Close Enough looks wonderful.
Yâall see the announcement that Sony bought Funimation for 140+ million?
Now Amy Pascal and friends get to fuck up all your favorite anime dubs too!
I donât watch dubs so I donât really care.
Inb4 Bulma starts complaining about the Saiyan patriarchy.
Canât be any worse than 4kids meddling years ago
I posted the news on the anime thread. Donât care as long it doesnât fuck with Funimationâs deal with Crunchyroll.
Pretty much this
I could see Sony letting Funimation keep on keepin on, but I donât watch dubs anymore so I donât really care honestly.
Nothing will ever top 4kids and their war on the Japanese culture.
From Super Soakers to Jersey accents, calling rice balls donuts, erasing anything with a hint of kanji on it, and single-handedly making sure One Piece never succeeded in the US, 4kidsâ evil will NEVER be forgotten.
All of this!!!
Funimationâs dubbing is the gold standard!
Sean Schemmel is to Goku, as Kevin Conroy is to Bats!!
All of the My Hero Academia English V.As are just ungodly perfect!!!
As long Sony keeps their paychecks coming, and dubs coming out in timely manner; Iâm okay with this!
4 Kids ruined destroyed One Piece for me!!
I could never take it serious or get back into once they had their hands on it!!!
best move they can do is be like disney in regards to marvel. just dump money into them and leave them the fuck alone.
season 3 of voltron trailer dropped
Yea pretty much, if Sony where smart (and sometimes they are) they would just leave Funimation alone and let them keep doing what they have been doing because its been working.
heh, that brought back some (hilarious) memories⌠I forgot 4Kids even existed until it was mentioned just now in this thread.
Iâm not a fan of One Piece, but that rap intro was so amazingly dreadful as Simon Cowell might sayâŚso hilariously bad⌠I recorded/saved it. That silly shit is still on my mp3 player today⌠I still listen to it on occasion for laughs. It is up there as one of the worst tv intro themes Iâve ever heard, and Iâve watched an insane amount of tv shows and cartoons over the years. (*Power Rangers Operation Overdrive is the absolute worst, imo; itâs the championâŚgo ahead and look that theme up if you dare :lol: )
The mid to late 90s era also reminds me of the funny censorship-- all DBZ fans remember that lineââLOOK! I can see their parachutes! Theyâre ok.â :lol:
Ah the days of Brooklyn Rage (Joey) and no guns just finger points of death.
Back in the 80s my favorite show was Thundercats followed by Transformers and He-Man. Did anyone else watch this show called Bravestar?? It was about a sheriff who could channel the powers of animals (Bearâs strength, wolfâs hearing, eagleâs vision, etc) and it had a talking horse as a sidekick. In the 90s Batman TAS was goat but I watched the fuck outta Rockoâs Modern Life too. Def watched Xmen and Spiderman too. I never got why Superman was also not as loved. It had good stories, the worldâs finest crossover was good and seeing Lobo say âbitchâ on a cartoon was also shocking
Bravestarr was very underrated. One of the few Native American characters that wasnât a complete stereotype. His horse companion was a total headcase too.
Tex Hex scared the shit outta kids though, so he got the Lord Zedd treatment and was made into a buffoon after the early episodes.
Bravestarr the movie⌠never watched this properlyâŚ
Hammer GunâŚ
More I think of it the more I can see MASK being in the same shared Universe as GI Joe and Transformers
