@Starfalko The dubs are usually not totally direct translations because they have to make adjustments so the dialog still syncs with the lip movements. Its much easier said than done.
Japanese voices are better to those who aren't native to the langauge and the subtitles tend to embellish what is actually being said, a lot of times i catch subbers adding in words, like if a character simply says "who are you?" in an angry tone they'll put "Who the F*ck are you?". This being a light example. And dubs are restricted by the mouth movements of the characters so they are often not able to add in these words which would otherwise spice up a dull sentence.

@ForeverKokiri That's the worst use of Google translate I've ever seen. Even if you did speak Japanese I'd doubt you'd be able to tell the difference if English is your main language. (Which I'm pretty sure it is.)
@Super1337H4x0r Well, I would like to publish some comics in manga style, but probably not all of them. There are lots of great comics out there that aren't manga, as well as ones that are. What I find great about manga is the way that action and dialogue is portrayed over many flowing and overlapping panels, and I feel like a lot of traditional American comics are too wordy and bore the reader with superfluous exdplanations of the storylines.
@AngelDouche66 agreed, and you're right about the shitty soundtracks it just didn't fit with the ATATATATATA scene. Actually 4kids still use this method of shitty soundtracks over every show they ever got from, the most recognizable one that I noticed more is in the Sonic x eng dub I mean fuck in every episode. I can't take it its just fucked up.
@BANGuzman I know it's getting real annoying. I mean I've found dubs that are horrendous, but I've found more that are decent and sometimes great imo. This for example.
@BANGuzman The problem is people who think Japan is God but can't even speak Japanese nor realize how cartoonish most of the Japanese voices are. It might break some hearts out there, but a lot of times the original voices aren't that great from a Japanese perspective either.
@Psychlonic I do agree with most people can't tell cartoon-ish voices in the japanese dub, however I would like to ask a different question. Why watch something not in it's original state. It's like watching the Simpsons, or Disney films in Japanese. And if you heard the Japanese dub to the Simpsons, or Disney films, you would know how bad that is. I not saying the English HNK dub is bad, hell I grew up with it. But to really appreciated the Anime, you must experience it's in it original state.
@Masaki195 you don't have to 'experience it in its original state' for it to be just as good. voices aren't going to make you appreciate something more or less.
@Pyrodefence101 Ahah, no it isn't. Not universally. Don't go saying things like "voices won't make you like something more or less" when that's flat-out not true. Good/bad voice acting can make a decent show amazing, or terrible.
@Goatmon doesn't matter if its english or japanese is what I'm saying. not voice acting, only an idiot would say acting doesn't matter. I was telling him that just because somethings in its original language doesn't mean its better than the other language. and you shouldn't say 'don't say' because it would give others the impression that you're trying to tell them what to do. see the truth in my words? :P
@Psychlonic You know, I never even thought about that... That makes purists sound even more sad than I originally thought. lol The original voice actors might not even be as great as they think, but they wouldn't know because they don't speak the language.
The biggest problem with this dub is that it replaces the classic Hokuto No Ken soundtrack with generic techno. Not even good techno, just shit.
Replacing a soundtrack is possibly one of the worst things a dub can do
The voices aren't half bad, some are good (although its annoying when nearly every other guy is voiced by Steve Blum), but this dub didn't make past episode 32
I don't like that one either, but at least there's something distinct in that soundtrack.
(I dare you to watch the DBZ english dub with the original soundtrack, it only makes the dub seem really poor. Exceptions are some of the DBZ movie dubs, and the DBZ Kai dub) But this is just a shame how music replacement ruins what could've been a decent-good dub otherwise.
That's what I love so much about Ken. He's not like those corny comic book heroes who would surrender if so much as a single human life was on the line. If someone threatens Ken with that, he's like "Oh, well when you put it that way I guess FUCK YOU!!! ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!! WATTA!!! .....so, you gonna kill 'em or what?"
