Samurai Champloo in dub... kill me now.

::listens to a clip of English voices of Samurai Champloo on an NPR show::

::covers ears and shrinks into seat, horrified::

Make it stop, make it stop! That's not Jin's voice! That's not Mugen's voice! Make it stop!

....Thank god, they made it stop.

::listens to further discussion about Paranoia Agent:: Hm. Sounds cool.

"Full Metal Alchemist has regularly topped polls in...."

YES! Full Metal Alchemist, my baby, my love. You will heal the tortured wounds that used to be my ears after hearing the dub SC... Full Metal Alchemist makes everything better...

... Funny how they use "violent" (with stressed emphasis) as a description for SC but not for FMA. Cause, dude... FMA is like 3 times as gorey as Samurai Champloo. Say it with me: exploding heads.

What jaina said. It would be hard for English VA's to match the perfection of the Japanese voices, especially for Mugen, but who would be better for voicing Mugen than Spike Spiegel? That having been said, I think Stephen Blum is still settling into the role, but I enjoyed the dub and will continue to watch it. I went so far as to review the dub in my journal, and it does deserve a fair shake.
