#RUROUNI KENSHIN 2012 ENGLISH DUB SERIES#

Besides an animated feature film, two series of original video animations (OVAs) were also produced. Studio Gallop, Studio Deen and SPE Visual Works adapted the manga into an anime television series, which aired in Japan from January 1996 to September 1998. The complete work consists of 28 tankЕЌbon volumes, while years later it was reprinted into twenty-two kanzenban volumes. The manga was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly ShЕЌnen Jump magazine from April 1994 to September 1999. The manga revolves around themes of atonement, peace, and romance. Watsuki wrote the series upon his desire to make a shЕЌnen manga different from the other ones that were published at the time, with Kenshin being a former assassin and the story taking a more serious tone as it continued.

After his work against the bakufu, Hitokiri Battosai disappears to become Himura Kenshin: a wandering swordsman who protects the people of Japan with a vow never to take another life.

The story begins during the 11th year of the Meiji period in Japan (1878) and follows a former assassin from the Bakumatsu, known as Hitokiri Battosai. It's not really a 'how Japanese pronouced certain names and honorfics' its just BAD translation which makes it an overall horrible dub.Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story ( Japanese: г‚‹г‚ЌгЃ†гЃ«е‰Јеїѓ -жЋжІ»е‰Је®ўжµЄжј«иљ-, Hepburn: RurЕЌni Kenshin -Meiji Kenkaku Roman Tan-) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuhiro Watsuki. Horrible mispronunciation of easy to pronounce Japanese words. Yahiko's name is pronouced 'Ya Hi Coo' And Sanosuke is pronounced 'Sanookey'. 'Battosai' is pronounced 'Bat to Sigh' and instead of 'The Manslayer' its 'The Slasher'. So, good luck and in the end, you just gotta pick one or the other.'Karou' is pronounced 'Koryee' in the Sony dub. For all I know, they continue on and butcher other names, but I will never find out. I only got to the second episode before I turned it off. So, good luck and in the end, you just gotta pick one or the other. Not even close! It's her name, how can you get that wrong?! It even says 'Kaoru' in the description for the episode, so her name is not supposed to be Kori. (From what little I know of the Japanese language, this could just be a different way of pronouncing this name, but it still bothered me.) 'Kaoru' was now 'Kori.' For me, that was the last straw. Kenshin was now pronounced 'Kenshi' or 'Keshi', getting rid of the 'n's' altogether. Then I began to notice main character name changes. Also, Kaoru's voice was higher and more girly - making her sound rather silly during the obviously more serious scenes. In the MB version, the characters say 'Battosai the Manslayer' but with the Hulu/Sony version, they say 'Battusai the Slayer.' This may seem insignificant, but it bothered me. I noticed it was fairly different from the version I knew and loved. I've been trying to find versions to watch, and I happened upon the one on Hulu.

I saw Rurouni Kenshin when it aired on Cartoon Network and I fell in love with it. Let me tell you my experience, with some specific examples.

It seems your question has generally been answered. Even though I prefer subs, I would gladly watch the Media Blasters dub over that steaming pile any day thank you very much! Bad, so very bad, I wanted to take a shower after glimpsing such trash, could not get it off the screen fast enough. This was a few episodes in too, I jumped to a particular favorite episode during the Kyoto Arc. It was almost like they were only given a faint outline of what the story was about & they filled in the rest. absolute trash, & I'm not saying that just because it was dubbed, there was speaking where characters were not speaking, saying/thinking things that were never said original, a total train wreck, it was like a slap in the face for someone who knows the story so well. I should have known better seeming as it was listed as Samurai X, (which is a stupid title as Kenshin was not really a samurai, he was assassin who hid in the shadows, doing wet work for other samurai). I've watched the anime & read the manga a few times, so when I saw it was on Hulu I checked it out. I love Rurouni Kenshin, it's one of my favorite series, (but I stick with the original Japanese with subtitles).
