Mermaid Melody Fan Club

It may not be a complete loss--in the right hands, it would be great.

 

[Raiskit]

It would be better as a straight dvd release, that way they don't have to make the songs overly childish and annoying. Really as long as Hanon has a decent voice, along with everyone else I don't mind.

 

[EmeraldSky]

The previous trailer gave Hanon a decent (albeit a little annoying to me) voice

 

[Raiskit]

Yeah, I watched that. Hanon's voice is kinda annoying and irritating. Luchia is worse though, waaay to squeaky. Least to me. Kaito's voice was alright, probably could've been better.

 

[EmeraldSky]

I didn't hear Lina at all--did they even show her?

 

[Raiskit]

Nooooope! So we have no idea what voice actor they would've given her. :/ I wonder if that's a good or bad thing.

 

[EmeraldSky]

Yeah, but what they were going to dub as Super Love Songs is quite cringeworthy....

 

[Raiskit]

I haven't heard anything about what they we're going to dub the Super Love Songs, so I can't say.

 

[EmeraldSky]

Let's just say the lyrics involved "Come on, come on, come on"

 

[Raiskit]

O.o;; Really? That's ,um, old. And childish. Noooot something I would prefer. D:

 

[EmeraldSky]

I know, it made the song sound qute cheesy

 

[Raiskit]

I think that the english dub would ruin half of the show if they dubbed the songs like that. Seeing as how when I first watched it, I only wanted to for the songs. Then I slowly began to like the cast, starting with Hippo and Hanon. I was sealed once I saw Hippo as a human. <3333333

:D;

I don't think I would have liked the English dub had it happened. This is usually the case with dubbed anime, and magical girl anime especially. The anime is better off without the English. ^_^

I remember joking with a friend once, saying that they'd probably get Chuck Norris to voice Hippo. :P

 

[EmeraldSky]

Hippo sounds like an opera singer in the Italian version, and he reminds me of Meowth in Japanese (albeit a higher pitched Meowth)

Haha, yes. I've watched a few of the Italian episodes, and I have to agree with you. I liked his rendition of Dolce Melodia in one of the latter episodes. Had me lol'ing afterward. ^^

 

[EmeraldSky]

I'd take Dolce Melodia over Legend of Mermaid any day.

 

[Raiskit]

I've... watched like 0 of the Italian episodes. ^^;; Maybe I should than?

I love Hippo's voice, soooo cute!

 

[EmeraldSky]

If you know a Romance language, you'll understand a little of it. (I know Spanish, and Spanish and Italian have similar words for everything)

 

[Alakazam17]

I didn't understand too much of it, but I still enjoyed it. I was surprised to realize I understood more of the RAW Japanese than the RAW Italian, though. XD

 

[Raiskit]

Oh, yeah I know Spanish. Next time I have free time Ill be sure to try the italian version. I still need to watch the last 5 episodes too.
