Pretty much speaks for itself doesn't it?
My curiosity of how the fuck Third would sound lost the battle of waiting for Jyu Oh Sei to come out on DVD. I could have just bought one episode but I ended up buying all 11 episodes. I knew that if I bought one I would end up wanting to buy them all.
I just finished watching the first two episodes. Fuck, if I remembered that Third didn't say shit in the first episode I would have jumped to the second one. I wish I did because Zagi's voice was just fail. I see the voice suiting him after like 6 years or whatever have passed, when he's older. At least young-Zagi is only in the first episode (if I remember correctly) so I don't have to suffer through that bullshit.
Young-Thor and Rai, I really don't have much comment on their voices. All I know is that one VA did both of their voices. I think there were some parts where the voices could have been switched. Thor just really sounds like too much of a pussy. Fuck, Tiz's voice sounds more masculine than Thor. Although, there's also the fact that Thor hasn't even gone through puberty yet ... It kind of amuses me how females make the little boys' voices in anime.
ZOMG TIZ! Tiz is fucking win in the dub. She's waaaaaaaaay less annoying than she is in the Japanese version. The dub makes me like Tiz. Forget about Thor, Tiz! You don't need him, I'll marry you! I'll let you have my babies too because I don't want to be a host to a leech. Her personality seems to get by across better in the dub than it did in the original. For now, after seeing two episodes, Tiz is the winnar of the dub.
Last but not least, Third ... I should have done Third third because he is third ... His voice is way more tolerable than Zagi's voice. The voice isn't really amazing and it's far from bad; it's really in between good and mediocre. My opinion is most likely biased though because I have so much impression left from the Japanese voice, which I absolutely loved. I'm sure I'll grow used to his voice because it really isn't that bad. The only one I have beef with is Zagi, so far.
Now for some non-voice related things ...
Maybe I wasn't paying attention well enough, or I didn't snort enough of my crack, but I could have sworn the first episode had translations of the opening and ending theme, while the second episode had romanization of the lyrics. Can we have some consistency here? I really don't feel like going back and checking but I just thought it was weird. Also, where the fuck was the bright one that put the lyrics typeset over the credits? You can't see either of them that way ... unless the goal was to fuck up my eyes.
Next up is the issue with the sound balance. It was kind of pissing me off on how I had to keep adjusting the volume. It was hard to hear what the hell was being said when there wasn't any background music, this is where I had to increase the volume. Then when the music came on while people were talking I went fucking deaf. That shit got loud and me praying that I didn't wake up anyone. I just want to micro-bitch about it because I don't really have anything to bitch about. I'm pretty sure that this issue may be on my part with my sound settings and my speakers. I have a sub-woofer, a medium size speaker on the floor under the computer desk, and a small (but fucking powerful) speaker on the computer desk. It's funny and freaky to hear voices coming from under the computer desk. On the next episode I'm going to try watching it with the default settings in Windows Media Player.
Lastly, the purchasing process! This really was the deciding factor here because I was hestitant about buying the episodes since I had thought I had to purchase the episodes through iTunes. I don't have an iTunes account and I don't really plan on ever using iTunes in the near future. I hate my iPod and I hate iTunes, and it just seems like they deliberately make things that should be simple as difficult as possible by adding unnecessary detials. The whole purchasing process went through FUNi, or it seem like it did, and it was really quick and easy to purchase the crap. Quick and easy makes me and my brain happy at 3 in the morning.

Date: 2008-07-30 07:18 pm (UTC)As for the credits, when the company doesn't dub the theme songs, t's pretty common for them to switch between translation and romanization every other ep. That way fans can learn the proper way to sing along and know what the song's saying. I know ADV does it and so does FUNi from time to time.
