Long ago, there used to be many dubbing companies other than the notorious Saturn which is ruinning anime in my opinion like Joseph Samaan's in Lebanon and the visual and audible foundation in Kuwait and they did a great job but now, I hate to watch anime dubbed in Arabic because of Saturn's dubbings for many reasons. What's your opinion on this?

Do you agree with censorship in Arabic dubbed anime?
Do you know other companies than Saturn?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I totally AGREE...I dont remeber watching an anime dupped in arabic and was good

I remember watching arabic one piece last month and it was hilarious (not the show..the dupping)

I think the bad translation and voice cast is the main reason fot that

I saw some of the latest arabic dubbed animes like Naruto, Gankoutsou etc. and it was horrible :P

The dubbing of the old animes were really great though, especially some beautiful arabic opening songs to many animes, the did change/cut some stuff in the animes though since children were watching also, like Lady Georgie, Rose of Versailles and some others.

I'd rather watching a raw Jap dub than Arb dub

the actors r sooooooo silley and not in the mood. sometime, I wich kill myself when I watching a one

however, I completely agree with censorship. I can't imagine playing an anime in arabic channels without it

i agree MOSTLY.Rose of Versailles was amazing in arabic, hunter x hunter was good, hell even digimon and pokemon weren't bad. BUT, recently every dubbed is so bad that i want to puke when watching. Not only in arabic, even in english. The only english dub that i enjoyed were cowboy bebop and samurai x. Other than those two dubbed failed me so bad that i swore never to watch dub again.

I think the English dubbing for Samurai X wasn't good as well because voice actors didn't know how to read the names.

It was only good to watch anime dubbed in arabic long back:p, when access to media wasn't as easy and convenient as now, and when internet was non-existent :p
Basically when we had not much of a choice haha.

However now, with all the availability of the p2p and sub groups, i see no point in dubbing in arabic anymore since im sure most ppl would rather have the arabic subs rather than some weird arabic dub:p

Have to admit though, i literally can't imagine myself watching a new season of Captain Majid (tsubasa) for example with anything other than arabic dubs!:P some just grow on u haha

I agree with you on that point. The voice actors failed miserably in pronouncing names in Samurai-X. Still it managed to be best selling in the US back in the days and i liked. Cowboy bebop is a different issue. I haven't watched the japanese version of it yet and since its one of my favorites I would say they did a pretty good job. Back to arabic dubbing, I would never watch captin majid in japanese, that would kill it for me!

Yes I prefer watching subbed over dubbed anytime, but some arabic dubbed animes managed to hook me up. For example Hunter X Hunter. I obviously didn't keep up with the arabic dubbed version and watched the original but the arabic version wasn't bad.

I wouldn't dare to watch new anime dubbed. They're showing lots of post 2004 cartoons on Space Power now and about 90% of dialougs in those shows are not accuate.

The people's image also improved dramatically in the eyes of Arabs with those awe-inspiring pro-Palestine rallies during the time of the Gaza assault.

Urjuan, I couldn't think of something artsy so I went with a videogame...

I love Fairouz's works specially the ones done by her son Ziad. He's the one who invented the Arabic Jazz genre.
I also listen to none-mainstream Lebanese songs such as Marcel Khalife and Omayma and 7aneen.

BTW, I was reading raws the other day and I've come to a conclusion that the majority of mangakas portray Arab guys as flirtacious. Do you agree?

FO SHOO it's a big nay for me (except for old animes) .. after Pokemon problem (I think you know that one it was about misty and stuff that makes Kids believe in Pokemons, .. etc) everything started to get worse .. I believe that the animes they dubed them now .. they just took only the half of the whole episode (like WTH O_O).. Just Watching Naruto Arab Dub can be a big prof .. (_ _ """) ... Watching animes in their original version is much better now ..

I like the dubbing for older anime, like captain majed, lady lady, sally,...etc.

Now they don't put that much effort into producing high quality dubbing. Not to mention, having dubbing with each countries accent instead of formal Arabic just ruins it for me.

I dont like arab dubbing but I think it's definitely better than english dubs. English dubs sort of annoy me. The only arab dubs I seriously hate are the fandubs, they turn everything to comedy.

nowadays dubs, you hear an adult sound from a 5-yr kiddo O_O
even they cutout the background music and effects. <<< can't stand them
Yeah it's a horror story!

old days, you notice there hard work and effort,, the sound fits the character and the background music and effects are re-produced .


so you judge!

Arabic Dubbing was SUPER AWESOME!! I loved it more than the English dubbing! WAY MORE!! But Japanese is always good, I think Arabic and Japanese are both as cool (English sucks, so fake) --- I miss my childhood lol

I agree, I hate Turkish drama for taking away the arabic dubbing of anime!
So sad. :')

Nay , i agree with the fact that the quality of arabic dubs have degraded over the years (though it may have always been bad and i was too young to notice), and the censorship kinda provokes me. Anyway i'll always prefer to hear the original voice acting .
