Funny because I clearly hear Horo in the anime.

Japanese can't say L words
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;18710289]It's her official name. But you can deny it how much you want[/QUOTE]
I disagree considering the L sound simply doesn't exist in Japanese. Their R sound has a tongue flick similar to our L, but that doesn't make it an L, it makes it an R with a tongue flick.
[QUOTE=KStyleAzure;18710344]Japanese can't say L words[/QUOTE]
It's "ru" in japanese
amirite
Excuse me sir, can I borrow your 'righter?
So 'lost' would be something like 'ru'ost in Japanese? :raise:

In season two, when she signed under a contract, she wrote Holo.
deeerp.
I was in denial before i saw that too.
Horo is hot.

Yes, but as much as it may be spelled "Holo", in Japanese it would still be pronounced "Horo."

yeah but the people in the dub aren't speaking Japanese now are they
I'm going to watch Spice and Wolf because Horo is hot.
Read the first chapter of the manga then forgot all about it. Maybe I should continue
She has that mature sexual hotness, yknow?
She's so hot.
Plus the animal getup intensifies it.
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;18710586]yeah but the people in the dub aren't speaking Japanese now are they[/QUOTE]
They should because then it wouldn't sound so fucking terrible.
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;18710586]yeah but the people in the dub aren't speaking Japanese now are they[/QUOTE]
No they aren't, but you don't change the pronunciation of names across languages, i.e. my last name is Kasper, but even if I was speaking fluent Japanese to someone in Japan, I would still say "Kasper" not "Kasuperu."
I should get around to watching Spice and Wolf. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really interested in it.

So, by your reason, in the FMA dub, he would be called Edowado and not Edward?
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;18710833]So, by your reason, in the FMA dub, he would be called Edowado and not Edward?[/QUOTE]
No, Edward is an English name. Horo is not.
Holo sounds stupid. End of story. I don't give a shit how it's spelled it's the way it's pronounced that matters.

Rate me dumb all you want, it's not gonna change the truth.
Well I finished re-watching Gurren Lagann and all I have to say is this:

I'm rating you dumb because you say a dub is bad because a single name.

It is.

yeah only a true japanese person could only voice me animay or i would dieeeeeee
The original is almost always better. This is a fact.
[editline]02:57AM[/editline]
You can enjoy your shitty dubs with bad translations, incorrect pronunciation, and crappy voice actors who can covey emotions about as well as a dish cloth.

Ok, to be fair this is one of the better dubs but one bad aspect can drag the whole thing down. IE a stupid name.
It's the same reason I have a hard time re-watching Ah! My Goddess! because Belldandy's (ugh) name is so dumb sounding and ear grating. It doesn't help that everybody says it all the fucking time! Seriously, every time I hear that name I wanna break one of my fingers.
I have the exact same feeling about this Spice & Wolf dub.
Voice acting: Better than most
Name choice: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

I have a very hard time ignoring things that annoy and piss me off.

Would be better if her name was Verdandi in the dub, yeah.
