I love MXC but they dubbed that badly on purpose for comedy.
You did, Sailor Moon boy.
I've heard Takeshi's Castle is pretty good -- I guess they play it places in Europe -- but MXC is intentionally dubbed differently, and it's hilarious. I'm gonna miss it, since my damn dorm room only gets like twelve channels, and half of 'em are doubles.
And then there is Death
One prime example is Escaflowne.
I was hooked on this in its original Fox Kids run, only to hear that it was a horribly butchered version. I didn't find out until a few years later when I downloaded it how true that was. They cut out pretty much the entire first episode, then cut up bits an pieces of multiple episodes and compiled them into one. It was horrible, considering how amazing of a series that was.
Generally I don't care a whole lot about mistranslations. I'll usually watch stuff happily in naivete. With that one, though, they completely screwed it up.
The thing is that the show is hilarious in the first place, and Kitano's sense of humor is definately better than the guys dubbing Most Extreme Challenge.
What backstory?
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
Really? The real show is better than MXC? Damn, I'll have to get my hands on a few copies of that.The thing is that the show is hilarious in the first place, and Kitano's sense of humor is definately better than the guys dubbing Most Extreme Challenge.
All things considered, the amount of complaining about raped anime films/series/OVA's is actually quite small when compared to how many of them are actually translated and marketed in the US and/or UK.
Quit bitching about bitching; all you get is more bitching. :|
