Good to hear that they're re-releasing X. The first disc of X was the very first DVD I bought, so I have a special place in my heart for it. Not to mention that it's a great show with gorgeous art.
Chiming in with others about a CCS release. While I snapped it up for $75 from Rightstuf a few years ago, there are still so many people out there who want it, and it's incredibly hard/expensive to find secondhand. If Funi won't release it without a dub, than maybe another company could rescue it, permitting the license isn't too expensive - Section23, Bandai, or Nozomi maybe? Myself - I'm hopingfor a Sailor Moon re-release, since I'm missing a couple disks for SuperS, and it's bugging me that I don't have the show completed. |

Ok, this is a little eerie in that I was just wondering about who would be cast as Scar and Al this morning. I knew Al would be since Aaron's voice dropped, and I figured they wouldn't get Dameon Clarke back since if I remember correctly he moved out to LA once the first show was done.
Maybe having most of the English cast back will help me actually get into this. The combination of seeing my favorite series as something decidedly different and the necessity of watching in Japanese made it too hard for me to maintain an interest in Brotherhood. I'd like to since I'm such a big fan of the first series, but it's tough. |

I was wondering when FUNi would actually start work on the dub and get some dvds out, already. I mean, the series already has 24 or so episodes out.
If they redub Initial D and it's good I will buy it. I also made the mistake of checking out Tokyopop's version, but they just made it far too crappy. I hated pretty much every change they made. Hopefully FUNi goes the smart route and just does season dvd sets, thinpack it right away and I will preorder the stuff.

I'm still hoping against hope that AS will pickup the dub of FMA Brotherhood after Moribito ends. The first series was a ratings hit, and AS will need another series after Moribito ends. Adult Swim, please pick up FMAB!

Good to see X picked up, but I was really hoping it would be picked up by someone that can competently encode a DVD. The thought of X with Funi video quality and a paper box is just too sad. But at least it will still be in print.
And on the bright side, the excellent Geneon release is still available in large quantities just about everywhere, including the original release and Remix Collection. Even all my local FYE's still have the original release. I don't see the point in redubbing Initial D. I've heard bad things about the dub, but I don't see how it will sell enough for Funi to warrant the added cost. I wonder if they couldn't get the original dub for some reason, or if perhaps they may have been required to redub it. But it's ultimately up to them to decide. Sad to see Alphonse get recast, but I can understand how it was necessary. If you're talked to him at a con in the last year or two, you know his voice is way to deep to do Al. Even Vic made a joke about Eric's voice being deeper than his..lol |

I wouldn't mind since it'd be my preferred method for seeing the show since I haven't been able to make myself sit in front of the computer for it beyond the first few episodes. That said, I'm doubtful. It certainly has a better shot than most considering the first FMA did well for them, but the fact that they never picked up the movie leaves me skeptical about it. I would think that the conclusion of a well-received show would be a no-brainer, but maybe they just don't want to show anime movies and a series would go over better? |

I just had a huge spaz moment because I REALLY wanted Maxey Whitehead as Al. So much. This is like the third voice casting
I've wanted that actually happened. The other 2 were Gino and Anya from Code Geass R2. |

Initial D not only needs a redub, it's needs a resub. Bad dubbing is one thing for an anime fan, but deliberately inaccurate subbing is another. Sorry, but I'm hoping FUNimation will do everything they can to make sure this Initial D release is the definitive one. Why should we have to put up with a "tricked out" version of an anime that served no purpose other than to cash in on The Fast and the Furious craze? |
