English Death Note.

Coming to Adult Swim October 20th, 12:00 Midnight.

BE READY
HAVE YOUR VHS/DVD TV RECORDER SET
HAVE YOUR MUNCHIES READY.
AND CLAIM THAT "omg lol the english dub is the suk"

Adult Swim? Midnight?

... Yeah, probably won't be able to watch it if I wanted to.

Damn it, I want to watch the English dub D:<

Don't worry.

Youtube might have it up. Even then, if one copy is removed, another will be posted by someone else.

o rite how did I forget about Youtube.

I'll probably watch some of it to see how it is, regardless.

I really think that Yagami Light is voiced by Nickstorm XD
The voice actor and him sound almost exactly alike.

I don't understand why everyone says all english dubs suck. Over the years they really have gotten better.

...especially if you look at other countries dubs, namely Sweden.

Thank you. English dubs, especially those for mainstream anime, have improved to the point of being as good as the original. The translations have become better at keeping the entirity of the plot and less and less signature termonology is being translated. I've actually found some subs that are worse than dubs, actually. Death Note is a highly acclaimed fanchise, and it's likely recieved good care in its dub. So, yes, dubs still occasional fail, but the margin of dub vs original is closing in.

Only dub I've ever liked is FLCL, which is muuuuuuuuuuuch muchmuch better than the sub.

In other news: I live in Canada. I don't get Adult Swim. Just it's bastard child, Teletoon.

The dub of Castle of Cagliostro was better scripted than the subtitled version, and starred David "Solid Snake" Hayter.
It really is down to how much independence the dub has from the original script. Direct translations sound awful, while more interpretative translations can sound great.

I liked teletoon when I saw it up in Canada, undergrads seemed like a good show.

Anyway, I think Canadians are going to get death note on YTV starting October 26.

Undergrads. Haha, oh wow. When I was in a hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, that came on their version of Adult Swim. Fucking awesome show.

Haha that show brings back some good memories yupp :

Gimpy and Rocko were the best :D

Just go to Adultswim.com they have the first 2 episodes there.

I wanted to see the first episode, SOOOO bad. A FRIEND of mine oh so very kindly RUINED the ending of the manga, so not being able to watch the anime killed my experience all the more. I'll probably go and look for the episodes at someone else's house, someone who doesn't have shitty internet. <<

*bitter*

Missed the first episode, but saw the second. I can see now why people are into this.

Whoever this L guy is...is VERY impressive. Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot would be proud of him.

Actually he just annouced to Kira that he knew the country Kira was, meaning, he just gave away his main clue. Were Kira not a student, he could simply get the first plane to Belgium or something.

Still, I love the show.

Still. L is awesome. I need to see more.

Ryuk kills Light in the end.

Spoilers, etc.

OMG FORUM SPOILER: Spoiling things on the internet is not, nor will ever be, funny. I don't care what 4chan told you, that dog don't fucking hunt.
