I love how Laura came back to voice Tohru, 18 years later after abandoning so many other roles. She lost her Lucina, Rise, and her Kid Trunks, but she came back for Tohru It shows how much she does love this series
@@hectichooligan8299 Yeah she's very booked and busy and also like mentioned in a Fruits Basket 2019 behind the scenes vid the ADR director mentioned that it has been tough to record because Laura lives in LA vs Texas where Funimation is based. So the ADR director actually flies out to LA sometimes and then records chunks of episodes at a time with Laura cause it's easier than recording remotely and doing it over video call or whatever. So it might be a mix of remote recording not always being the easiest and scheduling conflicts as possible reasons she didn't return to roles like Kid Trunks.
@@hierophantpurple5163 on the upside covid has made it easier and more common for adr directors to direct via zoom and such. So hopefully that made things easier and that skillset will cary on in the future. I'd love it if she could reprise more roles or even tackle some new ones. I have a small sliver of hope that kodocha might get its second season dubbed now that they're re-releasing it lol. Anyway she's an angel and I'd love it if she would get back into anime a little more.
@@hectichooligan8299 Yeah! I know she has still done some anime work kinda recently like Kushina in Naruto but it would be dope to hear her in more dubs again.
I didn't realize that they had so many of the original voice actors. I knew that Tohru, Kyo, Yuki and Shigure were the same but the others were a pleasent surprise. Kisa's VA was a huge transformation. XD
I feel like the one who improved them most was Eric. He was great before but I like that this time he didn't go as soft with Yuki's voice. And he's doing an amazing job at the time when sassy Yuki comes out to play.
@@sandyg4646 No actually 2019 sounds more like a teenager. Yuki is portrayed soft and 2001 didn't quite catch that soft voice, but 2019 did it perfectly
@@sandyg4646 Sorry I don't quite understand what you are trying to say. If you meant that in both 2001 and 2019, Yuki's voice doesn't sound like a teenager, well that's just individual perspective 🤷 But still I like 2019 Yuki better😋😋
@@expresser5958 that's exactly what I meant, but I also said to each their own. Either way, he still sounds good. Personally I prefer the overall dialogue flow of the 2001 version
I didn't notice how well and improved the new dub is compared to the 2001 version. The VA's have improved yes but i also think its the advancement in audio recording technology. Before its just sounded a bit muffled.
Tbh, I really don't think there's that much of an improvement in dub work. I think it's mostly better tech, directing and localization. There's a reason a lot of the actors from the so called "bad era" are still around.
Same. I found Momiji's German accent so strange at first but now I love it. It really suits him. I love how the anime shows that Momiji puts on the accent to feel closer to his mother. It's the little details that make Fruits Basket so special 💖💖
The manga said he was German and that his Japanese showed his German accent so for me hearing him not have a German accent was weird for me. So this anime felt much more like what I imagined momiji would sound like
She kinda just sounds like an uwu imitation of a young girl now (which she is doing, granted). Kisa's original voice, when she was eleven, sounds very distinctively like a normal eleven year old girl, which is more realistic imo. It's rather difficult to hear this current performance.
I like how she sounded more when she was actually 11 because her voice is so high pitched and more whinier then when she does it as 29. I would of have just replaced her with another 11 year old girl for this dub. I guess that is rude but youd get more of a realistic voice.
I think it's less that she was "off" in 2001 and more that she used different vocal ranges. In 2001, she was using her natural regular voice, in 2019 I think she's doing a higher pitch take in order to sound younger since she got older and that original voice matured too much. This could have been grating with other actresses, but for some reason it actually ends up working better for her here, either way in both versions I think she continues to be incredible as always :)
Kelly Joule !! This, you’re absolutely right, this was almost 20 years ago so yeah, her voice has changed and matured, in this reboot it’s higher pitched (but she can still reach that range because she played maka and in soul eater NOT which was back in 2015, she still had that tohru/maka “sound”) I’m guessing the voice director wanted her to sound younger, even higher pitched than the 2001 version of her 💚
Love how almost all of the cast reprised their roles for the remake, just shows they really care about the anime and want to do justice towards the original and even improve it.
This kinda relates to my comment, I said that the 2001 dub it seems like there’s less confidence with playing around with the voice like in terms of pitch to simulate emotion. Mufasa from the lion king for example, the VA there plays with the voice that he does, Laura back then seems less confident and comes off as flat a little.while now she played with the tone which I like a lot more to give it more life/emotion
I haven't seen the original anime in so long but they have all improved SO much and I am extremely happy with the DUB! I know a lot of people don't like DUB or the original Furuba DUB but besides growing up with these voices, I also feel in general most of them truly suit them and it's so wonderful that they have gotten better too! It's funny because most of the voices sound very 90's along with of course the quality in the recordings of the voices sounding old in the original. But I feel a lot of them got better and in general the voices work better now since it's rebooted and closer to the manga story. As Malyutka said "the current dub works so well for the more emotional theme".
yea....but i feel like that kind of set the note of the anime. the new one sometimes seems too bright, like trying to hard, even though it lacks to comedic genius of the 2001 anime. I hate to compare, I think they both did the story justice in their own ways.
I can’t believe they got almost every single voice back. I was expecting one or two when the show was announced, but they outdid themselves. When they put that much effort into it before the show even starts that’s how you know the dub’s quality.
I love the original dub 😭 the way Tohru's voice cracks, Kyo's tone and Yuki's coldness was so perfect in itself 😭❤ As a part of my childhood that was never really completed (as in they didnt animate as far as they did w the new ver) I feel really happy to see the original VA's come back 💖
This was amazing! Thanks for comparing the dub voices. When you hear them side by side you can really tell how much the voice actors have improved. FruBa has one of the best dubs ever, and the fact they brought so many of the original cast shows just how unique and special this series really is to everyone involved 😊💕
@@sandyg4646 wow seriously? Well their intonation and line delivery is vastly better than the original dub. They also convey emotion so much better in the reboot. Eric Vale in particular is miles better
@@MyTaintedInnocence I'm not sure I agree with that. There was plenty of emotion already in the original and the script itself had way more personality. For example, hatsuharu. When he's telling kisa he was worried about her, in the 2019 version he says rather calmly almost flat. But in the original 2001 version his voice actually TREMBLES , showing exactly how upset he was by kisa disappearing. So I have to strongly disagree with the 2019 version showing more emotion. It's not that the voice acting itself is more emotional, but the script itself is more emotional.
"Uhh, no" "Uhhhh.... yes" *lmao* aaah I was wondering if Mitsu was the same actress!! and omg Makoto's the same too?? and I'm yelling that Ritsu's, Kyo's, and Momiji's moms are the same too adsdfgdfgdfg I knew Tohru and the Zodiacs were but not them
Honestly, I think Eric Vale had the biggest improvement! His voice for Yuki sounds much more natural/relaxed, while still fitting the image of the character Yuki so well! As for the cast overall, they've all done a greta job! Absolutely thrilled with all their work for this reboot!
Theres so much more inflections and feeling in their words in the new series. I noticed it immediately when I started the reboot. The old one was so monotone and Yuki especiallyyyyyy was so quiet and breathy and annoying. The new take on his voice is so much more natural feeling, though it's still noticeable when he yells.
The timing of the lines are so much better too. In addition to the actors, the ADR and dub script team did a great job of making the lines feel more natural.
Like how for the original fullmetal alchemist alphonse was voiced by a young kid, but when brotherhood came out he hit puberty and couldn't do the voice
Wow so much better now! I love sub and dub. It is not only the intonation, pronunciation and emotion, even the dialogue is so much better. And how Kisa voice looks even younger now that she's older!?!?
I think all of the voice actors have grown so much! For Kisa's voice actress quite a lot! Actually, I think they should have given that part to a little girl like that did in the original. But it's also sweet they asked Kisa's voice actress to come back too :)
I know this is a dub comparison but the animation has also improved so much! Not only is there much more movement, but there's also much more detail. It makes sense, as animation has moved forward since the original was made, but it's still cool to see when directly comparing them
I like the fact that a majority of the original voice cast returned for the remake. You can see how much better they've gotten over the years. Not that the 2000's version is bad, a lot of anime in the 90's and early 2000's were all about the same when it came to dub VA quality.
I know some people say that Yuki's voice sounds too old but I personally love it. I think it adds more character to him, especially his snarky and sassy moments. His calm and quiet demeanor acts as a nice foil to contrast Kyo's loud, brash voice. Speaking of Kyo, I think Jerry really upgraded the tonality of his character. He manages to sound kind of angry with every line, even when Kyo is trying to be nice. I think it shows Kyo's "awkward kindness" a bit better.
Laura was using her voice naturally, in the reboot, it’s more higher pitched or toned, to go for that more cute-sy feel, not sure why they did it when Laura still sounds exactly how she did in the 2001 version, literally in soul eater (not) which came out in 2015, she sounded exactly the same.
i don’t know whether the change in hatori’s voice was just a side effect of time passing and the actor aging or if it was a conscious decision on his part but i really really love hatori’s lower, rougher voice in the update!!!
Honestly this was definitely one of the things I loved about the remaster. Was that they brought back all their original voice actors. That’s why I still kept continuing to watch them in English dub. I did watch some in Japanese cuz the English takes forever. Then I got patient and the season 2 dub finally finished LOL. I wanna keep watching in English it’s great.
I love the old version so much more, voicewise. Like, how they expressed their characters! They brought so much life to them, at least going by this comparison. But, it's great that they've expanded and revised it! So I'm excited!
I love the original anime because it was so monumental for me. That being said, it was serious at the wrong times and funny at the wrong time. I could see why it would have been difficult to continue the series because it left out so many important aspects of the characters and what they contribute to the plot
I'm so happy that the V/As are the same ;;;;---;;;; i grew up on the dubs and they're the only dub i tolerate now. Modern dubs ain't it for me usually.
This came out before I was born. Funny story I discovered this anime by finding it on the ground of a thrift shop! It was being crushed :( I don’t regret picking up a dirty movie box
@@gamerGirl90001 OMG I didn't know that. The difference is amazing. I would have never guessed in a million years as even when the spa lady was relatively calm she sounded old, tired but professional (AKA nothing like Kyoko).
@@arashisora it might be the audio mixing for the sound effects that play along the punchline. A lot of anime will have the sound effects be very loud in comedic scenes, which kinda gives the same impression as a laugh track to me (fmab, haikyuu, and akatsuki no yona are some examples). It’s honestly a really big pet peeve of mine and I’m surprised more people don’t notice it
What sticks out almost immediately in all of these is how much more confident everyone sounds with the reboot. It should go without saying (almost everyone here’s been voice acting for two decades), but it clearly shows how far they’ve come in balancing how broad and subtle you have to be with anime dubbing.
Same. At first I was like "okay this voice acting is a little better and the animation is good" and now I'm like "omg the 2001 was so much worse in every aspect"
One of my favorite improvements from the original is their consideration for correct Japanese pronunciation, particularly for names!! Every single time I hear one of them say the Japanese "r" sound for names, I get so happy ☺
When I look at the two, this is how I feel. The new version has does its story telling better, the animation is much more polished and the voice acting is top notch. However, when it comes to the emotional aspect, I feel like the OG anime did it a little better. What I mean to say is that when it came to the big emotional scenes like the lesson about the rice ball and the plum, or about the importance of memories, the OG delivered it better because it had the perfect music that helped sell the point home and made the lessons stick with you while the new one doesn't have that. Aside from that, the new one is very good, however when it came to showing emotion and wisdom, I usually show the older version to others so they understand what the anime is about.
Yes, you described my feelings perfectly. Sure the new version has better animation and many of the voice actors are more technically skilled, but the new version doesn't make me cry and the original does. Therefore the original is better.
I’ve always loved Laura, Eric, and Jerry’s voices. I still do in the reboot. However, the original just feels different, and I prefer the old voice acting since it had a cute naïveté, BUT, I understand that the original was made almost two full decades ago, so I completely understand how everyone who was recast sounds different. Even so, their voice acting has aged phenomenally. While I liked their old voices better since they sound younger and “sweeter” like actual teens, the new voice acting has WAY more emotion since the actors are older and have more experience. Both versions of the dub are wonderful.
You can really hear the differences, while it is the same cast (and I love that they managed to get the same cast) there are differences. I think the remake is better because it’s a remake. A lot as happened in 18 years, technology got better for voice acting, and the voice actors grew and were able to better their skills, either the voices matured or they gained experience. I think this is why the remake is a better dub
I love fruits basket sooooo much... and I’m happy majority of the voice actors came back I’m sorry but there’s certain voices you just can’t replace ( like Ayame and Ritsu) but I will always love my Tohru, but you can tell how far they’ve come from when it first came out.
It still makes me very happy that they brought back so many of the original cast members. Fruits Basket 2001 actually had one of my favorite dubs, and it's hard for me to imagine any other English actors in a lot of these roles --- especially the main four. As someone who discovered the series back in around 2012 and read the manga soon after, the new series fulfilled a long-standing dream of mine to see them get to finish the story as it was intended.
long 18 years many actors have changed.....they went ahead too far.....they become better.....and now they have returned once again on the same stage.....thank you @Huhsuabee for making this video.....its truly a lovely video....I really love this series....Thank You!
Considering how many strong, tough, masculine characters that Christopher Sabat has played over the last 20 years, voicing such a flamboyant character as Ayame must have been a true treat! You can hear the joy oozing from every syllable! It is rare that an actor gets the chance to play such an over-the-top character!
Listening 2 the 2001 dub gave me nostalgia. But they do improved so much and I appreciate it. Aslo my jaw dropped that Kate was 11 when she voiced kisa?! And she's almost 30?!😨
@@ryanmelton2182 I was suprised that Laura Bailey return for the 2019 anime considering that she nowadays does cartoons and video games voice acting more.
Holy crap. Hearing Laura Bailey's voice acting being so spot on like it was in the original... It makes me wonder if her, Jerry, and John would ever wanna come back some day to finish Kodocha. That anime has a weird special place in my heart as, oddly enough, the first anime I ever watched. I finished what they had done subbed, but i always thought it'd be cool if they finished dubbing it. It'll probably never happen... buy hey, a guy can dream right?
I like to play a game where I try to figure out which changes are the result of them becoming better VAs with experience, and what is a result of the different tone of the 2019 version?
I love both series' for different reasons. From what I've seen, the first one was a bit more lighthearted and had a more funny aura while the new one is very beautiful, serious and almost melancholy
I agree with everyone, the new version is just amazing but I just wanted to add ... Haru's voice actor seems to be really t h r i v i n g as dark Haru und I love it so much hahahah
Perfect -Voice casting was and is spot on-one of the few anime that I prefer the English dub. I noticed that the pronunciation of some of the names are different but I am really enjoying the reboot of my all time favorite.
This isn't about the voice acting, but I can't help but be impressed at how nice the translation is for the 2019 version! I feel like the wordflow is often more creative and smooth in the new one. I especially noticed it during Motoko's scenes. XD

@@MyTaintedInnocence I'm not sure I agree with that. There was plenty of emotion already in the original and the script itself had way more personality. For example, hatsuharu. When he's telling kisa he was worried about her, in the 2019 version he says rather calmly almost flat. But in the original 2001 version his voice actually TREMBLES , showing exactly how upset he was by kisa disappearing. So I have to strongly disagree with the 2019 version showing more emotion. It's not that the voice acting itself is more emotional, but the script itself is more emotional.
"Uhh, no"
"Uhhhh.... yes" *lmao*
aaah I was wondering if Mitsu was the same actress!! and omg Makoto's the same too?? and I'm yelling that Ritsu's, Kyo's, and Momiji's moms are the same too adsdfgdfgdfg I knew Tohru and the Zodiacs were but not them
Honestly, I think Eric Vale had the biggest improvement! His voice for Yuki sounds much more natural/relaxed, while still fitting the image of the character Yuki so well! As for the cast overall, they've all done a greta job! Absolutely thrilled with all their work for this reboot!
istg I normally dont watch dubs but OHSHC and Fruits Basket breaks that rule.
Kisa's voice got cuter.
OMG SAME
Yes the old one sounded more natural.
Theres so much more inflections and feeling in their words in the new series. I noticed it immediately when I started the reboot. The old one was so monotone and Yuki especiallyyyyyy was so quiet and breathy and annoying. The new take on his voice is so much more natural feeling, though it's still noticeable when he yells.
The timing of the lines are so much better too. In addition to the actors, the ADR and dub script team did a great job of making the lines feel more natural.
I love how they gave Momiji's mom a German accent, considering that she is German.
Actually Momiji is a boy.
@@DragonMama-yt3zs i think they were referring to the mom not Momiji
Um...I'm pretty sure Momiji is a boy...but it's an easy mistake to make lol
@@WhatNow858 when did anyone imply that Momiji wasn’t a boy?
Haru breaking fourth wall. Its awesome in both versions
Haru's voice is so much mature in the new version
.... the original dub voice of Kisa was 11!?!?
Aaron was 9 when he voiced Hiro.
Yeah, they still used child voice actors back then
Like how for the original fullmetal alchemist alphonse was voiced by a young kid, but when brotherhood came out he hit puberty and couldn't do the voice
@Matthew Barona only for boys though
@@robispobes7833 Aaron dismuk
5:24 kisa sounded alot older in first version and then got younger as an adult. That's amazing
Wow so much better now! I love sub and dub. It is not only the intonation, pronunciation and emotion, even the dialogue is so much better. And how Kisa voice looks even younger now that she's older!?!?
I think all of the voice actors have grown so much! For Kisa's voice actress quite a lot! Actually, I think they should have given that part to a little girl like that did in the original. But it's also sweet they asked Kisa's voice actress to come back too :)
I know this is a dub comparison but the animation has also improved so much! Not only is there much more movement, but there's also much more detail. It makes sense, as animation has moved forward since the original was made, but it's still cool to see when directly comparing them
This shows the drastic difference and improvement so well! I knew there was a difference but this made it all the more clear. I love them all!
I like the fact that a majority of the original voice cast returned for the remake. You can see how much better they've gotten over the years. Not that the 2000's version is bad, a lot of anime in the 90's and early 2000's were all about the same when it came to dub VA quality.
I love Chris Sabat as Ayame especially the newer version. Everytime I hear his voice I giggle😆
i hear zoro lol
I love his acting XD
I know some people say that Yuki's voice sounds too old but I personally love it. I think it adds more character to him, especially his snarky and sassy moments. His calm and quiet demeanor acts as a nice foil to contrast Kyo's loud, brash voice.
Speaking of Kyo, I think Jerry really upgraded the tonality of his character. He manages to sound kind of angry with every line, even when Kyo is trying to be nice. I think it shows Kyo's "awkward kindness" a bit better.
i think i have a big bias towards the 2001 because it’s so nostalgic for me, but i can definitely hear the improvement in a lot of their performances
I looks tohrus old voice better, she sounded more mature and nurturing. I know its the same VA but it still sounds different
Meh it might be the fact that it was filmed in 2001 but I don’t like it
Laura was using her voice naturally, in the reboot, it’s more higher pitched or toned, to go for that more cute-sy feel, not sure why they did it when Laura still sounds exactly how she did in the 2001 version, literally in soul eater (not) which came out in 2015, she sounded exactly the same.
@@bankaispirits I think the more cutsey tone fits Tohru more given how she acts she does pitch down a bit during season 3
i don’t know whether the change in hatori’s voice was just a side effect of time passing and the actor aging or if it was a conscious decision on his part but i really really love hatori’s lower, rougher voice in the update!!!
No highschool girls scene? Aw man, missing out on my boi Shigure's greatest scene lol
There wasn't too much to compare since he only says the first line rather than the whole song 😅
Me too
Fruits Basket 2019 cast changes from 2001:
Akito Soma- Colleen Clinkenbeard(Erza Scarlet, Monkey D. Luffy, Riza Hawkeye)
Momiji Soma- Mikaela Krantz(Misaki Shokuho, Clementine, Chio Miyamo)
Hiro Soma- Luci Christian(Nami, Nagisa Furukawa, Ochaco Uraraka)
Kagura Soma- Tia Ballard(Happy, Zero Two, Mizore Shirayuki)
Arisa Uotani- Elizabeth Maxwell(Albedo, Midnight, Caulifla)
Saki Hanajima- Jad Saxton(Koneko Tojo, Carla, Akatsuki)
It makes me happy to hear how many actors actually reprised their roles and it’s amazing to see the growth 🥰
Honestly this was definitely one of the things I loved about the remaster. Was that they brought back all their original voice actors. That’s why I still kept continuing to watch them in English dub. I did watch some in Japanese cuz the English takes forever. Then I got patient and the season 2 dub finally finished LOL. I wanna keep watching in English it’s great.
I love the old version so much more, voicewise. Like, how they expressed their characters! They brought so much life to them, at least going by this comparison. But, it's great that they've expanded and revised it! So I'm excited!
I agree completely, older version just steals my heart.
im so glad they brought back the original cast, i was so worried i was gonna have to get used to new voices
I love the original anime because it was so monumental for me. That being said, it was serious at the wrong times and funny at the wrong time. I could see why it would have been difficult to continue the series because it left out so many important aspects of the characters and what they contribute to the plot
All I hear is Kirishima when Hatsuharu is on screen
I hear Yusuke!God I’m old!😂
Arron Dismuke was 9 years old for the 2002 one, how crazy and he actually appears in the 2019 one
That's the thing, actual children tend to feel a lot more mature sounding than older people doing young voices. It's weird.
I'm so happy that the V/As are the same ;;;;---;;;; i grew up on the dubs and they're the only dub i tolerate now. Modern dubs ain't it for me usually.
This came out before I was born. Funny story I discovered this anime by finding it on the ground of a thrift shop! It was being crushed :( I don’t regret picking up a dirty movie box
Sound quality has also changed over time
Omg I forgot how much Julia went off in the 2001 version 😂.
Especially when she also voiced Kyoko in the 2001 😳 never knew they had the same voice because she really went all out for the spa lady
@@gamerGirl90001 OMG I didn't know that. The difference is amazing. I would have never guessed in a million years as even when the spa lady was relatively calm she sounded old, tired but professional (AKA nothing like Kyoko).
Yo the sound quality has come along way since 2001. So glad the original cast is in both the original and remake.
I like tohru’s voice then, right know it sounds like they’re trying to make her sound cute
Agreed
Fun Fact: The author of Fruits Basket hated the 1st adaptation of the anime.
She hated it so much XD
They didn't take the heavy weight of the series seriously. As a writer of someone did that to me I'd be pissed as shit too.
@@kirikake5414 The first anime was made when the manga was still ongoing. IIRC, the manga ended in 2006.
I don't blame her
And that was before the art change to the author's dominant hand (left hand).
Omg Kate's improvement had me shook--! I mean everyone did but i think Kisa'a Va is wow
They have improved so much since the old version. ^\\^ The new one sounds like it has much more emotion in their performances
I've noticed this in a lot of other dubs, but I think it's great how much more effort is being put into correct name pronunciation these days.
Justin Cook as Haru went from sounding like yusuke in the 2001 anime to sounding like raditz in the 2019 anime
Holy crap. It amazes me how much the voice actors have improved ksuxbhdj they're so amazing wtf
I like that so many of the actors came back, I loved to see their improvement!
They sound more energetic and more dramatic in the 2019 dub and I like it
There's something about the 2001 series that I enjoy more than the 2019 and I can't quite put my finger on it.
@@arashisora it might be the audio mixing for the sound effects that play along the punchline. A lot of anime will have the sound effects be very loud in comedic scenes, which kinda gives the same impression as a laugh track to me (fmab, haikyuu, and akatsuki no yona are some examples). It’s honestly a really big pet peeve of mine and I’m surprised more people don’t notice it
What sticks out almost immediately in all of these is how much more confident everyone sounds with the reboot. It should go without saying (almost everyone here’s been voice acting for two decades), but it clearly shows how far they’ve come in balancing how broad and subtle you have to be with anime dubbing.
Wow... massive improvement from age 11 to 29 (like, obviously yes, but like its sooo much better dang)
Just hearing Laura Bailey alone improving so much from her original performance, when it was already decent, shows how talented she is
with how things are going since 2019 im not surprised of Jamie Marchi's role XD
when i started watching the 2019 one i couldn’t tell the difference between them both but now oh my god 😳
Same. At first I was like "okay this voice acting is a little better and the animation is good" and now I'm like "omg the 2001 was so much worse in every aspect"
Am I the only one that thinks Motoko’s voice was by FAR the best improvement ??
One of my favorite improvements from the original is their consideration for correct Japanese pronunciation, particularly for names!! Every single time I hear one of them say the Japanese "r" sound for names, I get so happy ☺
When I look at the two, this is how I feel. The new version has does its story telling better, the animation is much more polished and the voice acting is top notch. However, when it comes to the emotional aspect, I feel like the OG anime did it a little better.
What I mean to say is that when it came to the big emotional scenes like the lesson about the rice ball and the plum, or about the importance of memories, the OG delivered it better because it had the perfect music that helped sell the point home and made the lessons stick with you while the new one doesn't have that.
Aside from that, the new one is very good, however when it came to showing emotion and wisdom, I usually show the older version to others so they understand what the anime is about.
Yes, you described my feelings perfectly. Sure the new version has better animation and many of the voice actors are more technically skilled, but the new version doesn't make me cry and the original does. Therefore the original is better.
I’ve always loved Laura, Eric, and Jerry’s voices. I still do in the reboot. However, the original just feels different, and I prefer the old voice acting since it had a cute naïveté, BUT, I understand that the original was made almost two full decades ago, so I completely understand how everyone who was recast sounds different. Even so, their voice acting has aged phenomenally. While I liked their old voices better since they sound younger and “sweeter” like actual teens, the new voice acting has WAY more emotion since the actors are older and have more experience. Both versions of the dub are wonderful.
You can really hear the differences, while it is the same cast (and I love that they managed to get the same cast) there are differences. I think the remake is better because it’s a remake. A lot as happened in 18 years, technology got better for voice acting, and the voice actors grew and were able to better their skills, either the voices matured or they gained experience. I think this is why the remake is a better dub
I'm watching the sub version (cause i cant find it in dub with good quality)
But after i finish will watch the dub version
Cant wait
www1.cartooncrazy.net/anime/fruits-basket-2019/ This might work for you.
Try Funimation it’s on their fully dubbed
@@chloe4521 i would, but its not available in my country
@@djami4057 Thank you
I love fruits basket sooooo much... and I’m happy majority of the voice actors came back I’m sorry but there’s certain voices you just can’t replace ( like Ayame and Ritsu) but I will always love my Tohru, but you can tell how far they’ve come from when it first came out.
It still makes me very happy that they brought back so many of the original cast members. Fruits Basket 2001 actually had one of my favorite dubs, and it's hard for me to imagine any other English actors in a lot of these roles --- especially the main four. As someone who discovered the series back in around 2012 and read the manga soon after, the new series fulfilled a long-standing dream of mine to see them get to finish the story as it was intended.
Interesting how in Wendy Powell's first performance as Kyo's mother, you can really hear the doubt and fear in her voice
long 18 years many actors have changed.....they went ahead too far.....they become better.....and now they have returned once again on the same stage.....thank you @Huhsuabee for making this video.....its truly a lovely video....I really love this series....Thank You!
Considering how many strong, tough, masculine characters that Christopher Sabat has played over the last 20 years, voicing such a flamboyant character as Ayame must have been a true treat! You can hear the joy oozing from every syllable! It is rare that an actor gets the chance to play such an over-the-top character!
The voice actors improvements are so impressive. After 18 years is amazing.
Listening 2 the 2001 dub gave me nostalgia. But they do improved so much and I appreciate it. Aslo my jaw dropped that Kate was 11 when she voiced kisa?! And she's almost 30?!😨
The newer Tohru voice is the best voice in existence.
It’s the same voice actress for both versions
Yeah but if you think it sounds the same you need your ears checked.
It's so much more cuter
@@ryanmelton2182 I was suprised that Laura Bailey return for the 2019 anime considering that she nowadays does cartoons and video games voice acting more.
@@player2-lightwater914 she has been in some other anime’s she one of the precure dubs as the MC back in 2016-2017
Holy crap. Hearing Laura Bailey's voice acting being so spot on like it was in the original... It makes me wonder if her, Jerry, and John would ever wanna come back some day to finish Kodocha.
That anime has a weird special place in my heart as, oddly enough, the first anime I ever watched. I finished what they had done subbed, but i always thought it'd be cool if they finished dubbing it.
It'll probably never happen... buy hey, a guy can dream right?
I like to play a game where I try to figure out which changes are the result of them becoming better VAs with experience, and what is a result of the different tone of the 2019 version?
I notice the improvement in the speech pattern.
Omg, I didn't know this was dubbed already. I am SO HAPPY they brought back the original English cast. T___T
I love both series' for different reasons. From what I've seen, the first one was a bit more lighthearted and had a more funny aura while the new one is very beautiful, serious and almost melancholy
I wasn't expecting to hear the same people in the different dubs!!!
I still love it that Vegeta/Piccolo/Yamcha are Ayame xD
I agree with everyone, the new version is just amazing but I just wanted to add ... Haru's voice actor seems to be really t h r i v i n g as dark Haru und I love it so much hahahah
In my opinion, the best glow-up was in Kisa's VA.
Perfect -Voice casting was and is spot on-one of the few anime that I prefer the English dub. I noticed that the pronunciation of some of the names are different but I am really enjoying the reboot of my all time favorite.
This isn't about the voice acting, but I can't help but be impressed at how nice the translation is for the 2019 version! I feel like the wordflow is often more creative and smooth in the new one. I especially noticed it during Motoko's scenes. XD
