I'm assuming he meant when CN aired it on Toonami every Sat.

I didn't like SEED until I watched the whole thing on DVD. However, there is one thing I will say about it, the English dub is vastly superior to its Japanese counterpart.

I recall Seed air in the US around 2004 or 2005. I remember I just started High School when it came out.

Because it doesn't have Japanese Kira cry?

Yeah, but then you have to deal with the fact that Kira is this guy.



And while that makes quite a few of his moments of sheer stupidity/lack of judgement/ignorance so powerful it warps the fabric of reality work, it still doesn't change the fact that I've seen Sentai Reds less sue-ish and more compelling as main characters than him.

Kira, that is. Not Ed. Ed is cool.

I implore you to watch Ronin Warriors. Matt Hill is capable of a truly cheddary cry of agony.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Gundam SEED is one of those rare instances where I prefer the dub over the original Japanese audio.

Oh god, Kira crying sounded like nails on a chalkboard.

Doesn't help that he did that every other episode too.

That is the single worst noise out of anything ever.

Hmm...I still might hate Kamille's voice more. It's very close though.






PS Is anyone else's Sunday morning breakfast ruined without Biscuit?

Looks as if the Force Impulse is getting a new HG.

Speaking of new kits, there's an anime version of the FA-78 (the gundam they use in Thunderbolt).





Good god I want this so badly now.

Actually no, I don't think I've ever heard him cry in Japanese. I just prefer the English voices because I can't picture anyone but Zechs whenever Mu La Flaga talks, one of Kira's friends sounds like a 40 year old smoker, and Le Creuset sounds a lot more charismatic in English. That doesn't mean I don't like his Jp voice, as they both sounds similar, but I just think the English voice sounds a lot more evil. I also loved the Eng voice for Lacus better, and she is my favorite character, so that helps.

I honestly didn't mind Kira so much in the first series. In Destiny however, he felt forced in and was completely annoying.

For Gundam dubs in general, the only ones I like better in English are SEED and Unicorn. I don't mind the Wing dub, I just think it is inferior to the Jp version thanks to the constant changing of the secondary character voices. Plus, I'm not a fan of Zechs sounding like Batman. Oh, and it seems like they added someone saying "Damn" into every episode just for the sake of having it air at midnight as "uncut."

As for G, the name changes bother me, but if it weren't for that, the dub might be better. However, I just can't stand hearing Dark Gundam and Burning Gundam.

Oh, I guess the 08th Team dub wasn't terrible either, but it wasn't very good from what I recall. 0

Never seen the dubs to 0080 or 00, but the rest have been awful. In fact, it makes no sense to me to watch the original show and Zeta dubbed when ZZ is not.
