I know. There was a thread about that. I was very surprised that it came out early. It's like Christmas came early this year. I just finished watch the 1st episodes of Hikaru No. Go and MAR. Today I'll go there and watch the 1st episode of Prince of Tennis.

Well, according to the Jetstream panel at AX, Toonami has said that HnG, and Mar for that matter, will be only on the Jetsteam and they currently have no plans to broadcast them on TV. Prince of Tennis is possible, but I'm guessing that it'll depend on how well the show does and Jetsteam and how good DVD sales are once they're released. |

Was there any information on the DVDs? Like dates or packaging? I would assume they'd be bilingual as the Jetstream version was unedited to the best of my recollection. |

Hi, does anyone know why the site would not work in a public library? It has highspeed conection yet when I press enter their is a little red box that is on the top left hand corner.
Oh, I wonder how Viz will release Prince of tennis I wonder what the long-time fans are saying about the dub. Really that's the only reason I want the site to work. |

Does the library computer have Flash installed?

I was thinking it could be something like that. I think it does not, and perhaps it only lets administrators install things since it only serves for Internet purposes, but thanks I'll try do you know the exact site to get it?

I just watched the first episodes of Hikaru no Go, MAR, and The Prince of Tennis, and below are my impressions. Remember, I've never seen the Japanese versions of any of these shows, and I've only read the manga of Hikaru no Go up until the latest chapter in the US Shonen Jump. I've already seen the first episode of Hikaru no Go on a preview disc in a US Shonen Jump issue, but I will still go over it here.
Hikaru no Go - Wow, what a great way to ruin a show. I absolutely love the manga of Hikaru no Go, but this is one of the worst dubs I have ever seen. The two main characters, Hikaru and Akira, have completely incorrect voices. Hikaru should be much higher and Akira...I don't know what to say about him...Just listen and cringe. I'm glad they left in the excellent original opening and ending, but that does not make up for the terrible dub. And what happened to Sai? Who decided to give him that kind of crap voice? I can't watch this dub any more. If a box set is released, I'll buy that and watch it in Japanese. MAR - This show just plain sucks. The dub was not as bad as Hikaru no Go, but the main character's voice (which is also Hikaru's, I believe), is simply too annoying to bear for an entire series. Not only that, but all the music was changed in the series, including the opening and ending. The entire premise of the show could only appeal to 10 year olds, so this is one I will not be watching. The Prince of Tennis - I had high hopes for this one, after reading the previews in the US Shonen Jump and coming out of them with a general liking of the manga, but this dub, again, let me down. Ryoma's voice isn't too bad, but that girl. I don't know her name, but if she is a main character, I feel sorry for this dub. Not only that, but her grandma's voice makes her sound 30. The crappy new opening and ending doesn't help this dub, either. I can't see myself watching this dub anymore -- it's about the same quality as MAR, which is like it's from somewhere around the original Dragon Ball Z dub's timeframe -- but I'd like to give the sub a try. I don't like sports, but I want to see if I can be genuinely interested in sports anime/manga, so I may buy the DVD(s) when it/they is/are released, assuming they have the sub track. As for Naruto, I already watch it on Toonami and own the first uncut box set, so I'm good. After first seeing the Naruto dub on Toonami last year, and after first seeing the Naruto sub on the DVDs this year, I had confidence that Viz would produce a competent dub for Bleach (which I have not seen the sub of, either), but now I have serious doubts. If this is (possibly) the best Viz can do, then I guess they just got lucky with Naruto (and InuYasha for that matter). If the dub of Bleach turns out anything like that of Hikaru no Go, MAR, or The Prince of Tennis, you can count me out of watching it on [adult swim] later this year. |

Is she that little girl? Man, her voice is awful. She doesn't sound like a realistic girl at all. It's definitely cringe-worthy. |

The Hikaru no Go dub is easily one of the worst dubs I've ever seen. But, as you said, I'm probably going to buy the DVDs anyway, just because I want the Japanese track. As for Prince of Tennis, I strongly suggest that you go to YouTube and watch it there (I know for sure they have episode 1). I mean, I'm going to continue to watch it on Jetstream, just so they know people are indeed watching it (I want a DVD release), but, as of now, the dub is not to be taken seriously.  I really hope they improve on PoT...they've already ruined Hikaru no Go, so I'd rather that they not ruin one of my other favorite shows. If the Bleach dub is anything like these two, I think a boycott of Viz is in order.

Man, you people jump to conclusions and are awfully reactionary to things like this. Viz obviously spends a lot more time and money on shows like Naruto and Bleach. The Jetstream stuff is done on the cheap. Do you honestly think Viz is dumping as much money into an online-only streaming video version of a series as they are into something that's airing on Adult Swim with a DVD release already scheduled? Bleach will undoubtedly use a very experienced studio and top-notch actors.
I guarantee you that this is a totally rational and reasonable thing to say and that doing so will bring Viz Media to its knees. Last edited by Zac on Sat Jul 15, 2006 2:02 pm; edited 1 time in total |
