Probably because they can't rename conspicuously Japanese children in a conspicuous Japan, in a specific point of the past, to bland Americans in Anytown, USA. And if they can't turn them into white Americans, they don't want it.


Yeah, we all know how terrible it was when Spirited Away got rehauled into a girl working at a gym's sauna. Rolling Eyes


He's probably referring to Arrietty where the J-characters were renamed in English. But then, The Borrowers are English to start with, so it was Ghibli who tried to market it in Japan by turning it Japanese. Laughing

Ghibli is producing the dub.


Has Ghibli ever dubbed stuff? Past Japanese dubbing experiences haven't been good. At least this dub has Western co-execs.

Great news! GKIDS also did the home release for Secret of Kells, if I recall correctly, and I'm still very grateful for that.


Anime fans should see Secret of Kells, given how they keep complaining for non-Hollywood stuff.
