I doubt they're even aware of Gamergate. Maybe some westaboos are vaguely aware of it. In any event, it doesn't matter. Most of the audience will have no fucking clue what the line is even about. This makes it a shit translation. Not only isn't it accurate, it just doesn't even make any sense now, much less 10 years from now. Jamie Marchi literally just threw it in because she's an obsessed cunt with some weird fetish about it.
“Look! I can see their parachutes! They’re okay.”
Wanna know another show whose references haven't held up
Ghost Stories lives on for being unabashedly offensive despite dated references. Those Who Hunt Elves... hasn't. Been watching it, and it's weird. Probably embodies the worst of ADV and of the time period it was dubbed in. I think it's inoffensive (but that may just be me being able to put up with gag dubs), but I can see why people would take issue with it. I like how the three ANN reviews of its VHS and DVD releases are complete mixed bags, leaving it up to the consumer to decide to watch or skip.
TWHE with their references to Meryl Streep and BSB and Britney Spears virginity.....
I did a double-take at that, wasn't sure if I had heard it right lol.
You never put contemporary references in your script if you want the show the remain "evergreen."
Watch it subbed. It's okay in subbed form. I must confess I like them elf girls though.
So... Still wanna pretends that you're not from lawtwitter?
I didn't even float the theory to begin with. @MightyBiteySnake did on their profile. I just suggested that maaaaaybe it's true.
They're obviously a troll. The question is whether they're something like KV or LT in addition to that.
And invisible guns and cigarettes. Those were the days....
Lollipop cigarettes were hilariously cool. Zoicite's gender change was extra funny too.
So we can milk the cow.
You know, im a gamer and a fan of anime not really a weeabo, i have my favorites but i dont go looking for new series. I hadnt even heard of gamergate until i came here to view this whole vic nonsense last year! Which shows a) how little i gave a shit about current happenings, and b) how little gamergate fucking mattered in the first place.
Going to call you on that mother sperg.
The worst of ADV’s “gag” dubs has to be Super Milk-Chan. They made two dubs; one for airing on Adult Swim that was more faithful to the Japanese version, and the one they released on DVD, which was barely even the same show. In this dub, the main character is turned into a sociopathic asshole (keep in mind that she is supposed to be a very young child), some voice actors are switched around, and they filmed cringeworthy live-action scenes around the ADV offices.
I calls it like I sees it; if it looks and smells like shit, it must be shit.
I still have the DVDs. The scenes where Hilary Haag was pretending to be a diva in the ADV office were pretty bad, but I like her voice acting.
Wasn't that how the original Super Milk-chan was, with the live-action segments? Least it gave us a good look into ADV's office building, I honestly appreciate that, but yeah, voice-acting being shitty actors was no real surprise there. The gag dub of Super Milk-chan was fucking fantastic, though; it's funny, too, how Monica Rial was Tetsuko-- for the shittier boring dub version.
God bless Marcy Bannor.
