Bleach question

I like the Adult Swim version of bleach, I think for a dubbed anime it was done pretty damn well. Voice actors tolerable, no editing that I caught, kept a bunch of the JPN names... ya know... I aint complaining. Now you want to see shit watch english one piece.
 
Its always hard for me to watch dubbed after watching subtitled for so long. After awhile you just get used to the voices for each character and how the voices react with the actions of the characters. After getting adjusted to that, its hard switching to a whole new voice cast. Plus I just like the sound of the japanese voices. They're so much more into it than english dubbed. Course I haven't seen bleach dubbed so I can't really compare, but with past animes I've seen, these are the things I've noticed. Plus on cartoon network, they're behind on the episodes. I don't want to watch episodes I've already seen. I want to keep moving on with the series with the Japanese version.

This is all a personal preference. Theres nothing wrong with dubbed or anything and theres nothing wrong with watching it. I just personally prefer subtitled for reasons mentioned above.
 
The guy that does Vash the Stampede/Ichigo Kurosaki does a pretty good job, especially considering the increase in dubbing standards over the last decade. He's definitely one of the better actors around, up there with Stephen Blum and Richard Cox(Inu Yasha/Ranma Saotome in Season 3+) in my opinion.

Really, you don't see names changed anymore. It's pretty rare for a dubbing company to do that now. Pronouncing names wrong, sure, but rarely actually changing them no. Unless it's 4Kids, but they like to destroy anything they get a license to dub. One Piece, Viewtiful Joe :(

They're behind on the episodes because they started airing episodes about 2 years after bleach first started running. If they immediately picked up in the bount arc, no one but the fans who have watched the subs would have any idea who the characters were or what was going on and the show would tank. There have been several animes that have been dubbed really well, almost all within the last few years; due to the increased popularity of the medium, companies actually trying to dub things well.

Yeah Skaw, Johhny Yong Bosch does great work.
 
Urahara voice in english sucks donkey dick. the jap one is so much better and plays well to his character. but the other voices are pretty decent.

though i am glad they didn't censor the blood and swears. <,< fucking One peice english still makes me hurt inside.
 
I tend to not ever watch English dubs if I can help it, the Saiyuki one wounded me enough to stay away from any other new anime dubs, Original Japanese all the way. <3

Urahara's dub voice isn't as whimsical and carefree as the Japanese one, other than that I liked it. It might just be a cultural thing, just like Kakashi doesn't sound as stoned in the dub as he does in Japanese, but the voice is still good.

One thing I remembered that I didn't like in the last dubbed episode(where Ichigo meets Zangetsu for the first time) is that Zangetsu actually said his name and Ichigo just didn't hear it. In the Japanese version, they didn't actually air Zangetsu's name, you were listening from Ichigo's perspective and he couldn't hear the name yet, so neither could you. If you haven't watched the subbed version before, you don't know the significance of that, but it annoyed me that they would do that kind of thing.

Actually, I haven't touched fansubbed Bleach at all, and I realized the significance of the Zanpakuto name just because of what Renji had said in one of the previous episodes. Ofcourse, I kind of figured it out that he was Ichigo's Zanpakuto kind of right off the bat.
 
I would say that the so-called filler is fairly good (except for a rather weak start), but that depends heavily on what you like best about Bleach.

If you like it for the typical "shounen" aspects of it (hero gets beat up, hero powers up, hero wins), I guess the filler is rather pointless. On the other hand, if you happen to like the *other* characters more, then the Bounto arc gives them some well deserved air time.

As a Soi Fon fan, for example, her battle episode with one of the Bounto is quite possibly one of my favorite episodes of the whole series. As was seeing other characters (Kenpachi in particular) ripping it up in that arc.

Saw that yesterday, laughed for an hour straight.
 
I loved that VGcats. I think Scott got Byakyuya's expressions perfect in that comic. I thought it was an amazing piece of work (and funny as hell too).

I've been sifting through some of the old filler, and I've gotta say, watching Byakyuya (who is quickly becoming my favorite character) and Ichigo use Bankai against Kariya is pretty damn cool to watch.

Yea, VG did a really good job with that strip. Byakuya is a great character, but some others are becomng much more badass... mmmm manga.
