    well you have to remember there american actors doing the best that they can...you cant blame them for not being able to pronounce japanese names or words...although if they say sakabatou sword thats going way over the limit -_-x Saka=reverse/reversed Ba=sound change on the Kanji for ha which means edge as in a sword edge Tou=sword this kanji means sword anytype of sword aka katana wakizashi, Chisagatana etc... so by saying Sakabatou Sword your literally says reveresed edged sword sword....and thats one of my pet peeves about american Rurouni Kenshin...

    I think move the unedited version of RK onto the Mid-Night Run.

    How does that sound? Makes the most practical sense.

    well like i said earlier in this topic even if they do move it since its already been on day time TV it'll be the exact same...just like Outlaw Star you'll never see the uneditied version on Toonami...

    I know its really pethetic, bad inspiration to the new people just watching the anime.

    go here http://www.planetdvd.com.au/browse_alpha.asp?pg=135&cs=7756VUJJNYNGYNLT ,buy the DVD's and watch the Japanese version with english subs. The dub of Kenshin shown on Toonami just doesn't compare... It seems a bit too happy and at times and seems liek they want to turn it into Captain Planet XD Kenshin did have his philosophical moments in the Japanese subs as well, but they were awesome in that and in the English version it just seems like he's a kidergarten teacher preaching to kids or something, imho.

    " Dubs can only go so far." It seems almost hopeless for unedited Rurouni_Kenshin to be aired on a CN. Thought I feel 100% with your decision, it will not happen.

    it wont theres no way you get that changed...like i said with Outlaw Star since it was on day time tv first then it will be the exact same on the Adult swim so it pointless to try...

    They should keep showing the good anime on toonami instead of replacing it with retarted cartoons

    HAHAH Hitokiri Gensai you are so funny! Sure ALOT of things bother me about the dub but i watch it because of the story line sure it has words pronounced wrong and it gets really ANNOYING and theres less blood and violence...but all the same i don't feel the story has changed and thats what got me hook on Rurouni Kenshin not its hard to pronounce words for americans or its bloody fights...but its story and message...my thoughts...:)

    I understand you say it's good they introduced it to the North, but I gotta disagree. Anime is almost always messed up when they translate it. The one good thing is that they'll probably animate the last ark now, but then the stupid businessmen will have it to where they keep stretching out the storyline until it's painfully stupid just so that they can keep making money. My two little cousins run around screaming about "Baloney Kenshin" and "the legendaly loolooni", since they can't say rurouni, which is pretty cute if you ask me, but that's beside the point. ;) I spit on the American TV series! *patooi* :D


    Wow, that came from nowhere.... sorry to interrupt your conversation! Toodles! ^_^

    well technically the last arc already has been animated. besides that they may bring the movie to TV like they did for the Endless Waltz.
