@Runie549 Ahaha, thank you! I appreciate it. I happen to have a lot of friends who are similarly talented. If you haven't heard many, please check out my Fan Roles playlist on my channel. There's more where this came from.
@Wolfnoko Thank you for the compliments. I've really come to deeply appreciate Koyomi. As long as there are fans supporting the anime industry, it's certainly in mine and Amanda's interest to move ahead as pros.
@Blacktwinswords Thank you for the very kind compliment! I'm fairly realistic when it comes to things like being a pro, however. Online fans are great, but that won't make us pros. Getting cast and paid in the anime industry is the best "exposure" she or I could ever receive.
@RamuneAmai From what I heard, Amanda has started to be in anime officially. I think she has a supporting in an anime called Squid Girl. However, after watching shadowlink4321's fandub of the world god only knows, She definitely going to reach high status if she plays her cards right.
@2KDragon Thanks! That was the most fun and most difficult line to deliver in terms of timing. You're quite the machinima dubber yourself, by the way.
It could be better if Amanda delivered with more of a deadpan - Senjougahara is far less expressive (and more bluntly sarcastic) than the average character. When she speaks, she should sound *scary* in that she's delivering romantic dialogue *with* such a deadpan.
Have very little complaints about your voice. You're substituting for Hiroshi Kamiya, it'll be unreasonable to ask you to replicate his divine voice.
@IohannaFiona In Amanda's defense, she really hadn't seen Bakemonogatari & wasn't all that familiar with Senjougahara. As an actress, she interpreted the role the best she could I'm sure.
As for me, it's true I sound nothing like Kamiya-sensei. That guy's character range seems almost unlimited because of the unique edge in his tone. I would hate to sound like him though, since I would prefer to be known for sounding like myself, without actually sounding like me depending on the role. Thanks!
Great job! I was confused by how good you guys were when I read "Fandub" (Fabdubs usually suck). I only have one critique. Senjougahara was saying "Aragi," but his name's Araragi. Other than that it was perfect :3 Keep it up!
Really great job dubbing the characters, Wen't in thinking "There's no way an English dub could do justice to this anime" But I think you guy's acted out the scene probably with the best possible quality
@RamuneAmai I know, i was just curious why you said it was unofficial as if it really meant something. either way, great work...and didn't you say you were thinking of doing one other scene on this series in the description?
@DeltaX02 I had uploaded another scene about a month ago, but I'm currently waiting for my counternotification to expire in the same way I got this video back after it was taken down. If all goes well, it should be back in a week and the link at the end of this video will work again.
@MrBlackhawking To dub even a single episode, let alone the whole series, takes a great deal of time, effort, commitment, and teamwork that is not possible without a very good reason & backing. No matter how many people love this dub, they would never donate money to assist the production and licensing procedures to make it "official" in some capacity.
@RamuneAmai is not that hard i can dub over one ep just get some of your buds get some ask ppl to help by asking to ask for help like voice recordings and send it to you
@MrBlackhawking I'm glad you have such enthusiasm, but it actually is very difficult and time-consuming process. Quality is what matters most to me as an actor and "producer." To be frank, I would rather be regarded as a paid pro, officially cast as Araragi, than to spend years unofficially dubbing Araragi with no respect from the industry. Pretty sure my "buds" share my stance.
Since it's not hard for you though, you are welcome to give it a try and show me your finished work. =]
@RamuneAmai i cant find my self being the voice for any one in the show am going to to my won dub over some animes i find awesome this is awesome and all its just this one is not my voice style btw do you have steam
well when you do a fandub saying the name of the character wrong is just wrong to be honest and the dub was not bad but your voices did not match the characters. Araragi's voice was way to normal. and Senjougahara should have more of a "i dont care about anything" voice. besides that it was ok
Very good, way better then most official dubs. Of course I like the original language more but if an anime should be dubs this is the way to do it. More emotion then all of the anime dubs I've heard combined.
@ItsOnlyRod To be honest, it would be a pleasure. Though I've always wondered how many people would talk with their wallets to allow such a thing to happen...
Oh I love your dubs! They're so amazing! I want to be a voice actress too someday,but I have no idea on where to start. Did you get discovered here on Youtube? Or did you go to a studio to try out? Do you need any acting experience? I know I'm asking a lot of questions,I was just really inspired to hear this db. And one more thing! Where do you get the clips that still have the music and sound audio,but not the voices? :O
Amanda Lee has a good articulate pronunciation which is good for the character, but every single line being "breathless" gets tiresome. Ramune just has the same 'ol cookie-cutter, saturday-morning-cartoon male voice which drove me to subs.
I was just watching this segment of anime in Japanese today and there are few things that I got to say to this fandub.
1. Senjougahara sounds kind of.......full of emotion for some reason. Senjougahara is not supposed to be like that, in Japanese version she talked using the formal speech which makes her dialogues sound emotionless, AND THAT IS CERTAINLY PART OF HER CHARACTER!
2. I really really like Koyomi's voice (I mean it is well done)
Gah, this is freaking terrible compared to the original japanese voices. Seriously, if you've only watched it like this, watch the original- you've no idea what you're missing.
@nelli1876 Thanks very much for the compliment and for subscribing! We're doing the best we can with our skills to entertain & keep faithful to the roles we play. =]
Before I get on to the compliments I'll give my one criticism; a syllable got dropped from Araragi's name. 'Course, seeing as it was internally consistent, it'd only really bug my brand of OCD.
As for the compliments: Every other damn thing was master-class. Keep it up, folks.
oh wow, my eyes glazed over when i saw "fan-dub" because they usually arent very good, but i decided to check it out cuz it was bakemonogatai. BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER. quite frankly, im amazed....
@hyakkiyagyou100 I'm grateful for your comment. It's a fact that most people who "fandub" aren't treating it as if they are going pro. Then there are people like myself & Amanda who do fan dubs like this one to prove we're ready to do this professionally.
Thanks again, and hope you'll share it with others. =]
@FreakyBow I'm still working on that, but Amanda can be heard as "Noh Mask Rider" in Episode 6 of the Official English dub of Squid Girl. It's pretty awesome!
Wow, i am impressed, and here i thought id never hear someone be a good match to Hitagi in and English dub, let alone a fan dub, wondeful job! if i was to choose the lead voice actors id be you and Johnny Yong Bosch!
this is amazing, i can't even sum up the words to describe how spot on hitagi's voice matches her personality. both the voices were great. it would be awesome to see this series dubbed completely and with you guys doing the voices... but a man can dream...
@IDETAKIMASU If we could make your dream a reality (and be compensated for our time), we would. Believe me. But thanks so much for the kind comment! There's a little rumor that I may be doing another scene...=]
The dubbing was fine and all but that's where it ends.
Hitagi has some sadist tendencies with her Tsundere (and some Yandere) nature when she flirts with Aragi the scene lost the we're going on a date you have no say tone between the two.
@kantoriX1 Thanks for your honest feedback. It's nice to still be receiving comments like this nearly 8 or so months later (the video was down for about 2 months b/c of YT).
There is a good deal about these characters that is very complex & up for interpretation. I'm glad you were honest about our performances, since we do give 100% regardless of only approaching a character for the first time.
@RamuneAmai Hitagi isn't so complex, simple observation from Hitagi & Araragi's interaction are easily seen throughout anime. Recall the scene when they were driving in Hitagi's father's car (she has a father complex as well) & how she was playing (being sadist) with Aragi making him sweat. Or the scene between the two in her home & she went to Yandere mode as Araragi wanted to know more about her friend Suruga. I don't mean anymore bad criticism as she & I are alike towards our men.
@kantoriX1 I appreciate you defending Hitagi (& don't take it personally), but when I say "complex" I'm referring to the acting & script read, not the character. I love this series very much & have great affection for Hitagi. Portraying these characters outside of the Japanese mold isn't easy. As our first time approaching them, we went into this respecting that & did what we could in our ability. I'm thankful so many have enjoyed our work, as there will always be people who don't.
@bessmah You mean you didn't know it wasn't an official dub until you read the title? The girl, Hitagi, has a lot "wrong" with her, but it's best to get your hands on the series to see for yourself.
No problems with the acting (which was great, good job!), but the translation was a bit off. She's supposed to end with an imperative form, not a request. "Go on a date with me." He gets no choice in the matter. It kind of changes her personality to translate it differently.
@Clarste That's a pretty good point. With respect to Amanda's scripting & your point, I kind of like that she went with a polite demand. The line was read in an imperative tone, still giving him no choice, but maintaining that politeness that comes with the hierarchy in Japanese language. It's quirky in a way, which, to me, fits Senjougahara's playful manner.
Thank you, as well, for commenting & glad you enjoyed our acting for these great characters! =]
Also noticed you replaced the music. 1) Any reason why? 2) Where's the track originally from? Don't remember hearing it in the series, though it sounds like it could be from it.
@DaemonCorps Glad you found our performances well-suited. It's been said before, but the missing "ra" was a misstep on my fellow actress's part, but could also be seen as a parody on how Koyomi's last name gets teased throughout.
Music was changed b/c I wasn't aware that the OST was available. The track is "a sunny place 3" from the enjoyable slice-of-life anime Hidamari Sketch. When I don't have the original track, I try to find something that reflects its sound/feel to maintain atmosphere.
As of late, I feel like "official" dubs of anime out there have been trying too hard to get English voices that match their Japanese counterparts rather than finding a good English voice equivalent that captures the essence of the character and everything that character stands for. As a fan of the show, I really enjoyed the voices you gave the characters... though I just gotta say that it's "Araragi" (couldn't quite hear the extra "ra" in the video).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol this fandub sucks! it ruins the tsundere cute voice. i means senjougahara the ultimate tsundere voice. this dub seem like she got choke on her neck.
Ahhhhh Bakemono, truly a gem in the anime world, and you picked a nice pleasant scene to choose from, now then. Shall we begin?
LeeandLie, honestly, the performance was nice, but something didn't seem right, it didn't feel it captured the unique vibe Hitagi has, she made her sound pretty average, so I just wasn't feeling it.
Ramune, pretty good performance wise, it was a fresh yet fitting take on Araragi, so I can't really pick at it much, i personally liked the "HELL YEAH!"
@ShiningStarProVAA I can speak for Amanda when I say that though you didn't feel it, it was likely her vocal flair that didn't jive with you which made a contrast to the original. I'm happy that her acting shined despite that.
Having thoroughly enjoyed this series, Araragi was challenging knowing him so well. So given that I sound nothing like his seiyuu, I'm thankful that I could mesh enough & execute accurate delivery.
Thanks for dropping by, Seymour and letting us know what you thought! =]
Haha Bakemono, I've always loved this series! Great, no, spectacular job on fandub! Amanda really catches the essence of Senjougahara, and you were able to also catch the essense of Araragi well!
@Kuraiinu Never too late to reply to a comment! XD
Thank you for the compliments on our performance, as well as subscribing to me. Amanda & I definitely do have high expectations for ourselves that we do try to meet in our own ways. Glad we were successful~ =]
@animAevids Thank you very much~ I don't know if we'll do more of this series, but we very well may work together again. We had a good time making this one work that it only seems natural. =]
@starsdestiny Amanda definitely captured the charm and sound of Hitagi as I predicted she would. There are cute moments like these in the series, but you really should watch it fully if you really want to grasp why my character is so apprehensive. =]
@MinM66 Believe it or not, there are people who don't know what that means. And I love this series so I encourage people to watch it. Sorry to not disappoint you~ =]
@MinM66 Believe it or not, there are people who don't know what that means. And I love this series so I encourage people to watch it. Sorry to not disappoint you~ =]
@RamuneAmai yeah i encourage people to watch it too however my friend refuses to watch this because its by same director as sayonara sensei and he hated that anime though i think ill convince him eventually nice job as araragi you really captured him
I haven't seen this series yet, but I think both of your voices really work well with your characters and their actions. This makes makes me curious to watch the series now.
@Nightangel421 It's always great to hear positives regarding my choice in casting and characters. It's a short series, so check it out if you can. It won't be what you expect.
@dancergirl Awww thanks~ I'm glad that our acting and voices meshed well in this scene in your opinion, especially since they're in a relationship. An awkward one, but a relationship nonetheless. XD It's a stellar series that hasn't been licensed. Check it out if you can. =]
@timmy1192 Thanks a lot Dan~ "Amazing" might be pushing it, but I'm glad it made a strong impression on you. In regards to my chan, yes - it's the kind of start I hope to maintain. The best with your channel as well =]
BAKEMONOGATARI! *O* I love the series, and this scene scene, and you two did very well on it. Though for being picky on a series I like, I can imagine pronouncing "Araragi" is pretty tricky. 'Cause I did hear Amanda say "Aragi" in her lines. And perhaps a bit more energy in the "Hell yeah!" from you would be good. =P
@AegisHikaru Haha you were the only one to point out the pronunciation error! I heard it too, but eh, she played the role hardcore and I wasn't going to let that stop me, as they even joke about it in the series XD I'll take your word on my "hell yeah" also. ^^;
Happy you're a fan of the series like I am, and liked our performance. I believe more will come eventually. =]
Awesome fandub! I'm so happy you two did this together! I love both Amanda's and your work and I'm glad that even though you both got your previous accounts killed by crazy YT staff you did a new fandub to kick off the year.
AND IT ROCKED!! Haha, oh Bakemonogatari. I need to finish you and this has given me motivation to do so XD
@GuillyGuiledDragon I'm glad you were encouraged by our performance to watch this series. It's really not what you would expect after seeing this scene. And yes, Amanda & I are set to make our channels better than ever~
Ok now... granted I haven't heard very many fandubs, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
That said, holy CRAP. This is by far the best one I've ever heard, and I'd put it over several official anime dubs I've heard.

@FreakyBow I'm still working on that, but Amanda can be heard as "Noh Mask Rider" in Episode 6 of the Official English dub of Squid Girl. It's pretty awesome!

Wow, i am impressed, and here i thought id never hear someone be a good match to Hitagi in and English dub, let alone a fan dub, wondeful job! if i was to choose the lead voice actors id be you and Johnny Yong Bosch!

this is amazing, i can't even sum up the words to describe how spot on hitagi's voice matches her personality. both the voices were great. it would be awesome to see this series dubbed completely and with you guys doing the voices... but a man can dream...

Everything about it was good. My only complaint is that his name is Araragi and not aragi. Other then that, good job!

The dubbing was fine and all but that's where it ends.
Hitagi has some sadist tendencies with her Tsundere (and some Yandere) nature when she flirts with Aragi the scene lost the we're going on a date you have no say tone between the two.

@kantoriX1 Thanks for your honest feedback. It's nice to still be receiving comments like this nearly 8 or so months later (the video was down for about 2 months b/c of YT).
There is a good deal about these characters that is very complex & up for interpretation. I'm glad you were honest about our performances, since we do give 100% regardless of only approaching a character for the first time.
RamuneAmai 5 months ago
@RamuneAmai Hitagi isn't so complex, simple observation from Hitagi & Araragi's interaction are easily seen throughout anime. Recall the scene when they were driving in Hitagi's father's car (she has a father complex as well) & how she was playing (being sadist) with Aragi making him sweat. Or the scene between the two in her home & she went to Yandere mode as Araragi wanted to know more about her friend Suruga. I don't mean anymore bad criticism as she & I are alike towards our men.
kantoriX1 5 months ago
@kantoriX1 I appreciate you defending Hitagi (& don't take it personally), but when I say "complex" I'm referring to the acting & script read, not the character. I love this series very much & have great affection for Hitagi. Portraying these characters outside of the Japanese mold isn't easy. As our first time approaching them, we went into this respecting that & did what we could in our ability. I'm thankful so many have enjoyed our work, as there will always be people who don't.

@bessmah You mean you didn't know it wasn't an official dub until you read the title? The girl, Hitagi, has a lot "wrong" with her, but it's best to get your hands on the series to see for yourself.

No problems with the acting (which was great, good job!), but the translation was a bit off. She's supposed to end with an imperative form, not a request. "Go on a date with me." He gets no choice in the matter. It kind of changes her personality to translate it differently.
Clarste 5 months ago
@Clarste That's a pretty good point. With respect to Amanda's scripting & your point, I kind of like that she went with a polite demand. The line was read in an imperative tone, still giving him no choice, but maintaining that politeness that comes with the hierarchy in Japanese language. It's quirky in a way, which, to me, fits Senjougahara's playful manner.
Thank you, as well, for commenting & glad you enjoyed our acting for these great characters! =]

Also noticed you replaced the music. 1) Any reason why? 2) Where's the track originally from? Don't remember hearing it in the series, though it sounds like it could be from it.
DaemonCorps 9 months ago
@DaemonCorps Glad you found our performances well-suited. It's been said before, but the missing "ra" was a misstep on my fellow actress's part, but could also be seen as a parody on how Koyomi's last name gets teased throughout.
Music was changed b/c I wasn't aware that the OST was available. The track is "a sunny place 3" from the enjoyable slice-of-life anime Hidamari Sketch. When I don't have the original track, I try to find something that reflects its sound/feel to maintain atmosphere.
RamuneAmai 9 months ago
As of late, I feel like "official" dubs of anime out there have been trying too hard to get English voices that match their Japanese counterparts rather than finding a good English voice equivalent that captures the essence of the character and everything that character stands for. As a fan of the show, I really enjoyed the voices you gave the characters... though I just gotta say that it's "Araragi" (couldn't quite hear the extra "ra" in the video).

Ahhhhh Bakemono, truly a gem in the anime world, and you picked a nice pleasant scene to choose from, now then. Shall we begin?
LeeandLie, honestly, the performance was nice, but something didn't seem right, it didn't feel it captured the unique vibe Hitagi has, she made her sound pretty average, so I just wasn't feeling it.
Ramune, pretty good performance wise, it was a fresh yet fitting take on Araragi, so I can't really pick at it much, i personally liked the "HELL YEAH!"
Not bad, not bad.
ShiningStarProVAA 1 year ago
@ShiningStarProVAA I can speak for Amanda when I say that though you didn't feel it, it was likely her vocal flair that didn't jive with you which made a contrast to the original. I'm happy that her acting shined despite that.
Having thoroughly enjoyed this series, Araragi was challenging knowing him so well. So given that I sound nothing like his seiyuu, I'm thankful that I could mesh enough & execute accurate delivery.
Thanks for dropping by, Seymour and letting us know what you thought! =]
RamuneAmai 1 year ago
Haha Bakemono, I've always loved this series! Great, no, spectacular job on fandub! Amanda really catches the essence of Senjougahara, and you were able to also catch the essense of Araragi well!
Keep up the good work!

BAKEMONOGATARI! *O* I love the series, and this scene scene, and you two did very well on it. Though for being picky on a series I like, I can imagine pronouncing "Araragi" is pretty tricky.

I look forward to more stuff from you. =]
