Posted April 16, 201312 yr I've currently watched almost 5 episodes of the Unova season but with subs. Should I continue watching the Japanese version or is the English version any good to watch??? Because I know they edit a lot of things that really doesn't need to be edited or removed(Looking at you Yu gi oh 4kids version) If the English version is as good as the Japanese one then I'll continue with the English episodes,if not then I'll continue with the Japanese version
April 16, 201312 yr I'd say just keep watching in Japanese with subs Edited April 16, 201312 yr by Euphoria07
April 17, 201312 yr Honestly, going by what I've seen of the English dub, I'd actually have to lean towards the subs. Normally I prefer dubs, but in this particular instance I wouldn't recommend it.
April 17, 201312 yr The Pokémon USA dub is... pretty lackluster. It's not offensive or anything, but the voice actors all sound really bored, the theme songs are pretty much the same every season, and there's just no passion like the Japanese version of the 4kids dub. It feels like they're doing it for a quick buck whereas at least the 4kids actors seemed to put passion into their line readings.I think I would like the Unova episodes a lot better with subs because some of the English dialogue is really redundant, too. Granted, I'm outside the target age group for the anime anyway.
April 17, 201312 yr Before i would have said watch it in english, but now that i watch it in japanese..i completely change my mind. If you want better voice actors who actually have emotion along with better character names then definitely watch the japanese version..its a whole lot better than the english version.
April 17, 201312 yr Author The only anime I ever liked to watch in English rather than Japanese was Dragon Ball Z,the dub in that anime was epic for me(IT'S OVER 9000). As for Pokemon,I'll watch the Japanese version with subs,I've recently seen a small cutscene of one of the episodes and the voices were so lifeless and boring.WHY DID THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL CAST OF THE ORIGINAL (KANTO,JOHTO,HOENN) SEASONS WITH THOSE IDIOTS???
