[Blade Raider]

Kamen Rider Kabuto has an offical English dub. Some of you may already know this, but I find it to be uncommon knowledge. It's no surprise that it's not well known since the dub was only aired in the Philippines as part of Toonami of all things. Recently I got my hands on a complete copy of the dub and decided to put some clips together as a sample of the dub. I made sure to get every rider in there. Plase forgive the video quality, it came that way.

I do believe this is the only offical English dub of any Kamen Rider show, so I'm curious to know what people think of it.

And that's why I added a fun poll

I still think it's better than a 4Kids dub and most live action dubs made in the US though.

LOLwut? Yeah....no. Although, I'm totally okay with the use of "Transform!" in place of "Henshin!" Hell of a lot better than Dragon Knight's "Kamen Rider!" That was just stupid.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS!

I actually think that the acting talent is generally good, considering what they're given. And I really think this highlights how ridiculous some of things in Kabuto were in hindsight. For example: "My name is Tsurugi & I'm going to replace god with a slash of my sword", "I thought you were aware of the fact I'd already become the bee".

But seriously, Blade Raider, I, we NEED more of this! Like the Black chef episodes, or when Tendou & Kagami team-up in area X, oh! Or the movie if that's been dubbed.

I sincerely disagree.

I dont know about you sometimes.

This was horrible, and should be buried. Somewhere deep in the earth.

Oh come on. Even if you don't like it you at least have to admit this is interesting right?

I have to admit no such thing. I'm sure someone taking an auger and shoving it up my ass would be interesting, but would I let them do it? Uh no.

This would be better if it was an intentionally comedic dub xD

Also, I loved the voices for Drake and his rival, that generally made me laugh.

My favorite voice is Yaguruma's. I'd just love to watch KickHoppers entire introduction with that voice. He sounds so different, but so cool at the same time!
