    From experience with learning Japanese, It's really hard to pronounce something not in your alphabet.

    That was just bad. The ending was a bit better but not by much.

    Hmmm..well the beginning video isn't bad..like they 'introduce' each of the main characters, but the music is awful..like the score and intro we have in the states so much better.

    The ending vid...ah...just didn't care for that one at all.

    Glad it's finally showing in Japan, but sounds like it did lose something in translation.

    An opening sequence to almost match the entire run of the Japanese dub of beast wars. Sad really, as i did love the Japanese transformers animated theme song.

    Wow, that opening does not fit the seriousness tone of prime at all...terrible, especially in comparison to TF Animated's Japanese intro...

    I'm curious to hear what the Japanese dubbing is like, is the episode up anywere?

    I usually like Japanese songs for TV shows, but that opening song is just painful.... That being said, I kinda like the outro. The footage was much better edited for the outro, too. Sad to hear that they have the usual cliche Japanese stuff in the dub, what with yelling "TURANSUFOOM!" and what not (yes, I had to write that literally. It just amuses me when they say it in Japanese).

    I remember watching a bit of the Animated dub, where the dialogue was already rushed, then they kept saying "transform" all the damn time, and not only was it out of place, it interrupted the dialogue, such as between Ratchet and Prime at the beginning of the show. I'm afraid that it could hurt Prime in the same way. That being said, it's not as if I need to watch it in Japanese (and why would I? I like the English version just as is, thanks).

    Honestly, this feels like stupid comment of the week to me. It's not because it's "hip". Sometimes it fits better, for instance, but there are plenty of legitimate reasons for it. They don't do it for fun.

    As for pronouncing the letter L..... That's NOT an easy task for a native Japanese speaker. Their Rs are a cross between an English L and R. Have you ever tried pronouncing a Japanese R? For a while, it is VERY HARD to say it correctly. There are Japanese people who speak fluent English and still have trouble with our Ls. It's nowhere near as simple as you think. So next time, don't be so quick to criticise.
