it was even funnier on the Manga, because when Saito said he had a wife and kenshin and misao were all shocked, there was a small caption below saying "this is historical fact, not making this up"
Ohh I rolled out of my chair laughing when I read that part, because in real life, the real saito REALLY DID HAD A WIFE NAMED TOKIO.
same here & i strongly prefer it to the fullest...i ain't japanese & i ain't gonna waste my time read subs most of the time. & contrary to what that other dude's half-ass comment the english dub is honestly pretty good in my honest opinion. lots of familiar sounding voice actors
Alright look. Saito is evil and cold blooded of course. but c'mon he can be funny and nice sometimes too. Pretty sure when it comes to family time for saito, he dosent act like that anymore. Maybe he have a soft side too.
Kenshin's Japanese voice-actor (actually actress, iirc) is sooooo much better for the character than the English dub, because he (she?) actually alters Kenshin's voice between when he's being goofy and nice and when he's in Battousai Mode. Effectively gives the character more depth and underscores that Kenshin has that darker side to himself.
The English actor doesn't even bother. Too lazy, I guess. Or talentless. Or both.
@anirai1516 - Kenshin meant that Tokio has a reached a goddess level in patience and love. Even then, even the most baddass of characters could be a softy every once in a while.
@Inuyashagirl234 Well he is voiced by a woman so that makes sense. If you can get over the fact that he doesnt sound like a mentally retarded hulk hogan then youll see that whoever she is, that woman blows the english VA out of the water in every way.
@Nonsensei436 Actually the english VA fits Kenshin better imo. The dub voice is a perfect balance of Kenshin's goofiness, his wisdom, his former self, etc... The japanese VA doesnt have much range; not that im able to judge too much in depth since I dont understand Japanese. In any case, just like the majority of anime fans, you are just giving the japanese the benefit of the doubt and acting like they can do no wrong.
@SecretAgent194 Since when do you need to understand a language to get a feel of a character's voice ? Subtitles = understanding if they were properly translated. I rather view something in it's original language to preserve authenticity. I saw all of it in Japanese and I need subtitles for it too, but the things you say never crossed my mind. I guess the time you spend not reading subtitles give you a better viewing of the series in your own way.
@Byakkotai A feel of the voice? Sure. But you can't really critique in depth unless you understand it. You watch things subbed to preserve authenticity? That's fine. I watch anime the best way to enjoy the story and characters. And if (and only if) the dub voices are good fits, and good performances, then viewer's native language is always best. Thats how I see it.
@Nonsensei436 i think the english producers were going more for his goofy personality rather hes serious side when they were casting rather than getting a VA that would've had a more balence sound to kenshin like the original voice of kenshin
Well this is a goofy scene so of course he will sound goofy. Go watch the Kenshin vs. Saito fight or any serious moment of this anime dubbed and I'm sure you'll change your mind.
@SecretAgent194 ya i alrdy kno that ive watched the whole series before i was just saying since kenshin is more kind hearted than badass killer the english producers probably wanted a voice leaning towards that
no its not. the dub voice is terrible. the original is SO much better. The original kenshin voice adds a lot more depth to his character. This one sounds like he's going through puberty and on drugs
I was like 8~10 when I first watched Rurouni Kenshin for the first time. My reaction to this scene was laughing like mad while shouting "NOOOO!!", with tears running down my face from laughing so hard, and thinking that I was the one who was supposed to be his wife.
