I was gonna say, it's not so much the tone of the voice as the emotion behind it. What makes Tanjiro's voice work is that his Seiyuu throws a ton of emotion into it to cover his wide range of moods. Based off of an admittedly brief snippet of the video, the English VA by contrast doesn't convey that level of emotion in the lines.

I'm usually (overly) critical of dubs, but that sounded completely fine to me.

This sounds like the typical kneejerk reaction of "It's not what I'm used to therefore bad". A few seconds is hardly enough to judge the dub. Zach Aguilar (the guy voicing Tanjirou) has done plenty of good work before.

Dub sounds... fine-ish? Not a fan, but then I'm usually not a fan of dubs anyway.

The only dub I can remember liking more than the sub version is Dragon Ball. I still like both, but if I had to pick which one to watch, I'd go with the dub almost every time.

Look the sad truth of the matter is that the three main leads they chose for the sub knocked it out of the park. Particularly Tanjiro and Inosuke. The chances they were going to find someone just as good in a short amount of time for the dub were slim. The three main leads have such a range of emotions and the VAs kicked ass doing it.

Notice how Giyu sounds mostly fine because his whole shtick is cold and monotone. There's only rare occasions the dub beats the sub for many.

He doesn't sound like a goody two shoes



Great dub > Subbed > Dub

Those are the rules, I didn't make them, it's just how it is
I can agree with this. I generally prefer subbed, but when a dub works it just works.

DBZ, and Yu Yu Hakusho in particular stand out to me as far and away some of the best dub work.

So I watched the dub trailer and making a hasty judgement that I don't think I like the protagonists voice. Might just have to stick with the sub until impressions come in.

it's hasty and I feel we need to give it a chance. I am someone who has seen plenty of anime both dubbed and subbed and while I tend to favor subs, I can't stand the purists who are 'subs only all dubs are trash'.

Just saw the english dub trailer. I usually don't mind dubs but Tanjiro sounds bad- like someone who is trying to act but kind of failing.

Really curious about my Zenitsus arc. Surely he can't be as insufferable as he is during s1. I know he's capable of being a badass.

Inosuke sounds pretty bad but then again I'm not surprised after hearing Tanjiro.

Giyu sounds great ofc and Zenitsu's VA sounds solid.

Holy shit, that Inosuke sounds horrible. He's way too high pitched, just awful.

Just wait till we get to hear Zenitsu screaming. Hoo boy, I'm glad I don't put up with dubs.

I just binged the first 20 episodes of this show and goddamn it's amazing. Spider Demon Mountain is as epic as Yorknew or Return to Shiganshina. Didn't expect the show to get so gory but it only adds to the intensity. And the soundtrack is top notch. Can't wait to finish the season but I don't want it to be over!
