RRK on AXN

[ryezen]

ohhhh!!! they started airing RRK on AXN (english dubbed) again!!! and they started at ep01! :B

gaaaa... cant believe the animation is quite bad!!! :mad: plus you dont get to see any strong opponents yet :(

i hope this will continue on till the end of the series - well atleast my memory will be refreshed though! :)

What's AXN? [blink]

[ryezen]

its one of the channels which come with my cable subscription - i always thought that it was Australia-based :confused: (not sure though)

[cursing is heard]

[ryezen]

hey, dont feel bad! :)

[tekblade]

how much do they cut out ?

[ryezen]

hmmm posted at the same time...

cut out? as in scenes? im not sure if they cut out any scenes - ive seen a lot of eps aired on this channel and have also seen the reapective subbed versions - so far teh only thing ive noticed is the dialogue

[Ko Hakaisha]

Well, lucky you! ^^

I wish we had an anime channel over here, though.

[ryezen]

lucky? ha! it only means that i get to wake up at 7 and not 10 am since the reruns happen at 4 pm, my class starts at 5 pm but i have to leave my house atleast an hr before due to the traffic... which reminds me i have sat. class later at 9 so i gotta be up by 7 continue this some other time...

[Ko Hakaisha]

Oro? [blink] Umkay, sure.

Oooh, the fabulous "Samurai X" dub...where they make kenshin sound like Captain Planet ^^;

[Lord Henry]

Kenshin:'Let our powers combine' -*cornball American voice*

[ryezen]

hey, the voices of the dubbed RRK sound good - it is actually one of the few dubbed anime that i like/love to watch and not just tolerate (unlike EVA!) - i even consider the dubbed RRK better than the original (in terms of voices that is) - u should watch atleast one ep with the whole gang and youll find out! - Sanosuke's voice sounds even cool! - 4 a 19yr old!

[Tamachan]

Lordy Lordy...you must be the ONLY person I've ever heard praise the Samurai X dub...it's otherwise universally condemmed ^^;;;;;;; And yes, I have seen it.

[ryezen]

hehe... well, there's always a first! im not really sure why i like it - to think that i am a subbed lover!

maybe it was an effect of watching eva? since i got to continue watching the rest of RRK (the series after Shougo saga in its dubbed form) after a lot of Eva reruns - notice the paradigm shift? hmmm... maybe i should post this in the eva forum :lol:

I hate the English dub version, did you know that they goofed up some key parts of the story. Like they said that Kenshin was a government loyalist, wrong Kenshin was a member of Choshuu Ishinshishi who wants to replace the government with a new one(meiji). Jin'e was never mentioned to be part of the Shinsengumi which he was, until he got mad. Also on the first part of Saito's introduction, they said that he was a part of some Rebel group called the Shinsengumi, wrong again, Shinsengumi is like the police of the Bakumatsu and they guarded Edo castle. SEE, in fact the only time I heard the faction Choshuu was when the fake Battousai story(the one with the cross scar on his arm.

[ryezen]

yes, i have to agree with you. of course like all dubs, the dialogue is changed - the only thing i was praising 'bout the dub were the voices (which when compared to other dubs are relatively ok)
