Not quite as funny as last time, but still pretty good. I think Blood: TLV was also a better one to showcase anime to the public than GITS (which really just seemed to highlight nudity, violence, and........fish
 ). Seems Bang-Zoom noticed some increased interest as well, so it'll be interesting to see if this one has any noticeable effect.

I wonder what they will be dubbing this time. While one side of me liked the skit they did, the other side now is kinda upset they were mocking a popular form of entertainment.

Was anyone else sort of baffled by why they were dubbing scenes that are already in English? Sure, the English dialog and acting sort of sucks, but redoing it in the original language is... odd. Also, Bang Zoom! does not "make" anime, they dub it; I assume that's a slip of the tongue.
As someone who wasn't a big fan of the "movie" to begin with, I thought their interpretation was a huge improvement. I laughed my head off over their dialog. I wonder if they got a chance to plan ahead this time. Anyway, I for one vote that this is be a regular bit on the show from now on. Once every other month they go in and dub a well-known anime. I vote for something Evangelion next time. |

Well, they can only do anything that Bang Zoom has handled. So some recent potentials would be: Haruhi, Gurren Lagann, Ghost Slayers A., FLAG, etc. As for dubbing scenes already in English, IIRC a company official once said they're legally obligated to do that for various reasons, probably due to licensing issues. |

Ah, I did not know that. Thanks for the info! As much as I don't think much of the movie itself, the gorgeous animation will look awesome in high def. |

If they keep going with these periodic visits to Bang Zoom!, they might as well just do an entire fandub episode or movie. With their comedic talent, Conan and Andy could probably produce something really great. Although I'm not sure how they could distribute it...just a thought, anyway.

Oh, this was nothing compared to Conan and Andy's first visit to Bang! Zoom--in terms of "mocking" the otaku culture, they were out-and-out hilariously brutal a month ago.
Now this...can you just imagine what Conan and Andy would do with Mikuru Asahina's introduction scene in episode 1 of TMoHS? (as opposed to episode 00--though I don't know whether the Conan audience would find the "amateur film" ep more titillating or just plain confusing.) Either way, THAT would be comedic platinum. I'd even settle for them parody-dubbing Lucky Star. |

First The Tonight Show, Tommrow the World!
that was awsome, finaly some other program influences anime. I vote for them to go to Funimation Studieos, and interview auctual voice actors. Last edited by InuNaruPokeAlchemist on Wed Sep 23, 2009 4:29 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I would love them to do a fake dub for Haruhi or Lucky Star Get Crispen with them and it will be a laugh riot for sure. I hope they keep the gag running this could help boost people's interest in anime. Or just make things funny, I mean I enjoyed both clips and I rather don't find most late night t.v funny. |

I saw the parody last night and today here in the internet. It was so funny how they did a re-dub of Blood: the last vampire. I was laughing when they started with the title screen. lol.
Yeah, I would also vote that they do a haruhi suzumiya or lucky star re-voice over. that would be really funny. |

Bang Zoom! was only picked because it was right down the street, in Burbank, Califorina. O'Brien isn't going fly or have someone fly from Fort Worth, Texas just to talk about anime. Sadly the vast majority of the audience could care less. This is as close as you are going to get with the anime industry on Conan O'Brien. Personally I found these skits to be hilarious, and those who are hating it simply because it is in English should at least give it a try, not everything dubbed in English is the same. |

I agree with this. I generally won't touch dubs with a ten-foot pole (sorry, I just like to watch foreign stuff in its original language - this applies to any language, live-action, or animated) but I absolutely loved the dub skits. To me, these dub skits aren't the same as watching an actual dub - it's done simply for a laugh and is a big joke, and the dialogue is absolutely hilarious in them. I personally don't get why some of us subbies are getting all snippy about them - they're a joke, and nothing more. |
