@TheYosh96 I fail to see the logic in what you're saying. Just because you personally don't like the dub doesn't mean there aren't people who do, or it shouldn't be done. Plus, the DVDs/Blu-rays come with both audio tracks. You could simply choose to listen to the Japanese track. Nobody is forcing you to listen to the dub.
@fiercecandy Juvia and Gray and Happy are just...no. They don't fit the characters. Gray is still young and shouldn't sound so old and cool, and Happy sounds too *face palm*, and Juvia is supposed to be doubtful and filled with a meek little feeling even though she could skin people easily.
@ThGirlNextDoor98 Okay, first of all, just because Gray's voice is deep, that doesn't make him sound old. He sounds like he's pushing 20, just like his character. And you can't tell from the shaky, doubtful, meek voice Juvia has in this scene that she is acting shaky, doubtful, and meek? The voice has nothing to do with the acting. That's why they're called voice actors.
And there's also a reason why derogatory labels like "weaboo" and "dub hater" surfaced...
If you spend all your time comparing and noting every difference between the original and the dub without taking differences in language/culture into consideration, then you're never going to enjoy a dub or see it for what it really is. I think a lot of hate stems from that.
There's a reason why alot of people don't like dubs. Number 1 reason is, THE SILLY VOICES THEY USE ON SOME OF THE CHARACTERS. Don't get me wrong not all dubs are terrible, take Trigun for example very GOOD dubbed anime. Why? BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER DIDN'T USE A SILLY VOICE! Some of the voice actors are trying too hard, it sounds more like their reading a script and you feel NO EMOTION FROM IT. They can't improve if they don't hear the truth. Truth is never nice.
@ReignlawXV I'm assuming that you're upset with Fairy Tail's dub for that very reason. Let me counter you.
Natsu is supposed to be free-spirited. A child version of Goku. Todd Haberkorn has proven that he can pull off the comedic light-hearted moments and the epic, serious ones quite well. Need some proof? Go watch Ling from FMA or Death the Kid from Soul Eater.
@Phenomiracle Both pointless examples. Voice actor for Natsu isn't that bad but when you mix it in with the rest it becomes bad. It feels like im being read a bed time story rather than watching an anime.
can someone help my cousin wants to know the name of a anime about a angel girl who falls to earth and is saved by a guy who becomes bound to her and makes a wish to remove everyone one on earth if any one knows the name please leave a pm thanks
@binkyboy448 Yeah i know im just a sub person though im to used to it so when i try to watch dub it sounds way to cheesy they cant capture the emotion the chaacters are suppose to have.
@xXxXAssassin "Can't capture the emotion"? They capture plenty of it! Especially in the sad scenes. I can almost tell by the sounds of their voices that the actors are actually tearing up when their characters do.
I know you prefer the Japanese, but to say they can't emote, or at least not on as nearly a believable level as the Japanese, really is pushing it.
@xXxXAssassin Well, then this is clearly where we differ in thought, because I have seen this anime since it first aired, continue to watch each new episode, and have seen all 116 episodes that have aired. And I still think this dub is as good a way to watch Fairy Tail as any other way (besides the Animax dub). In fact, this is how I'm rewatching the series.
Interesting how people complain about old-sounding voices... It's not like the Japanese voice actors/actresses sound like teenagers either. It's just easier to nitpick when you understand what's being said.
Hmm...Idk, but I think the voices should have been more youthful, They're supposed to be like in their teens , not old ppl...Erza is only 19(as per fairytail wiki xD) and they have her sounding like a 30+ lady o.o. Ok english voices but could be better :)
wtf? in japanese juvia annoys the crap out of me but in the english dub i actually..like her? o_O i think its because THIS is how i envisioned her to sound like instead. funimation did a good job with the dub, this is my favorite clip so far! :D
English voice actors will always be different from Japanese voice actors. Different language, different culture, different way of talking. With that said, Japanese is usually the most preferred by otakus.
But take porn, for example. English porn is fine, but Japanese porn sounds like cats getting skinned.
Personally, I think Juvia's voice should have been higher... I'm slowly getting use to JuviaxGray, but in the English dub, Juvia sounds way older than Gray XP
@sedeek55 Since Fairy Tail doesn't take place in Japan, Japanese pronunciation rules need not apply. Most of the characters have English names anyway, so I think it's natural for English pronunciation rules to be applied. And now that we're on the subject, does it bug us when "Gray" (clearly an English word) sounds like 2 syllables in Japanese (or Mandarin for that matter)? - Probably not, so it's really not that big a deal. :)
Though I read a lot of sub/dub complaints but I read a few comments who think the animation for Fairy Tail isn't good! I couldn't believe my eyes~! The animation is awesome how could people criticize it??????!!!!!!!!!!
@Jeddy027 Agreed people need to stop complaining because Funi is doing a great job with this show. Just because it isn't exactly like the Japanese doesn't mean it's the end of the world. I personally like the dub better than the Jap version. I know people don't like Todd playing Natsu but his voice fits with someone as goofy as Natsu. Great job Funi. Keep up the great work.
@AnimeGirlLover015 Totally agree. Todd can do serious well but he really shines when doing some offbeat goofy type character and his work over the years speaks for itself. Funi knows what it's doing and I give them plenty of credit. It isn't easy when there's so many critics out there. Keep going guys, you're awesome
@Jeddy027 THANK YOU! A few reasons why I never watch dubbed anime on YT is because either they don't have it OR they do and all I find in the comments are people bitching about the dubs...such a pain.
OMG if you dont like it dont watch. I personally love this dub and all the va's put so much effort in this and love the show. Stop hating on it they are doing a great job. If you like the Jap better then dont watch this. Jeez. Btw I love this clip :)
@AnimeGirlLover015 I'm sure this is the first time a lot of us have seen a clip of this dub. So expressing our pleasure/displeasure is only natural. Those who dislike it probably won't be watching it again. But it's not like we clicked on this thinking, "Hmm, I HATE dubs. I'm gonna leave hate comments about this even if it's done extremely well."
did they change the voices? I started out watching Fairy Tail in English but went to Japanese after episode 48. And everyone sounds really different to me.
Did someone else Dub Fairy Tail before FUNimation?
If so I liked those voices way better! These ones (even tho I love the voice actor for Natsu) ruin the characters for me. They don't fit. Natsu just seems weaker to me. And Gray voice is too deep.
The old opening was voiced an old guy. All of it just doesn't sound right. I don't like it. :(
And if you honestly think that the wooden acting, PAINFULLY bad script reading, and an overall lack of diverse voices Animax had to offer due to them having, like, ten voices, then to each their own.
And you wish the narrator of this dub was old? HE'S EIGHTY YEARS OLD. THE NARRATOR OF THIS DUB IS AN EIGHTY YEAR OLD MAN. Odds are, he's a helluva lot older than the narrator of the Animax dub!
@binkyboy448 No need to go all caps on me! lol I was only asking a question. and maybe old wasn't the right word. The other narrator voice was richer and I liked it more. and like I said I've been watching it in Japanese from episode 49 up until now (ep115). and I was referring to the sound of their voice not their talent. Everyone has their own opinion!
@khirstin1 Besides, you may not like the voices, but at least they're true to character! For example, Natsu sounds goofy and kind of flimsy, but if you ask me, that benefits his character. Considering he's the hero, it'd be boring for him to sound like it. His charm is that he's an unlikely hero, and to have qualities that make his heroism unlikely without making him seem any less like a good guy does not betray that.
@khirstin1 There's a difference between SOUNDING the part and actually BEING RIGHT for the part.
You may think that Animax had better voices, but Funi has better actors. And these voice ACTORS actually sound like they try.
Besides, I'd prefer Makarov to sound like an actual old and funny yet wise man over some kind of 30-something-year-old Papa Smurf wannabe impersonator who can't express anger beyond mild irritation any day.
@immblueversion In my opinion, it sounds like they're trying too hard. They often don't sound natural. Maybe not everyone can pick up on that but I definitely notice it. However, the director is likely more to blame than the voice actors.
Juvia's voice isn't what I expected, but it some what works for me cause she seems real mellow like her character should be and no offense to the ones that enjoy Juvia's Japanese voice she seemed too "excited" and it really doesn't fit her image. Sorry ^ ^'.
@Msasianchic Exactly! She should sound slower/more mellow and at that scene a little more shy/nervous and less excited. This voice completely changes her character for me which is mega-disappointing. Oh well, Fairy Tail is the one manga I prefer over the anime anyway.
What uh... What happened to Natsu and Happy? I'm fine with Erza, Lucy, and Grey, but that Watanuki (idk if that's even the voice actor, but the voices are similar) voice doesn't fit him at all.
@binkyboy448 Well these are the customers speaking. There's always going to be the hardcore dub/Funimation crowd that won't mind any dub quality. But obviously a lot of people are disappointed with the dub work so that likely means they won't buy it/watch it. If Funimation wants to make more money, they will listen to the feedback these people give them. It's constructive criticism not hatred (although there are plenty of haters out there).
@Bristecom Not ALOT of people are really disappointed. Just that some don't like specific voices is all. It really does depend on one's taste. If you constantly try to match the english and japanese dubs together you're missing the point of tonal differences in the language barrier.
@ElegeantFencer Well yeah, I don't think they need to match the original Japanese dub. There were quite a few dubs that went off the original by a lot but were still very well done. I'm just noticing a trend with Funimation where a lot of the voices and dialog lack authenticity. It ruins the characters/story and loses my interest.
Well, now that we've discerned that Juvia sounds like how she does and the haters are gonna hate, may we move on to how AWESOME Mr. Blocky sounds? (I like to call him that. But know that I know his name is Wally.)
The Japanese version is always better than the English version.
But this dub is better than the sub.
If what I'm saying makes no sense to anyone, or if I appear to be contradicting myself, it just proves how muddied your priorities towards anime formats are.
Oh, and I love how both of the two top comments are complaining about Juvia's not speaking in 3rd person. Bonus points for not having proper grammar. And you do realize that FUNimation can actually SEE your comments, right?
@stargirl1254 It's the idea of changing a character. What person do you know has super strength like Superman? Or super speed like the Flash? None? Oh well then I guess we should go change those aspects of those characters.
@RocketMeowth That's different. They're just changing the way she talks. Does it change her personality? No. It seems the weeaboos are making a big deal over nothing.
@RocketMeowth Yes but, Juvia is a Japanese anime character not an American character. They are trying to make Fairy Tail appeal to an AMERICAN audience...I have never seen someone in the US speak in third-person, it's weird. People in Japan seem to do it a lot, and that is seen as normal from what I've heard. Besides It didn't affect the dub experience as much as I thought it would've since...well I worried for the same thing whether or not they were going to change her speech ;).
I like the fact Juvia doesnt talk in the 3rd person. that was borderline weird in Japanese, but that would have been weird in english. And her having a normal pitched voice, just a plus
Ehh, Juvia speaking in third person would be very weird in English... I know alot of people want it to be in the dub, but it just wont fit >> get what I mean?
@Epicwildfox Indeed. I, for one, never liked it when English speakers spoke in third-person, particularly when it was a Japanese translation. It was actually more grating than anything.
@LintuWaterfall While it is true that addressing oneself in the third person is a fairly common cultural thing (among girls) in Japan, Juvia does it to an extent that seems beyond the norm...especially as that habit tends to be associated with trying to be cute, while Juvia is first presented as cold and distant. I think, in this case, her speaking in first-person is an error. Otherwise, I would normally agree with you.
But he's an evil android built by DR. Gero who had it coming when he was carelessly absorbed by cell and then being reborn and destroyed again in GT... OH WAIT, you mean the number!
@mastaotenko: I SERIOUSLY suggest looking up books on acting or taking some kind of acting course because it wouldn't be easy to understand that there's more to acting from one character to a different one than just altering your voice.
Not attacking you or anything by the way, I'm merely trying to help you understand something.
@Hypeathon Actually I'm verry aware of this which is why I didn't say anything about his voice besides identifying the actor. Todd's acting kinda wavers and isn't there in allot of his roles, he's done great work but most of the time it seems like he just doesn't care. And yes just so you know changing your voice for the role in voice acting is important especially when you do multiple characters but thats not my problem with him here its that his personality in this version is the same as dgrey
I can still hear hints of everyone's voices from every other role their voices have done, regardless of how similar or different the roles they play are.
@immblueversion of course you can, Its impossible to hide your orignal voice completely but that wasn't my point my point was that Todd(the voice actor) doesn't put as much effort into some of his roles and oddly enough he ussually does better in supporting cast like Ling fma, Firo Baccano, The Earl D grey, Italy hetalia, Sakuma summer wars, But roles like Raki claymore, Allen d grey, natsu fairy tail come off as half assed to me and I don't see why this is when he is obviously not a bad actor.
Dear dub haters,
Watch the Animax dub if you think this one sucks.

The other narrator voice was richer and I liked it more. and like I said I've been watching it in Japanese from episode 49 up until now (ep115). and I was referring to the sound of their voice not their talent. Everyone has their own opinion!
Thanks for answering my question.
Try not to be such ass next time you do :D

@khirstin1 Besides, you may not like the voices, but at least they're true to character! For example, Natsu sounds goofy and kind of flimsy, but if you ask me, that benefits his character. Considering he's the hero, it'd be boring for him to sound like it. His charm is that he's an unlikely hero, and to have qualities that make his heroism unlikely without making him seem any less like a good guy does not betray that.
binkyboy448 1 month ago
@khirstin1 There's a difference between SOUNDING the part and actually BEING RIGHT for the part.
You may think that Animax had better voices, but Funi has better actors. And these voice ACTORS actually sound like they try.
Besides, I'd prefer Makarov to sound like an actual old and funny yet wise man over some kind of 30-something-year-old Papa Smurf wannabe impersonator who can't express anger beyond mild irritation any day.

@immblueversion In my opinion, it sounds like they're trying too hard. They often don't sound natural. Maybe not everyone can pick up on that but I definitely notice it. However, the director is likely more to blame than the voice actors.

Juvia's voice isn't what I expected, but it some what works for me cause she seems real mellow like her character should be and no offense to the ones that enjoy Juvia's Japanese voice she seemed too "excited" and it really doesn't fit her image. Sorry ^ ^'.
Msasianchic 1 month ago
@Msasianchic Exactly! She should sound slower/more mellow and at that scene a little more shy/nervous and less excited. This voice completely changes her character for me which is mega-disappointing. Oh well, Fairy Tail is the one manga I prefer over the anime anyway.

binkyboy448 1 month ago
@binkyboy448 Well these are the customers speaking. There's always going to be the hardcore dub/Funimation crowd that won't mind any dub quality. But obviously a lot of people are disappointed with the dub work so that likely means they won't buy it/watch it. If Funimation wants to make more money, they will listen to the feedback these people give them. It's constructive criticism not hatred (although there are plenty of haters out there).
Bristecom 1 month ago
@Bristecom Not ALOT of people are really disappointed. Just that some don't like specific voices is all. It really does depend on one's taste. If you constantly try to match the english and japanese dubs together you're missing the point of tonal differences in the language barrier.
ElegeantFencer 1 month ago
@ElegeantFencer Well yeah, I don't think they need to match the original Japanese dub. There were quite a few dubs that went off the original by a lot but were still very well done. I'm just noticing a trend with Funimation where a lot of the voices and dialog lack authenticity. It ruins the characters/story and loses my interest.

The Japanese version is always better than the English version.
But this dub is better than the sub.
If what I'm saying makes no sense to anyone, or if I appear to be contradicting myself, it just proves how muddied your priorities towards anime formats are.

stargirl1254 1 month ago 9
@RocketMeowth Yes but, Juvia is a Japanese anime character not an American character. They are trying to make Fairy Tail appeal to an AMERICAN audience...I have never seen someone in the US speak in third-person, it's weird. People in Japan seem to do it a lot, and that is seen as normal from what I've heard. Besides It didn't affect the dub experience as much as I thought it would've since...well I worried for the same thing whether or not they were going to change her speech ;).

I like the fact Juvia doesnt talk in the 3rd person. that was borderline weird in Japanese, but that would have been weird in english. And her having a normal pitched voice, just a plus

third person talk is only ONE aspect of Juvia, but it's one aspect that makes NO sense in English. How many people speak in third person in English?
LintuWaterfall 1 month ago in playlist More videos from FUNimation
@LintuWaterfall While it is true that addressing oneself in the third person is a fairly common cultural thing (among girls) in Japan, Juvia does it to an extent that seems beyond the norm...especially as that habit tends to be associated with trying to be cute, while Juvia is first presented as cold and distant. I think, in this case, her speaking in first-person is an error. Otherwise, I would normally agree with you.

@mastaotenko: I SERIOUSLY suggest looking up books on acting or taking some kind of acting course because it wouldn't be easy to understand that there's more to acting from one character to a different one than just altering your voice.
Not attacking you or anything by the way, I'm merely trying to help you understand something.
Hypeathon 1 month ago in playlist More videos from FUNimation
@Hypeathon Actually I'm verry aware of this which is why I didn't say anything about his voice besides identifying the actor. Todd's acting kinda wavers and isn't there in allot of his roles, he's done great work but most of the time it seems like he just doesn't care. And yes just so you know changing your voice for the role in voice acting is important especially when you do multiple characters but thats not my problem with him here its that his personality in this version is the same as dgrey

immblueversion 1 month ago
@immblueversion of course you can, Its impossible to hide your orignal voice completely but that wasn't my point my point was that Todd(the voice actor) doesn't put as much effort into some of his roles and oddly enough he ussually does better in supporting cast like Ling fma, Firo Baccano, The Earl D grey, Italy hetalia, Sakuma summer wars, But roles like Raki claymore, Allen d grey, natsu fairy tail come off as half assed to me and I don't see why this is when he is obviously not a bad actor.
