On the DVD they said they had to lengthen Sebby's catchphrase because of mouth flaps. That is why you hear "Yes, my young lord." instead. I was also disappointed at first, but being a fan scriptwriter/dubber myself, I could see where they were coming from. So calmly withdraw the fangs, please.
oh my god....you know what would be hilarious? if they used the same guy who played Ayame in Fruits Basket to voice Grell. or wait.....that guy's voice is way too deep. Anyone else know a gay-sounding voice actor?
Not bad. They shpuld of mase themselves sound natural with a hint of diect. The english dialect is way too strong. I guess it takes some time to get use to.
Honestly the voice wasn't that bad. I was there and it was really good. You just have to get use to the voice. Of course it's gonna sound different in English than in Japanese and the actors gave it their all because they really love the series (THEY WATCHED IT BEFORE DOING THE DUB) SO PLEASE DO EVERYONE A FAVOR STOP BITCHING AND COMPLAINING. KAYTHANKSBAI.
WHAT THE HELL "YES MY LORD" IS ONE OF THE TRADEMARKS OF SEBASTIAN I DONT CARE IF ITS OFF LIPED I STILL WANT IT .. at least they kept "after all i am one hell of a butler"
PERRRRFEEECT~ But, personally, I reeeeally can't wait to hear R. Bruce Elliot as Tanaka. I mean, that's pure win right there. Or the mysterious Daniel Frederick...they were raving about him in one video I saw, but I'm still hoping he's "as wonderfully shrill and flamboyant" as he was. xD
Aaaaand let's hear it for Funimation subs: "*something along the lines of 'I just pwned you with my fancy coat'*" "WTF?!!!"
I think it's too soon to tell if one likes the voices or not. Personally I'm kind of sad he doesn't say "yes, my lord." But honestly, the meaning is the same =/ besides, saying it without a Japanese accent would most likely NOT fit the flaps and sound -really- awkward. And no one wants that.
Also, J. Michael Tatum's voice is not too high. He voiced Kyouya in the OHSHC dub. He's a good actor. Ciel sound's just fine to me.
In the end, if you don't like it, don't watch. It's as simple as that.
Hey don't be to hard on him the reason why they changed up the lines is so that they could sink the voices better to the lips is what Tatum said to me it actually sounds better in person though he can't beat Daisuke Ono he does ok
Ciel doesnt sound energetic enough..besides as i thought the voices suck..but well... i live in europe. so i shouldnt complain about a dub which will never be shown here xD" .... the french dub on tv sucks more >_> ... but i'm curious for the german voices...but i'm not optimistic when i look at the the latest dubs which came out here -_-
I'm not a fan... I've seen a large clip of the first episode, and a clip from the second - I'm not liking the voices chosen for the dub. They don't fit the characters, in my opinion.
Oh well. I'll still with the original Japanese, and Daisuke Ono. Damn, his voice is beautiful.
Anyone complaining about Ciel's voice/accent should realise that a noble - even a child - in Victorian England, raised richly... albeit with trauma, would sound like that. Defined and refined. And, obviously, English.
I can get used to this. But I have a feeling that the accents are going to be a tad bit annoying if they don't sound good. Sebastian's voice is okay...
I need to watch more to really 'judge' it. That was barely enough to judge how good the dub is. <3 even if it does suck, i'm still buying the DVD's because i'm a hard core fan! Or maybe I should say, "I am one hell of a fan" : D
I have to say, I'm amazed they managed to make Ciel sound like a guy. But I have to say he dub probably would be better without the accents. This at least the way the bad audio sounds, makes this sound like a really bad fandub.
i'm a fan of brina palencia and j. michael tatum. i'm not complaining. lol. but honestly, fans should learn by now that the english dub is never as good as the japanese dub, namely because you're used to one way over another.
if you'd heard the english before the original japanese would you be complaining? not likely.
Sebastian's voice is alright, but I'm not really digging Ciel's voice. But this is only 29 seconds so hopefully I'll change my mind once I hear more? x] Upload part 2 asap please, cause I'm DYING to hear the rest!
As for the people who are bashing, please note that everyone's voice is different and these voice actors tried their best. Also, that no one can possibly replace Daisuke Ono's [sexy] voice or Maaya Sakamoto's voice. ^-^
while in ep one he may say "of course, my lord", I saw a clip of ep two, and he said "consider it done, my lord" at one point. I'm almost certain he may say "yes, my lord" at one point too. But it all depends on the mouth flaps. They cant say "yes my lord" if it doesnt fit...
@VctorianXLolita OF COURSE! EVERYONE! We MUST buy the DvDs! if you dont like the dub, there will be the japanese dub along with subtitles in that dvd!Support Yana Toboso!~
@fubukifangirl Thats the thing, when Ono D says it in english, it still has like an extra little syllable or when he says it its a little different thanks to the japanese accent. "Yes my Lord-u" or "Yes-u my Lord-u" we hear that. It might have made a different for the flaps, at least, me and other Kuro fans were talking about it at blackbutler. net so...Well I have yet to see how the mouth flaps are.
Also, about oother clips, AliceofMurderland has them. Im not able to give a link though.
I won't complain because either way if the dub sucks or rocks we are still going to get the Japanese audio in the DVD's too so everyone can always watch those. I will always love the Japanese and appreciate the English but lets just try to be supportive.
Okay, I know a lot of people are saying he sounds a little feminine and I agree but lets try to understand something. Ciel is (at this point in the anime) only twelve years old. He has YET to hit puberty so (I'm laughing as I type this) he is going to sound like a girl. I just like to think like that. I think the voice actors are doing their best. There aren't many people who are working as voice actors that can do accents but I think they pulled it off the best they could.
I have to say, Sebastian isn't too bad, but Ciel's is just downright bad....I laughed. I can't take him seriously with that voice. It's just hilarious. Methinks once I buy the DVD's Japanese with Subtitles is in order.
I love Sebastian's voice, kyoya is perfect for him. Ciel on the other hand will need a little work. It's too femine. But I have heard worse and it isn't bad enough to get me to not watch the English dub.
Totally not digging Sebastian's voice -_- Hopefully my opinion will change once I see more. However, I really like Ciel's voice :D It could be just a tad deeper but it's fine as it is. Sebastian's, on the other hand, is bothering me..idk why :/
Guys seriously stop judging so much already. It's only 29 damn seconds of the other 234567876543245678765456787654567898765456780000000000000 seconds we haven't seen yet.
I am glad to have seen it, but unfortunately I am very disappointed. I thought they would do better. Ciel's voice is actually pretty good, but GOD I /almost/ wanted to puke at Sebastian's. Just....not....him.
Ciel...it sounds like something I would make him sound like if I tried VEEEERRRYYYYY hard! x'D (I can do guy voices, but doing Ciel's is really hard for me)
Ciel's voice isnt actually half bad! ;O
Its not that girlly in my opinion, but I did picture it a bit more boyish.
@babypupps I disagree. His Japanese voice had a firmer more boyish hint to. This just sounds overly feminine for him - but I guess it'll be good for when he's playing a girl at Druitt's party. :/
Then again, everyone is going to have different opinions on this, so to each his own.
@xXxIcee True. I still think it's kinda cute, to me. I was more annoyed with Sebastian's voice because I thought it was too similar to Kyoya, for example. People have different opinions though, again, to each their own.
I'm wondering though, for the second season, who'll voice Alois...

i think the fact that they all have really fake english accents so lame
i mean, they even gave Lao an English accent, hes bloody Chinese for cripes
i mean Ceil, ok, but he should still sound like more of a boy and less of a girl
Sebastian, maybe, preferably not, but at-least not a heavy one like this
still i think they could have done way better. i mean with wins like FMA, Soul Eater, and Hoist Club
then this, well in comparison this is garbage

@TheDucttapeJedi If Grell has an english accent I'm just going to give up on the dub altogether unless his voice sounds amazing. :|
He's a Shinigami for jeezus' sake...Just because he visits London doesn't mean he has to have an accent XD
And Lao has the same cheesy accent..? Seriously..? Wow.
I guess I'll just wait to see an actual episode for myself, but... I'm already a little disappointed based on what I've seen around Youtube. :/
