Oh Why
out of all characters why did they had to made naruto sound so lame he's the main character of the show too. If they had made naruto voice sound not gay then I might have watch the English version of the show. Hope Bleach doesn't turn out like this. |

only for the main character naruto it the worst dub for him but not all the characters. The worst dub would be Love Hina |

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Naruto sounds about the same in English as he did in Japanese, and both are pretty annoying...

I think the voices for Rurouni Kenshin's english dub was good aswell. I really havn't watched one piece at all, so I don't know how bad the voices are :/ he naruto japanese voices were very good. I kinda had a feeling the english version wasgoing to suck. I was right! :O unfortunately.. |

i stopped watching around 153 and now i'm just waiting until the fillers are over to pick it up again. i decided to rewatch naruto via the dub on ytv while waiting. at first i was horrified, as most of you are, but at sometime between the first epsidode of the dub and the 20th i got used to it.
now i don't mind the voices at all. in fact, last episode sakura had one of those oh so common naruto style, emotional breakdown and it actually made me a little sad! my point is, eventually you'll get used to the voices if you watch it long enough. i still prefer the original though |

I can't believe with Steven Blum (Spike Speigal) as VA writer with basically the same staff from Cowboy Bebop they could have got it so wrong...It's not so much that the voices suck as the voices DON'T FIT...Finally I got to hear Orochimaru's voice and was really dissapointed and I'm a person who always gives dubs a chance...It's like they never have watched an episode of japenese Naruto...I thought for sure Oro would have that dark, low pitched type of voice, but he sounds like a Harry Potter sorcerer or something...Sasuke, Kakashi, Shino, Kiba, Sakura, Shikamaru, etc, etc...All have voices that don't fit (Shino's voice sucks...his whole personality is destroyed)...I just can't beleive they could get it this wrong...Naruto is like the only voice that's somewhat acceptable as they do keep the tone of his japanese counterpart, but everyone else is beyond sad...I actually had good hopes for the Naruto dub after seeing who would be behind it, but I think it's fair to say they have failed...

I thought Steve blum's voice would have been good for Kakashi like it was suppose to be originally. I never heard orochimaru's voice because I didn't watch it long enough. I didn't even watch a whole episode, so i'll just tak your word for it that it sucked. |

Now the thread's turning out like I expected...
I suppose, outnumbered as I am, this is an argument that I can't win. But I disagree with everyone's sentiments that the voices don't fit. So far, most of the characters' English voices suit them well, imo. And for those characters I've heard in both English and Japanese, I've found most of them sound pretty close...

It wasn't a bad voice at all, it just doesn't fit Oro's snakeish personality...I mean I would much rather a Skeletor or Cobra Commander type of voice than the one we got...Oro isn't a swash-buckler, or gentlemen type...He's a sly snake in the grass...That's not represented in his voice...Now when he was still pretending to be that women he had one of the best voice dubs in the industry which is the woman who plays Major Motoko from GITSSAC...Her and Blum are probably the best in the industry...
