Re: Bandai Entertainment's English dub for Mai HiME/Otome

Updates from Midori's YT channel!I have uploaded two clips from the dub, because you can never have enough butchering. Wink

First up is the heated conversation between Natsuki Kuga and Nao Yuuki. Both suck at cracking eggs, sooooo why not take it out on each other! ^_^

This next one truly displays Natsuki's manly voice at it's finest:

Don't Fuka with the eggs.

by **Kara** Tue Jul 06, 2010 1:39 pm

Nao's voice sonds too old for her character. But at least she acknowledges Natsuki's butch voice. But, lmfao, those insults were soooo lame! Haha, it was like the white-afied version of ghetto smack talk!

ENOUGH WITH THE EGGS. My favorite part. Ever.

by Midori Sugiura99 Wed Jul 07, 2010 11:28 pm

Omg srsly XD That whole ep... just... no.

Enough with the eggs.

I guess so, though it suits her slutty and psycho diva act. ^_^ Her and Natsuki had quite a lame insult contest, it was so hilarious.

"How about this butch rips out some of your gray matter, I can use it as a sponge!"

Come on guys, are you kidding me? Rolling Eyes

I have decided to upload dub clips with their original Japanese (with sub) versions attached to them. In order to see what Bandai played with. If you guys have any scenes in mind, let me know! ^_~

Oh god, Shizuru sounded like a southern robot in the English part! In the sub it sounded more natural, the dub sounded awkward....

And, on the subject of Natsuki and her butch voice, here's Kenzie's impression of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3zuwyuL1EI (It's the first fact)

by GaleLupin-Otome Sat Jul 10, 2010 7:05 am

Shizuru's voice aint that bad, I mean sure the japanese version is better but the english aint so bad. Now, Natsuki screaming "Enough with the eggs" in the english dub will haunt me for life...

by **Luu Sky Sapphire** Sat Jul 10, 2010 12:44 pm

Ah, I love our new multiquote button. Now I don't have to make quotes manually like an assshole. XD

LMAO! Dubbed Shizuru sounds worse in other scenes, trust me! My only problem in that clip was the way she said Tokiha.

TOE-KEE-HA

*shivers* Maybe it's correct, but the way she makes it sound....gah. Kenzie on the other hand...is the coolest person I've ever witnessed. XDDDDDD

That line sounded so subtle in the Japanese original too...:lol: Who knew Bandai could make history by making it the most awkward one-liner in the entire dub.

Here's our next entry:

Akira Okuzaki (Akira-kun!!!) with a message for women. XD j/k, it's her battle against the cake-hungry Orphan. On kitty kitty, On kitty kitty. (I know she says "kiriri" ;P )

by Kino karutta-chan Sun Jul 11, 2010 7:10 pm

Well, one vid was enough, I don't have to watch the others, do I?? XD

Natsuki's voice is really manly, but she doesn't sound like she is from TLW ;P And I am disappointed by Nao's. Even the German one is better O__O Well, the only voice they got well done ~.~

by **SpiderNeKoHiME** Mon Jul 12, 2010 10:13 am

on kitty kitty! xD akira sounds too girly compared to her japanese seiyuu....they try too hard.
oh noes...-hard facepalm- i thought natsuki sounded like a butch dyke before...
the eggs video is living proof of how horrible she sounds. -dies a little on the inside-
nao sounds awesome in english! you guys have no idea! no idea!!! X3

by **Kara** Mon Jul 12, 2010 7:36 pm

Haha, I watched the Akira clip when she's chanting to her frog and I'm like, "Why don't you just speak english to it?! I'm sure it will understand!"

Kara's right, Megan. I mean, he is a creepy motherfuccker who rapes nuns, but you're going too far! And do you use that language at home!?

The latest from our Mai-channel. >_> Nao's confession! If you have any particular scene you wanna see in dub format from Mai HiME or Mai Otome, just ask away! Besides, the Nao video was the last request. ^^;

by **Kara** Wed Jul 14, 2010 8:45 pm

Oh! Oh! I wanna see the part in episode like....20 dubbed/subbed? When Natsuki slaps Mai in the face :DD Not because I actually care about the voices, just so I can watch Mai get slapped over and over.

And that in like episode 16..ish? Idk The part where Natsuki goes into the Director's room to find her missing only to have Shizuru come up behind her and tell her the lil wheel chaired midget is out.

by **Kara** Sat Jul 17, 2010 7:23 pm

Don't you know? He can re-grow his limbs.

Answer, Megan!
No. I'm a poor, illegal downloader of the whole subbed japanese verison of HiME, that's why my clips are so pretty. As for Otome, I only have like 6 episodes because I didn't really like the anime too much.
