I'M BAAAAAACKK.
HEH HEH
A couple of things I've been wondering about anime related and I just wanted to get it out there before I forget.
I heard that Twilight has mentioned this but I'm going to again anyway.
The anime One Piece has been dubbed and put on (of all networks) Fox Box. I haven't been able to watch it for a while because it was on at a ridiculous 8:30 AM time slot but they pushed it forward an hour and I caught it yesterday.
I think that the voices are good but the acting is terrible but nothing I couldn't get used to. My prediction that VIZ would dub the show turned out wrong. Don't know the company but it's dubbed by the same people who do Yugi yo or however the hell you spell that shit.
Anyway I blame this company for the overdone editing and unnecessary deleting of scenes. I know that the next weeks episode involves some violent sword fighting so after watching it I'll know for sure how badly the editing is.
ALSO. I can't tell if it's the voice direction or not but Zoro's name is pronounced Zolo. Now I hope that's not how the English dub spells it too because that would be a little like everyone spelling Ranma, Lanma simply because of a lot of characters pronounce it that way.
What's next making them talk with Japanese accents??
Anyway the show, One Piece is the a numero uno anime in Japan and has a lot of potential here in America. To bad though so far I'm not impressed with the way it's being cut up..... You think I'd be used to this type of thing already but I'm not. Not when really good stuff gets damaged. I couldn't care less about the dubbing of the beyblades/ digimon gotta buy them all crapfests that give animes in general a bad name the networks usually decide to translate. This anime deserves better. If it was on Adult Swim I don’t think it would need to be cut at all. Ahh the irony of it. Atleast Richard Cox is not voicing any of the main characters which was the give away that this was not Viz that was translating.
O YEAH. How could I do a full fledge rant without complaining about the One Piece opening theme which is rap.. uggh. Pardon me while I throw up.
BLLAAAAUHHSAH ><
Ok I'm done and in case your wondering, yes I'm back because I'm going to submit a new flash in a few days and don't want to seem completely shameless. :P
It's not a huge thing like The Lost Dojo just a short about Kuno I put together using old clips from my previous RID episodes. But I'm sure people who liked the RID stuff will enjoy it. Besides I'm in need of a buzz and submitting a quickie was the best way to go--er--- that didn't sound right at all.
Well. Good to be back.
