Fullmetal Alchemist ‘09 – Changes to Voice Cast

I just am not a huge fan of our American dubs, that's not to say they are all horrible. I mean it's like how some people prefer mustard on a hotdog instead of ketchup. I liked the FMA dub but still I'd prefer the original language that's all.

^^

well actually i really dislike dubs i don't know why but it just really pisses me off i have never found a dubbed anime that i thought was not worth hating except....and thats a maybe but fma...but only edward's voice! i love it in original japanese but in english it sounds like a totally different character....he still sound kawaii! but thnk god their keeping paku i would have had a heart attack if they had changed it
subs not dubs! =P

Paku & Kugimiya founded Elricest. :D
I love them so much. xD

wow... i didnt know kugimiya rie did al's voice either... freaking weird...

I've never heard of the term amerime... teen titans certainly isnt anime, but still a darn good show. I love that OP amiyumi did, so catchy.

Agreed, I'm sure this will be an awesome anime!

Phewwww!! I'm happy Paku Romi's voice will remain :D

What? No there was nothing wrong with FMA I just meant Amerime in general. I didn't know people were even using that term, thought it was just me. Well I don't have too much against dubs in my language but at times they seem so out of place and of course because of US standards we have to censor out things here and there including stuff the characters say. I like to watch the original versions far more than the dubbed ones. I have that policy of "subs not dubs" but that's more a less a way I feel about it, I'm not trying to make a bold statement. That's just how I feel, so it's more on a personal level. Although now reading it I kinda see where I might have needed to clarify that.

For me in most cases the original is much better than the dubbed versions we receive but again that's more a less based on content. Like for instance in some American versions we alter story-line and scenes to keep some characters alive even though they may have died already in order to not "upset" people, so it gets confusing when somehow it slips out later that they died even though in the next scene they pop up fine and healthy. I know that doesn't happen in to many series we have but it's still annoying.

I watched FMA when it was on adult swim, only later then after watching the original version did I realize they changed around the opening music and such but all in all they got it very accurate, to the best that US standards would allow. FMA, Bleach, Outlaw Star, & Android Kikaider are the best dubs I've heard as far where accuracy is concerned but I just like the originals better, that's all.

So when did the Amerime term begin? I kind of thought I made that up. American Dubbed Anime = Amerime, well at least that's where I made the term. So then if it's not Amerime, what is it because I don't want to be running around giving the wrong titles.

(Well I suppose nothing can be worse than the Amerime version that will surely have the most “wrong” voice for each person, which we’ll receive in the next 8-10 years as things always go….I don’t know why I even bothered to mention that, seeing as I hate Amerime’s.

Subs not dubs!)

I was going to agree with you until you said that. FMA’s dub is one of the best. And, dude, stop calling it Amerime. Teen Titans is Amerime. What? There’s something wrong with enjoying it in your own language? Acting typically sounds better in a language you’re not familiar with. And besides, what’s wrong with FMA in English? It’s a pretty Western show. The characters’ names are Edward and Roy, for God’s sake! Just ‘cause it came out of Japan doesn’t make it instantly better.

I'm not too concerned with the new voice cast as long as they sound right and appropriate for each character. Well I suppose nothing can be worse than the Amerime version that will surely have the most "wrong" voice for each person, which we'll receive in the next 8-10 years as things always go....I don't know why I even bothered to mention that, seeing as I hate Amerime's.

Subs not dubs!

Err..what?

I didn't know that the voice for Alphonse Elric was Kugimiya Rie...

The Zero no tsukaima character playing him..? Weirdness.


I suppose I need to see the 1st season in Japanese instead. T_T
