer a zanpaktou instead of soul slayer wtf....

[Liete87]

Another nit picking cry baby, cry me a river.

[wr80]

How can you think that its pretty well done? Were you blazing high while watching it? The animation wasn't bad I was suprised they let that much blood on it. I'll give it that just the translation really got me.

[Liete87]

How can you not think its well done? Compair it to something like Naruto then. (which even I admit is poorly done).

You can never get PERFECTION or please EVERYBODY doing a dub. They just did the best they could to please as wide of an audince as possible. AND many of the original names, including original intro and credits were kept in tact.

They did it to please japanese dub cry baby fanboys like you, yet your still squeeling about it.

[wr80]

They did poorly for it i'm a fanboy because i'm used to the japanese voices if I had saw the english first then i'd probably like it. I didn't say it had to be perfect but i'm not gonna be ass kisser like you just because it's english doesn't make it good. Of course I didn't think it would come anywhere close to the japanese version. And English Dubbed Naruto is no where close to as bad as this, seriously Shiginamis fight demons? What happened to hollows?

What happened to hollows?It did say Hollow's... did you look at Rukia's paper or even notice what she called it!? Im not an ass kisser if I was I would have gave it a 10/10 instead of a 9/10. Be honest with yourself and think back to all the english dubs you've watched...

How many of them were done better than this one?

Probably not to many.

You just have the "omg its a dub booo!" attitude bolted into your head like so many other idiots these days do.

[DragonBlade]

lol, you contradicted yourself abit. You are an asskisser to the Japanese version :p. They did use the term Hollow. It was good till the final part, rukia acting was poor there. Kon VA is Ugh. Your mindset is totally set on the Japanese Voice which takes the roles of the Bleach characters, it is probably difficult to adjust to different tones of voices since you are a fanboy.

[Kabane]

0/10 it totally killed it, translations are horrible voices don't even match the people, and worst of all.... They called the soul slayer a zanpaktou instead of soul slayer wtf....

you realize that "zanpakuto" is the official name for it.

[hasuke]

0/10 it totally killed it, translations are horrible voices don't even match the people, and worst of all.... They called the soul slayer a zanpaktou instead of soul slayer wtf....

PROTIP: Zanpakutou = the proper name. Soul Slayer = a half assed translation. Zanpakutou.
Zan = Chopping
Paku = Soul
Tou = Saber/sword

Translation: Soul chopping/cutting Saber/sword

Deduction: Soul Slayer is wrong.

Also, I thought the dub was great. Of course, I'm not some weeaboo fag.
I give your post a -50/10

EDIT:
My opinion? The dub was great, they just need to fix pronunciation. See, they have one of the japanese versions' producers there, dictating to them how to pronounce names. So they're pronouncing them like they can speak/have japanese accents. When they should just pronounce em with a normal accent. But hey, episode 1 is just the foundation. Look at series like Inuyasha. The beginning was lackluster with pronunciations, and as the series went on, people got better.

EDIT 2: Since a lot of you weeabooo tards probably won't understand my post, let me put it in a language you're familiar with.

HAI HAI NEKO GOZAIMASU! BUREACH DUBBU SOUNDED SUPER KAWAII NE NE? SUGOI JOB GAIJIN DUBBER-KUN ^____^!

[Liete87]

Well, Viz's official dvd release will be dual audio with on/off english subs, so everyone will be happy.

Unless he decides to complain about there subtitling anyway.

[hasuke]

And you know he will, because after all, Dattebayo (one of the worst fansub groups ever) is far better than some EVIL AMERICAN COMPANY WITH JAPANESE FLUENT PEOPLE TRANSLATING AND DOING SUBS OH GOD!

[gigguk]

My thoughts:

Voices - I thought most voices fitted really well. I would go as far to say that Ichigo's voice fits him perfectly, or very near perfection, better than the japanese VA IMO. I'm sure that if trigun never existed i'm sure johnny would be getting alot more credit if we'd never heard his vash voice (which would be a shame because he did exceptional on that aswell). So I'm a fan of Ichigo the stampede's voice and Johnny Bosh Young did exceptionally well for his first episode.

I thought Rukia's fitted pretty well, but it wasn't perfect. As for the voice acting, I thought it was done quite well, but again not perfect. (You can tell that she's never seen a single episode of bleach) Its still very early in the series though, and it does take time to grow into your role, so hopefully it will get better.

As for Ichigo's family, I thought they were great, they aren't major characters, but still they voices matches their parts. (The scene where ichigo and his dad fights was just gold, that was REALLY well done)

Traslations - No complaints here, they kept hollows, and called shiginamis soul reapers which I can live with. They also kept zanpakto which really suprised me, i myself am more used to soul slayers from watching Lunar fan-subs, although zanpakto is the original name.

Overall - I really enjoyed it, one of the best dubs I've seen in a while, and i am pro dubs.

9/10 - deduted a points becasue rukia's acting could've been better at times, but I'm sure this will improve as the series continues.
And just for the record:
They did poorly for it i'm a fanboy because i'm used to the japanese voices if I had saw the english first then i'd probably like it. I didn't say it had to be perfect but i'm not gonna be ass kisser like you just because it's english doesn't make it good. Of course I didn't think it would come anywhere close to the japanese version. And English Dubbed Naruto is no where close to as bad as this, seriously Shiginamis fight demons? What happened to hollows?

Ichigo called the hollow a demon because he didn't know what it was called, before the scene where Rukia explains what soul Reapers do.

[Minami Ikki]

0/10 it totally killed it, translations are horrible voices don't even match the people, and worst of all.... They called the soul slayer a zanpaktou instead of soul slayer wtf....
The term IS actually Zanpakutou...and by the way I think it would've sounded better as soul slayer frankly. I already told hasuke this. Sounds more..fitting to a sword..Otherwise the english bassed audience will not know what it is literally.
And dude, seriously you're waaay too harsh okay? Just be happy this dub wasn't done by 4kids, or god help us.
Turn ONs:
-The OP. I had forgotten how good it was, and they kept it original. <3
-VAs (Pertains only to Isshin, Rukia, and Ichigo) They were pretty good actually, atleast I didn't have to cover my ears :P
-The action. They kept the blood and effects and didn't cout out anything. (I think so anyway)
Turn OFFs:
-Pronounciation. I was talking to Hasuke about this earlier. Why is it that they NEED to make the original words SOUND jap? It's an english DUB so say it the white way.
-Ending was cut off by GI Joe. BOOOOO (Canadian run ep)
Overall: 8/10
I HAVE seen better, just not too much.

[Sciky]

Okay, I take back everything I say before, this is a brilliant dub, shouldn't have judged it, anyway the only things wrong so far is Yuzu, she's way to squeeky and constantly pronounces Karin and Ichigo wrong, infact in the bedroom scene she kept changing the way she said it every time.

There are some mistranslation errors, like Isshin was supposed to say something about the arriving home early instead of "so I guess its the ghost that didn't clear your room" and also Ichigo was meant to say "can you feel this dumbass!!" after Rukia said she can feel something, however I can get used to them as long as their alternative is funny.

And there's a little mispronounciation still with Ichigo and Karin's name, and Kuchiki, they emphesise the "ku" to much, I think though that its not completely bad because at some points they're saying things correctly and sometimes not, like when Rukia says Zanpaktou the first time its fine, then when she says it at the end it comes out as Zanpak"toe" so they could still pronounce the names and weapons correctly sometimes.

I love the way they call the Kidou spells, half using the japanese and English terms, however I hope they make the descriptions of the abilities of the attacks they do more accurate, Rukia said she paralyzed Ichigo in the dub when that's not what Sai does, as Ichigo could still move because he could get up.

Apart from that the dub is amazing so far and all the problems are only little things, next episode we get to hear Inoue, Tatsuki, Kon, Keigo, and DON KAN'ONJI!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Inoue from that sample clip of what her actor previously did sounds like a very good Inoue if she makes herself sound a little older, Tatsuki is apparently a good dub actor, as for Kon I'm not really sure about him, I half like him, half hate him because he sounds too old, however he still seems crazy, so he's okay.

Keigo has now had his voice actor added to the list on Anime news network, http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4240 I don't watch many dubs so I'm not sure if this guy is good or bad so you guys can judge, the one voiceing him is Yuri Lowenthal.

I think this dub so far is very good, and all the little mistakes will probably be fixed, and they wont matter that much anyway.

[Seilin]

I just watched the dubbed anime from Youtube and it was great. I never hated all dubs like some people, but this was better than I expected and way better than how some people bashes it before even watching it. Some pronuniciations may be a bit weird, but I think I can live with that. I like Rukia's voice and all, but it may take time for me to get used to hers and I really like Ichigo's and Karin's voice. So far, I would say Ichigo's voice has the most matching one to the japanese one and his character.

[wr80]

Ok Really and shiginami is the proper term not soul reaper so don't tell me that by using zanpaktou is correct. And Naruto dubbed did a way better job then bleach.

[Icchy <3]

Maybe Viz wanna teach people more Japanese ;P
Seriously, why does it even matter if it is Zanpaktou.

We know what it means, and only people with half a brain won't be able to figure out that Zanpaktou is the name for the sword.

Just because it's a english Dub, it doesn't mean every single word in the program has to be in english.

[Seilin]

I'm not sure whats wrong with Naruto because I have never watched the dub of it, but when did they call the shinigamis a zanpaktou? Maybe I missed it or something but towards the end, Rukia did say zanpaktou when referring to Ichigo's big sword.

[Shizor]

Ok Really and shiginami is the proper term not soul reaper so don't tell me that by using zanpaktou is correct. And Naruto dubbed did a way better job then bleach.

You do realize it was the creators wish that it be translated as soul reaper, right?

Jeez, you're pretty ****ing stupid. The dub was fantastic, it puts the 50 episodes of the Naruto dub to shame in it's first episode.

[wr80]

Not even close....and your pretty stupid yourself flaming me so openly like that hope you enjoy getting your post edited/deleted. Plus this is all opinion based so for you even calling me stupid for my opinions well that just makes you mentally retarded.

[Kabane]

okay, we're crossing the line now. Stop it, everyone. Change the subject.

[Icchy <3]

Yeah, sorry Ryuuken, It has got a little outta hand, Huh?

Anyway, the best line in this episode has to be Ichigo when he throws the table up in the air. "Yeah, I belive it.. ALONG WITH FLYING PIGS AND THE TOOTHFAIRY!"

Haha.. >_>

(Lame attempt)

[wr80]

That was funny I think that was a line along with a couple other that were better then the japanese episodes.

[Littlelegs]

it was pretty good...I give it a 4/5

Voice Actors were pretty good so far and not much censoring at all. Keeping the original intro and music is a bonus.


but this is only the 1st episode and I dont wanna say its the best Dub or the worst Dub. To me it takes 10-15 episodes to really judge a Dub as I would like to see Sado,Ishida,Orihime, Kisuke's voices as well.


However, so far so good

[Mizusa]

As a major fan of Bleach, watching all the Japanese episodes so far and now watching the English cause I forget the beginning XD, I thought it was actually well done. I'd say best english dub yet~ Grats to them! Ichigo's voice made me laugh my ass off at first, but after, I got used to it and was like "Hmm he could be good!" Rukia.. she's an interesting character... I actually couldn't figure out if she was a boy when I started watching it in JapaneseXD(I know, Im stupid!) Its cause her voice was sooo low. The english ACTUALLY had some good moments. She does have the girly quality, but in the end, she can get pretty low. Ichigo's dad really bothered me for some reason O_o it was like... too.. manly for him? XD Oh well, still pretty well done. I was sad that he didnt scream "WELCOME HOME ICHIGO!!!!" or maybe thats in a different episode. Like I said before, I cant remember these early episodes :P

Now.. as for the sisters. I think they were probably the best voices. Well, maybe not Karin, but Yuzu was my favourite! I didnt actually think they could find a english voice actor to get that really cute Japanese female voice and NOT be annoying! But they did! Karin was also well done, at around the end though when she was getting crushed by the hollow, she got kinda weird O_o.. not like being squished weird.. a different kind..

Grats to all voices and they better continue to be good! Or ellseeee*shakes fist* Please dont ruin Byakuya, Renji, or Urahara!!!! >____< ('Specially Urahara <3<3<3~)

[C.Payne]

I think Ichigo's dubbed voice suited him, better than Naruto's dubbed voice anyway >_>

[Mizusa]

Ewww yes, Naruto voices were soo terrible >_< Well.. Sasuke's was okay.. But Naruto and Sakura's wre pretty bad.. then I stopped watching it so I dont how any of the other voices turned out XD

[LegendaryXM90]

Suprise...Sakura's voice actor plays Karin... o_o

Rukia and Yuzu are also played by the same woman.

[Mizusa]

Omg very surprise :O Thats kinda funny though when ya think bout it XD And thats weird how the lady who plays Rukia and Yuzu can get so low.. yet so high O_o

[LegendaryXM90]

Yes, it shocked me as well. She didn't sound like Rukia...or Michelle Ruff for that matter. O_O

[Icchy <3]

Wow, I didn't know that Yuzu and Rukia have the same VA!
Thanks for that info, Legendary :)

Keep all the info coming Lol.

[sky_kraft]

honestly in my opinion i rekon its was crap all the voices were crap besides ichigo's, didnt like it. Rating 5-6/10

[wr80]

Yuzu sounds to old for her age but I thought Sakura did good for Naruto. It could go good if they have a really good chad or Inoue.

[LegendaryXM90]

Oh yeah, that reminds me wr80, Hinata's voice actor plays Inoue, and Sasuke's voice actor will be playing Keigo (Ichigo's classmate).

I really think they could've put Yuri in a better position...Keigo is such a minor role... :(

[wr80]

O good Hinata is really good in Naruto.

[Kabane]

yeah, im really excited to hear Hinata as Inoue..i think it would fit perfectly.

[hasuke]

You do realize it was the creators wish that it be translated as soul reaper, right?

Precisely. Further proof is, as I've stated before, bleach OST 1. "Blaze of the Soul Reaper" is a song.

[Darksong17]

Just saw the YouTube posts of it. Will be watching it on Adult Swim tonight as well. I thought it was very good for a dub. I'm usually pretty skeptical about dubs. From what I've heard of FMA (saw an episode a while back) that was a great dub, as for Naruto (which I'm not a big fan of but listened to a bit anyway) it wasn't horrible but could have been done better for sure. I think Sakura and Ino's voices bothered me the most but those characters bothered me to begin with ;P.


My opinions:

Rukia: While Rukia's voice could use a bit of work, it fit pretty well in my opinion. Hopefully the voice artist will manage to get Kuchiki right next time ;P.

Ichigo: Looses it a bit in the less emotional areas, but is still very good.

Yuzu & Karin: Yuzu's bothered me a bit, just sounded kinda annoying. Karin's fit pretty darn well.

Girl ghost: Sounded to old and just didn't seem to fit in my opinion.

Hollow: Threw me off a bit because it was so much different from the japanese tone of voice it had but wasn't to bad.

Isshin: Maybe needed to sound a bit older but again not bad.

Kon: Very very different from his original voice. Can't decide whether it fits or not. May grow on me. Let's hope he learns how to say his name ;P.


Some of the translations bothered me a bit. Be it that they were just very different or kind of lame. Also.. when Karin is in the Hollow's hand and Ichigo trys to save her doesn't she say "Ichigo run away!" or something to that effect in the Japanese version (or at least in the sub)? Cuz she said "Ichigo help/save me!" or something like that in the dub O.o


Anyway, overall it looks pretty damn promising. Now I shall go fret over the voices of future characters XD

[KDash]

It was ok I guess but I think they need to adress the names better, Ichigo Kurasaki I think it sounds ok but Ruika Kuchiki, I think thats a no no, I think they should have stay with Plus and not Wholes, I think Plus sound better.

[KDash]

Oh yeah, that reminds me wr80, Hinata's voice actor plays Inoue, and Sasuke's voice actor will be playing Keigo (Ichigo's classmate).

I really think they could've put Yuri in a better position...Keigo is such a minor role... :(

I dont think it will fit, sasuke voice is not funny and Keigo is kinda like the clow of the serie although hes a minor character.

[tobiee]

hey atleast we can all agree its a good thing he wasnt saying belive every other sentence (naruto):Domo

[BadLTD]

^Agree lol

The voice may not match the chracters but Im just happy its Dub.But Im still sticking with the Japenese version.ICHIGO!!!!

[InsanesnakeShinigami]

I thougt the dub would be better. I was super annoyed by Isshin's voice. but overall the voices were okay. I love the little editing(yay blood! unlike naruto and one piece)

[Scarfman]

I suppose the english dub wasn't too bad.. but there is always a huge difference between english and japanese anime, because you cant get the same level of vocal emotion in english as you can in japanese without sounding stupid. In my opinion voices always seem duller in english dubs, as is the case here.

[wr80]

Well now that I'm watching it for a second time he isn't too bad at Ichigo it defiently fits him.

[DarkenReaper57]

Overall, I think the dub is good, although I have a few gripes:

1. Ichigo's voice isn't bad, but I wish it were a bit deeper and more brash, like the original. Whenever I hear it, I think of Vash from Trigun, the dub of which I did not like. It seems as though the actor has gotten better with Ichigo, though.

2. Rukia's voice is a bit too...soft and dainty. She is a much stronger and brash character, much like Ichigo. Once again, it isn't bad, and perhaps I am just used to the original voices. If I had seen the dub first, perhaps I would prefer the english voice.

3. They call the the shinigami "Soul Reapers" instead of Death Gods, or as I would prefer "shinigami". I do like that they retained Zanpaktou. Hopefully they do this for shinigami, or stick to "Death God" They both are more suiting than Soul Reaper, imho. It would be best to stay consistent.

Otherwise, I think the dub was done well. It is bound to get better, of course, so this is something to look forward to.

3. They call the the shinigami "Soul Reapers" instead of Death Gods, or as I would prefer "shinigami". I do like that they retained Zanpaktou. Hopefully they do this for shinigami, or stick to "Death God" They both are more suiting than Soul Reaper, imho. It would be best to stay consistent.
Otherwise, I think the dub was done well. It is bound to get better, of course, so this is something to look forward to.
I'll quote myself from the other thread:
"Kubo requested that the English translation for shinigami be Soul Reaper, thats why there is a song on the OST 1 called "Blaze of the Soul Reaper.""

[Mount Gay]

I think the dub was pretty good. I just can't wait to hear other characters voices. Overall I think they did a good job with Ichigos and Rukia's. Even though they weren't the way they were in japanese, they were still really good. Even though it was prefect, I still enjoyed it.

[speshle_ed]

It was okay. I really didnt like any of the voice actors they didnt do it for me. Though I am glad that they kept the same music and the translations seems pretty much right from what I remember from the first episode havent watched it in a while.

Thing with me though was the opening the audio kept changing, like sound level and then the name butchering got me too. Especially with Kon, Im pretty sure I heard "Cone". Then I was never one for Johnny Bosch since Ive seen him at cons and my respect fro him lowered dramaticly but I wont get into that.

So with my rating for it 5/10.

[Sporty]

I think Bleach will be a success in America. The dubbing seems fine to me. Of course the wording is different here and there, but all in all it's fine. I'll watch another few episodes to see how it's working out. It should be fine though. Just of course I'm focusing on the dialogue and characters voices from anything else. Seeming I've seen the show before.

[Kon_Luvr]

Oh yeah, that reminds me wr80, Hinata's voice actor plays Inoue, and Sasuke's voice actor will be playing Keigo (Ichigo's classmate).

I really think they could've put Yuri in a better position...Keigo is such a minor role... :(

I've already heard his Keigo voice and it's really hysterical. You will love Keigo. Yuri Lowenthal will steal any scene he's in where he has a chance to be funny. Not in the next episode though as he only has two lines.

[Exodus]

The episode was good. Anyone else still got chills when they listened to the opening?

Anyways, I really want to see the dub progress, just out of curiosity. It gives me a chance to use my tv once more other than watching everything in the internet.

I liked Isshin's voice, so full of energy, to me that is, I don't know about you guys.

Just got to get used to somethings and it will be an all right show.

[OMGWTFitzBEN]

IMO, I thought the dub was great, possibly not the best, the animation and humor are still great. Probably the only bad thing was the chosen voices, they could have been better, but they're still fine. If you enjoy Bleach, then you would think the Dubbed version is alright. Unlike Naruto, which is on Cartoon Network, this is on Adult Swim (Or YTV, whatever, that's in Canada), and Adult Swim doesn't really anything except strong lanuage and a couple words, they make it more 'English', if you get what I mean. Like instead of Ichigo flipping out when Rukia explains what happens in this episode and starts swearing and crap, in the Dubbed he says "I'll believe that...JUST LIKE FLYING PIGS AND THE TOOTH FAIRY!". That was just great. This dub is just fine, it's not the worst. This anime deserves a 8/10. :D

Hmm, I wonder what Naruto would have been like on Adult Swim.

[Icchy <3]

Hmm.. Well, Obivously this dub isn't as good as the FMA Dub or the DBZ Dub, Because they where just awesome.

When I first saw the Bleach Dub cast on Bleach Portal, I nearly jumped out my window. Ichigo > Vash = Crap Dub.
After watching the Trigun dub a while ago, I was conviced that the VA was going to make a huge mistake for this dub, but, alas, Vash came through!

While I watched the dub (and loading my gun to shoot my whole family in a crazy rage), I realised that Bleach Dub WASN'T bad! The voices where acually good, they kept the orignal OP Song and they didn't edit any blood!

I began to slowly put my gun down on the floor (then quickly picking it up again when I heard Isshin and Yuzu) as watched the Dub. All in all, a good effort, it atleast saved about half of my familey.

8/10.

(P.S: This is like, my 3rd review on the first episode, Lawl.)

[kiMMii]

Ok i wish rukia voice was deeper not too girly, kon sounds retarded but either way its cool i can handle dubs but if the voices get all childish thats when i dont like to watch them. Ichigo's voice isnt identical, the original sounds better but only by a little.

[Zenpou Tenshin]

well, they did a pretty good job on rukia....but i wasn't suprised of Ichigo's voice :(

[Ollson]

I actually think that both Rukia's and Ichigo's voices are a little too deep.

[Sciky]

I've already heard his Keigo voice and it's really hysterical. You will love Keigo. Yuri Lowenthal will steal any scene he's in where he has a chance to be funny. Not in the next episode though as he only has two lines.

Where did you hear his Keigo voice?

[bfly_san]

I think it was pretty good, i was actually impressed that they didnt kill the anime.i dont think they edited much out of it (thank god. for the people that think it was horrible, i only have this to say: it coulve been worse, it couldve turned out like the dubbed naruto.

[FreedoM]

Watched it on Adult Swim. I must say it was pretty decent. I was a little disappointed in Ichigo's dad's voice because I was expecting it to be a little deeper. As for Rukia her voice is too high when in the Japanese version she sounds like she is about 18 or older. It was cool for them to keep the intro and ending. As for Kon, his VA is a little...weird. Overall, the dubbed series is pretty good, but they better do a good job on Byakuya or else....

[Toasty]

I recorded it last night because I had a previous engagement. I just finished watching it, and OMG I thought they did a good job. I still think the Japanese version was better, but I though Ichigo and Rukia's voices fit their characters. I was scared they'd give them whiney voices or something. They held plenty of emotion, and had I actually not seen the Japanese version first, I may have thought they were the original voice actors. They did a good job.

As for the translations, I don't think anything important was "lost" in the translations. Perhaps a few comments were mis-translated, but that will always happen in dubs and was completely expected.

I was ecstatic to hear them use Zanpakutou and Hollow. A little disappointed in Soul Reaper, but come on, some of the dubs used it.

For me, I think the episode got a 9/10.

[Damascus]

Ok, here's my detailed run-through, as is watching on YouTube.

First of all, I'm ecstatic that they kept the whole opening, I was afraid they were going to cut it down like they did with Eureka Seven. Kudos to Adult Swim!

Rukia's voice is pretty good, though it seemed kinda unemotional at the start. Ichigo's voice is awesome! Fits the character very well, and has a good emotional range. ^.^

Isshin's voice is pretty good, though notably different than Japanese voice, I like it! As for Yuzu and Karin's fit very well too. So far, I'm very impressed. I noticed they added a few cheesy lines in where there wasn't in the Japanese version. >.> hmm.....

Lol, I kinda like how they changed "What?" into "What sound? I don't hear anything except the U--AAAAH!!!" Of course, it seems they took some "liberties" with the translation, but I don't mind, at least they aren't making it really cheesy.

Ah, instead of "Hollows" they said "demons!" That worried me at first, but they said Hollows from then on, so that's okay. And so far, Rukia's voice seems a little off, but it'll probably just take some getting used to. It's still got that deep tonation that the original Rukia voice had. Ichigo's voice is spectacular still. The word "Konso" confused me too... I'm used to Lunar's "Soul Burial" translation.

Eep, I don't like the Hollow's voice, I'm afraid. If they would have at least put the echo on its voice it would seem better. They took all the mystery out of its voice... :( Wow, Ichigo's voice was really good as he was straining to break the Bakudou, a LOT of emotion as he screamed. I was afraid it would be half-assed, but I am VERY pleased by it. ^.^

At that point where Ichigo is almost killed by the Hollow, and you see Rukia shout something, they probably should have left it silent. I'm reminded of the Evangelion movie, where Gendo says something just before he shoots that woman and it's just silent.

They said "Zanpakutou," rather than Lunar's "Ghost Cutter," or the manga's "Soul Butter." EEK! The inflection on Rukia's surname was way off, it kinda made me cringe. They said "KU-chi-ki" rather than "ku-CHI-ki." As far as the anime goes though, that's only minor. It'll bother me a lot more when it gets to talking about the Kuchiki family though...

Kon's voice is dissapointing to me. Not as annoying, and more cliche. It reminds me a LOT of Kero's English voice from Cardcaptors, and I hated that voice!

Altogether, I'm very pleased with the dub, and I'm happy they kept the original Japanese words, though they sound weird with American accent. ^.^

[Tokoyami]

I saw it last night, about 12:30. Eh, one dude on the first page of this topic put it best. They'r eover pronouncing the japanese words, and try to sound to....dramatic ((for lack of a better word.))((I.E. the way rukia was describing soul society was...slightly corny)). But i like Ichigos voice, its kinda different from the japanese one, but i still get the same attitude from it. I love his family's voices, those are perfect in my opinion. The hollow, sounded like a slimy grundgy english voice, like the japanese one sounds like a sludgy, grundgy japanese voice. It was all good.

it'll get better, just like inuyasha did.

[Minami Ikki]

I actually think that both Rukia's and Ichigo's voices are a little too deep.
I think ichigo's voice isn't deep ENOUGH. He may be 15 but he sure as hell doesn't look 15. I should know >_>

[Guy]

Here's my review:

Ichigo: Not bad! His voice could be a bit deeper, though. The part where he fought off the kidou was brilliantly displayed.

Rukia: Needs a deeper voice. She doesn't sound like a tomboy. Also, it was weird when she said ZanpakuTOE and BaKUdo instead of BAHkudo. But those were minor errors, and I'm not gonna take off points for that. I'm just saying.

Isshin: Pretty nice. I like his ecstaticness.

Karin: Wow... I can't believe I'm saying this, BUT KARIN IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE JAPANESE VOICE!! I love the english voice for Karin, and she's the only voice I like better than the original Japanese voice.

Hollow: Nothing too big. About what I expected.

Kon: NOOO!!! They ruined him! I don't like Kon's english voice. It's just wrong.

Overall score: 7/10 (I gave Naruto dub a 2/10, and FMA dub a 7.5/10)

[peacmaker]

I'am glab they kept the opening theme song and like the close them song as well. As fore English was O.K., but I felt the voice cast don't match well with the leading roles. The voice they choice for the lead roles don't adding even life to the characters, I just feel that actors could put more heart into first episode. However, I will give them a chance to prove themselves and see how they handle themselves through the series. Even way it was pretty good and can't wait for more.

[Mizusa]

:O:O:O Hiding something are weeeee? :P Well the thing is, if they screwed up Bleach, theyd have absolutely NO viewers. Bleach is like the new fave anime out there atm, and they cant screw it up or they get no viewers and no money.. so ultimately, they lose! Like they completely ruined Ed from FMA, Al was kawaii! Whinly.. meh.. all the others were well done.. just Ed makes me wanna liek rip my ears out. They shouldve found a girl to do Ed like in Japanese! But then thatd probably bomb too... -_- And like Naruto, Ive only seen maybe 20ish of the english eps. cause they stopped playing new ones here for some reason... O_o Naruto sorta bugged me, but it was still pretty cute. Sasuke's was awesome, Sakura was pretty good. I liked Rock Lee's voice, it suited him. But I'm not a major Naruto fan so I guess I can't badmouth it. :P But ANYWAYS! Yea, if they messed up Bleach, people would be rioting in the streets (I'd lead them XD)

[KDash]

Cant wait to hear Gins voice, I want to hear him say "Shoot to Kill, Shinsou"

[Mavvy]

All in all. I really enjoyed the Dub.

Ive seen fandub voice Ichigo and werent very successful. I thought this Ichigo's VA was pretty good. Rukia could have done just a tad bit better in my opinion.

I loved how they kept the original OP/ED song and video. I loved how they kept "zanpakutou". It surprised me when Rukia said "Konso" and "Bakudo". But its nice to keep some japanese original words in it.

If I never watched the FanSub before, I would be going crazy right now after seeing an anime like that. It would have certainly caught my attention.

[Gettles]

Cant wait to hear Gins voice, I want to hear him say "Shoot to Kill, Shinsou"

I can't wait to hear the reaction to Gin's voice. I can already hear the ubbie-otaku's cries of "Ichimaru sounds retared with a sothern accent!" Or if they don't give him an accent "What Gin sounds like everyone else! They ruined him!" as there is no pleasing their kind.

Oh well. We get to see all the chaos of next week when Orihime says "Ichigo" as opposed to "Kurosaki-kin" so that should be fun.

lol, thats kinda what I mean, I want to hear if it sounds good or bad, I hope they dont ruind him, since he is my second favorite character.

[blackrican]

overall, it was alright. i still the japanese version better. but they did good on some parts. like the fight between ichigo and his dad was still funny as hell. kon's voice. omg wth? thats horrible. but ne wayz. i can't wait to hear how they pronouce bankai. especially byakuya. it'll be interesting.

[TheWaterBearer]

That dub was awsome.Its was like a new feature of dubbing.I can't wait for the next one.

[Angel_shikigami]

It was good. KON'S VOICE SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!! (that thing at the end with Kon). YAY!!!! No more OMGAHHHHHHHH Rukias va. Hated her voice in jap.

Wow, at first I thought that the English dub would be horrible and that they would butcher the show but it's actually really good, compared to a lot of other dubs! I definitely didn't like Rukia's voice in this one, but I guess I can get used to it as well as calling the shinigami Soul Reapers, minor stuff, but this is prety good. Something that's worth my Friday Night ;)
I can't wait to hear Byakuya's voice cuz he was one of my favoritesand RENJI'S cuz his voice is like raspy and I hope they don't ruin him! One of my favorites heh

Btw, it's aired Friday Nights @ 10:30 pm on Adult Swim, right?

[LegendaryXM90]

That's only in Canada. It airs on Saturday (Sunday for you literophiles) at 12:30 on [adult swim].

[siNical]

You mean it airs 12:30 pm Eastern Time???????
There goes the chance for me to watch it...anyone know when the reruns are?

[LegendaryXM90]

OMG. 12:30 A.M. for EVERYWHERE in the U.S.

Reruns are at 3:30 A.M.

[Otakuprincess24]

Okay first off I have to say that I'm a huge fan of Bleach and was both anxious and excited to hear that it was going to be on Adult Swim. After watching the first episode last night, I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. The voice actors were, on the whole, decent *especially for Rukia* but Ichigo's voice in English doesn't sound right. Is it just me? Don't get me wrong, Johnny Yong Bosch is a great VA, I just don't think he portrayed Ichigo properly. I imagined his (Ichigo's) voice a bit deeper *like in the Japanese* The translation was iffy at times, and there were times that I had to scratch my head and go "he said what?" I guess that happens to some extent in all anime when it's translated. I don't want to sound too harsh because I absolutely love the show. I'll keep watching it just to hear more of the show. Maybe Ichigo's voice will grow on me. We'll have to wait to find out...

[siNical]

any reruns when its possible that i can watch them...? =( so disappointing

[Littlelegs]

I believe it will get better as we see more episodes and getting used to the voice

[Halbard]

OMG. 12:30 A.M. for EVERYWHERE in the U.S.

Reruns are at 3:30 A.M.

12:30 AM eastern, 11:30 PM central on Adult swim. Not 12:30 everywhere.


Anyway. I thought they did a great job with the dub Rukia's voice was pretty good I tuohgt, Ichigo was good. Though Ichigo's Dad and his youngest sister, cant remember her name, werent as good as I thought they could be but his dad was still funny. Karin's voice I thought was just top. So good job all and all. Ill keep watching :biggrin and Im glad they kept the openning and endings the same.

[Winter-war]

i have to say im somewhat impressed about the dub so far but still needs alot though but its okay so far. the problem i have right now is the actors using the words kidou, and especially zanPAKtou its really not necessary for them to say that. they could say soul slayer or demon magic i know they are trying to include much of the original context as possible but come on...its not needed they sound ridiculous

[annboo23]

i thought it was pretty good...better then i expect it to be...give it a chance...its not that bad...and after reading some posts on here...its seems that many agrees...and of course there are the "others"...

Yeah since I've watched LUNAR fan-subs all the way through I'm used to soul slayer and demon magic. But then again its always imposible to please everyone that watches it.

[equIs]

I think they did a pretty good job on the dub'd version, yes you are going to have some mistakes or something thats not going to fit but everything cant be perfect. My 2cents XD.

[ProtoFunc]

Finally watched it and imo, it was pretty for a dub. Although i think that rukia's voice over lacked ALOT of emotion (especially during the part when they showed her drawings), other than that, looks like it'll actually be something i wouldn't mind keeping up with just for the heck of it. A huge surprise to me though was how much blood they showed. I was expecting adult swim to clean it up entirely, but i guess not, which is added cool points.

You act like Adult Swim makes a point to cut out as much blood as possible. I mean, conpaired to Ghost in the Shell, Bleach is pretty tame.

[Damascus]

I'm kind of scared for Ichimaru's voice too. The tendency is to translate an Osaka accent into a Southern accent, and I'm hoping they try something new so he doesn't sound too retarded. I want it to be like the way this fan-dubber did it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUBYcGtPbXQ

His Ichimaru voice was amazing!

[hasuke]

Personally, i feel they should give Gin a kind of laid back, lazy accent. Not TOO southern (don't want him to sound like a cowboy, but not too proper either)

Example:

Random Phrase: "Well I don't know about that, it's a little hasty don't you think?"
Random phrase when spoken by Gin: 'Well i dunno 'bout that...lil hasty, dontcha think?"

[The_lone_sprit]

I didn't Watch the Dub but i am thinking of it just to check it out but it comes on when i go to bed as i read it sounds it like almost ruined the anime I actually don't really like Dubs much

Where did you read this? How can an anime be ruined if the first episode only showed two main characters, shinigami and whole were the only prominent words turned to English, and the script followed the original almost completely? This thread itself has more positive reactions than negative ones and I have found no thread on any site that has overwhelmingly negative reviews that even warrant anything close to "ruining" the anime. I'm optimistic and looking forward to Inoue, Tatsuki, and Rukia's girly voice next episode.

Most of the voices are good, I liked Zaraki's voice, but Ichimaru's is really good, Hinamori and Toushiro's too, as well as the ichigo.

[The_lone_sprit]

on The fourm i meant >_> ....

[aznxangel]

doode ..

the dub was the best i have ever seen yet !!
like , i thought ichigo's voice was pretty good ..
well, all the voices so far were :p

i think rukia's voice is a little bit T00 emotionless sometimes and sounds like a robot , but then again, it IS rukia >]

and i love the "zanpakutou"
hyukhyuk ~~
"soul reaper" sounds weird after hearing "shinigami" all the time , but i'll get used to it :)

and H0MFG .
I HATE K0N'S V0ICE .
in the end i was like "wtfh hkdag;mekajdkae"
his voice sounds so phreakking annoying .
but that's my opinion .

and also , i don't think there were any cuts either !!
everyone was talking about adult swim cutting out stuff ..

but they doesn't cut out THAT much though , i mean , look at the first episode of Trinity Blood that was before that , with the exploding hearts and everthing--
loL :)

[matthias667]

the only thing i didnt really like about the dub was Ichigo's "anger" or whatever in his voice seemed kind of forced... maybe it was just me

[orochimaru7810]

this wasnt that bad i think i can live with the dub it was ok i liked the voices so far lets just hope they stay good :)

[OMGWTFitzBEN]

That youtube video was a fanmade one I believe.

[hajinmon]

Is there anywhere I can watch or download the official dubbed version? My roommates and I are too poor to afford to buy a TV.

[razasharp20]

Im not even remotely an anti dub fanboy like a lot of people but i was not impressed by this dub at all. In fact it really just assured that I will continue to watch the subs only. I thought the voices sounded like bad actors, though they fit the characters in comparison vocally to their japanese counterparts. I mean maybe its due in part to difficult translation, but this sounded like a bad B movie. I can honestly say that I may have lost interest in Bleach if I had started on the dub not subbed eps(thank you Lunar).I'll watch it just to see how they handle the other translations like Sado and Ishida.

[greenwave_boi]

personally i liked all their voices...yea rukia was a lil bit off at times but ichigo is dead on(although i hear vash in there but i know y that is).......

the fight between ichigo and his dad = still a classic

i use my tivo to watch that part over and over lol

[ProtoFunc]

well, havn't really seen Ghost in the Shell so i wouldn't really know.. but i'm just saying, i was surprised nonetheless..

again, yeah, like said above, my main prob with it was maybe only Rukia's emotionless tone/voice.. i was pretty dissapointed with that

Well at least it was better then this dub:

Huh, bad voices. Rukias was worse. It was only Karins voice that was ok.

[Iro]

i must admit... kons voice sounded different, i expected a much more funnier one similar to the japanese version. ichigo's voice was ok, rukia sound so sweet and feminine compared with the jap version. I pretty much likes the first dubbed episode it was fun and its nice to recall certain episode :)

[Sciky]

Didn't episode 2 air a few hours ago?

[Sciky]

I got it wrong, it was 10:30 pm, so YTV is currently airing bleach right now is it? its 10:35pm, I hope its on, then someone will upload it on youtube.
