Mainly because all my eps archived before the fillers are from Lunar.
I started DLing Dattebayo subs since I really am not picky at all about my fansubs and just wanted to get the first version I could that I could trust wouldn't botch translations.
Wasn't Lunar also the one who used absurd amounts of slang in their translations? I remember some group always had Ichimaru Gin "Talkin 'bout stuff like he was from the ghetto and don't know grammar well." And that was sorta cute/novel at first, but they went overboard with it after awhile...
Either way, Lunar's out, DB is still around. Not too much point in lamenting. We all knew Bleach was going to get licensed one of these days, and that when that time came Lunar would drop it. So that's all there is to it.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I have no problems with downloading DB's subs. I was planning on keeping the Lunar episode, but during the end of the SS arc they started to release their episodes rather slowly anyway, so...no problem, really. DB does a decent job in a short amount of time.
@ Kraco :
Same here. I wan going to skip the fillers and start downloading Lunar once the anime got back on track with manga.
I am not so keen on DB. They are a good speed sub but like DarthEnder said they use a lot of Japanese words or rather dont bother translating them and its the hard words that they dont sub. Like some attacks used by some characters and I would like to know what that attack meant in English.
@ masamuneehs :
Yes, Lunar did go overboard with some of Gin's lines but the rest of the dialect and language used was completely fitted those characters of Bleach. For example Ichigo's bold way of speaking to his enemies and not giving a fuck, was completely captured in Lunar's translation. Thats what attracted me to their subs.
DB is fine too but I would have liked to have that extra option of downloading Lunar as well. Sometimes I used to watch both versions.
I think somebody just started the whole "absurd slang" smearing perhaps as a joke or perhaps because he supported DB or Bleach-Society and took things too seriously. Then more people joined the movement for one reason or another. Although it's readily noticeable, nobody can deny that, you have to be predisposed beforehand to dislike it, or it won't bother you that much. It's true few anime titles show such subbing, but during it's best days Bleach was a punk show, so why not.
Well, i find it a bit dissapointing that it was liscened by Viz though Yes i did assume that they would due to the whole shounen jump tie in. I think it sucks because of the way it seems they have been handeling some of the other shounen jump tie in's such as Naruto. From what I have seen when I looked at the Naruto and One Piece DVDs, they only have the s****y edited tv versions with no japanese tract, only the english version. <I had planned on trying to get Naruto on DVD (since would be better quality for collecting the show) but there is no way i'd buy a crappy version with no sub and I can only assume they'd treat bleach the same and only have the english version once it goes on DVD. (which im hoping since they mention it might be a adult swim show that they would give it a japanese tract also, but really cant say). <i find it ironic how in their magazine they try to promote japanese language with 'japanese lessons' in their magazine , and yet when you look at their DVD versions of anime that they run their manga counterparts, (Naruto, One Piece) there is only and edited english version -_- . In the end i'll just be sticking with Dattebayo's sub and watch Bleach as I have been through them and Naruto come April.
(sorry for any typos I might have missed...in Germany right now on vacation and their keyboard set up is different >.< ...)
Dammit, I really wish people would stop making things up. Viz is releasing uncut Naruto dvds with both English and Japanese language tracks and will most likely...no, undoubtedly do the same thing with Bleach seeing as how Bleach has a slightly older target audience.
For the record, Viz != 4kids. Yes, 4kids gave One Piece a hack-job, get over it. The same thing isn't happening with Naruto.
This seems like good news. However I still feel a sudden chill coming down my neck, I hope they dont use the same VA for Ichigo as they did for Inuyasha. He has a nice whiny nasal voice that works perfect for Inu, but thats just not how ichigo talks. The english language just sounds silly when they try to imitate the emotion of the japanese VAs, but I wont pass judgement till I hear it.
I've always watched DB subs so it doesn't matter to me. I find DB better then Luner for some reason. I don't know wut's the point of dubing this anime? its going to be one of those f***ed up series they have out right now. its a shame to let such a good series go to waste. I hate dubs. I've seen naruto dubed, and if it was my first time watching naruto I would change the show. VA don't even know how to pronounce the stuff right. this sucks.
I'm sending Viz some hate mails. going to do it everyday till their mail server fills up.
