Stop Re-Dubbing Classic Anime!

I recently started rewatching a “remastered” anime classic that I grew up with – Gundam SEED.  It was a little flawed, and basically a remake of the original series, but it was still fun.  However, there was just one little fly in the ointment – the dub.  I watch my anime dubbed.  Not ashamed about that.  I refuse to read an entire series.  For some of my favorite classic anime, that makes it…

Voice headcannon idea if Storm Hawks ever gets redubbed

Sam Vincent (Who was both Aerrow and Dark Ace, Athrun Zala from Gundam SEED and Martin Mystery) as Lightning Strike

I figured i'd take a page off of Yashahime's dub when they brought back Inuyasha's dub voice actors for that anime.

So i figured why not have Sam as Lightning Strike since it fits and plus thanks to the headcannon voices i gave Ace and Aerrow, we don't have to worry about having Sam go back and forth if i did reprisals in this headcannon for the main protags.

How will this work you ask since we see a little of him. Simple, in the headcannon i envisioned Origins would be a two parter that would have Lightning Strike and the rest of the OG Storm Hawks appear until the battle on Cyclonia happens close to the end of p1 in said headcannon two parter. ^^

I now believe that SEED’s re-dub actors/staff are Gungans. Good frigging Lord.

No wonder this shit was released in 2020.

Gundam SEED redub is going to be worse than I originally imagined

So I came upon this video where the (it pains me to write this) new VAs for Athrun and Nicol and this other guy were live streaming themselves playing DWG. A few things they revealed: 

1) The pronunciation of character names will be changed 

It’s really so cringey...like they’re really trying to mimic the Japanese pronunciations: Nih-ko-l (new) vs Nickel (old). Ya-mo-to (new) vs Yah-ma-to. It was so bad, they even said Lacus’ name weirdly. It sounds great in Japanese (with their distinct tones and inflections), but I don’t know how they expect Americans to replicate the same thing for an English dub without sounding like foreigners...come on...make the dub your own don’t do this dub as if it were the Japanese voices speaking English...

2) Athrun’s and Nicol’s new voices definitely do not fit! 

This new dub is going to be sooo cringey

I'm sad you weren't brought back as Shani in the Gundam SEED redub :(

Sorry you were sad.

Am I the only person on the fucking planet who likes the Gundam Seed redub? Max is great as Kira, after hearing his work as Ryuji I was psyched to see him in this and so far he hasn’t let me down. I’ve met Nicol’s new VA in person and they’re great too. This is a lot of new talent and I feel like nobody wants to give them a chance.

“No matter how far we are, even if we never see each other again, every one of us is walking forward, trying to reach the light. We must keep walking. In my heart, i believe that is our duty for the family members who gave their lives in the hopes that we would find happiness. [...] Even if it will be forgotten with the passage of time, I love this world that the members of Tekkadan made for us. I love this world, this beautiful world that you left for us.”

-          Kudelia Aina Bernstein, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans (Ep. 50)

The Toonami Trending Rundown for April 28-29, 2018. The Tekkadan have one last bow as this installment of the Gundam franchise in Iron Blooded Orphans comes to a close. Meanwhile, among other great moments, Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks have another round against Zamazu and Black in their so called “Divine Justice” crusade, while Gon goes dating with Palm, and Asta and co. meets the Wizard King as well as Noelle’s abusive family.

In terms of trending, the droughts would continue through this week, as #Toonami would be the only thing that trended on both Twitter in the US and Tumblr.

This week, Toonami showcased the trailer for the long awaited television debut of My Hero Academia, which premieres this Saturday at 11:30pm Eastern, which you can see below. It has also been confirmed that FLCL will be staying at midnight through the world premiere of season 2 as Toonami has opted to have MHA follow DBZ in back to back timeslots perhaps to give better ratings synergy as both are the two hottest Shonen Jump franchises right now. Similarly, as Black Clover gels well with Naruto so to speak, it will switch places with Hunter x Hunter, as the former will move to 1:30, while HxH moves up to 1am.

Toonami also showcased a behind the scenes interview with several of the FLCL creators. An extended version of the interview that was shown on tv was released on their Facebook page.

In Attack on Titan news, Pony Canyon and WIT studios have released a new trailer for the upcoming third season, with the announcement that the new season will premiere in Japan on July 22. FUNimation has announced that they do plan on simulcasting the new season. No word yet on they plan on creating a simuldub and airing the new season on Toonami as of now.

And to commemorate Cowboy Bebop's 20th anniversary, FUNimation has decided to create not 1, not 2, but 3 different 20th Anniversary Collector’s Editions for fans to pre-order within the next month. There is a catch, as a specific collector’s edition must have at least 1,000 pre-orders in order for it to be manufactured, and if it doesn’t, you get refunded. To see the options and make a preorder if you’re interested, check out funi.to/bebop20 for more information.

The Gundam franchise has been a staple for the better cartoon show throughout its history, with entries achieving varying degrees of success back during the previous Golden Age for Toonami in the early 2000’s. Despite heavy requests to see Gundam’s return, fans would have to wait awhile for Gundam’s return, due to the closure of Bandai Entertainment and Sunrise’s realignment of strategy for the North American market, following Toonami’s revival. Gundam’s return did eventually came, as Sunrise would send Toonami their then most recent TV hit in Iron Blooded Orphans.

While IBO’s reception wasn’t as big as say Wing, the show still had some good reception from Toonami fans, and would lead to the airing of Gundam Unicorn during IBO’s offseason in early 2017, and during Anime Expo 2017, Toonami and Sunrise announced that Iron Blooded Orphans would indeed continue, later announcing the premiere of season 2 on October 7.

25 additional weeks of the Tekkadan’s quest on Gjallarhorn and Martian reform, and now we can say that the “Post Disaster” era is in the books. During season 2’s run, #GundamIBO successfully trended in some capacity with the exception of week 23, including in the US for the first 21 weeks. On the other hand, Gundam was not able to produce a character or in-show content trend.

Sunrise has been hard at work releasing Blu-ray and DVD re-releases of Gundam classics including G Gundam and Gundam Wing, as well as doing a remaster and redub of the Gundam Seed series, as well as releasing other modern installments including Thunderbolt and Build Fighters, so for those craving more Gundam, feel free to check those out. Whether Toonami will bring in one of these classics or an upcoming installment down the line, we will see, but given Toonami’s history with this franchise, I’m pretty confident we’ll see the next installment sooner or later.

Tune in Saturday as My Hero Academia makes its long awaited debut on the better cartoon show, among other great moments. Until next week, thanks for the memories, Tekkadan, and stay gold.

You know the even stupider thing about them redubbing Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny is that 

Even though Gundam Seed as a show is bad or at least not as good as other Gundam shows

THE DUB WAS COMPLETELY FINE

THE DUB WASN’T EVEN REMOTELY BAD

IT DOESN’T REQUIRE A REDUB AT ALL!

Heard about the Gundam SEED redub today and went ahead and watched like 28 episodes of the sub on Hulu in an all day marathon so... That happened. I still have the same ships. I apparently have Feelings about them and yell at characters a lot. Not an episode goes by where I don't call Flay a bitch. She's even worse now that I'm older. My god. She's horrible. I might be able to finish tomorrow? But Hulu doesn't automatically skip the intro. Which is okay because I love all of them (and now I'm up to Believe which is a FANTASTIC song) but that's also minutes that could be trimmed. I don't need to know what's going to happen or what just happened. IM MARATHONING. Also my playlists are going to get another surge of anime songs, I know it.

// It’s dubious dub Wednesday over on the Nozomi Twitter...

I just had to pause it at 1:41 because Nicol yells “DIRKA” instead of ‘Dearka’ and I am deceased.

Oh lawd he did it again.

Is that how it’s going to be for the whole dub?

@dearkaelsman​ ready your axe.

Me everytime I remember another SEED reflub/redub clip is coming

[fortune-maiden]

Gundam Seed is getting a redub? What?

[capnsingh]

Gundam SEED Redub?

Oh my, this news certainly was a rollarcoaster of emotions...I absolutely LOVED the old cast of SEED! Matt Hill’s voice was so hot and fit Kira really well and Chantal Strand! Who could ever beat her? I’m really disappointed that of all people to be casted as Lacus they put Stephanie Sheh...her voice definitely does not suit Lacus! She was horrible as Audrey from Gundam Unicorn! Her voice cannot match the powerful job Chantal Strand did! 

-sigh- Why could they not just recast the old cast? 

I think I would have given it a chance had Sheh not been casted as Lacus...but honestly, Canadian dubs were way better... 

[richardiancox]

Thoughts on Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny being redubbed for its HD Remaster release by the cast that dubbed Gundam: IBO (one of the recently made Gundam series out today)?

I thought the Vancouver cast did an excellent job on the original shows' dubs.

[melodypictures]

  Finished rewatching Gundam Seed and I am very salty that they redubbed this, original cast was gold!
