While I'm glad they're going to finish off the Rescue Arc, the Bounto Arc is SO bad. I wish they were skipping ahead.

Have you seen the post Bounto arc episodes? Skipping them would seriously screw up the following arc seeing as how several filler characters remain in the canon episodes.

It's the Naruto fillers I'm most worried about........

This doesn't surprise me. I never thought that Bleach was in any danger of being removed from Adult Swim.

At least we'll be going at a faster pace than when they aired in Japan. If they keep the pace of 2 new episodes a week, it'll all be over by November.

I don't understand why people think that's a bad thing.

It'll be a faster pace, that's for sure, but I don't know about it being done before November. At 2 episodes a week for about 80 episodes or so (somewhere in there anyways), It'd probably take about a year or so.

However if they don't do every single filler arc and just a couple of them (mostly with the ones that do have at least mild story content anyways, pretty much just the first and last filler arcs and the Hinata arc) then I could definitely see it done before this fall. Hopefully Viz gets the licesnse to Shippuuen very soon before then too.

Well Teammony pretty much summed up what I was going to say, but yeah, basically it's because the dubing company needs to have enough time to actually dub the episodes, among other things as well, and a new episode a week isn't nearly enough time to do so. Maybe it would work if they indeed did show them subtitled over dubbed, but not everyone is okay with that. I personally don't care whether it's subbed or dubbed, but a lot of other people do.

Please state your basis for "don't fit with the character." Can you give examples where the characters clearly don't fit with the attitudes or are acting incredibly poorly?

Sorry, Xanas..that I wasn't clear in my statement. Bleach and Naruto's dubs are okay. The acting aren't poorly, it's just that they choose the wrong actors to voice some of the characters.

In my opinion, I just don't really like the way Naruto voice is in English. It is still ok, but it's a lot annoying (come on, "believe it!" over and over, i get sick of it) and I guess they have to make his character annoying to fit the storyline. For Bleach, Rukia voicing is ok, Hitsugaya sounds more adultish, and it just doesn't have the right attitude or feel compared to the japanese version. Although, it's probably hard to find those actors to dub them close to the Japanese version.

Not alot of anime do have really good dubbing except probably Full Metal Alchemist and Inuyasha. I remembered I watched Lovehina in dub and one of the women, the actor voicing them had a southern cowboy accent (soo bad), haha. If only they showed subtitles and actual japanese voicing, it would be better.

A lot of time in these series you're getting Japanese VA's with the same or less experience as the American VA dubbing over them. I do know Johnny Yong Bosh's anime credits are longer than the Japanese VA's for Ichigo, although he's become popular thanks to Ichigo.

Your opinion. I like the dub for Bleach.

Naruto is supposed to be annoying, like a child who repeats the same word all the time ("dude", "man", "no, duh!") All the soul society are up there, aren't they despite their appearance?

Your opinion again. If you want the Japanese track, buy the dvds & listen to your heart's content. I was watching Super Robot Wars the other night myself & that one's loaded with top-notch Japanese VA's.

Death Note's ratings haven't even been that good for Adult Swim. Bleach's reruns usually beat it every week, & back when Bleach was new, it was giving AS it's best anime ratings in years.
