It sickens me when people say dub lack emotions. Although.. 75% dub do suck. But there is that 25% we over look.

English




Original, but mirrored..


Now since we know Itachi is a good guy, the speech pretty is funny. First time hearing him snapp, you'd be like: o_O Dafaq?

It's just... not Itachi. It's not anime. Anime without japanese is like Naruto without his whiskers ;_;

Quite funny, Japanese producers usually praise other dubs, but English speakers hate it. :(


Acceptance is just isn't in some nature.

Translations are never perfect, you can't really expect it to convey the right emotion in another language, writing is a delicate process and translation from Japanese to English is a pretty rough way to go, but they do their best, i will just continue to watch/read with subs but mostly stick to the manga anyway

Unless you speak/read Japanese, Neither Subs, Dubs, or Manga will be perfect.

I'm guessing Crispin Freeman hasn't had experience with characters losing there mind...

Needless to say, the sub was better in this instance. I was actually kind of frightened when Itachi went on his unusual crazy rant.

Ohh so that statue did mean you need yours and your bothers sharingan to obtain rinnegan "0:36". I forgot where but we was shown this statue before in the manga.

The dub scared me, not cuz the dub usually sucked, but cuz it was actually some good voice acting.

The 1st time the dub has emotion and it scares the shit outta me smh

Are you serious? Dude, he played Alucard in Hellsing.


Don't know about you, but he did an excellent job.

Reading the volume books are the closest thing to perfection you get.

I know who Crispin Freeman is, and how talented his voice is.

He played Lord Jeramiah in Code Geass.

I'm just saying though that I was terrified in this instance by the sub voice actor. He was the better man.
