@@weebshow3150 that's *in general.* There are some pretty good voice dubs, and occasionally the eng dub does better than the original if they get some freedom and fun to act. They so have voice actors' much more recognition and better teaching for it.
@@bethanydavis9023 English VA lack of acting ability and voice appeal is a fucking fact. They are acting without direction from the Japanese stuff and sound directors. There is absolutely no work where the English dubbing is more successful than the original Japanese dubbing. (but flcl eng dub was still better)
@@weebshow3150 You can't just call your opinion a "fact", you elitist. It's clear to hear that Metabee's VA is having a fun time, and devaluing his effort cuz "he speaks english" is pathetic.
I kind of love how this takes the piss out of the whole toy fighting anime by having the item of the show not taking any of the kids crap unless it is absolutely necessary
"I'll show them agony of DA FEET (defeat). And the hands and the face." Medabots has the funniest, pun-filled dialogue of any anime I have ever come across. And then there's Medabee's voice actor...BRUH!!
Sadly, the second season kind of soiled a lot of things that made the show fun, namely dropping a lot of characters such as Koji, Karin I think, and Mr. Referee. Plus, the whole transformation angle and dumping the lore about the medaforce didn’t help much. It’s a real shame, too, because the games continued all the way into the 3DS. It was just never localized to America. There was even a new mobile game about five years ago or so. Again, still only in japan.
@@SavagewolverS2 in general was absolute cringe. Nowhere near as humorous, too serious, antagonist is a cheating tryhard crybaby, writing was god awful at times, man I hated it so much. S1 was peak.
What a personality English meta-bee had. Literally gold from my childhood. I’m glad I can come back to this as an adult and appreciate him so much more.
@@limelightmoon They're talking about having a black voice actor for Metabee, and making connections to slavery. Because some people can't mention anything involving a black person without relating it back to slavery.
@@Skyfighter64I'd not have realized the VA was black until OP commented about it lol, some people just let racism out between their lines, y'all gotta make slavery the only identity black people can have apparently
Yep and he voices the french fry robot named Spud Muffin from the new Transformers cartoon about everyday objects and foods that turn into robots called Botbots :)
yup that air order was just horrid. i had to save and reorder everything properly. i sadly had to keep the roborobo introduction episode later on because it was poorly translated and everyone already knew who they were.
25:55 Ikki: Rules of the road, pal! Green means go! (tries to drag Metabee away) Metabee: (Imitates screeching tire noise and anchors self) I'm Yellow! Slow down! Ikki: I'm Red, but I ain't stoppin! (Yanks Metabee along) 43:43 - "If you let rage be your medafighter, you'll only destroy yourself!" - Surprisingly wise words from the otherwise way-too-cocky Metabee. :V 44:01 Ikki: AND ROKUSHO BLEW METABEE AWAY IN ONE SHOT! Metabee: Ikki, PLEASE! People will HEAR, man!
@@bradnimbus4836 S'all good! It's like the equivalent of a dog medabot going "woof woof". You'll also notice that Metabee acts like a beetle in other ways; he likes to hang out in trees and high places and he also likes melons and some fruit (this is something like how monkeys are identified with bananas). Glad I could help!
I just finished the anime for the very first time a few minutes ago. I plan on coming back to this video a lot when I need a good laugh. I loved this series so much! 💙
Metabee : [as Ikki repairs him] Settings. General settings. Security settings. Metabee : Honesty, new setting: ninety-five percent. Metabee : Confirmed. Additional settings. Ikki : Humor, seventy-five percent. Metabee : Confirmed. Self destruct sequence in T minus 10, 9... Ikki : Let's make that sixty percent. Metabee : Sixty percent, confirmed. GIGIGGGGGGAGGGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGAH!!! Ikki : You want fifty-five?
