What are your thoughts over the Japanese dub of the transformer prime series? Or any tf series!

I kinda love the second opening song of the primverse

OH! This is gonna be a long post! Let me talk a lot PLSSS!! 🥺👉👈

I love the original TFP dub but I also dig the Japanese version! I often enjoy comparing the differences between them!

A lot of popular voice actors in Japan participate in the show. Some of them even did voices in the “BEAST WARS” series, which had a big fanbase in my country.

The biggest difference between the original and the Japanese version is that the latter makes a few adjustments to the characters to make them more distinctive and child-friendly. They even added some comical lines that weren’t in the original to make it more mild and relatable for children. Because the original had some pretty serious moments. So in the Japanese version, Starscream and Airachnid turned out to be the funniest characters…

Similarly, “BEAST WARS” also underwent some comical changes for similar reasons. And because of that, the show was a hit with Japanese kids back in the day. So in TFP, I'd say they also gave a nod to fans who grew up watching it.

But as you can imagine, these changes have divided opinions among fans in Japan. Tbh, I understand how both of them feel about it because I love the original vibes! That being said, the Japanese dub has a lot of adorable moments that don’t exist in the original version! Let me pick up MY BOY BREAKDOWN as an example!!!!

He has a funny childish demeanor and talks more than in the original dub. His favorite phrase is “壊すの大好き!(I love breaking things!)”

In “Deus Ex Machina,” the episode of his first appearance, he says, “あーーーごめーーーーん！！(AAAHHH I’M SOOOORYYYYYY!!!)” to Knock Out when he accidentally hits his partner's face with his hammer!

In the next episode, “Speed Metal,” when Starscream scratches Knock Out’s paint as a punishment, Breakdown breaks the fourth wall and speaks to kids in front of the TV, saying “みんなぁ！ いじめはダメだぞぉ！(HEY YOU GUYS!! BULLYING IS WRONG!!)” AWW IT'S SO ADORABLE!! HES 100% A NICE GUY lmao

And surprisingly, he even sings a song sometimes... If you don't believe me, please check out “T.M.I” and “Operation Bumblebee part 2” 🥺

And Our Knock Out is even more of a narcissist than in the original. He always praises himself for how beautiful he is. He usually uses polite Japanese when talking to others, but sometimes he talks to Breakdown casually! I love how the difference in his behavior signifies that Breakdown is special to him as a friend! ( ꈍᴗꈍ) <3

In addition, the voices of Optimus and Megatron both sound younger than in the original! On the other hand, Bulkhead sounds older than in the English version. That's interesting! Oh, and did you know? Wheeljack speaks just like a samurai! This change is probably due to his two-sword style.

I especially love Japanese Ratchet. The voice actor is Nobuo Tobita, who has played many TF characters until now. His voice is really soft and gentle! Besides, he also voiced Scourge in Rise of the Beasts! Wow, he has a wide range of acting! I’m a long-time fan of his!

Oh, speaking of ROTB, let me mention Japanese Mirage’s voice actor, Shingo Fujimori! He’s a famous comedian, and his comedy style is acting like a player and a party person (or someone like that… it’s difficult to explain). He shouts things like “YOOO! GIRL, YOU’RE SO PURDYYY!” So he really fits the character of Mirage!

Oh! And you listened to “TRANSFORMERZ” by M-flo? I like the song too! The original opening theme of TFP is magnificent, so you all might be surprised at the gap between them, but such an anime style is not bad, right? It's interesting how we find different styles in different countries!Unfortunately, the show was only broadcast in Japan up to seasons 2. I wish I could have seen the entire series dubbed in Japanese...😭

I really talked for quite a while, sorry! Thank you for the question, and for taking the time to read!

Helluva Boss Japanese Dream Voice Cast: Cash Buckzo

Cash being voiced by Jouji Nakata

Nakata's roles include

Kotomine Kirei of Fate/Zero

Alucard of Hellsing

Kazuya Mishima of Tekken

Baki of Naruto

Sojiro Sakura of Persona 5

Sol Badguy of Guilty Gear

& Giroro of Sgt.Frog

Coincidentally, in my 1st HB-JDVC post, I chose Isshin Chiba (voice of Jin Kazama) as a potential Japanese VA for Blitzø. Plus Nakata as father Cash & Chiba as son Blitzø would be like Kazuya & Jin (also father & son) except in Hell.....

Hi, so I need some help

I went to the premiere of Solo Leveling in LA last night, and before the screening they had photo ops stuff for the attendees. They had a sword replica from the show on display at the bar, worth like 15k, like wtf. Anyway, this guy goes to the photo op and one of the staff brings him the sword to hold for pictures. and only him.

and then he also takes pictures with the 2 producers from Japan, one from A-1 studios and the other from Aniplex, while holding the sword and then they put it back. Then during the Q&A before and after the screening, it was only the producers, moderator, and translator on stage.

My wife and I want to know who this guy is!! Is he a VA for the show? Another person who worked on the anime? My wife had a theory it might be a member of TomorrowxTogether but idk about that. So I’m posting the pics she got of the guy from a distance to see if anyone might know who he is! He has to be someone he got to hold the expensive as hell sword!

This weekend I had a one-in-a-lifetime experience in Chile’s Super Japan Expo event. I got to meet Hosoya Yoshimasa!!!! And also, Shinichiro Miki. I want to tell you how it went!

The event lasted 4 days, but I had tickets for Saturday and Sunday, both of the days that Hosoyan would be in the event. I got the m&g with him for Sunday because the friend I was with didn’t had m&g ticket for Saturday and I didn’t want to leave her alone haha.

On Saturday I attended Hosoyan and Miki’s seiyuu pannel, which was held in the main stage of the event. That’s the first time I saw him up close and omg to say I was speechless is an understatement. I have no pictures of this because Hosoyan’s staff didn’t allow it and I really wanted to respect his and his team wishes so they could see how well behaved we were and would want to come back. Still, it was really fun and they mentioned cool things about them and their job that most of the attendees didn’t know. What I remember of this pannel is this:

-when Hosoyan entered the stage, we were cheering loudly and he shushed us and THE WHOLE STAGE WENT SILENT! it was so cool! He then recited a line from Reiner and we all went crazy.

-when it was Miki’s turn, we did something so cool were the whole audience recited Musashi’s lines in the rocket team motto (we did it in spanish) and Miki did Kojiro’s. It was awesome!

-the interviewer asked them the typical questions such as if they liked Chile and what they thought of the crowd’s energy and love towards them (Chilean and latinamerican crowds and fans can be veeeeery energetic and we cheer like crazy for our faves) Miki and Hosoyan said that they were really amazed at how loud and fired up we were, saying that in Japan they didn’t get the same reactions (they mentioned this as something really positive which they loved a lot)

-then they were asked about their roles and what got them into voice acting, again, this is not new information, but it stuck to me when Hosoyan answered that question, he told us the story about how a friend of his at school lend him a VHS tape of an anime he wanted to see (i don’t remember the exact name, sorry) and he liked the main character so much cuz he was able to teleport, so, in his child mind he thought something like ‘mmh i wanna teleport too’ so he wanted to become a voice actor after that. He ended his story saying: “and now I am able to teleport” which made us laugh a lot (he was so cute and silly ♥️)

-they also talked about their first experience in the voice acting industry. For Miki’s case, he was casted as a character called student c for Monster Hunter anime, if I remember correctly, his sole line was something like “That’s not human!” Towards a demon and his character was k worded by said demon lmao. Then Hosoyan told us that his first role ever wasn’t even in an anime but in the dubbed version of a Chinese drama or movie, where his character got be headed by the protagonist. Both Hosoya and Miki finished their stories with “I guess we got killed a lot back then” HAHAHAHA

-Miki also told about his first voice acting role, he was so nervious that he was shaking so, in order to hide the tremors of his hands, he put them on his pocket the whole time and all his superiors thought he was having a bad attitude towards them so he got scolded HAHAHA

-they were also asked about if they had times in where they would be so into character that they’d end up sharing the same feelings and suffering along their characters. Miki said that he, in order to do his job right, had to be the person who knew that character the most, so there were times in which he felt that way. On the other hand, Hosoyan said that he tried to distance himself from characters because he felt that, even if he got into the skin of his roles, he would never be able to express the genuine feelings his characters are experiencing. He used Reiner as an example and said that he had a complicated past and had suffered a lot and said that he was different because he was a happy and lively person that lived his life to the fullest and I loved that about him.

-during the whole thing they were waving, smiling, doing finger hearts. It was so cute. Hosoyan smiled at me multiple times and responded to my waving!

-at the end both Hosoyan and Miki took a picture for their socials. Miki took it with an ipad, it was really cute!

Then, for Sunday, I feel that it was more intimate. It was pretty cold and less people attended but still, the main stage was packed and full and they received a lot of love too.

This pannel was slightly different.

-again, Hosoyan entered with a line from Reiner and we did the whole Musashi and Kojiro thing again. It was just as cool.

-they were again asked about their feelings on Chile and the crowd and they said that they thought few people would come but they were really happy to see a lot of people, specially familiar faces from yesterday. (This was after the m&g so we all had our signed shikishi). I was pretty happy they remembered the people that was in the pannel the day before.

-this time, in the stage, right next to the interviewer was Alvaro Díaz, a popular and well loved Chilean Voice actor that was a guest and asked Miki and Hosoya very interesting questions. His interventions were very positive and added a whole new mood to the pannel.

-Alvaro asked Miki and Hosoyan if they had times in which they intervened in something that had to do with the characters they were voicing. Miki said that he considered the director as the captain of a ship and that he respected his decisions on his characters fully. He also said that his sole job in the studio was to give a voice to said character so he listened to the director’s directions, on the other hand, Hosoyan said that he was very talkative when it came to his characters and in more than one chance he exchanged opinions with directors on this matter. He said that he always had something to say and never kept it to himself haha. I loved seeing this side of him! And I also loved the contrast between him and Miki. Hosoyan then added something that stuck to me a lot: he said that we Chilean fans were lucky because those kind of things were never discussed in events in Japan. Those topics were talked about off work, between fellow seiyuu along with drinks. It was so cool!!!

-Miki then looked at Hosoyan and said “wow, look how much you’ve grown!” And it was soooo cute! They reminisced the times where Miki would take Hosoyan out for drinks and give advice to him ❤️❤️❤️

-Then Hosoyan talked about his role as Joe in the megalobox anime and he talked a lot about this. It was pretty awesome. He told us about how nervious he was about this role because it was a reboot of and old anime and that he respected Joe’s original voice actor a lot so he felt pressured to do a great job. Teruhiko Aoi then contacted him and told him that he saw Joe well portrayed by him on the screen which made him feel really happy.

-Miki then talked about his role as Takumi for initial D. He talked about how he got the same car as the protagonist and kept customizing it along the car in the anime was customized and now he had a completely different car hahaha. Then the event showed a trailer for a branch story of the same anime, which had nothing to do with Miki 💀 and, when it finished, Miki said “do you know what’s the best part of this trailer? THAT MY NAME IS NOT ON IT!” HAHAHAHAHA.

-during the trailer, Miki, the translator, the interviewer and Alvaro moved from the screen to let people watch and Hosoyan didn’t HAHAHA he was sitting, watching the whole thing, then he looked at us, very confused at to why everyone was laughing and then moved away slowly lmao it was soooooo cute!!!

-then hosoyan took a pic for his socials. Miki didn’t do it this time.

I feel like Saturday’s pannel was shorter but idk haha

Thennnnn, the m&g!!!! As I said, I bought a m&g ticket for Sunday. Gifts were allowed so I bought him a bottle of wine. I wanted to give him something he could enjoy and Chilean wine is worldwide famous so it was the perfect gift.

Before entering the m&g we were waiting with the other girls in there and talking to each other about the whole thing. There were girls that came all the way from Peru!!! It was soooo cool!! They were also super friendly and sweet, so if you are here and reading this, it was soooo nice to meet you all!

There were other girls who attended the m&g the day before and talked to us about their experience. They mentioned Hosoyan’s manager, who was standing a few feet away from us haha. They say she was SUUUUUUPER strict and scary and that she was the main reason behind the no picture rule and stuff. They also said that, during the m&g she kept things really fast and didn’t let Hosoyan interact with fans for a long period of time. I looked at her and she had this 9 yard stare, like she was super scary HAHAHA.

Then, we entered the m&g, which was held in a small room. There were chairs and stuff and a stage with the events banners and all that jazz. We were given masks at the entrance and they told us it was imperative to wear them. Then, the staff of the event came and they told us the rules. No photos allowed, the gifts wr had for him couldn’t be handed to him directly, so they collected them and put them aside. He did take the gifts with him so it was cool. The shikishi were already signed. He had signed them previously. We were explained how it would work: Hosoyan would enter, share some words with us, then give us the shikishi by order, shake our hands and we would leave 💀 we were given only 15 seconds to interact with him.

Well, he came and I was literally dying. Like I couldn’t believe how handsome he was. I kid you NOT, he is GORGEOUSSSSS!!! And so coom and polite omg he was smiling the whole time, said hi to us in spanish and was super happy to see the girls from Peru there. He literally was a ray of sunshine, the whole room lighted up when he smiled or laughed. The his manager hurried him up and he started handing the shikishi. I was in the front row of seats so we were first, we had to use sanitizer on our hands, then he would shake our hands and hand us the thing. I got suuuuuper nervious and I was shaking. I apologized to him for not speaking japanese and told him about the wine and that I hoped he enjoyed it. He squeezed my hand and smiled brightly! He was so warm and rubbed my hands cuz they were cold hahaha. He thanked me for the wine and for coming and gave me the signed shikishi. Then I had to leave HAHAHA. It was SUUUUUPER SHORT, super duper fast, but i’m not really complaining because not even a fulm interaction of 24 hours or something would be enough with someone as bright, handsome, cool and talented as him. For real!!! After the whole thing I was shaking and I literally couldn’t believe I had shaken the hand of THE Hosoya Yoshimasa. He was so humble and down to earth too, it was the best experience ever!! It was worth EVERY CENT!!!

So that’s it!! I hope you liked my experience hehe. I will not upload a picture of the signes shikishi because he asked us to keep it as a personal treasure and not upload it to socials 🥺 still, ill leave you a pic I took before the m&g and the pics he took of us on both pannels!

Miki also was such a sweetheart! On Sunday he was almost moved to tears to see how much the Chilean public loved him. It was the best!!!
