Masked Rider Kabuto

[custom_magnum]

So, saw the first episode of the Philippines dubbed Kamen Rider Kabuto today.

And they picked the most perfect cast ever. Tendou sounds like a dick. Hiyori sounds as shy as she is. Kagami's as much of an eager young man as he was in the original first episode. Everyone's voices are perfect.

Of course, the English dialogue doesn't fit the mouth movements... but at least the dialogue doesn't play when the mouths aren't moving. Then again, I doubt any SERIOUS dub had that problem, but it's still something.

Of course, since this is a Dub and not an adaption like Dragon Knight is to Ryuki... well... all the problems present in the Japanese version of Kabuto (None of the riders until Gatack appears being likable and Thirty Xanatos Pileup to the point of stupidity)are going to be present here, unfortunately. Of course, that's not the DUBBERS fault.

So... if RPM actually ends up being the last Power Rangers season, we need to get this dubbing company to dub and bring Shinkenger. And somehow get it brought over to the US. The kids must NOT be deprived of awesome Samuari Rangers!

... Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot. Also, Godzilla movies. Admittedly, they may not have been serious dubs, but still.

Is this dub on the TV Nihon boards? It's been ages since I've actively sought out toku.

I bow to your superior expertise on this matter, as the first exposure to Toku was Power Rangers, and the only Godzilla movie I saw was the American one.

And I actually found links to a site that streamed it on the henshinjustice forums... and I think it's with the other download links, so you'd have to actually register to get to them.

Or you know, if you want to see it I could go steal the links for you. Either or. ^^

I'm no expert. There's just something about the earnestness of old dubbed toku that just makes it come across as... endearing, for lack of a better word. Like, all parties involved are trying really hard to be dramatic, and yet it's mucked up by unintentionally comedic guys in rubber suits portraying monsters, overacting, and long stretches of dialogue when the characters' mouths are closed. Old toku is fun and I'm just along for the ride.

Also, I would love links! I'm generally leery about joining forums and try to avoid them. Past bad history with Digimon fandom, you know.

Thank you! More to watch over the weekend!

You're welcome. In my case, I'm going to be a little bit too busy watching Kamen Rider Black and... playing the billions of video games I still have to beat.

I have work and fics/novels/B3 worldbuilding documentation to finish :|. If only there were more hours in the day!
