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.
