That's because FUNi used to do use two sets of subtitles; one a dubtitle script for the hearing impaired, and another one for the actual translation.
Switch the subtitles on your DVD player. |

On top of this, their more recent titles, starting with Samurai 7 don't include dubtitles.
Gone are the days people learn things for good reasons. |

According to Vic Mignogna at the FMA panel in Boston, the original cast will be returning for TSR. He wouldn't say at that point who had licensed it, but he did say that the original cast should be in it, as far as he knew.

Makes you wonder what is going on with ADV to let a major title of theirs go like this and the fact that there has been very little activity from them so far this year.

Yes, there are two Subtitle tracks for the GXP DVDs, but the second is not accessible directly from the DVD's menu (the available options are ON (Subtitle Track 1) and OFF (Subtitles Disabled). Past the lack of a menu option for Signs Only or hearing-impaired subtitles, regardless if it is a signs only track, dubtitle track, or a true subtitle, that's no reason to add non-existant lines or omit existing ones.
I won't argue it if you believe it to be bad for a person to learn and come to understand a language that they did not grow up immersed in, but I will say that once I began taking the class, I found myself enjoying it more than classes of my own PFOS. Enough so to begin considering changing majors. |

See? See? I told y'all ADV wouldn't get The Second Raid. But no~oo, you all balked at me and called me "insane" and said my claims were "unfounded."
Well who's balking now?

I think he means that wanting to learn Japanese just to understand anime without subtitles is a silly reason to learn a language. You made it sound like that's the main reason you learned it. If it is, then I agree with him. |

I wonder if we were watching the same Fruits Basket because its dubbing was so horrible it cracked my windows. Hands down the worst dub I've ever heard. The secret of their success? Tokyopop shares the same secret since they inturn mutilated the Fruits basket Manga. I think both companies have been very fortunate to pick up titles made popular by fansubs and scanlations and many poor Japanese illiterate fans have no alternative but to buy them. |

Yes, it's all part of the master plan. Good job in finding them out. I swear, some people are never satisfied. |

Never satisfied with what? My right, as a consumer, to a quality product? I dont think any of us are giving that up anytime soon. |

The secret of Funimations success is Navare and the infusion of cash from said parent company. Coupled with the success of the first two series the license for FMP:TSR was probably quite a bit higher. Even if it wasn't I think FUNI has more money to spend. And they obviously wanted it so they paid.
They got BECK too, I'm sure that wasn't cheap. Having all three series would have been nice for ADV though, I was looking forward to that myself. As long as they use the same actors I can deal. P.S. The Fruits Baskets dub was dreadful. B. |

And they gave you a sub option. Problem solved. Sure it has a few faults, but to call it the worst dub ever is a far,far stretch. You can't honestly say it's as bad as the stuff 4Kids churns out and most 90s dubs. If you can honestly call it the worst dub ever then you must be watching nothing but very good dubs Still, I considered most of the cast to fit the rolls they were given, except Ritsu.. |

Not that Funi is a bad company, and I won't hesitate to give them my money for TSR...I just wanted a complete, uniform set of FMP! DVDs all from ADV. It seems like Funimation does have the deep pockets these days...they can apparently afford to take the risk now known as
