Instead of just importing a show and subbing or dubbing it, we should have random American companies buying the licenses to like 5 random seasons from 5 random animes, cutting them into pieces and Frankensteining them into one show with a new dubbed narrative that has nothing to do with the original source material, all with the sole purpose of selling old Japanese toys to American kids
Instead of Naruto and One Piece we could have Pirate Ninja Battleforce where Naruto and Luffy are brothers named Chuck and Bronson. Every once in a while there’s a fight scene from Neon Genesis Evangelion spliced in
This really happened? That’s so weird…
In Portugal they they did air the whole Dragon Ball series (og, Z and GT) but with the dub being very far from the original. Essencially the Voice Actors kinda improvised along the way and filled it with Portuguese references. It ended up becoming a hit with young and old stopping what they were doing when a new episode aired in the afternoons. Still remember sitting in the school cafeteria with teachers, cleaners and kitchen staff all watching Frieza scream at goku like a little removed (they dubbed him with a super high pitch voice). Good times…
Is this why every country that speaks Portuguese is very obsessed with DBZ, including adults?
