[up] I seocnd that.

I wouldn't doubt that there are some fans who felt that the dub ruined Gurren Lagann.

No dub ruins a show of anything! The original is still there!

Still, I watched the dub version of TTGL along time ago and TTGL was/is amazing. [awesome]

I'd say Dubbed Kamina isn't nearly as good as the original, but everything else is fine.

Not Gurren Lagann.

I've seen quite a few split opinions on that dub, mostly concerning Kamina (I think it's fitting, others think it's not manly enough). A better example is Cowboy Bebop or Baccano.

I didn't really care for what I heard of the TTGL dub, personally.

I rarely feel entirely comfortable with most dubs if I'm honest, even if I'm not exactly the best judge of the quality of JP va's either. as an example, i'd still rather watch cowboy bebop and bacanno subbed than dubbed.

No one can be the best judge of quality when it comes to JP VAs unless they speak bloody Japanese, period.

For example, the only reason why I don't liek Saturn's voice in the Sega Girls anime is because she sounds so whiny to me. It's annoying.

Kamina's a terribly difficult, nuanced, demanding role.

I prefer dubs whenever possible and whenever they're decent enough. I'm not a purist that says one's inherently better than the other. Subbing has it's own translation problems.

I'm just now trying to get into subs. It's a lot to get accustomed to.

I've honestly found some dubs arguably better than the original when they're willing to alter things to make them more accessible. Steins;gate's English dub is a good example here, the cast is fantastic and a lot of the references have been rewritten to be more Western. YMMV on if that's a good thing, but personally I like a time travel show that's willing to mock Doctor Who.

Picture on the youtube is kinda NSFW, but this is Kill La Kill. Thought the mashup was pretty awesome.

So I finished watching this show yesterday on Netflix {Which just has the sub}. It's insane, but in the best possible way. I love the comedy and the main characters, and the fanservice is down-right ridiculous to the point of hilarity, which I bet is the point.

Anyway, I have a question. What's your guys opinions on the dub? I've only seen a couple clips, but the voices seem to be okay except for Senketsu {Though I only heard his voice in the trailer for the dub, so that might not be the best indicator}.

The dub's been excellent. I don't think I've heard a single unfitting voice. Or even a questionable delivery. One of the best I've heard in a while.

Dub is mighty solid so far. Senketsu still sounds a bit too high-pitched, but that's really it.

Here's a little exercise for you all. If there is a UNIQLO clothes store near your home, pop over and read their marketing blurbs (or visit their website).

POWER OF CLOTHING

Lifewear

Recycling (Life Fibres?)

Clearly UNIQLO is the real world's REVOCS on a smaller scale.

Decided to binge on the dub; it's still pretty amazing, especially Nonon. "YOU STINKIN BIIIIITCH" so fierce. And Senketsu no longer sounds too much like Jin, makes watching it easier.

Sadly, I'm at the low point of the series.

Uniqlo is popular in the USA. There are several in all major cities.

Its' times like now where I wish Uniqlo would've cashed in on the theme of clothing from Kill La Kill. Of course, that may HARM their sales instead of improving it though.

That place is known to put cartoons on some of their clothing too, and some of them are anime, so it isn't far off a possibility.
