....ugh! Another screw up.

I'm starting to hate Naruto's english dub. Is it me or have the voices and voice acting gone down hill? If I were to pinpoint an arc, I'd say the kage summit arc. The voices and acting has started to suck.

I was sooo looking forward to hearing Kushina's english voice and I must say I'm SORELY disappointed. It doesn't fit her temperament at all. These damn studios keep getting the voices wrong. First they the wrong English voice for Mikasa in AOT and now Kushina. Ugh!

Now I'm scared they're going to choose crappy voices for Madara and the Ramas. Ugh.

Tobi's voice will be madara's voice when he gets revived in the war arc....

OT. I liked her voice but you're right she really didn't fit "angry" part of voicing kushina...

I think I heard Madara's dub voice on a game video. It sounded like pure ***. :nosebleed:
I think Kushina's voice sounds fine.

I'm fine with her voice. I hate Kurama's voice though.

Its because they dont think its of most importance to get the perfect voice actor. Their primary concern is to get the dub out.

Thats why sub is better

I'm starting to feel that way too. Istarted out with dub so I could watch the episodes while working on other stuff, but I don't think I can **** with it anymore.

Tobi's voice will be madara's voice when he gets revived in the war arc....

OT. I liked her voice but you're right she really didn't fit "angry" part of voting kushina...

Oh that's right. Tobi's voice was hella sexy. Quite fitting for Lord Mads.

Lmao how can people like japanese voices you can't even understand them.

*sigh* smdh.
Where's the voice at ? post it please :O

Voice is from english dub episode 246:

I've said I would post it if sub v dub occurred so here it is:


As quoted in the video, these are voice ACTORS, not voice IMITATORS. This is their interpretations of a character and how they believe they sound like. I like Kushina's English interpretation as well as Mikasa's.

Oh, and by the way, at least the English voice actress for Mikasa gave the character emotion, the Japanese voice sounds bored as hell when she talks.

EDIT: Almost every important figure in the War arc has had some sort of English dubbing, from Madara to even the revived Hokage, minus those in the manga, and they sound much better in English, ex. Tobirama.

FINAL EDIT: And also as mentioned in the video, the English actors/actresses are selected by the directors of the series. So Hayato Date, the director for both dub and sub for Naruto, selected the English and Japanese voice actress for Kushina, so you can't really hate on the dub without hating on the sub.

And they chose WRONG! No one's asking for english imitations of the Japanese voices, but english voices that reflect the character's personalities. These voices are NOT true to the characters. Mikasa is a cool headed, calm, overprotective, sad girl who doesn't show her emotions. The english voice they chose is that of a high energy, emotional teenage girl.

Kushina is basically a female version of Naruto. Spunky, passionate, and energetic. The tone of her english voice needs to be on Karin's end of the voice spectrum.

GTFOH and the screw this boring video. Mikasa's voices should be sadder and softer. Actually, I think the tone of Kushina's voice would be good for Mikasa but the acting should be more measured emotionally.

Its the female actresses's interpretation of the character, as stated before, plus the english voice for Mikasa actually conveys the level of emotion Mikasa feels for when Eren is around and for when he's not. And I think you need to calm down a little.

She's good, but her angry voice need improvement. It should be a more aggressive, but Kushina role in the story end pretty quick.
