[Birkin]

[The Space Cowboy]

You must post intro/outro youtube links here. That will be win

[Razor Ramon HG]

LMAO! I can't see the characters yelling BACHAO BACHAO!

lol, reminds me of watching spider man in hindi

[nagareboshi]

Oo, when's it start?
That could be..interesting to see. ;D

I'm going to India in a few weeks... :3
Lets hope teh hotel has a tv! :kukuku

[Phoenix Wright]

Er, does Animax even dub shows in Hindi? My Dish TV connection has Animax in English-only mode.

Either way, it's going to be fun getting my friends to watch Bleach. Tried that with One Piece on CN and I got flamed.

[Mukuro]

LMAO! I can't see the characters yelling BACHAO BACHAO!

lol, reminds me of watching spider man in hindiAny youtube clips of that?

[superman_1]

this is gonna be hilarious... never seen an anime dubbed in hindi before... hmmm makes me have doubts if kids even watch anime in india... or how much its popularity is... mein "yamraj" hoo.... meri talwar ki atma ka naam zangetsu hai... lol...too funny... will check it out on youtube if someone puts it up...

[Ishin Shishi]

I'd be surprised if they dubbed it. It's been a while, but I haven't seen any show on Animax dubbed in Hindi. Anyway, I don't really see what's so funny about a Hindi dub. Most English dubs are about as embarrassing as it can get.

Most Hindi dubs are pretty bad, but I have seen some good ones. Like Spongebob Squarepants.

[kimidoll]

I think I saw a Hindi-dub of DBZ once at my grandma's house, it totally sucked -.-"

I guess I'll go to India again this summer to see the Hindi dub of Bleach :P

[Ishin Shishi]

Much like the English dub.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Any youtube clips of that?

lol I actually found it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFS-zyu4byk

The rest of the parts are there too

[Utz]

Wow all of you speak Hindi? O.O

Kya bhaat hai

P.S. that's awesome that it's going to India. Pretty quickly too considering it's only roughly 6 months old in the USA. Thx for the news!

[Ishin Shishi]

Funny... but that's not Hindi, it's Gujranwala Punjabi. It's spoken in Pakistan, not India.

[Mukuro]

[Win Z]

Well, actually it depends on your cable connection whether you get Animax in english or hindi, but I think that with Dish Tv and all, its in in english.

AN ya, the DBZ dub sucked pretty bad...but the surprising thing is that they are bringing Bleach so early! and no Naruto!!

[Mat®icha]

it's good to see bleach is spreading. i hope some day it'll come to my country too.

[superman_1]

just saw the clip on youtube... desi spiderman... but the language isnt hindi... punjabi and urdu kinda mixed.... anyways... it was hilarious... some of the funniest thing i heard... esp. norman osbourne and his son... lol... murli, baboo, etc...lol

[kimidoll]

Wow all of you speak Hindi? O.O

Not really, but I learned some thanks to Bollywood :sweat

[Ishin Shishi]

@Win Z - Did you say One Piece also made it to India? If so, how long ago did it start? Also, have any good shows been added to Animax in the past year or two?

[ssjasper2003]

Too bad my cousins didnt have animax when I went in the summer.

Used to watch that soap kaun saas bhi bahu thi or something like that with bahu in it.

I saw some old ass stuff in dub like talesspin lol. Oh god that was horrible. They can pull it off if they can cast good voice actors otherwise itll be annoying to hear hindi from a 35 year old guy pretending to be 16.

[Kraker2k]

LOL I'd love to see this....

Its like the Pokemon intro song in hindi was so hillarious to listen to.

Hur Pokemon ki shakhti hai khaas.
Jis se muj ko hai samajnaa.

Pokemon!
karne hai dosti..

lol...when is it starting?smile-big

[Razor Ramon HG]

Wow all of you speak Hindi? O.O

Lol not really, I'm Bengali, I only recognize Hindi.

[swamped]

Bleach in hindi? OMG, I just HAVE to see that!
I didn't know anime even existed in India...

[lalo81]

well it is sound interesting...
but i fear that it might not be hit as animax is not as widely seen as cartoon network or disney toons...neither animax is that much popular....
i wish bleach, naruto and one piece will make appearance on cartoon ntwr .....

and about hindi dubs...well it will never make a slight a difference in India as most of viewers dont speak, understand or gonna watch English or Japanese version... so basically no comparisons.....and it will be certainly big hit if any one of them will make it on CN...
i am looking forward for naruto as CN india missed the bleach, they will certainly try for naruto or one piece....

edit- i just checked animax site...there is nothing about bleach...

@Win Z - Did you say One Piece also made it to India? If so, how long ago did it start? Also, have any good shows been added to Animax in the past year or two?

yup. One Piece was on around last year in India. I heard they showed only the 1st season or something. (wasn't there myself but got information from my bro).

Animax shows FMA, Cowboy bebop, Inuyasha...so they got some good taste in anime@!

Its not been put up yet on the Animax site but you can see the ad on TV.

Wow... that's pretty cool. I remember being really shocked when Animax first hit the airwaves. An all-anime channel? In India? When it first aired there were no ads at all... except for some ultra-lame Animax promos by Irfan Pathan (lawl). What a strange, strange choice for an endorsee that was. Half the shows were total stinkers then, but they did have many good ones.

Anyway, even if One Piece made it to India, it has no chance of succeeding with the 4Kids dub.

[superman_1]

i m gujarati but i know hindi as well since i used to live in bombay and thats wat i used to speak in with my friends but then i moved to canada 10 years ago... anyways anime has been in india for quite some time ... i remember watching dragonball long time ago when i was a very small kid cuz i still have a vague memory of seeing little goku and stuff... used to watch transformers as well ... i remember those shows used to come at 6am in morning and i would get up early morning trying to watch all while everyone were sleeping.... hehehehehehe .....its surprising that young ppl in india actually watch anime cuz everyone of my cousins i talked to dont watch it or never heard of it....lol

yepp in India animation = cartoons = only for kids...
not only adults but also teenagers are not interested at all....
thats why animax is not so popular bcoz it mainly targets teenagers - not kids

Dragon Ball was aired that long ago?! Do you remember which channel? Damn, I can't believe I missed that. I remember watching the reruns in Japan though.

India has seen quite a few animes even before Animax. If you were a fan like I was, you could find it. Some animes from way back:
Ghostsweeper Mikami
Ninku
Grander Musashi
You're Under Arrest
Robotech (ah... brings back memories)
Ninja Robots (this one never made it to the West)

...and of course there were the ones on CN. Cardcaptor Sakura, DBZ, Pokemon, Digimon... etc

EDIT - Can't forget the total classic, Giant Robo!

[Kraker2k]

Hey, Im gujerati too....though I've always lived in England.... Never thought I'd meet a gujerati speaking person on an anime forum...

[Birkin]

Much like the English dub.

DBZ is the best dubbed show out there so.... shoo >.>

[lo-blo]

Norman Osbourne in the Punjabi dub of Spiderman is made of win. :rofl

:wtf

I didn't even know anime dubs existed in India! How exciting!

The extent of my Hindi is the typical pyaar, ishq, mohabbat, etc. that I've learned thanks to Bollywood. :love

I do, however, speak a language that most non-Indian (and probably some Indian) people have never heard of--Malayalam. :P

If anyone here has heard of Malayalam, I'll freak.

If anyone here speaks Malayalam, I'll go into cardiac arrest. O__O

dude...here in Dubai,lots of Indians are from Kerala and thus they speak Malyalam. I can't really understand it (coz being from Delhi) but have some friends who do!

Anyway people, I found out some promos of Animax India on youtube (not the Bleach ones...just some general stuff) :

Check these out....pretty cool na! :nuts

[Shinji]

Thats pretty to cool to see Bleach spreading.

I don't speak any Indian language (I'm Filipino), but I've read about it somewhere. Isn't it related to Tamil?

Anime in India eh? Interesting!

If you appreciate dubs that have constant changes in the voice cast, overt jingoism, and unabashed disrespect for the source material, then yeah, DBZ was one heck of a dub.

@Lotus Blossom - Whachu talkin' about?? Mallus are notorious for inhabiting any and every place known to mankind! smile-big

EDIT - Did you know that the word "Malayalam" is a palindrome? :p

[lo-blo]

:wtf

Yes, Tamil (http://www.ancientscripts.com/images/tamil.gif) and Malayalam (http://www.ancientscripts.com/images/malayalam.gif) are actually very similar. The written characters look very similar, and the two languages sound similar when spoken too.

Ooh, this is so exciting! I thought Indian anime fans were a rare species XD

They changed crew once
Disrespect? Care to explain?

I dare you to name one dub that is better? Yu Yu Hakusho is up there but not quite as good. I dare you to name a better dub ;p

[Ishin Shishi]

They changed crew once
First of all, no, they didn’t change just once. Secondly, if by “once” you meant one actor was changed one time, then that would be okay. However, if they change voice actors at different episodes with no rhyme of reason, then that’s a huge, HUGE problem for me. It annoyed me to no end when Kuririn’s and King Kai’s (North Kaio’s) new voice actors tried their best to imitate the previous ones. It’s not so bad when you replace VA’s whose roles require them to speak fairly normally (e.g. Goku,) but it’s a HUGE problem when you replace VA’s who have thus far doused their performances with copious amounts of idiosyncrasies which cannot be convincingly mimicked. Also, it really sucked when Freeza’a VA (who was fantastic and the only saving grace of this pathetic dub) was replaced with a far less talented VA. Not to mention several other cast changes. It blows my mind that you consider this to be a good dub. But that’s to be expected from a person who decides I’m an OPtard and reprimands me because I found bountiful hilarity in his preference of a friend’s at-VERY-best mediocre drawing over a Tezuka award winning mangaka’s work. Bravo, indeed. *thumbs up*

Disrespect? Care to explain?
I wouldn’t know where to start, so I’m just gonna c&p an extract from wikipedia which mirrors my thoughts on this issue:

“…people have taken issue with changes in the English edition that are not seen as necessary, such as extraneous dialogue not found in the original, dubbing that sways the English version in its own creative direction, the replacement of the entire original musical score, and renaming of many characters, terminology, and locations. Combined with criticized voice acting, many feel that the English version of Dragon Ball Z almost seems like an entirely different show than the original…”

I dare you to name one dub that is better? Yu Yu Hakusho is up there but not quite as good. I dare you to name a better dub ;p
Sure. There are tons of dubs that I consider to be better than DBZ, but I’ll just list the ones I consider to be very good: FLCL, Spirited Away, Mononoke Hime, Howl’s Moving Castle, You’re Under Arrest, Cowboy Bebop, Excel Saga…

Yu Yu Hakusho’s dub, while not great by any means, IMO definitely beats the DBZ dub. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least tickled by Christopher Sabat’s adaptation of Kuwabara.

[kimidoll]

I thought Indian anime fans were a rare species

XD Me and my other Indian friend are obsessed

[lo-blo]

My brother, sister, and I are all Indian anime freaks! XD But I don't know of any other Indian anime fans/freaks other than those on NF :rofl

[swamped]

Lotus Blossom, are you from Kerala? Wow, I guess that makes us neighbours then...Im from Karnataka!

[Birkin]

Several voice actors
Now, what I meant was, most, if not all changed their voice actors after the Frieza saga. And to be frank, I had no problem with it, sure I missed the old Vegeta voice, but the new one is better suited for later purposes.

But that’s to be expected from a person who decides I’m an OPtard and reprimands me because I found bountiful hilarity in his preference of a friend’s at-VERY-best mediocre drawing over a Tezuka award winning mangaka’s work. Bravo, indeed. *thumbs up*

I have to be honest, she was 13 at the time and she drew it without having any picture to look at. I preferr that art style more than the OP one, where they include Pinnochio -.-

I've always said that most dubs shouldn't be allowed (Like Naruto which I simply can't stand, no offense VA's) But DBZ on the other hand, has so much influence and life in them that they are simply more enjoyable to watch. And besides, the original DBZ had high-pitches voices, which wasn't to my liking.

This... is a matter of opinion, I don't think those are even close to DBZ's dub.

[Moogoogaipan]

Kinda wished some of the Indian dubs were in Urdu. Then i would be able to understand them.

[Ishin Shishi]

This... is a matter of opinion, I don't think those are even close to DBZ's dub.
Fine. I listed animes that are widely considered to be very good dubs, and I also pointed out that DBZ is widely considered to be a poor dub. You have not made one solid argument while I have made several. "Nu-uh" is not an argument. I will not be taking any of your posts seriously henceforth. Have a good day.
Kinda wished some of the Indian dubs were in Urdu. Then i would be able to understand them.
Hey, any Urdu speaker should be able to understand a lot of Hindi pretty easily.

[lo-blo]

Lotus Blossom, are you from Kerala? Wow, I guess that makes us neighbours then...Im from Karnataka!

:wtf :glomp

My parents actually immigrated to NY from Kerala, so yes! Oh my goodness, this is so exciting! Karnataka is directly north of Kerala, right? Cool! It's very nice to meet you, swamped! :hug

[kimidoll]

I'm from Andhra pradesh :P Yep, I'm Telugu

[lo-blo]

:wtf

So much South Indian love! :woo

Nice to meet you, Kimi! :hug

[kimidoll]

South India pwns! -lame, i know :P-

Nice to meet you too Lotus Blossom ^.^ Mind if I call you that? I can't type your username with my keyboard :S

This thread has definitly made me relize that there's more Indian fans on here xD

[Ennoea]

I remember the Thundercats in Hindi. It was amazing yet really bad.

[Ishin Shishi]

Hahahaha... yeah, Thudercats was awesome. For a hilarious Thundercats parody, Click here. (http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/505.html)

[lo-blo]

No, I don't mind at all, Kimi! :amuse I understand--I always just keep my account logged-in so I won't have to find, copy, and paste my username from one of my posts XD

I've been thinking of changing my username to just Lotus Blossom (which it was for a little while), lotus blossom, or maybe ℓotus blossom, but I've become kinda attached to ℓø†μ5 Бℓø55øm. Not to mention that I can't go into the Member Name Change Service, because certain threads load to a blank page for me >__<

Much love to the Indian fans of anime around the world! :amuse

[kimidoll]

^You can PM occa or Reznor though for a name change though ^^

[lo-blo]

Hmm, maybe I will! *ponders* Thanks for the suggestion, Kimi~ :amuse

By the by, I really like your Gin sig! :wtf Did you make that?

[Phoenix Wright]

I'm from Andhra pradesh :P Yep, I'm Telugu

Er.. Telugu here too, though residing in Mumbai currently. Nice to meet y'all.

Back to discussion, though. :P

To me, dubs are a waste of time. The reasoning is like why I don't like ketchup, it takes from you the original taste of whatever it is you're eating.

Something like that, yeah.

[kimidoll]

Hmm, maybe I will! *ponders* Thanks for the suggestion, Kimi~ :amuse

By the by, I really like your Gin sig! :wtf Did you make that?

I can't draw for my life XD I got it from a Japanese site :3

[t0rn]

Kinda wished some of the Indian dubs were in Urdu. Then i would be able to understand them.

Haha, yeah.

[natwel]

wow india, I always saw it as a poor country even when there are doctors there and all. I wonder if they have comic book shops and conventions in india.

[Jaggerjack]

Bleach in INDIA!

Urahara's all like

"Get the park outta my store you parking park head!"

lol jk jk

[meenmu]

Hmm... I remember seeing an animax channel when I went to Bangladesh and Singapore. The only anime I saw on there was Saber Marionette and maybe a few others... Of course, I could be thinking of something else... :huh Forget it, I'm confusing myself. Anyways, congrats to all who get Animax and are happy to see Bleach airing on it. :amuse
