Kenichi Abridged!
http://i.imgur.com/p5xkK.jpg

About the Project

I wanted to try my hand at making a abridged series but I wanted to
A: find a show with male heavy characters
B: something actiony.

so I settled on Kenichi.


My goals for this dub is to simply make this a more 'mature' dub saying **** instead of crap, its not going to be a full on screw fest with the story, just some re-imagining here and there. and even though i say abridged there is hardly anything i'll be cutting out just those pre-episode cuts that take like 1/3 of the episode -.- so in that regard it kinda is :P

well i'll talk more about it later :P so here's the cast list
The first episode will actually be a combination of the first two episodes of kenichi there by becoming a 40 minute episode special.

Main Cast

Kenichi Shirahama (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Kenichi_Shirahama) : Zuiichi
Re-imagining: Nothing much will be changed other than being a bit more quick witted

Miu Furinji (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Miu_F%C5%ABrinji): [Open]
Re-imagining: her skills have led to the accidental death of a schoolmate in her previous school causing her to transfer over.

Hayato Furinji (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Hayato_F%C5%ABrinji): [Open]
Re-imagining: Not much will be changed, he will speak kindly and be referred to as jesus by kenichi because of his presence

Shio Sakaki (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Shio_Sakak): [Open]
Re-Imagining: Sakaki's character will be portrayed as that of kenshiro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenshiro) of the fist of the north star, complete with fighting names and sound effects.

Apachai Hopachai (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Apachai_Hopachai): Vej
Re-imagining: Nothing much will be changed with his character but i'm hoping to flesh out his character a little

Shigure Kosaka (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Shigure_Kosaka): [Open]
Re-Imagining: says obscene or cryptic things with no emotion.

Kensei Ma (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Kensei_Ma): [Open]
Re-imagining: he can only get dirtier from here out :P

Akisame Koetsuji (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Akisame_K%C5%8Detsuji): [Open]
Re-imagining; more blunt and funnier, also has a running joke of having byakugan (http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Byakugan) powers because of his eye color and his ability to read minds.

Haruo Niijima (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Haruo_Niijima): Zuiichi (possibly)
Re-imagining: nothing much will be changed other than his plans for world domination is changed to him becoming emperor.

Daimonji (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Daimonji): [Open]
Re-imagining: He's more of a high school guy cussing every fourth word and being a general asshole.

Tsukuba (http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/Tsukuba): [Open]
No real changes

Others

Jerk1: [Open]
Jerk2: [Open]

No age requirements (Or rather how deep my voice should be)?

kenichi has a good amount of kids in its cast but I wouldn't want squeakers, normal voices are good, and you can choose who to audition for

One of the things I don't like about abridges and fan dubs are how quiet they are, so one of my major goals is add many background music tracks and sound effects in mix
here is work in progress audio mix

NOTE: video quality was lessened to save on download time final product will look much much better

Well, I would've preferred if you had a voice test go along with it so I could see how well it all synced up.

He'd need voices for that.

Haar
03-23-2012, 08:07 PM
Yes, I'm aware of that, but I at least thought he'd do some sort of test scene with only Kenichi himself talking.

since its still in project form all the audio can be moved accordingly to the video used. so i have no real worries there

SplitReality

True that would be entirely possible. What say you Zuii?

Zuiichi
03-23-2012, 08:10 PM
Yeah i'm gonna do a segment with just myself as a example
just wanted to get the background sfx done first

Update: Currently working on a funny but not retarded script (so far little luck :P)
I am doing touch ups to the audio tracks in the first episode and will have a rough of the script finished by Thursday along with a test audio record on Friday.

I will post the script here for all to see and will be majorly open to suggestions
