U.S. dubbing

neovu79

Ugh! Horrible. I recently bought volume 1 of Gundam SEED for the sheer fact that it I must have the US release. I've seen some pretty bad dubbing in my life and this series ranks in the Top 5 worst I've every heard. Every time I hear them say a character's name, it's like scratching your finger nails along a chalkboard. When talking, they sound almost robotic. I am very disappointed in Bandai Entertainment. The subtitling is great, except they misspell every single name!!! They're names, except for Kira's and Athurn's, spelled completely different form what the Japanese official website list them. There are times where I would like to send them a Japanese to English translating dictionary but I know it won't help much. I've seen this anime to it's entirety and I think it's the best Gundam series Sunrise, Inc. & Bandai Visual created, but Bandai Entertainment is killing it with these terrible dubbing. I hope these is a dramatic improvement in volume 2.
