Batman TAS in Japanese

[1337sir]

I really hate these voices...

[KongPow1]

the guy who voiced Batman in Japanese here voiced Batman in EVERYTHING, including the ones that were not voiced by Kevin Conroy. so does this mean that he's played Batman the longest? even longer than Kevin Conroy?

[julianchelo]

this isnt half bad, I mean i'll always choose hamill, but this is a pretty creepy joker too.

[AshED65]

Amercan Cartoons will always sound the best in english

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

The Japanese Dialogue does not go with the English Subtitles and I'm not even Japanese or don't even know 100% of it.

[ImNedBigby]

wonder what would happen if you add a japanese anime opening and ending to this. like from Death Note, Bleach, Naruto, or Full Metal Alchemist. :D or maybe Redemption by Gackt ^^ wonder if it would go out so well.

[LemmePost]

this dude did not get joker's laugh right

[criceto]

does not sound like the joker

[adrius]

Makes me wonder how well this went over.

[dylstew]

Japan,you should sub american stuff.

America,you should sub japanese stuff.

Holland(my country) You stop dubbing children shows... they used to be subbed and learning kids english... now they don't..

[chuefeng]

batomon =D

[marplatense2]

this voices were... actually kinda good in my opinion! I think it fit the characters! but I do prefer the english voices.

[KanameTousen]

It's solid FUCKING SNAKE!

[teh1archon]

Jap Joker isn't half bad. But hebrew dub and of course Mark Hemil's are vastly superior.

[FabulousZero]

@teh1archon hebrew dub lol, who are you fucking kidding

[teh1archon]

@FabulousZero Clearly you haven't heard it. Too bad the only hebrew batman on youtube is brave and the bald, which is not as good.

[RyleyMusicMan]

Man I wish I could get these episodes. I would love to watch full Batman episodes in Japanese.

[archhead9]

but kevin conroy does the best batman in cartoons ever.nothing personal to those who like this one.no offvensive

[archhead9]

TESSHO GENDA is the one who dis batman's voice who also did the NINE TAILED FOX in NARUTO and TAKEDA SHINGEN in SENGOKU BASARA (DEVIL KINGS)

.

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

i was wating for batman to fire off a chi blast

[smzig]

I wonder how exactly how well received the series was in Japan. Anime is real popular in America and Batman TaS is one of the few American shows I rank up there with the top anime. So I wonder how one of America's top animation fared in Japan?

[doctorman1000]

I think its a good dub buy in my opinion it hards to compete with a original performance in any original dub of any animation no matter how good a dub is. Although there are exceptions. For example, I heard even the original directors of el hazard considered the english dub to be superior.

[JakT714]

Takeshi Aono did the Joker as well as Kami, King Piccolo, Basil of Baker Street and Jinpachi from Tekken 5 in demon form

[TrueBackLash]

Joker sounds like Bon Clay

[NinjaNaruto81]

LOL.Joker's voice is funny xD

[deathcatg]

I always thought Ryūsei Nakao, the voice for Frieza from Dragon Ball, would have played a really good Japanese Joker.

[MDthornton83]

Awesome! I always wanted to hear the Joker's Japanese voice!

[CatherineGral]

I wonder who voices Batman. That voice sounds familiar somehow.

I'd love to hear Harley Quinn in Japanese!! ^^

[MDthornton83]

I think Batman's Japanese voice is Tessho Genda.

[shingouki52]

okay why... would you want to listen to it in Japanese with the English subtitles when... oh wait right I'm on youtube... forgot for a second

[katobrucelee08]

@shingouki52 cause it's interesting to hear the different voices lol It's the same reason why anyone would listen to anything in another language that has been dubbed/acted in their own language.

[mdo7]

@shingouki52: same reason why people watch anime in English dub, duh.

[mrmonkey1980]

@shingouki52 because I teach English in japan and this is a good way to teach about western cartoons :)

[katobrucelee08]

@FabulousZero lol..I prefer the english dub myself by far. These voices are too typical I think

[BillyCauseyjr]

@FabulousZero no one beats Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as Joker, but it's interesting to see how different languages interperate characters. (the German dub is fucking hillarious)

[Razakage]

@FabulousZero Idiot of couse the english version is better then the japanese, it's from US, not Japan.. It's the same reason why people thinks the japanese dub sound better in japanese then in english. you don't have to be a weaboo to know that.

[FabulousZero]

@Razakage shut the fuck up weaboo

[mdo7]

@Razakage: uh, did you forget there are anime that don't have any Japanese voice at all like Afro Samurai?

[tubeviewerX20]

@FabulousZero What the hell are you talking about? The English version of Batman TAS has some of the best character voices of all time.

[smzig]

@FabulousZero Sigh, so just because someone posts up an american show in Japanese you assume he's a die hard weaboo. If anything, the fact that the Japanese dub sucks just cements the fact that the original language is always the best. That goes for anime and American animation alike.

[FlameG102]

of course. Because when someone uploads the video of a show in another language, it automatically makes them a weaboo, rather than someone who uploaded it just for the novelty of hearing a beloved cartoon in another language

[marplatense2]

@FabulousZero, nobody said that the english version sucks.

[DoubleX31]

@FabulousZero Uh the English voices are the original voices of a American animated series. How does this apply to English dubbing of Japanese anime? Do you even know what a weaboo is?

[AidanMclaren]

@FabulousZero

You're an idiot...

[FabulousZero]

@AidanMclaren and you're a pussy...

[AidanMclaren]

@FabulousZero

Genius combeack, inbred.

[FabulousZero]

@AidanMclaren whatever, jackass

[dariendude17]

Batman can punch you through a fucking periscope. That's how completely badass he is.

[HanakoFairhall]

Wow, that was awesome ^^

Somehow I don't think Batman said "so you want to play dirty, Joker?" in that last line, though my Japanese is quite rusty, so I won't try to figure out what he did say ^^;

I did think I heard the word "Bastard" in there though ^^;

[chenalos]

I want to hear Harley in Japanese. She's voiced by one of my fave Seiyuu's Miki Itou. If anybody has links, PM me.

[mdo7]

@chenalos: wait Miki Itou voiced Harley Quinn. I look her up on Wiki, she did voice Harley Quinn. There's another person who voiced Harley Quinn, Kotono Mitsuishi famous for voicing Sailor Moon and Misato from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I don't know who voiced her first. It does show both of them voicing Harley Quinn.

[CatherineGral]

@chenalos The same here. I'd love to hear Harley in Japanese ;)

[chenalos]

@CatherineGral

watch?v=y7JoU3Ef3SY

[Takeshi357]

is that Takeshi Aono voicing Joker?

[Filby]

I love Joker's Japanese VA. Not as much as Mark Hamill, but he's still fun to listen to.

[NintendoNate25]

It sounds pretty cool in Japanese. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are still the best though.

[theseedy7eleven]

whoa, japanese joker is lame(sounds lik an old man) & batman sounds lik some dramatic japanese stage actor.

[Radculas]

mmm, I'm a japanese speaker and I liked Mark Hamil's Joker with all that ellegant accent, but the voice actor in this one didn't seem to care about the accent...he actually uses feminine words...makes him sound like a woman....which gives me the creeps...but i like his rusty voice...ha, evil

[dregbajz]

pretty cool but ark and Kevin arethe best joker and batman .

[hassmann2000]

No way. aint got shit on the original man. Mark hamil and kevin conroy are awesome sauce.

[xviolentphilx]

japanese voice actors breathe differently than american voice actors. lol.

[GadGades]

Joker sounds hella good to me

[firikusu]

nice dude, it doesnt even seem that bad in japanese

[Jago666]

Takeshi Aono is the Joker, better known to peeps as King Piccolo from Dragonball or Deszaras from Transformers: Victory

[Skinnyguyman123]

Nice But Tessho Genda Who voice batman voices Optimus Prime in the G1 cartton and the live action movies and Cable in X men

[Jago666]

i figured as much

[mdo7]

Not only I believed he voice Kratos in The Japanese version of God of War, he the Japanese voice of Sam Fisher for Splinter Cell (I wonder what happen if Sam Fisher was voiced in Japanese by Akio Ōtsuka who voiced Sold Snake in MGS?).

[Skinnyguyman123]

he does

[mdo7]

Yeah Genda does a lot of dub not only anime and Japanese game. He does a lot, this guy is a great seriyu.

[Skinnyguyman123]

dont you mean Seyiu?

[mdo7]

correction: Seriyu

[SilentStalkerX]

@Jago666

That explains why he sounded somewhat familiar.

[katten838]

I recognise the voices.

[Razorsinmysalad]

YUU KIRRUE KAPPITAN KROWN!

[WearingAWiiBeanie]

It sounds.. a bit weird.. But it's still good.

[mamaunkomoreru6666]

ジョーカーの声優って言ったらこの人しか浮かばないわ。

確かもっとすげぇジョーク飛ばしてる回あったよな。

「このヤロォなめやがって首をもぎとってボーリングの玉にしてゴ­ロンゴロン転がしたろか？」

[SpadeHand]

He's SUPPOSED to.

[SpadeHand]

Sounds like Eggman on helium.

[ShadowtailsST]

The Joker needs a voice with a bit more of a high pitch, he sounds... not right, especially the laugh D8 But the Batman sounds fine.

[stealthunter14]

nice

[LikaLaruku]

No no, they should have given the Joker a more androgynous voice. He sounds like he's pushing 70!

[xtremevillain]

Where did you find this?

[katobrucelee08]

I have the DVD's

[DriftinShadow]

Where'd you find the DVD's?

[haha9323]

OH. MY. GOD.

they sound sooo much hotter in Japanese.

Then again, who doesn't?

Amazing. <3333

[RoyalKnightVI]

I have to disagree kind sir/madame. The original actors for this series will always be the best, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill will always be Batman and Joker respectively.

Still a good dub, the Joker sounds a bit off

[haha9323]

lolz, well, to each his own. ^.^

[Sprocketman]

Well, it's pretty hard to change a fangirl's mind, so what can you do.

You'll have a hell of a time convincing me that Beast Wars, or the Simpsons got better treatment in Japanese, though. Tooru Ohira can't even say 'Doh'! It always sounds like 'Uuah'!

[blatantlyable]

@RoyalKnightVI it really is a good dub i especially love that they didnt do a thing to the original soundtrack
