I just saw my first complete episode of NT Warrior Axess. My sister taped the premiere thingummy they had a while back of the first episode, but she missed the first five minutes or so. Thus, I was spared the atrocity that is the new theme "song." Note to the composer: That is not music. That is noises put into a blender, masquerading as music. It's almost worse than the original NT Warrior theme, which was pretty godawful. I'll take "Futatsui no Mirai" any day over that.

Anyway. The episode I saw was #3, Bubbleman's introduction. I like how they pretty much cut out the whole "exploding toilet" part of Bubbleman's plan but kept in the end, "Do you think it's safe?" scene. Yay inconsistent censoring.


• I really like Mr. Famous' British accent. Too bad that they don't seem to be including a running gag to replace the "San wa iranai."
• Bubbleman's voice seemed to really fit well. The random, bad poetry was a nice touch.
• Mega Man still sounds like a Ninja Turtle.
• Froid (or whatever they're calling him in NT Warrior) sounds younger than Lan and Mega Man. The dub voice actually matches the original fairly well, but since Lan and Mega Man have voices that are so much deeper than Netto and Rockman, the character sounds younger in comparison.
• There's still quite a bit of "Oh no, nobody's talking for a full second and a half! We must add dialogue!" going on with the dub. Ditto the "captain obvious" type remarks. We can see just fine that the Cross-Fusion armor is failing. We don't need Mega Man to point that out to us. The shot is a nice, centered close-up on it for a reason.
• On the plus side, when Lan's wearing the Cross-Fusion facemask, he actually sounds like he's wearing something over his face, while Netto sounds exactly the same.
• What the heck was Chisao doing on a 6th grade fieldtrip anyway?

...You know, I always wondered what Chisao was doing there...

I've seen all of 60 seconds of the Japanese version of NT, so I don't really know what I'm missing out on. *sad* You mention a Japanses theme song, Futatsui no Mirai. Know where I might find it? I love collecting Rockman music! ^_^ Going on two hours worth of Rockman music in my collection. *grins*

I honestly don't remember where I found it. I think I might have gotten it off of a file-sharing service or something. If you want, I could send it to you.

You should totally check out the original Japanese version of the cartoon if you can see it. NT Warrior was pretty heavily edited from the original. Not only are the voices different, but scenes had to be cut or altered for censoring reasons and because commercial breaks in the US are longer than in Japan. Wolfpack Productions (http://wpp-fansubs.com) is the place to go for fansubbed episodes.

Aww... WOULD you send it to me? I'd love you so much for it! ^_^ My e-mail address is brook_tamlin@yahoo.com

I'm very familiar with America's penchant for editing when dubbing. *sighs* No anime is safe from it. It's the reason I prefer to watch my anime in Japanese. Well, one reason, anyway. I also like the generally superior voice acting. ^_^ Unfortunately, I have no money and no job right now and can't afford to buy anime on DVD. I don't even have cable. All I get in the way of anime is whatever WB decides to grace me with (thank goodness they show Megaman!) and whatever I get to see in the anime club I go to roughly once a week.
