Hi hello I was toying with the idea of subbing this drama so here's one of my favourite parts from it:

Floating Youth (冰球少年) Ep 1

English Dub | Original Chinese (no subs) | Indo subs

When you encounter a lava lake while mining, remember ECLAIR:

EVACUATE: Back up to give yourself enough time and distance to respond appropriately. Remember, lava is much slower than you, and is only dangerous if you touch it!

CONTAIN: Place dirt or stone between yourself and the lava to separate it from the rest of the mine. If the lava touched anything flammable, use your Emergency Water Bucket to extinguish the fire. Don't forget to replace any torches that were broken by use of the Emergency Water Bucket.

LEAVE: Exit the tunnel intersecting the lava lake and move on to the next one. Never dig perpendicular to a known source of lava!

APPROACH: Using your existing tunnel pattern as a guideline, carefully dig toward the lava from opposite sides until the boundaries of the lake are adequately mapped.

ILLUMINATE: Make sure the location of the lake is clearly marked and signposted. Duplicate or alter normal logistical signs as necessary to direct foot-traffic around the affected area. (Consult your Employee Handbook for specific signposting guidelines.)

RETURN: Go back to normal mining activities.

A little bit of laughing at Bad here but that's the kind of funny you can't stop smiling about in the middle of the street

When Bad talking French sounds like he's gonna break into tears

Following this clip is Bad trying to gaslight Etoiles and failing, resulting in Etoiles gaslighting him instead

----------------------

Transcription ↓

BadBoyHalo: How do I say "Why have you not invited me over" ?

Etoiles: Euh- euh, "Pourquoi tu m'as pas invité à la maison". "Pourquoi", repeat after me

B: "Pourquoi"

E: "tu m'as"

B [hesitating]: "tu m'as"

E: "pas invité"

B [sounding sad] : "pas invité"

E: Parfait, perfect, "à la maison"

B [sounding extremely sad] : "à la maison"

E [laughing] : What the- What is this voice ? It's [imitating Bad] "à- à la maison, pourquoi tu m'as pas invité"

Foolish [laughing]: it sounds to me like-

B [sounding like he's gonna cry] : "à la maison"

F: he's copying it like fancy

B: whAT?!

E [making fun of Bad] : "p- p- pourquoi"

B: I'm copying your French vernacular, leave me alone

F: No, no, what you're doing is like, you're like copying it but then you throw out like a monocle and top hat and start doing it

drew this all the way back in november, before i wrote the ending to recondite; this is what i originally planned in my vague outline, but the fic ended up going in a different direction, so this is inaccurate now. think of this as an alternate ending for funsies i guess VGEAIVGIY

THE LION KING ― [ muse a ] and [ muse b ] are childhood best friends. they used to spend almost every day together until [ muse a ] had to leave town and has never come back since. one day, [ muse b ] comes looking for [ muse a ] because of some trouble at home. although it took some time, [ muse b ] finally finds [ muse a ], but [ muse a ] doesn't want to come back. [ muse a ] explains to [ muse b ] what happened all those years ago that made them leave their home; and that this is the reason why they can never come back. [ muse b ] is surprised by that, but still determined to get [ muse a ] to come with them because now that they finally have them back in their life, they don't want them to be gone again.

THE LITTLE MERMAID ― [ muse a ] and [ muse b ] metaphorically are from different worlds. [ muse a ] has been fascinated by [ muse b ]'s world and their differences for a long time, while [ muse b ] has no idea [ muse a ] even exists. this changes when [ muse b ] gets into a life-threatening situation and [ muse a ] who happens to be there at the time saves them. however, [ muse a ] leaves before [ muse b ] can see them, and although [ muse b ] has no recollection of that moment, they wish to find who has saved their life. meanwhile, [ muse a ] is unable to forget about [ muse b ] which leads to them going back to [ muse b ]'s world, hoping to overcome their many differences and get [ muse b ] to like them in the short amount of time [ muse a ] has before they have to go back to their world.

ALADDIN ― [ muse a ] is a rich person from a wealthy and influential family, while [ muse b ] is a poor person who has had to take care of themself since they were a child. randomly, [ muse a ] and [ muse b ] paths cross and they find an immediate connection between them. but since they are from such different backgrounds, they can't be together. this results in [ muse b ] pretending to be somebody else, someone worthy of being around [ muse a ]. surprisingly, they are able to fool everyone with this scheme ... everyone except [ muse a ].

CINDERELLA ― [ muse a ] hasn't always had it easy living with their last remaining relatives who treated them like dirt. but everything changes one evening when they sneak out to a masquerade party hosted by [ muse b ]. they start talking and have a generally good time, but when [ muse a ] notices their time is over, they have to leave [ muse b ] without another word, and without ever telling them who they are. in their haste, [ muse a ] leaves behind one item that will eventually help [ muse b ] to find them. so [ muse b ], determined to figure out who [ muse a ] is, goes off in search of them until finally the item [ muse a ] has lost brings the two of them back together.

whats 4kids?

Anon you grew up with good dubs.

4kids was an american licensing company that used to own the rights to and dub lots of non-english shows, particularly a lot of anime. they're also very infamous for the ridiculous amounts of edits and such that they made to americanize the shows. like some of their most (in)famous dubs include: One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, some early seasons of Pokemon, Sonic X, and one of the English dubs for Winx Club's early seasons.

People often joke about them for bad dialogue and how ridiculous the censors were. Like especially in One Piece from what I've heard, because they had to physical alter the animation to remove blood and change every single gun to be a popgun or water pistol. Like here's a 2hr 40 minute video covering all the changes they made to OP. It wasn't a good time.

Speaking from what I know in the Sonic X and Winx Club side of things, the Winx dub is fairly disliked within the fandom for not being very faithful to the original. They changed a lot of scenes within the episode around and cut lots of stuff that honestly wasn't even that bad (as far as I'm aware this is something they did with their other dubs too). Also they changed some of the characters' personalities and loads of lore for absolutely no reason (okay one of the changes was probably to avoid the MC having a dead sister so they made the ghost of the sister be no relation but other than that).

Same in Sonic X particularly in the final season there was a pretty strict no death or sad things rule. While there was an instance of major character death in the finale that was entirely unavoidable, they still toned it down massively and removed a lot of the heavy grieving scenes connected to it. Also they removed two (very plot important) instances of children dying, one of which ironically ended up with Shadow being killed off in the finale due to the scene revealing he's still alive showing the grave of one of these characters being cut (it's a long story please don't ask me to explain Shadow the Hedgehog lore or it'll end up being longer than any of my project sekai essays).

Yeah so basically 4kids is like the epitome of bad dubbing and is a treated as a joke by. most people who grew up with it.

Oh also they changed all the music in the shows they dubbed which was also bad but gave us some really iconic songs like the original english pokemon theme.

And one last thing

See ensekai localisation isn't amazing but it could be worse. Especially if it was an anime and was dubbed 20 years ago.
