When you see Kurama in the manga, do you prefer the English or Japanese voice?

Both are close to 14 minutes into the episode: For dub, (Rutube around 14 minutes in) while sub is

Because Tesshou Genda is over 25 years older than Paul St. Peter, I think his voice makes Kurama seem less sinister. I actually think Genda makes Kurama sound a bit more cocky than Kurama should be. However, he does make sound sinister.

I think (for those that aren't dub lovers, his English voice sounds somewhat like the Cave of Wonders voice from the Disney version of Aladdin) St. Peter does it better and makes him sound less overly cocky then Genda does.

That is, I find the English version more sinister than the Japanese will not say that I think it sucks*.



*The opposite is of the following case: In the harem anime, using the English title, "Cat Planet Cuties", I think Aaron Dismuke's voice of lead guy Kio more fitting than his Japanese counterpart because his seiyuu was a woman and I find that harems, save for cross-dressing or extremely effeminate or genber-bending lead guys, should be done by guys. Kio's Japanese voice I felt sucked and such offense is intended).

Why shouldn't Kurama sound cocky? He's an incredibly powerful magical talking fox...

The English is better. The Japanese makes Kurama sound like a female. I also prefer Yusuke's voice in English.

If you prefer the English dub over the Japanese dub/sub then you deserve to be killed off...

Japanese sub is way better.
English dub sounds like 3 yr olds.

Manga's original format is japanese, so it should be it.... But Eng sub helps greatly...

Kurama's Japanese is better than his English voice BY FAR, in my opinion, it isn't even a contest.
