Topic: Beautiful Dreamer Dubbed

[sidzero]

You know, I don't get at all why people don't think movie 4 doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense to me when I watch it.



But that could be because of certain... hobbies I partake of (though a LOT less of these days).

The movie 4 is in terms a little philosophic talking about life

Movie 4 is a movie where it takes time to understand the most part of it I guess. I think everytime we watch the movies and the episodes we find something new that we hadn't discovered the other times we watched.

I have to point out that I've only seen movie 4 once so that's probably why I don't get it yet.

I think I like the voices used in Movie 1 (also used for 3,4,5,6) better than movie 2. There's a certain... quality to Lum's voice that I like better but I can't quite point out what it is. In fact, the only part of the dubbing for the first movie I DIDN'T like was the fact that Lum called Ataru by his name... this happened ONCE at the very beginning. All the other voices were better suited. Beten's voice was ESPECIALLY done well! The voices were pronounced the way you expected them to be.

Actually Cherry's voice sounded like the same voice from one of the TV dubs, slightly Indian accent. So that was slightly a set back.

And for those of you who heard the dub voice of Mr. Invader, that kinda high annoying one, be happy that this time the voice wasn't like that at all.

Back to that "quality" in Lum's VA, I think it might be that the voice applies some sort of innocence to the character. Definitely my favorite ENGLISH Lum VA so far.

Again, this discussion i mostly about how the english voices are done and whether they are good, this does not mean the the japanese VA aren't as good, in fact I'll say right now that the Japanese VA's are officially and automatically at the top.

Personally, I just liked movie 1 better than movie 2. Everyone's favorite is Beautiful Dreamer... except me. Only You was the better movie in my opinion.

[UruseiNeo]

You know... they dubbed the movies... do you think there is a chance they may start dubbing the TV show too? Now that they know how to do it right, I suggest using Movie 1 voices + different Cherry voice.

Actually... I don't think I've EVER heard a good cherry! Maybe it's impossible!!!

[sidzero]

I doubt they'll try to dub the TV anime, or even the OVAs, again. I remember reading somewhere that there are English dubs of the first 6 episodes out there from when they were broadcast on the BBC. But they were horribly done, and it was some time ago. The series has kinda fallen into obscurity as far as the mainstream is concerned. After all, it IS more that 20 years old now.

[UruseiNeo]

Oh I know about those dubs. Actually I think it was only the first 2 episodes for one dubbing company and then another did episodes 1 and 3 and called them 4 episodes instead of 2.

As for the problem of its age, they DID dub the movies not too long ago even after about 15 years so clearly it's not forgotten yet.

Okay... all this talk... is making me want to dub the episodes... damnit, now I REALLY wanna dub it!!! But I'd need help...

Is there anyone who'd be willing to try? We could do a SAMPLE scene just to see how we do.

Is there anyone who'd be willing to try? We could do a SAMPLE scene just to see how we do.

Most of us would "die" or "kill" to dub UY,just give us the sample scene and we will try to dub it

[UruseiNeo]

that's the kind of thing I LOVE to hear ^_^

Well... I guess our first sample scene should include Ataru since most of the people here, I think, are guys. How many girls do we have?

How about the scene from the first episode where he meets cherry?

[sidzero]

I doubt we have enough females here to cast all the women of UY. And we'll not even think about how many of the few would actually have the talent. Or the recording equipment, for that matter. I know I have plenty of recording equipment myself, but the reasons for that are neither here nor there (not to mention I don't particularly want to tell everyone about all the things I do with my time).

[UruseiNeo]

Well again, this is just an idea that we can try. We should probably open a new topic. I'll do that tomorrow...

[kyo]

the sad part is I cant' dubbed my voice onto urusei yatsura, but if you need silent bob guy You looking at him

[cata]

Maybe some guys can make a sweet and cute voice... Anyways, if guys don't cooperate it would be a hard task for girls you know? I think I don't have a girly voice but I can try to make one for UY.

Urusei Yatsura Project D is about to begin,not all of us may survive but it will serve for the next generations of otakus
