who could do it better:

brad pitt
orlando bloom
johnny depp

with a twist: hugh grant
with a twist of blackness: will smith


of course christian bale would be awesome at it. if you look at his character in american psycho i think its a lot similar to spike, sans some of the mental shit.

wtf? none of those guys.. There are just some anime characters that can't be depicted in real-life and spike is one of them.

I cant watch dubbed stuff, always original language to me.

And I didnt think those voice actings were so good, you probably just got used to it.

For instance, when I was a kid I watched a ton of dubbed animes, and when I watch them original nowdays it sounds really weird.
Same with cowboy bebop, I have only watched the original, so in english it sounds soooo weird.

nonsense!

one of the few (maybe only) instances where i would say that the dub is on par if not better than the original.

Yeah.....Idk how things like this happen, but why ruin a classic. I mean isn't watanabe's style to leave stories once they are finished? Besides he was so adamant about being ' done ' with the bebop universe its weird that he's going along with this. [ I would assume hollywood needs the rights from him ]

The music, the environment, the characters, the story [ the last 2 episodes omg ] its just all seemingly impossible to translate into a real-life story. This is by far my favorite anime.

But on a side note, I have no idea why people bandwagon on the ' Keanu Reeves is a bad actor ' train. He's really not that bad of an actor. I mean sure he won't fit the role of Spike and he plays similar stoic roles in a span of movies but that doesn't mean he's a bad actor. Are you gonna say Morgan Freeman is bland because he plays the token black old guy? Or Michael Caine? Keanu is the protagonist in the Matrix. The fucking matrix, remember that.

Wat?
No dubs come close to subs.
Give me a sample. I've never heard one where i'm like, "wow this is really good and captures the same feel and tone." It's always, "WHY DO ENGLISH VOICE ACTORS SUCK."
It's like they all think they are too cool to do the job they are doing and you can hear it thus they suck at it.

I watched it in both Japanese with subs and English; I actually think the English voice actors did a better job overall. Faye sounds like a school girl in the Japanese version; The english voice actress seems to give a more mature vibe. Oh, and the guy who voices Spike is one the best English voice actors around; I can't remember his name right now; but he's in quite a few english dubs.




Also, Keanu is fine to work with Kong-Fu; he was in the Matrix after all, and those fight scenes were quite nice looking. I'm actually optimistic about this production; I can't really say its going to be epic fail like dragoonball is destined to be quite yet. We'll see in time.

Morgan Freeman doesnt just play the token black guy what the fuck! Michael Caine isnt a one role actor either. You just took two of the best actors of all time and put them in the same boat as a shitty ass role actor. Sure Keanu does a good job of being quite and shooting a gun but for the love of God please dont put him in the same group as people like that, its shameful.
