That Crimson Star Media guy... I don't know whether to laugh at the guy's foolishness or to feel sorry for him for digging himself into such a giant hole pursuing a dream so earnestly. Which seems to host's reactions too. Sounds like an absolute cluster screw for people like Neil who were peripherally involved.
I really enjoyed this episode. I loved hearing Neil talk about his philosophy on translating, and his stories about working in the industry. If he wants to ever be on the show again to talk about his work, or the theoretical "bad anime" episode, I'm definitely looking forward to it. |

I can feel that Mad Bull 34 will always show up on those bad anime episodes, but I just watched and enjoyed that OVA. It's horrible in most ways, but still hilarious and I loved that dub. It'd be great to see a BD of it someday, as I think it's still a rung above most of the other generically bad OVAs of old.

Mad Bull 34 isn't worse than say AD Police or Angel Cop. What really kills it is the dub. Such a shitty shitty dub. Even for early ninties standards it was shit. Funny but atrocious. I hope never to hear it again. And a BD version should it eventually come out should have a hopefully new and better dub. |

I found the dub hilariously cheesy and appropriate for the anime. You really only need Sleepy and Daizaburo's voices, and I felt they both worked for better or worse, bad accents as all. I'm not sure I'd want to see it redubbed, why bother?

Hey, thanks for all the good vibes coming from the comments. I enjoyed being on the podcast and I'm really glad some of you found it interesting. Me, I'm always amazed that people want to listen to me at all.
As far as the whole Corey Maddox thing, I just had to laugh. I really could have used the money from that thing the month it all went down, but all I really lost was some time and effort for a couple weeks when I didn't have another project to do. I still feel sorry for that kid, because nobody's life should get ruined over anime. And I'd love to talk about bad anime, if only to crowd source new ideas for the Totally Lame Anime panel I like to do. |

Funny thing: in all the arguing I did with Cliff about that one stupid line, I learned that the AK-74's chief difference with the AK-47 is that it fires 7.62mm ammo and is visually almost identical to the old gunm save for a slightly longer flash suppressor on the end of the barrel. Lo and behold, the animators actually did take the trouble to draw that suppressor correctly, so the CIA agent/archeologist/hot babe with a gun in the movie wasn't mistaken about the weapons they were using. I still own a copy of Small Arms of the World for reference. |

Buddy, even if the acting is a bit off the script totally fits the kitsch of the show. Loose cannon cops who don't play by the rules in pre-Giuliani New York as envisioned by the Japanese? Swearing up and down would be the only acceptable way to dub them! Though I will say, the one true "bad" performance is Lisa Ross as Perrine, as she gives up by episode 3 and defaults to a British accent. And I wouldn't get your hopes up for a BD. Mad Bull (the anime that is) is practically a non entity in Japan, and Discotek's DVD was clearly culled from old analog video materials. I wouldn't be surprised if Magic Bus or whoever through the film out long ago. |

Sorry Zac, I wasn't trying to insult you, but what I was perceiving sounded like exaggerated sighs. That's why I really was wondering if you were okay and not under the weather or going on two hours of sleep, because it seemed out of character for a host, and could see a guest as taking it the wrong way. I don't listen to podcasts to pick apart hosts I don't like, I have better things to do with my time, so I was genuinely curious to see if other people were hearing what I was hearing. I do see how what I wrote can read that way, so apologies again, that's not what I intended. |

Well at least you can get a Bad Debt tax deduction for 2013 I guess to soften that blow.

That is pretty annoying and I don't feel like pausing on every single frame for that stuff.
I loved Usenet and was even once complimented on being the top poster on rec.arts.animation.
Doesn't surprise me, I'm sure that happens a lot.
At least that's one thing to take away from the film that made sense regardless of the confusion Neil had to sort through.
That's assuming we're talking the original camera negatives here. If those are still safe in some vault in Tokyo, perhaps it's more a hassle of not getting around to digging that out and merely sending over a video master anyway.
See why anime isn't worth it, kids?

It's nice when it's a tune only I know of. I've been digging the past few ANNCast calling attention to classic cartoons of the 60's personally. |
