You know, I've seen both versions...though I started watching the english on Cartoon Network before I got a hold of a fansub from a friend. I really didn't notice it too badly (the difference) until the last 3 episodes. In this regard, I totally agree with you. Jin was pretty much on target, but the others...ehhh...

It was rather funny...when we were all watching the last few eps of the english version, I had to pause the DVD at one point and explain a scene, because the english translation had everyone going "huh?? what's *that* supposed to mean?"

So, while it didn't really piss me off, it did make me laugh.

Samurai Champloo is good, but i haven't seen the last four eps. I haven't thought of the subs yet, only watched it in Japanese with subtitles, I gotta check that... The best fitting subs I've ever heard were in Catalan

(Meaning Catalan made by one group that shows most of the anime there...)

I've never seen the Japanese, but I thought Mugen's dub voice was good. *pout* He really got the renegade bad ass voice down....

Who was the assassin who almost killed Mugen and Jinn? She was freakin bad ass.

Her name was Sara and appeared in episode 20 and 21. She was pretty badass

I cant stand his English voice. Sounds too young and smooth. The Japanese voices sounds older, rough, and sometimes smooth. more range, basically. It dosnt suck as far as acting goes, to me its just dosnt flesh out the character much.

I dont know, i think it fits since he's like the unmentioned ancestor to Spike Spiegel, but i suppose Blum coulda used that deeper, rougher tone of voice.
