I'd say jokes are translated pretty darn well.

As for AJ, I like the original voice because it had more, how do I say, energy in it? The same goes to Rainbow.

@Syd: I didn't notice any scenes that were cut, but I did notice a few places where they cut out just a second or so. Like when AJ is going to round up the bunnies and calls to Winnona, they took out a reaction shot of the dog. I remember noticing a few small things like that.

[up][up]Yeah, I miss Rainbow's scratchy voice.

I think it's less a matter of accent and more that AJ's English voice was a bit heavier. Japanese AJ sounds a bit too high-pitched. RD actually got pitched down a little, and I think it works.

AJ didn't refer herself as "imouto" in this episode, did she?

Here's what's going on in AJ's mind:

Moths = Butterflies
Butterflies = Caterpillars
Caterpillars = Earthworms
Oh, no! They've all transformed into giant, Swedish, lederhosen-clad yodelers! Run!

Yeah I find it hard to even imagine a voice that could work as well for Dash. She had such a unique and perfectly descriptive voice for her character that I liked her immediately from her first line. By the time I was through with her first scene, I was certain she would be my favorite character.

Japanese Rainbow just sounds like a pretty ordinary girl from what I can recall.

Rainbow Dash's voice is just so perfect that I never expected any superior dubbing in regards to her.

Personally, I would have liked Houko Kuwashima as RD's voice. Still not as good as the original, yes, but...

Kagura's voice for Dashie? That would have fit quite well :D

My Dashie can't possibly be this cute

In order to fit better, a little dose of Tomo would be good too; Kagura isn't boisterous enough.

Also, wow, that's...

@Syd: Ah, so it was a double mishear. That's even funnier for some reason.

So I heard something about an official start date for Season 4, is that true? It seems way to early for them to announce such a thing.

It doesn't sound like they gave Applejack a Kansai dialect, I don't think.
Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes...

@Blue - I looked up Wikipedia and it doesn't show any date yet. From the page though, I got a rather interesting bit:

Starting with Season 4, storyboarder Jim Miller (known for the voice of King Sombra) will be co-director

Hoh?

@Kyler: They didn't, and that kind of disappoints me. My best guess is that they wanted to keep all of them understandable for the target audience across the country... or something. Even though Dashie uses slang and such.
I'm 8ad, and that's good. I will never 8e good, and that's not 8ad. 8ecause there's no one I'd rather 8e... than me.

@story: Yeah, right after the bunny stampede. I went back and checked the original version because I couldn't remember if she did it there too, but in the English version she was humming some generic tune.

It's kind of a shame they didn't work some more interesting accents in :V

@d Roy: Well, now we know where Sombra went [lol]

I think I'm going to head to bed as well. Now that that thesis defense is out of the way, I can finally really relax a bit for the first time in over a month. Hope I can make the stream tomorrow.
