NEWS: New Video Group to Release Digimon Adventure Season 1 on DVD

Quote:

They inserted comedic sound effects and music when Wizarmon died.

No they didn't. Does it sound different? Yes, but it's definitely not "comedic sound effects and music".

I just think that the Digimon dub is a product of it's time.

For me, I'm a Digimon fan, of either version. So I'm gonna pick up the dub set, and I'm gonna LOVE it. But if I can find a way to contact New Video after purchase, I'll definitely be informing them of my likes, dislikes, and my desire to eventually have a subtitled release as well. There's nothing wrong with reaching for more - just go in understanding how unlikely it is at this point.

And in all honesty, bad guys deaths were overly gruesome anyway and no one really cared about them anyway... you're actually not supposed to care for them, so I don't get why editing their deaths is so "important."

That someone is complaining about a series for like 7 year olds being made less mature, I think is rather hilarious.

It truly is amazing the length people go to to defend censorship.

Translated: "It's for kids, who cares".

Just be happy Funimation didn't think that way when it came to One Piece like 4Kids did.

You say that like One Piece and Digimon are for the same audience.

Toning down some things here and there in Digimon does not make it any less mature, because it wasn't to begin with.

The fact that you're so up in arms about it (to the point of straight up lying) just makes you look like someone who desperately wants to justify his watching of childrens' cartoons. If the dub had hurt the series in any significant way, I would care, age group regardless. But it doesn't. It is a totally adequate dub. Enurtsol put it best up there, weaboo tinted glasses are just as bad as nostalgia.

Since Saban didn't hack up Digimon to an incomprehensible mess, your comparison's a complete non sequitur.

They are. In fact, they were both produced by Toei, aired on Fuji TV, and aired on the same Sunday morning cartoon block. But I'm sure you'll tell me how that means nothing.

By definition, if you remove or tone down the mature themes, it has to be less mature. You just refuted your own point with that statement.

If you don't find it mature that's your own issue I suppose, but to me, dealing with issues like suicide, accepting death, realistic family themes, the ethics of killing people, being rejected/disowned by your family, accepting a step-parent replacing your real parent, and other themes was enough to make it mature in my eyes, and it was a shame they got severely dumbed down or flat out removed in the dub.

I don't have to justify anything, especially not to someone who actively advocates the practice of censorship, and especially not to someone who uses the word 'child' as some kind of term of disapproval. But, given how people magically 'forgot' things that got censored out of the show, I have to question just how knowledgeable they are of the original version (for the record, you not remembering a censored part doesn't mean I lied about it) So their judgement is suspect.

Then again you resorted to using the 'weeaboo' word so I suppose Japanese Godwin's Law is in full effect now, meaning you have no actual points to make anymore since you resorted to that.

So you've never seen it, got it. Not even 4Kids mashed 3 unrelated movies together to form 1 movie then changed the entire plot of it to something else. That's got to be a record.

It could turn out to be fake, but a friend over on the FUNi Forums found this via a post on Toonzone.

If it's not a mislead, it looks like the Japanese version might get a release after all, just on smaller sets.

....*eyes page and description* 0_0!!!! Looking at the price, I hope (if real) it doesn't turn out to be singles! Maybe just arcs, but either way, I'll take what I can get!! Just hopefully not dubtitles... I heard Hulu does that, using dub terms, even though it's obviously not what they're saying in Japanese.
