Welcome to another edition of "Negima! Japanese/English VA Comparisons!"

Akane Omae (Sakurako Shiina)
Colleen Clinkenbeard (Sakurako Shiina)

Miho Sakuma (Mana Tatsumiya)
Stephanie Young (Mana Tatsumiya)

Chiaki Osawa (Chao Lingshen)
Trina Nishimura (Chao Lingshen)

Ryoko Shiraishi (Kaede Nagase)
Clarine Harp (Kaede Nagase)

Misa Kobayashi (Chizuru Naba)
Amy Shoults Rosenthal (Chizuru Naba)

So, who do you think fits better?

BTW, I know someone's going to ask so I'm going to answer right now:

1. I did not download any of these clips! I bought and own all 6 U.S. DVD releases! ($120 @ Best Buy)

2. Just because I own the English Dub DVDs, I WILL NOT and CAN NOT upload any of the episodes. I've seen what happens to people who do and I'm not willing to take that risk.

Sakurako - English, but I love Colleen Clinkebeard.

Mana - English. Her voice is lethal.

Chao Lingshen - Both are okay. I'd be interested to hear it when Chao takes a bigger role down the line.

Kaede - Japanese, but only slightly. It does sound a bit more ditzy, but the English has a charm to it.

Chizuru - They sound pretty similar.

[CharaChange]

Mana in English version sounds like a ROBOT.

Sorry if someone already answered this, but what's the song that plays when you introduce the characters? (Like at 0:25 and 1:22 ?)

[AshenPhoenix]

Sakurako for me is a toss-up. Both sound good in their own way.

Mana I always imagined with a deeper voice, so I gotta give this round to Sakuma, while I normally love Young's work I'm just not feeling it here.

With Chao, I'm such a sucker for Trina Nishimura's work that even tho' Osawa isn't BAD by any means, English is the clear winner.

Kaede, like Mana, I imagined deeper-voiced, so Shiraishi wins. Harp just sounds too young for her imo.

Mana's VA normally has a sexy voice but if she goes into her high range(Mana) she sounds weird..but don't forget Mana has the same VA as Claire from claymore(who happens also to be in that high range)...but I think mana's VA should of used a lower range so it sounds less like Claire who's voice is suppose to be high

Coming soon MUGEN Battles of Ryoko Shiraishi: Asuka Kazama and Kaede Nagase vs 2 Cell Juniors

[pokemonMAst3r2010]

Mana and Kaede actually have Pretty decent voice actors in English cause they are more mature than most of the other girls in 2-A Why did they take out Kaede saying "de gozaru? What's wrong at least a little bit of Japanese? Or did funimation forget this was created by Ken Alamatsu a Japanese manga genius. Funimation really butchers good anime. (Dispite being ruined by Kyoto Abimations' extremly low budget)I like anime in how it was originally created. Japanese for the win!

[AntheranIndustries]

what a bunch of sub fanboys i do think the sub for this particular show but honestly most of the females in sub sound almost the same just my opinion but the dub isn't bad so stop trolling

[Arthus850]

@drifter402 kk. now I see wherw you're coming from. meh. I've seen much worse. and I personaly liked season 1. mostly because I loved how sad the final episodes were

[drifter402]

@Arthus850 no i mean it just a shakey pics infront of lined backgrounds. wat im trying 2 say is this series animation is a piece of crap. actually season 1 kinda is crap. season 2 that rox and the manga

[Arthus850]

@drifter402 all animation is moving pictures

[gugvg]

@puddlemini the japanese voice adds way more dimension then the robot voice gives her
