Okay I love Gintama but the English Dub for this Movie was not right for my point of view what do you guys think about it?

Gintoki and Kagura's English VA's fit very well imo, every other character....not so much.

I prefer the japanese cast but I think the english cast was fine with the exception of shinpachi.

At the beginning they all felt a little off but I quickly got used to the voices but I just couldn't handle shinpachi's voice at all

yah i think if they were to dub the series(if thats even possible) then they need to keep on chris patton as gintoki, and luci as kagura, i was ok with shinpachi's VA. but replace everyone else, especially hasagawa i cringed when i heard him

I heard that Sentai is using the movie as a way to test the water for future Gintama releases in America.So if it sells well enough,they'll continue dubbing & releasing it.

Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan.

Kagura and Gintoki are good but the rest are ok. The Dub could have used a better cast.

Should add this is not really worth the buy in my opinion based on the dub cast. Id only buy it because its Gintama movie dub and it supports sentai and it could lead to the anime being dubbed.

Luci was perfect, Chris Patton was meh and Shinpachi was cringe worthy.

Not bad really except it will take a while to get use to Shin-chan's voice it they decide to dub the TV series.

horrible, didn't even bother translating elizabeth's messages leaving holes everywhere, why did they even bother translating sama and kun but not san? the voices don't even match them, they are close but at the same time far
buy it and we'll consider dubbing gintama? no, thank you
Okay I take it back, maybe they should dub gintama, their hideous voices will make the show even funnier

Whhhaaaa? You guys liked the guy that voiced Gintoki? Granted he did a good job, but it's just not Gintoki's deep unique voice.

I didn't like how they all sounded like teenagers. most of the characters are supposed to be in their 20s. i think that they should teach the Japanese Voice Actors english. that way we don't have to worry about finding different voice actors. problem solved.

Gin-chan is not gin-chan if he's not voiced by sugita

It was okay, I think some of the translations muddled up some of the jokes so it was no where near as funny as the original/subbed version. I liked Gintoki's voice, but it was pretty much the only one I thought fit the character. Shinpachi's was okay when he wasn't screeching, but unfortunately he was screeching about 90% of the time. Original Shinpachi is way less annoying. Kagura's voice actor was okay I guess as well, I'm just so used to hearing Luci Christian's voice as she seems to do a lot of female characters voices and they all sound the same. Katsura's was just bizarre and I HATED Sougo's, Kondo's and Hijikata's voice actors, didn't sound like the originals in the slightest.The movie itself was pretty enjoyable though.

Dub was horrible. Funimation would've a done much better job.

Are you the bloody applause monkey? Keep your sh*t comments to yourself or go troll on 4chan.

And that's what I think would happen if they try the series. The benizakura hen didn't even have as much jokes as the rest of the show.

I watched the dub and immediately regretted my decision. I think it just proves that a show as amazing as Gintama can't be translated into English because the jokes just won't translate well. The references, puns, and energy isn't the same.

Which is why some American cartoons never need to be dubbed, like the Boondocks. They fucked it up big time, look for it on youtube.

Did not know they had english dub.

The Cantonese release was flawless due to the fact the same VA's for the TV dub was the same for the movie.

When the Warner Brothers show up at the end and Gintoki is like "What! Masaka! (it can't be!)" was so cringe. They didn't even bother to translate "masaka" (i think that's how you spell it)".

I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that.

It was alright. They were having fun with the dub which made me have fun as a viewer. It's not a standout around dubs but I think it's entertaining in its own right.

I dunno, I thought that was pretty funny. There's no way they didn't do it on purpose.
