| Current mood: uncomfortable Subject: Naruto Dub! |

| Just as a warning, the following contains ramblings about VAs and name pronounciation and will probably be really boring to anyone who isn't a Naruto fan. So yeah, I just saw a clip from the Naruto dub. To be fair, it wasn't as bad as I had previously imagined, and it could have been a lot worse, but it was hardly the best dub I've ever seen. I thought the VA for Iruka was pretty good, but Naruto's VA was just annoying and far too high-pitched. Mizuki's name was pronounced wrong (it was said as 'mi-zoo-ki' when really, all the syllables should be short, and if they have to emphasize part of the word, it should be the first syllable, not the middle one.) I was pleased to see that Naruto's name was pronounced sort of correctly, without the emphasis on the middle syllable that dubs often seem to insist on using. (And just to be really picky, their mini-synopsis wasn't even accurate: "...but when he steals a forbidden scroll, he unleashes a rare and dangerous power.' They make it sound like he received a mysterious power from the scroll or something, when really, Mizuki uses Naruto's theft of the scroll to tell Naruto he had the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox into him at birth, making Naruto angry enough for a little of the fox's chakra to seep through and make him unusually powerful. The only thing he got from that scroll was how to perform Kage Bunshin No Jutsu ('Shadow Replication Technique,') which I wouldn't call a 'rare and dangerous power', no matter unusual it is for a low-ranking ninja to be able to use it.) |
