^ Also ADV did it for the Dirty Pair OVA series. I'm pretty sure Sailor Moon's original M&E track still survives in usable form. Sailor Moon has been dubbed or re-dubbed in four other languages since 2010, and those didn't have issues with this. Besides, dubbing 200 episodes of a 20-year old anime with new M&W just wouldn't be worth it, not even for Sailor Moon. DiC did that for their dub (although the last 17 episodes kept the Japanese sound-effects), but that was only a few years after the anime came out, they were doing a very mainstream release, and they had lots of money from sponsors (and in general).

actually they did. they were the first ones to have the DBZ license and they had ocean studios do the dubbing for the series as well as the first three movies ( funi did the rest in the late 90's )and it took place long before funimation was on the map. and yes. there are those that still like watching it though for just for the nostalgic feeling which was why funi released them. dont know why,but they did. while people can forgive those dub edits, the CCS hackjob was another matter entirely. it cause of that abomination that nelvana is now the 2nd most hated dubbing company in the otaku community (the most hated is harmony gold for their dumbass moves that strangled the macross series for years) now that the horror that is 4kids have been finally sent six feet under and with NIS finally getting the license, those people that have been defending them in the forums cant anymore. though with the news that their using the old animax asia dub instead of a new dub like viz is doing with SM,it will remain to be seen if the TV series of CCS will sell well (though the movies will since they have been dubbed by Bang Zoom). |

And which was then used in the US Digimon movie (and included in full on the soundtrack) 
Even in Japan, the Kiddy Grade movies had redone sound effects rather than just splicing the audio and video whole cloth, presumably because they only had the combined M&E track and the editing would mess up the audio cues (although they sountrack still clearly suffered in places from being shoehorned into the edited films).
Jonathan Clements talks about recording pre-lay to "Leica Reels" a few times, once even describing his visit to watch a show being recorded. As ever, it is impossible to tell what the shows are or even what type of show, or how long ago it was (these mentions were all made in old Newtype USA columns). He also mentions having to deal with scripts containing ad-lib lines, which I assume you wouldn't get on afreco - but the one specific mention I believe was KO Century Beast Warriors, an OVA. |

I really can't stand that "all Americans are idiots" mentality they seem to have had for us in the 90s (I'm not sure about now, but I guess the way America is portrayed in Hetalia shows how they really feel). Besides, it's not like when they dumb down our cartoons, they make them any better. I'm pretty sure they rewrote scripts so that they would include mention of panties and other typical anime nonsense in stuff like My Gym Partner's a Monkey. Then again, eye for an eye, I can laugh at their attempts at voicing Marvel characters and the fact they really don't get our superheroes at all. |
