    Fate/Zero English Dub

    So, I've only made one topic before, so I'm not sure how to go about this. I hope this is all right! Not a big point to this, really, but how did everyone who's seen this dub for Fate/Zero in its entirety actually feel about it? I liked the cast 80% of the time, and felt a little awkward in others. The only ones I can think of who did a sub-par job were Irisviel's actress and I think Young Sakura, if I remember right. Rin was okay for me, too, and that goes to say that even Irisviel's actress had a few good moments, here and there.
    I really loved Kiritsugu as well.
    The translation for the show is actually very good, from the 20 or so episodes I watched subbed. (No thanks, first three episodes, you're not on my list of top anime episodes ever.) The only issue I ever had was a Gilgamesh line in the final episode, which completely confused the meaning of a line.

    Not focusing on the bottom third of the screen was also pretty cool, and Jameson Price as Rider worked wonderfully.

    Anyone else wanna give a shot in the dark?

    How you'd have preferred them to go about a certain character? Accents? Terms?

    And personally, I prefer command seal over spell. Something about it makes the markings work, I feel.

    I actually own the BluRay set with the dub intact, and I'm happy I do, because those last few episodes weren't captured through Neon Alley well at all,
    so for rewatching it dubbed, being a subscriber, I'd have to sit around and wait for their schedule to pick up again.

    It's okay-ish. Am able to watch this without too much cringe.

    Unlike the german dub. Holy hell.

    Most of the voices in this I found worked well enough. Specifically I really liked Kiritsugu and Kotomine. The rest were okay for the most part. Only ones I didn't really like were Irisviel and Gilgamesh. The VAs they chose for those two really didn't fit well IMO. Caster wasn't the best but worked and Uryuu was fine, if only because his VA went pretty over the top with it.

    I will probably not gonna watch it. Cuz I spent 2 animes, 1 movie, and one entire VN listening to the Japanese voices. I am too used to them at this point. Any other voice will make me hate whichever dub I'm listening to.

    I actually liked Gilgamesh. Sure, the vibe he gave wasn't what I expected in comparison to the original actor. Pretty low, too, but his line delivery was awesome.

    Is Gilgamesh at least better than the whiny teenager we got in the DEEN anime's dub?

    He doesn't sound whiny in this dub at all. If anything, he sounds a little Too majestic.

    Sometimes it's nice to not have to stare at the bottom of the screen to understand what's going on.

    Do you lack peripheral vision? Do you insist on watching all your anime on a movie theater screen while sitting in the front row?

    Or people who may have in a number of unknown circumstances cannot read subtitles or follow it properly. Geez...

    As for the dub, It was fine.

    Though it always depends on the person who is watching it whether they like it or not.

    I like Rider's voice though. I expected proper accents though. Like German and English stuff. ;_;

    In the sense that there are only like 5 English anime VAs and that they will probably all star in.the dub voicing their own kids, yes.

    I like dubs for dialoge heavy shows, ie: spice&wolf. It's also easier to understand inflections.

    What's wrong with liking hearing the characters speak in their native language?

    I suppose that might work in the case of an anime where the characters are all from whatever language region you're dubbing it into but that seems like an edge case since most anime is set in Japan with predominately Japanese characters or foreigners who have to speak Japanese at a near native level to navigate the setting.
