NEWS: Crunchyroll to Stream 3 Makoto Shinkai Works on 2/28

Okay I just had to make a account, just to talk back to you people that seem to have it out for CR....first of all ANN didn't tell u all the details in the lil news about the shinkai day release......yes its 3 movies and it will run for 24 hours from firday evening to saturday evening.......its free for everyone in all of the regions, don't have to be a member at all to view and since its for shinkai day the standard video stream everyone gets is 480p......so everyone can watch it at 480p even though ur not a member and different regions have no problems gettting it either....

I've watched 5 Centimeters Per Second during anime club, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. Anime Milwaukee is this weekend, but I'll be sure to sneak in some Shinkai in there.

You know, you seem to always defend the dub script no matter how far it strays from the original as well as condoning re-writing entire lines, which btw is not "translation". It's called making $hit up. If a fansub did the same you'd be jumping up and down in fits referring to Otaking and pointing out how untrustworthy the fansub translations are.

There are times when rewrites are NECESSARY. Remember that translation is NOT an exact science. In the instances of the Makoto Shinkai trilogy, the original lines might not have translated well, and so the rewrites were necessary. The lines still fit the work perfectly well.

Prove me wrong.

As for the dub, I though that ADV's dub was great. I had no complaints about it. Hopefully the new cast did a good job, but I think that it's a pity that the original dub wasn't kept. I would have thought that it would be cheaper to buy the old dub from ADV

...The fact that Comix Wave ordered a complete do-over on the dub because the lines didn't fit the work perfectly well isn't proof enough?

Saying something's a fact doesn't make it one.

The lines DID fit the work perfectly; ADV's dub was perfectly fine; that settles it. They could've just saved the money and used the already existing dub instead of making a new one.

If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT!
