You realize how much of the plot the English dub for Spirited Away changed, right?

How so? Please, i'm interested.
The biggest one I can remember is the ending. Miyazaki himself stated that Chichiro did not remember her li'l adventure in the end. But the dub strongly suggests otherwise. In the sub, the film simply ended with Chihiro's father asking her to come back to the car. But in the dub siphoned through John Lasseter and Disney, this was changed. They went and took the opening scene and re-edited to "replay" it for the ending in a kind of deus ex machina manner to suggest that see had indeed remembered what happened. There are a few other changes but I think other people could do a better job at explaining them. I only saw the sub and dub once each.

So the main difference is that the ending is implied to be different from what it was originally intended?

I still think they did a good job on the English version of Spirited Away. I own it and I'm happy :)

Voices of a distant star too... but we're getting off topic.

If we do get a different Gendo, I won't mind as long as the new person does Gendo justice.

Here's an idea: Get all of the Japanese VAs to redub it for English themselves! Everyone will be talking broken English in thick Japanese accents, but it'll DEFINITELY be closer to the original that way!

Honestly, I'd love to hear something like that at least once.

lol, think of this. A bunch of Japanese south park fans hating on Japanese dubs of the show just like everyone does about english dubs.

...come to think of it, i think i saw someone doing that on youtube.

i can see why people would be mad, because by her not remembering, it's actually pretty depressing, as if she (and us) went through all of that, learned so many lessons and in the end she never remembers a thing. that's pretty depressing, so i could see Disney changing it to make it a bit more of an uplifting ending. I mean i can't really doubt miyazaki's genious, but i have to disagree with him on having a bit of a downer ending, it just seems out of place to have such an upbeat adventure with a downbeat ending.

BACK ON TOPIC!: If in fact these ticket sales represent a huge demand, could it be possible for these films to be extremely high grossing, if so just imagine how Gainax could milk it.

would you guys actually prefer a new dub, with all new voices, change a few voices, or keep the english dub as it is.

for me personally, as long as the changed Shinji's voice, and tiffany granted acted the way she did in EoE i'd be happy, and they really have to do away with Fuyutsuki's voice from EoE.

They should change every English VA. But in the end, I don't give a fuck, as I'll be listening to the Jap seiyus. The only reason I care a little is for the sake of some hard-headed people out there who still refuse to listen to anime the way it is meant, that is, in Japanese. I want them to experience something (the dub) better than the original series, even if it still won't be as good as listening to said thing in Jap.
In my case, I refuse to go easy on the ignorant, regardless of degree. Hitler was ignorant. Joshua C. Whatshisface is ignorant. To me, they're in the same category of ignorant and stupid people who should have been left in some isolated corner of the world where they couldn't bother anyone. --The Eva Monkey

So does this make me a hard head? :lol:

I like the subs, I just love listening to dubs also. I like hearing the story from both sides.

sorry i'm a hard head, but sometimes the emotion is lost when your stuck reading small words at the bottom of the screen.

seriously though, it's annoying for people who think they're so elite because they hate dubs. What about FLCL, the original Japanese voice director was on hand to watchover the english dub, meaning he wants others to enjoy and love what Japanese audiences got.

there's nothing wrong with dubs when they're done right.

If Gainax is good in one thing, that's exactly the "case of the milk!"

Ha, that was a nice joke! There are good dubs out there? :lol:


Seriously, in case of Eva, please someone shoot english-Ritsuko! The only one i can stand is Tiffany Grant and Alison Shipp.

And back on topic, unfortunately i live in Europe, so yeah. Stuck till a dvd release which is like wait-forever. :cry:

Seriously though, IMO there are no good dubs out there, a 7% percent of the whole 100%.

lol, how far could that case of milk take them, honestly i really could see gainax making an Angelic Days series, or even something that nobody could expect, a continuation or prequel to evangelion to coincide with the new fans of rebuild and regenerated interest from old fans.

no there is nothing wrong with dubs, there are good dubs, such as akira (new dub), Spirited Away and FLCL, it can easily be done, it's just that american distributers just don't spend the money to hire good voice actors.

as for stuck waiting, i'm positive there will be bootlegs avalible via bit torrent VERY quickly, with a fansub following soon after.

I don't think of myself as 'elite'. I'm saying that Japanese dubs are better than English dubs.

Of course. But, like you said, they have to be done right; which, sadly, isn't most of the time.

o yeah i agree, it really is painful to watch a good anime brought down by a shitty dub. For me if that's true i just switch on the subs, but for many people they just don't bother to watch.

Ditto. O_o (Great minds think alike??)

There ARE good dubs out there, the only ones that come to mind seeing as I've only seen a dubbed episode of each, is Excel Saga and Ai Yori Aoshi.
