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
Subs are superior because when I was 10 years old buying bootleg VHS tapes of Urusei Yatsura I thought I was cool because the ugly yellow subtitles had swear words
The world lost something when you could no longer go on obscure forums to buy shady VHS anime that was probably translated wrong
Planet Arus sure does look like Earth but it’s totally not!
Honestly the superior option is neither. Just power through in ignorance. I watched the new Takeshi’s Castle like that and now I can’t go back.
You mean the game show? Is the new series any good?
They showed the UK Craig Charles-narrated and heavily edited version of the old Takeshi’s Castle on a local channel here like 15 years ago
Some of the jokes were, uhh… a bit of their time. The phrase “Slappy Happy *appy Chappy” is burned into my brain
Amazing
