#I originally did this on my notes & and had to transfer/reformat it onto tumblr

[robotic-bakery]

k so this's kinda long hence the cut but I decided to watch + record my thoughts on a shogun steel episode in french cause when I first did this I was bored (I specifically chose sakyo's introduction episode since there's also the wbba gang + takanosuke in this specific episode)

am I a student that is on their 2nd year of french? yes. do I plan on shutting off my brain and to not translate the episode in my head? absolutely

intro automatically slaps, naturally <3

narrator/recap voice vaguely sounds like english dub doji to me (not a negative observation, I just kinda picked up on it)

TSUBABA SOUNDS SO PRETTY?? like something you'd hear from a love interest in a romance series

also Benkei's fits super well, my beloved <3

maru & madoka also sound like their eng dub counterparts, also v much my beloveds <3

zero's voice is a tiny bit silly but he's very silly in general so it fits <3

eight's is cute too

SHINOBU AND RENS, suuuuuper fitting omg <3

Kite silly lil scientist lad <3 (again, very fitting)

zero you silly goose you <3

Shinobu's is very passionate, adds a bit of charm to it

not the focus but I'm also a fan of the voices for the background characters

OH SHIT ITS SAKYO

yea ik I'm kinda being repetitive but I'm a big fan of sakyo's voice rn

ren (again) <3

ooo takanosuke, very nice sounding voice going on rn

so far all the voices have been super good and fitting for the characters, big props

like atp, if this was my first exposure to beyblade and was told it was a french series (like specifically made in french/by a french studio), I would honestly believe it

not only do the voices sound pleasing on the ears, I'm also a fan of their speech mannerisms (idk if that's the right word, but I feel like it fits rn)

(I'm writing this at sakyo vs ren battle in the episode) I genuinely don't have anything new to say at this point it's just so good omg

ok so I kinda take back what I said about believing this was a french series if this was my first exposure to it but it very endearing I can't help but fawn over it

AKUYAEJSKENDJI??!??

Akuya caught me off guard cause of how raspy his voice is but like I've said with p much everyone else, it's very fitting so I like it

So this's the point where I'm at the end of the episode, I highly recommend watching the french dub, and it's been an overall good experience that I'm considering either watching the entire series in the french dub or maybe watching it in other languages to hear how they sound
