Trigun would like to have a word with you, as would Cromartie High School and Cowboy Bebop.

Arguably, so would Shinchan, but that's more of a Gag Dub. Again, this is all subjective, but still.

True, but dubs haven't sucked that badly for a long time. Like, since... 1995. I would argue that it's a stereotype that could do with some adjustment.

(EDIT: whoa that was stupidly worded.)

Granted twice, but you can only write text to the new space, and the cord is for a different brand of phone.

I wish my A/C worked better. D:

Wiki Magic!
4Kids Entertainment licensed the series (One Piece) for an English language dubbed broadcast and release in North America. The 4Kids episodes aired in the United States on the Fox network as part of the Fox Box block, premiering on September 18, 2004. The first 143 episodes of the original were cut down to 104 in the dubbed version. The remaining content was subject to heavy editing



Remember, all it takes is one bad major dubbing group to poison the image for everyone.

And don't even get me started on what Nelvana did to Card Captor Sakura.


The issue here is that 4kids localized One Piece as a kids' show. (and CCS as a... boy's action... thing? I have no idea, it wasn't my thing in either language. D: )

Unfortunately, children's shows in the US generally don't include things like guns pointed at people's heads or smoking, because apparently these things cause kids' heads to explode in America. If they localized it aimed at teenagers, then we wouldn't get as fucked-up of an adaptation. But then again, from the perspective of the suits at 4kids, a kid is more likely to identify with a rubber-band-boy pirate's adventures for magical treasure than a teenager is, because kids like silly things like that.

Meanwhile....

I'd personally disagree on that. I actually prefer the dub of Trigun, because 1: Vash's English VA puts in a bit more effort than his Japanese one, and 2: Milly doesn't sound like she's 3. She's still a ditzy airhead, but her voice matches her (holy shit tall) body. True, that was part of the joke in the original, but that really, honestly fell flat with me. Reiterated: This is subjective.

Now, I'm an LOL noob and all, but... >>; Me and Kog'maw would like to have a word with you, from about two hundred feet away, with a team backing us up and blue buff.

Anyway... I can't get into HoN because of the community. I've played with some new players on LoL who make the same mistakes I do, and the general feel is a whole lot less... cutthroat. Much more like, well... a game.

Posted on 07-08-10 11:24:46 AM, in Child in 'extensive therapy' after reading manga Link
I read the subject of this, and I REALLY wanted to make a snarky comic about a manga that I don't like. Like, "Yeah, I needed therapy after I tried to convince myself that Death Note was worth reading." But I came up short.

Well, of course she does! Barak Whosame Obana is the craziest Muslin ever to come out of Kemya.

(In sum: I have nothing of value to post in this thread, save for "bitch be crazy.")
