You want Japanese speaking ponies?  You're gonna get them!

TV Tokyo has confirmed that there will be an actual Japanese Dub for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, complete with 52 episodes worth of ponies (all of season 1 and 2) starting April this year.

 

Here's the stuff we do know about the dub, along with the franchise itself:

 

  • Japanese Title is マイリトルポニー:トモダチは魔法 (Mai Ritoru Ponii: Tomodachi wa Mahou "My Little Pony: Friendship is magic", although it's closer to "Friends are magic")
  • The Japanese Dub is unique as TV Tokyo will air two versions for each episode: One fully dubbed, the other in the original English.  This is an attempt to encourage learning English as well as friendship.
  • Four Japanese voice actresses, or seiyuu, have been confirmed.  Interestingly, all four are the seiyuu for a popular media franchise called Tantei Opera Milky Holmes.  Twilight's an Fluttershy's wil be revealed later.
  1. Applejack - Sora Tokui
  2. Rarity - Mikoi Sasaki
  3. Pinkie Pie - Suzuko Mimori
  4. Rainbow Dash - Izumi Kitta
  • The toy line will be targeted for younger girls, while there will be other forms of merchandising for older audiences, including a dedicated magazine.

It's not complete yet, but there is a website made specifically for the Japanese Dub.

from experience I know how terrible every single dub is up and till now. japan won't be any different I am afraid... here in the netherlands all the ponies sound like they have the same voice. it's so annoying.

Over the years there's been a tendency for Japanese anime to get heavily edited with a lot of censorship and cuts in order to make it "more appropriate" for children's television.

I ask this half-seriously and half-jokingly, but do you think that they will add things into this dub in order to essentially "un-censor" things that weren't there in the first place?

As some of you have already read by now, the cast for some of the voices in japanese has been revealed:

 

Suzuko Mimori (Pinkie Pie)
Sora Tokui (Applejack)
Mikoi Sasaki ( Rarity)
Izumi Kitta (Rainbow Dash)
Miyuki Sawashiro (Twilight Sparkle)
Emiri Kato (Fluttershy)
Motoko Kumai (Spike)
Kikuko Inoue (Celestia)

 

Yes, Fluttershy is now making contracts with little girls.

Celestia is now worse than molestia

Twilight is now even more powerful than twilicorn.

 

Just look at the Stephen's face.

Relax, those costumes were only for the private press conference, even though Japanese fans are already teasing them for using such bizarre outfits.  If anything, Bushi Road's experience gained from their most recently popular anime, Cardfight!! Vanguard, should be helpful in dubbing the show.

Plus, the necrobump may be appropriate as more news comes in and it starts up instead of making a whole 'nother thread. It depends on how you look at it.

I am entitled to my opinion. and this opinion is, it sounds incredibly annoying. I wouldn't watch it for even 5 minutes.  I can personally put this in the mind file of rejected dubs.

 

also ossy, if you wan't to see the dutch version (I am 90% sure that atleast 5 of the mane6 have been voiced by the same women) just search in youtube.

This thread really brought out the weeaboo and the ignorant in all of us. I don't see why you would feel obligated to have to watch this in Japanese, is there some stupid brony checklist somewhere I don't know about that says "You are not a real brony until you have watched every other countries shitty dub" or something?

 

Also that Italian opening sounded like a RUSH song at the start and I got super excited and then the rest of it happened.

 

Naruto

bleach

Melancholy of haruhi suzumiya

cowboy bebop

 

Ahaha you poor bastard, out of those four only one of them is actually worth watching (I'm not going to say which one because butthurt) Of course you probably wouldn't have known that since most of the weeaboo culture thinks everything from Japan is sacred and der greetst thig evrr!!

also why would we bother to watch the Japanese dub when its already in English?
Just so we can be like "Haah we anime nao"

It's not like people in Japan make a big fuss when there is an english dub of a popular anime. If they do, it's usually because it's bad.

Weeaboo's played a huge role in me disliking the whole Japan thing. I might have been more considerate if it weren't for them. no offense to actual weeaboo's.
 oh right, yea I tried deathnote too. But that was so extremely bad.

They just tried to find a reason to add violence to a tv show. Not that I have a problem with it, but there is a thing called overdoing it. plus, names aren't individual, there are many people sharing the same name. what happens to those people if you write it in that silly book. do they all die in collateral dammage? idk, I only watched like two episodes.

If you're just gonna come to a thread about Japanese and then insult fans of the Japanese you can just leave please.

Did you just by accidentally infer that fans of "the Japanese" are all weeaboos?

 

I just... I can't...

 

JLKA8tF.jpg

 

I hope you seriously do not go around telling people you are a weeaboo.

 

Besides I'm not making fun of fans of "the Japanese" I hardly think anyone here could claim to be a fan of "the Japanese" unless you happen to have studied their history and culture academically or when you visit Japan you harass random Japanese people because you are so stoked that they are Japanese.

 

I think what you mean is fans of "Japanese cartoons and the misconception of the country and its culture" so yeah maybe I was making fun of the people who hold Japan as some holy land of cartoons video games and weird shit that makes all other countries pale in comparison. 

 

Cool your Jets, Flyboy.

 

They just tried to find a reason to add violence to a tv show. Not that I have a problem with it, but there is a thing called overdoing it. plus, names aren't individual, there are many people sharing the same name. what happens to those people if you write it in that silly book. do they all die in collateral dammage? idk, I only watched like two episodes.

 

That is a bold misconception across the board Dis and I'm going to have to argue with you on that point. Japanese Cartoons are just as varied as any kind of media with many different genres, not every single one of them has violence for violence sake.

 

Moving onto the names I could go into great detail about why that is also wrong and bring up the difference in culture when it comes to naming conventions but I think that would be going vastly off topic.

 

Same goes for Japanese comic books, difference in culture etc.

 

But I don't blame you since you seem to have been blind sided by the weeaboo culture and have formed your own negative misconception just as they have made a positive one.

 

Trust me when I say there is a lot to be enjoyed from Japanese entertainment, but it might not be for everyone and that is understandable.

 

If you are curious about some good Japanese cartoons you could get into drop me a PM and I'll help you out.

 

Also that opening was just what I was expecting, plus App-u Jack~uu.

Did you just by accidentally infer that fans of "the Japanese" are all weeaboos?

 

I just... I can't...

 

 

 

I hope you seriously do not go around telling people you are a weeaboo.

 

Besides I'm not making fun of fans of "the Japanese" I hardly think anyone here could claim to be a fan of "the Japanese" unless you happen to have studied their history and culture academically or when you visit Japan you harass random Japanese people because you are so stoked that they are Japanese.

 

I think what you mean is fans of "Japanese cartoons and the misconception of the country and its culture" so yeah maybe I was making fun of the people who hold Japan as some holy land of cartoons video games and weird shit that makes all other countries pale in comparison. 

 

Cool your Jets, Flyboy.

You know what I meant. Stop being an asshole.

Blunt maybe, Asshole? Ehh...well that's your opinion :P

 

I think Hasbro will probably put just as much effort into this Dub as the English one since that tends to be the case.

 

Sorry Europe.

If you are curious about some good Japanese cartoons you could get into drop me a PM and I'll help you out.

 

Also that opening was just what I was expecting, plus App-u Jack~uu.

meh, I really don't want to get into it all. As on sight it doesn't look appealing at all to me. thanks though.

What the heck is a weeaboo...

Weeaboo (a.k.a Wapanese) is an English slang used to describe a person (typically of non-Asian descent) who prefers Japan and all things in Japanese over one’s indigenous culture. The term is a successive mutation of “Wapanese,” a derogatory slur referring to western Japanophiles with a strong bias towards Japanese cultural and tech imports.

Origin

The antecedent word “Wapanese” (as in Wannabe Japanese) was most likely introduced in the early 2000s, with the earliest instance on Google search dating back to the Racial Slur Database from June 30, 2002.

Wapanese: a slur used to describe a white person who is obssesed with japanese culture. This would include manga/hentai/and anime.

- The Racial Slur Database, 2002

From late 2003 and onwards, usage of Wapanese became alarmingly visible on 4chan, often leading to unpleasant exchanges between anime/manga fans and those who were far less interested in their subcultures.

At the peak of its abuse in mid-2005, 4chan moderators devised a creative intervention using the word-filter, replacing every instance of Wapanese with “Weeaboo,” which was a fictitious term originally coined by Nicholas Gurewitch in his Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip (date unknown, comic #62):

PBF071-Weeaboo.gif

 

In its original context, the word “weeaboo” doesn’t signify anything but something undesirable and deserving punishment. Since then, many 4chan visitors adopted the word “Weeaboo” in replacement of Wapanese.

 

Stereotypes of “Weeaboo”

There are numerous online discussions and referential sources discussing the stereotypes and traits of “Weeaboo”; some of the most notable observational jokes include:

 

  • Excessive use of Japanese words in replacement of English
  • Favoritism of Japanese imports over domestic equivalents
  • Hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket
  • Crowding the manga section of your local book store
  • Seeking Japanese partners only in Personals on Craigslist

Ability to memorize and recite Anime opening theme songs

from experience I know how terrible every single dub is up and till now. japan won't be any different I am afraid... here in the netherlands all the ponies sound like they have the same voice. it's so annoying.

 

tell me all the ponies dont have the same voice actor!

 

if you think thats terrible.. try spanish version

Part of the intro can be seen/heard here! (Starts at 0:33)

 

It's just occurred to me how much they're going to struggle when it comes to saying "Rarity".

Actually, Japanese fans already decided to pronounce her name as ラリティ (Rariti) ever since interest in the show began in Japan, which was quite some time ago.  This pronunciation became officially recognized in the Japanese version of the MLP:FiM iOS game, and will be the same pronunciation used in the television show.

Well after watching the first episode dubbed in Japanese, I think they did a pretty good job. I am a huge fan of anime and the Japanese culture, so I am actually very happy with merging 2 of my most favourite things together :D

Definitely not as painful to watch as most foreign dubs. Applejack sounded a bit off though. Loved the fact that they put their names in subtitles when every character introduces themselves.

SHADDAP JAPANESE TWILIGHT IS KAWAII!!

 

But in all seriousness if you watch anime then it's pretty fun to see your favorite characters speak in Japanese. I'm obviously not gonna rewatch the whole series.
