Re: The Official BBS VA Discussion Thread
Honestly, I'm good with everyone's.
MX's will take some massive getting used to, since after 3 watch throughs of the trailer it still sounds like he's croaking/being really hoarse when he's saying the lines. But perhaps after they dub his Jump Festa monologue(are they going to for a future trailer?) he will sound better. No offense to Nimroy fans, and I certainly am not trying to be prejudiced against the English version.
Haley Joel Osment? SOUNDS SO GOOD AS VANITAS. Its a different brand of evil, but it definitely works
I think I'm gonna need the whole thing to pass judgement, since all of them kinda had varying quality of delivery throughout this very short trailer. The only issue I usually I have with English dub is that it sounds forced or unnatural, which is becoming less and less of a problem.
(Now, if only I had money to get the psp and game...)
ETA: For those of you dissing one or the other version-STOP.
Neither is worse(this is kh, it usually has top notch dubs, and dubs overall are getting better) than the other!!!! The basic qualities of the languages are very different, which means that they're going to sound very different, even with equally skilled VAs. (I have not studied Japanese, but after listening to a lot of it, it seems like it has more vowels in the words, and a more...literal way of explaining things instead of the enormous dictionary of words that exist in English. This means sentences are going to sound longer and more flowing, in similar circumstances where English dialogue might be more jarring).
IMO Japanese Terra also fits just fine, because although he's just 19-21 ish, some young men do have very deep voices. On the other hand, some don't, like with the English version(or maybe he'll sound deep in other lines)! IMO also English Aqua makes her sound older, but on the other hand that makes her sound stronger and more capable, which is also fitting with a part of her image. Japanese Aqua sounds more her age-which IS younger than Terra's 19 or so years.
Japanese Ven sounds more innocent and cheerful, but English Ven has an edge of seriousness while sounding like a regular teen.
I can't see anything wrong with either version, other than having to get used to MX a bit.
