Ouran High School Host Club Question

What are the major differences between the English dub and the original Japanese?

Everyone on this spot has probably heard of censorship in American anime. I'm wondering if there were any changes made to Ouran in the dubbing process, no matter how small.

I plan on watching the dub eventually, but I don't have time right now.

In my opinion I thought the English dub was really good. Obviously some differences between the Japanese and English version are how the characters sound. Also in the English version thee seems to be a little less swearing. Over all though it was pretty accurate.

I don't think there are any MAJOR differences, but there are minor, like the fact Haruhi sounds more boyish and it's easier to tell the twins apart due to the voices, I think the two minor-major changes were the opening and ending, many people were commenting on how poor they were and that the two main character's VA's should have sung them, but other than that, the dub's really enjoyable, I liked it, I actually got the jokes in the anime :)

Oh dear. The ending and opening songs. What can I say about them that hasn't already been said?

It makes me upset that all these people went to this trouble to dub Ouran and then they did the opening, sometimes it goes well sometimes it doesn't. Take FMA, if they had dubbed the opening and ending songs to that, it wouldn't early be as popular as it is now.

there are times when the english can't convert japanese words... i also think that english dubbers and the japanese differs completely in the way they deliver and express their feelings using words... but anyway, it's just my opinion and you'll be the one to decide.

If you enjoy a more cheesy and in your face anime with characters that are crazy over the top, I recommend the English Dub. Personally, I enjoy the Japanese Sub because the acting is far superior and the characters are more down to earth, making the emotional AND funny scenes more realistic and more enjoyable. But that is my personal opinion. So if you like a show with beautiful acting and good comedic timing, Japanese Sub is the way to go.
