Well... I have the original episode... but... I dunno... can I get time to get off my lazy butt and try? Probably. Lovely deserves a break from all the wonderful work she does... episode 27, eh...
I'll see what I can do, Lovely.

Hrm...for this episode... it wasnt too bad... some of the dialogue was changed, but that was to be expected.

An Anna and Yoh moment in this one. It makes me happy. And Faust and Eliza.

As with the original, Ren is a smarty-pants, and explains the whole transmigration idea to the group.

Umm... I don't like how Mantas computer talked... I mean... does your computer talk to you? Cause, mine dosen't.

It might just be me... but It seemed that in the original... the gang seemed to be a bit... smarter. In the dub... they ask a lot more stupid questions...
Perhaps its just my imagination, though.

Anyways, I'm out.

[Elba-cakes *coughs*]

...I liked Jeanne's voice too, I just can't tell if I'll kep liking it. It might just be the shock of hearing a normal dubbed voice. Plus my retard family was running around fighting, and my brother was screaming "I'M HONGRY!!!1" the whole time. It had a seductive-looking Marco, who got to keep his name and his gun. So I'm happy. And HONGRY.

I didn't like what Zeke said in the book though. I don't like anything Zeke says at all, really. 4kids really ruined Hao's entire character. Although seductive is accurate... There was a really good picture of him when you could see his stomach too. ^_______^

Something is bothering me about this episode, but I can't remember what it was. I'll just blame my st00pid brother for turning off the tv.

Yeah, it's skn from Shaman King Nation. This is my real screen name. My server is again having problems, so I'll post this stuff here. Dub Cuts (from what I saw)!

- Changed "Last Time on Shaman King"
- Jeanne's Voice is way to old, I don't know her VA yet
- Removed the cross from the church behind Iron Maiden
- Removed the Nazi symbol from Hao's Spirits
- Edited the Star Symbol (I thought they would get rid of it all together since it went by so fast)
- Edited out Manta's Labtop's DOS boot and Dolphin (sp?) OS logo
- 1000 Year old Hao sounded like a robot, not sure on that...
- Didn't mess up the white light training ending too much, better than the last one of these (back in the episode with Lililala).
- Removed Hao's line of "brother" at the end
- Ryu's yell at the end kinda lost meaning, as well as Ren and Bason
- The meaning of the Rock sword thingy(that King's sword or whatever) is just dumb

Personally, Chocolove's jokes weren't that bad, personally I would have liked to keep Yoh's comeback with Faust and Eliza's "sauce" with Chocolove's full plate meal.

This was the first episode I ever watched of Shaman King, so maybe it's why it's on my top 5 favorite episodes...

"Goth Rematch" is the name for Dub episode 41. Airs at it's normal time next Saturday. Don't know when I will be able to do the dubcuts, since I got an Anime Con that weekend.

Well, the dialogue changes actualy weren't that bad. I'm not really pissed about anything. Except Chocoloves chicken joke, it didn't even work, and they could have easily kept the original, because it is based on the english language. Jeans voice I did think sounded to old, she's only supposed to be what...13? But it was "angelic" in a way, so I guess that worked. One thing that made me laugh is when "Len" said "what doesn't DESTROY you, makes you stronger." Give a break, it's what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I mean, things can destroy you but you can still bounce back, you can't bounce back from death all that easily though. XD

[Shamanic Pants]

Well it was nice to see a new episode, I was rather bored with reruns that I had...already...seen... Here's what I have to say:

-How long were Faust and Eliza standing there?! Because in the Hanagumi episode before when the truck drives off, you see them, but then they sort of vanish...so when did they get back?

-1,000 year old Hao looks like Sai from Hikaru No Go. The hat, the hair, the robe...

-Chocolove had some bad jokes at the beginning. He said something that was really bad and he said "really? Because I thought it sparkled" and had a sparkly background. And I was left yelling at the screen about why Ren didn't poke him with his big spear thing. (I can not for the life of me remember what it's called) He would have deserved it.

-There was a scene near the end. You see Jeanne in her Stone casket thing, and then the face part opens and you see her face and she smiles and it closed. What was up with that? It made no sense to me.

-The scene at the end with Ryu "ruining" all the scenes by randomly showing up and screaming was very funny.

[s91/S-chan/DoomStick]

Dang this was a good eppy (even though that logo made me want to cry)

Another thing that made me want to cry was Hao speach about the book (Am I being wierd here?) XD

I like Jeanne's voice even though it's a bit too old for her if you ask me.

I laughed so hard when Ryu was randomly showing up and screaming at the end ^o^

I think Jeanne's little smileing part was because she thought Yoh was gone and after he "read the book" (if you really say he read it) she thought he might have been evil so when she thought he was dead and that Marco had killed evil. ... I guess anyway.

[resurie]

Just saw the episode...resurie is full of JOY! ^^!

4kids handled this episode incredibly well. They kept all the dialouge practically intact, there were only a few changes, usually to add some sort of comedic affect. But I'm talking about the explanation of Hao, and inside of THE BOOK! ^^!

First off...that flashback...had very weird music playing. The music is the only problem in this episode, it wasn't handled well at all. It took away the feeling the episode gave you.

Well, it seems that "Shaman only" rule is cleared up, they say something that they'll sneak Morty in with a napsack or something. o_0

Anna calling Yoh "sweetiepie" = ....Yeah...She also says "My Yoh" afterward. XD But she says that in another episode so it's all good. XD

Jeanne's voice...ok, here's the thing. It is a very good voice, the VA does a good job in my opinion. But the voice is too old sounding for Jeanne. In other words, it's a good voice, it just doesn't suit Jeanne.

I'm sorry...but 'Zeke Asakura' just sounds bad...and the fact everyone was referring him as 'Zeke' ruined the feeling...T_T And the way they pronounce 'Asakura' gives me bad Cardcaptors flashbacks...

I don't think this was in the original...dub Anna mentions that the past Asakuras mastered the Tome of the Shaman to defeat Zeke. First off, I don't believe that's true, I don't remember. Plus, if that's true, wouldn't that mean that Yoh could defeat Zeke now? o_0

I would just like to say, they explained Hao perfectly! ^^! They didn't add anything in there. It wasn't exact, but it was explained correctly. The only thing they didn't mention was when Anna said Hao had surpassed humans.

Ashil, about that other 'seduce', Marco was talking about Zeke's will.

They said something about porcupines...o_0 and then everyone was laughing, leading Trey to say "Why are we laughing dudes?" I'd like to know the same thing Trey...

I won't mention the pentagram...

I agree with Nielrian, why the hell was Morty's computer talking? o_0

Ok, now, the scene in THE BOOK. It was handled great! Dialouge-wise...

They kept the guys thinking those mean thoughts about Hao-sama. >< They even kept one saying "He's a demon disguised as a human" And...

What the hell is with 1,000 Hao's voice?? ?! His voice keeps changing! It's his normal voice first...which irked me because it sounded weird...and then it goes lower...goes back to normal...low...normal...lo--nor--...you know, like that...T_T It confused me...and Hao wasn't really mentioning to everyone what they wanted for their dream when everything was going white.

But I am happy with the dialouge! It was almost exact! They even kept Hao saying "Come with me" XD! Hmm..after Hao said that, I think Yoh (well, in spanish at least) says "Hao...". I don't know...I just loved when he said it...^^ He didn't say anything in the dub.

But the thing I hated about the scene, was the music! 4kids oficially ruined this scene with their music!! It took away the whole feeling and everything! It was annoying me up to the part where you see the nature scene, at that point, the music got better.

The dialouge between Hao and Manta, and when they all come out, it's all good. ^^ It was probably changed around a bit, but it sounded ok to me. =D

They kept Marco's name, and his angel's name, Michael. But...how does Yoh know his name? o_0 He never told them...no one told Yoh...How the hell... And what was with Yoh going "Hey Lyserg! How ya been!"? He didn't say anything to Lyserg in the original...I just felt it was out of place...

Hmm...it seems neither Yoh or Anna know what an antiquity is...maybe 4kids is trying to get kids to ask their parents? SK's gone educational! *cough*

But, the AnnaYoh scene was done really well! ^^ It wasn't messed up. Let's see...it went something like this...

Anna: Yoh...
Yoh: I know what you're going to say. (smile smile) I'm glad you're here too!

^^ Yay.

This is by far the best dub dialouge episode I've seen. =D A few things were changed, but I loved how this episode was handled.

I can't seem to get over the name 'Zeke' though...>_> Ruins everything....-__-

I'm done with my rant. XD

Hmm...about the Jeanne thing, I really don't know why she smiled, she tends to do that a lot. o_0 But my best guess would be that she knew nothing happened to Yoh and the others...and she was happy about it maybe...^^;; I don't know...

Yeah, 1,000 Hao looks like Sai. XD But Sai looks more girly. XP

Oh, did I mention Hao looks cute in this episode? =D I did? Oh well. XD

[Ghostgodzilla]

Well my reactions....

After about the third time they said Zeke I freaked out and started chanting Hao at the TV.

Heck with his powers, thoese pants are seductive. Did you see the slow pam up when he was hanging on the side of the cliff?

I can safly Faust and Eliza ship as it is cannon.

X-Laws you are jerks.

Next episode the Hanugami are back. While I like the girls I dread what they will do to poor Mari. Deppressed gothic charecters can be popular. I mean look at Raven from Teen Titans.

The 4kids TV logo makes me want to eat fuit loops and skittles.

[resurie]

Gasp! I forgot about the pants! O_O Yes! Screw his power! His pants are the source of all his greatness! XD! Oh, and I love that pan up shot on the cliff! ^^! But why is Hao so skinny...yet he has a six pack? o_0

Meh, who cares! XP All worship Hao and his pants!

*ahem* Ok...that was pointless...hmm...I also forgot to mention next episode. It has a very fun ending. >D And it has my most favorite Chocolove joke! I just hope they keep it. ><

Hah, XD That logo does make you want to eat fruity color things. XP It didn't really annoy me...only when it was in the corner during shows...it looked out of place...

[windgoddess]

Hao's voice didn't annoy me as much I thought it would. I'm really glad they left in most of his speech, hardly anything was changed. Jeane smiles at the end (in my oppinion) because they thought that Yoh might have gone to Hao's side, but when she finds out that he hasn't she's happy.

By the way, ShamanTao, who is that song by, that you use the lyrics for on your sig. I hear that song on the radio all the time, but I can't for the life of me figure out who it's by.

[Elba-cakes *coughs*]

Jeanne just smiles because she knows it makes her look cute. But right there it was probably because she found Yoh was good, and she was probably worried before that Hao had another powerful ally.

That's what I think, and appharently, I'm crazy.

*goes off to check* =D That's Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day right? Go Green Day! XD Mmm...I don't like their new CD that much though...too political...>_> Nice rythem...but still...too political sounding...

Ok, enough of that...^^; Going back on topic...we're straying off too much...XD *worships pants*

I'm going to be worshipping all week. >D

[Lovely]

The TRUE reason for Jeanne's smile! :

*The Iron Maiden's face plate opens and Jeanne's face is revealed*
Jeanne: AIR ^_^ !
*the face plate closes*
Jeanne: Daaaaamn!



DISCLAIMER: I'm kidding! I'm kidding ^o^ !

XD Ahahahaha! Good one. That could be the reason. XD

Mmm...I just remembered this...in the scene where Rio is screaming...Tokageru tells him to scream more...in the original, he tells him to shut up. ^^;

By the way Lovely, what's that red sword called in the original? In spanish they called it "Tesoro de la Nacion" (I think...) which means "Treasure of the Nation". XD I don't think that was it's original name...what is it?

[Ashil]

yeah i had a feeling that tokageru was'nt telling rio to scream more ^^;

this episode seemed to have the two best pant shots. we have lyserg in his little man shorts and hao in his awsome sk version of bondage pants. i must get me a pair of those!
