I know this is like my third comment, but I know everyone thinks Negi-bozu sounds dumb in English, I have to disagree. I think it's kind of adorable in English and Japanese.
Meh, I actually don't like the anime, Negi actually gets pretty dark and stuff, and it's hard to imagine him with the English voice. Japanese maybe, but not English...
Never seen the show, but... You still gotta love Greg Ayres :D I heard that doing the Negi voice is actually really hard for him to do O.o I guess playing a British ten year old kid can take a lot on your voice.
wow...greg sounded a little too raspy for negi but... he is INFINITELY better than the seiyuu. not only does he have that awesome echo when he's doing spells AND the british accent, but he ACTUALLY sounds like a 10 year old BOY, not a 5 year old GIRL.
.....I really think negi's voice in the english ruins how awsome the manga makes him look, I personally think the jap voice is so much better he dosent sound like hes a 5 year old girl. The english voice actor ruined all the coolness the manga brought him.
Anya: Japanese (English sounds too old) Accent is good though Nekane: English Eiko: English Chigusa: Tied (both were ok) Tukuyomi: (shudders, Creepy bitch) English Fate: Japanese ( English was good though) Negi blooper: LOL Shizuna: ....sorry I wasn't paying attention, I was distracted....Japanese Takamichi: English Eishun: English Konoemon: Japanese (English was good) Chamo: English! No questions asked Nagi: English (the accent man!) Negi: Greg Ayres was the prefect man for this Job!
Over these 7 video's I often thought; 'Hang on, this doesn't even come close to what the Japanese were saying..'
Now at the last of these 7 video's I suddenly realized that the Japanese clips don't even have subtitles yet I was complaining about the English missing the context of that particular scene. O.o
In regard to the question in the description, Japanese VA all the way. Though I suppose I like the fact they at least picked a VA with a British accent. Which goes the same with Aya and Nekane.
I generally hate the male mascot VA's as they always sound like they could scare off mobsters with their voice alone, sadly, this is no exception.
Nagi's English VA is close, but it doesn't sound like the person they portray the Thousand Master to be.
anya-close nekane-close eiko-kinda chigusa-kinda tsukuyomi-sorta fate-sorta shizuna-kinda takamichi-pretty close eishun-sorta dean konoe-kinda (so sad, he was in love with sayo) chamo-no nagi-not really negi-not even close omg almost forgot to say this, you added some of the original bloopers XD NNNIIICCCEEE!!!
I love negi's english voice, too many people hate his english voice in my opinion. Greg Ayres' voice captures his accent, personality and cuteness really well. Most english voice actors sound too deep and mature for young boys' voices, but Ayres does a comparatively splendid job.
Greg Aryes also voices Yohei Sunohara in the english dub of Clannad... on difference between Sunohara's and Negi's voices are (that i can tell) that Greg drops the English accent
Anya' Tie Nekane- tie Eiko- tie Chigusa- tie Tsuyokomi- tie(may I say that her english voice sounds EXACTLY like Rebecca Forstatd) Fate- Tie Shizuna- tie Takahata- tie Eishun- Tie The dean- tie Chamo- english BY FAR! Nagi- tie Negi- English
Hmm, I never liked Negi's english one, I mean Greg's normal voice is ridiculously deep, it must have killed him to put on the voice of a 10 yr old English boy (NB, negi is from wales, whats up with his londoner voice, i spose a welsh accent would've been taking the piss) But fair dos, Greg's Latin chants are epic
Anya: English one is slightly better. Nekane: English one is slightly better. Eiko: Japanese by far. Chigusa: English by far. Tsukoiyumi: Both suck. :P Fate: Japanese (English is lacking his monotone- mentioned in the manga. Not diabolic, monotone.) Shizuna: English. Takamichi: Both are bad. :P Eishun: English. Dean: English. Albert: I prefer the english one... Nagi: English by far. Negi: English one by FAR. I looked at the bloopers and thought he was lame, but he's only bad there.
Anya: Both Nekane: Japanese Eiko: Japanese Chigusa: English Tsukoiyumi: Both Fate: Japanese (English is missing the creepy factor) Shizuna: Both Takamichi: Both Eishun: English Dean: Both Albert: JAPANESE!!! Nagi: Both sound cool Negi: Sadly... Japanese. The English one is too graspy
Anya: English Nekane: English Eiko: Japanese Chigusa: English Tsukoiyumi: Both Fate: Both ( I perfer the english one better!) Shizuna: Japanese Takamichi: Both Eishun: JAPANESE! Dean: Both Albert: Japanese Nagi: English Negi: ENGLISH!!! hands down!
Negima is the story of a boy whose parents were killed by an almighty wizard. Strangely after he kills negis parents he gives him a weird scar in his head.
and he gets sent to a magical wizard school where he starts his adventure to find out about that "almighty wizard" who killed his parents...
I've never said you were a Japanese cartoon. And I know there's nothing wrong preffering subs over dubs. But do you even know the Japanese language to actually call the Japanese Dub better than the English or how it works to say it sucks? : O;
I wasn't saying that, I was saying most dub haters always go around saying: "ooooo, english dub sucks no matter what, and japanese always wins," e__e; I thought you were one of those people and I misjudged. .__.;....Those are the type of people I can't stand. The ones that bash the dubb constantly.
Anya: Both Nekane: Both Eiko: Both Chigusa: English Tsukoiyumi: Both Fate: Both Shizuna: Japanese Takamichi: Both Eishun: English Dean: Both Albert: Japanese Nagi: English (But Japanese sounds good too) Negi: English (He sounds a little too girlish in the Japanese Version 0_0)
Anya: Both. Nekane: Both. Eiko: Japanese. Chigusa: Not sure. Tsukoiyumi: Ew, Japanese. Fate: I love both, but personally Japanese is much better. Shizuna: Japanese. Takamichi: Japanese. Eishun: Both. Dean: Japanese. Albert: Japanese. Nagi: English. Japanese is good, too. Negi: Japanese.
It's by an American company, and is intended to be sold in America. You can probably count the number of American anime VAs who even know the difference between an English and Welsh accent on one hand, let alone those capable of replicating the latter. As for why Negi and Nagi's accents are different...well, they sound exactly the same to my (uncultured American) ears, so there's your answer right there: nobody Stateside can tell the difference.
Lol that's true.. but since it's targeted to american people i don't really mind. At least they bothered to give the characters english accents at all, most dubs dont bother.
Anya: English Nekane: English Eiko: Japanese Chigusa: Japanese Tsukuyomi: English Fate: Japanese Shizuna: Japanese Takamichi: English Eishun: English Dean: English Albert: Japanese Nagi: English Negi: English is so cute!
Anya: Both Nekane: Both Eiko: Both Chigusa: Both Tsukuyomi: Japanese Fate: Both Shizuna: Both Takamichi: Both Eishun: Both Dean: Japanese Albert: Both Nagi: Both Negi: Both =P
When I read the manga, I pictured chamo's voice exactly as it is in english, raspy and deep like a smoker that he is. But negima, I think it gets away with it in jap, cus I'm not jap and I don't have that background, but his voice in english is not what I was expecting, but I admit it was a tough one to match or imagine.
I also dislike alot of dialogue in the Eng version. Things like: "I'll cruuuush your baaaaaaaaaaalls!!!!" are just wow. The casting could also be more critical, because some VA's are really good however their voices do not suite their character. Sometimes a VA will sound more suited for another character besides their own. So, it's not always really the VA's fault. Finally, Dub Vs Sub is just too subjective and waring over comparisons between two different launguages is disgusting.
Negi- Honestly gonna have to go with the Eng VA. It's just a more interesting twist than the generic girly voice he has in JP. His voice stands out so much more in the Eng VA . Furthermore, the way he cast his spells is much more powerful in English version.
Final Thoughts: The dub has some hits and misses. However, when it hits it hits hard and when it misses it makes your ears bleed. JP version is more consistent, but it never really goes beyond mediocore
Final rating, great vid: Anya-Eng VA Nekane- JP VA Eiko-Eng VA, Sub is not really good. Chigusa-Eng VA is much much better, the JP VA is really bad in comparison. Tsukuyomi- Could go either way Fate-JP VA is substantially better Shizuna-Eng VA ftw Takamichi- Hmm, He sounds more laid back in JP and more mature in Eng. So, once again it would depend on what type of character he is overall. Undecided Eishun-Eng VA The Dean-JP VA Albert-Eng VA has more attitude
I've seen every one of these... maybe this will allay some of the dub/sub purists out there...
...but with the second season (complete with new characters and some changes in the English cast) spinning in many a DVD player as I type, your voice comparing days may not be over just yet! Of course, it if you can't do it, someone else might....
English negi is much better, he sounds like a squeaky 10 yr old boy which is how he SHOULD sound, not like a generic japanese GIRL!! I like Chamo and Minamoto in english too.
I'd also like to say Rina Satou beats Greg by over ninethousand kilometers. I can't imagine Negi without his japanese voice. And (No Offense) Greg sounds... a bit too... uhh... constipated...
No offense... BUT WHEN THE AMERICAN(ENGLISH) DUBS READ A DAMN SPELL... It sounds like they are randomly saying words... unlike the japanese voices, who understand what they are actually saying... Like, listen to the English Dub(HORRIBLE) Negi. "Ontugeese Spira Tuuse Lukese Koyo Seet Tagikiss Meeku Sagita Serius Lukeese!" Hahaha...
You retard they are speaking latin which you wouldn't understand unless you KNOW latin. And anyway, it sounds much clearer in the dub, and the echo sounds awesome.
oddly enough I prefer English Negi , mostly cause it sounds like a little boy and usually I prefer Japanese voices. Its just the Japanese is wayy to girly for my liking.
the dub is a little meh for me if that makes any sense, but there's alot of british accents in the dubbed. What is it with the british and magic crap. well whatever. doesn't really matter.
This is what I've gathered about the Dean: The first anime series suggests that he may have known Sayo when she was still alive and that he loved her.
Save for Anya, Tsukuyomi and Albert, I thought the English dub really outdid themselves in this series! :) Especially with Nagi and Fate, their English voices had me bouncing in my seat. ^^ Thanks for taking the time and effort to make such entertaining and informative series of videos! :)
Anya:Japanese. English is to deep for a girl like her Nekane: both are really good! Eiko:English. Chiguse:JAPANESE Tsukimoyo:English. Even Tho Japanese is cute. Fate:Both. Chris Paton did it? Thats Souskes Voice! HE ROCKS! Shizune:Japanese dude.. Takahata:English Eushin:english Dean:Engglissshh O__O Chamo:English is funny, But japanese suits him so i dun no Nagi:Englissh. BRITISH :D Negi:English even tho Jap is kinda good
i think Negis voice is very good its clever considering hes from Wales England it wouldent make sence if he had an american accent. atleast thats what i think and i also thought that all the ather acters did good except a few iv only watch one episode so far and i only watch dubs so i look forward to watching more negima bye
You said it... but I can't say it very good. actually it's horrible. He sounds like he got a sore throut. I do like some dubbed anime. Just not this one.
....r u serious?..don't change the tone..of course they do, jsut i think some characters from this anime are suppose to sound cold and cool..but other wise, their voices are definitely filled with the appropriate feelings
GREG AYERS!!!!!!!

English negi is much better, he sounds like a squeaky 10 yr old boy which is how he SHOULD sound, not like a generic japanese GIRL!! I like Chamo and Minamoto in english too.

I'd also like to say Rina Satou beats Greg by over ninethousand kilometers. I can't imagine Negi without his japanese voice. And (No Offense) Greg sounds... a bit too... uhh... constipated...

No offense... BUT WHEN THE AMERICAN(ENGLISH) DUBS READ A DAMN SPELL... It sounds like they are randomly saying words... unlike the japanese voices, who understand what they are actually saying... Like, listen to the English Dub(HORRIBLE) Negi. "Ontugeese Spira Tuuse Lukese Koyo Seet Tagikiss Meeku Sagita Serius Lukeese!" Hahaha...

You retard they are speaking latin which you wouldn't understand unless you KNOW latin. And anyway, it sounds much clearer in the dub, and the echo sounds awesome.

@SonicTheSilverShadow blame the script. the writers decided to make UNNECESSARY changes to the dialogue.

oddly enough I prefer English Negi , mostly cause it sounds like a little boy and usually I prefer Japanese voices. Its just the Japanese is wayy to girly for my liking.

yknow compared to the anime and manga
nagi(thousand master) is more mature than the manga in manga his 100% naruto =_=

Nagi in english dub sounds like a retard no offence. Troy's partially just reading the script instead of acting.

I love Nagi's english voice!!!! That accent is so beautiful!!! Overall, the video is so good I gotta give it a 5/5!^^ Keep at it, its awesome!!!

the dub is a little meh for me if that makes any sense, but there's alot of british accents in the dubbed. What is it with the british and magic crap. well whatever. doesn't really matter.

This is what I've gathered about the Dean: The first anime series suggests that he may have known Sayo when she was still alive and that he loved her.

Save for Anya, Tsukuyomi and Albert, I thought the English dub really outdid themselves in this series! :) Especially with Nagi and Fate, their English voices had me bouncing in my seat. ^^ Thanks for taking the time and effort to make such entertaining and informative series of videos! :)

i think Negis voice is very good its clever considering hes from Wales England it wouldent make sence if he had an american accent. atleast thats what i think and i also thought that all the ather acters did good except a few iv only watch one episode so far and i only watch dubs so i look forward to watching more negima bye

You said it... but I can't say it very good. actually it's horrible. He sounds like he got a sore throut. I do like some dubbed anime. Just not this one.
filipinowhiteboy 3 years ago
Overall the enlgihs voices kinda suck in my opinion.
Fate and Takahata's are o.k,
of course its rather hard to get the right voice for a ten year old welsh kid who acts like a gentleman.
Not exactly the most common voice around...

....r u serious?..don't change the tone..of course they do, jsut i think some characters from this anime are suppose to sound cold and cool..but other wise, their voices are definitely filled with the appropriate feelings
