One Piece also had Kaizoku subs who, as far as I can recall anyway, were pretty decent other than their insistence that 'nakama' was a word of such intrinsic value to OP that it should be left untranslated. They loved a fancy font special move subtitle too.

Good soup! posted:What's funny is the cast for the movie has some solid actors in it, but the script is just an absolutely incomprehensible mess and the direction is just flat out weird I liked the drum n bass tv soundtrack lol The Streamline dub is a classic but not because it's good. But it is very, very quotable.

Honestly the whole original FotNS English tv release is funny as gently caress. Manga Ent desperate for money decided to try and release 150 episode tv series from 1984 because the movie was their second biggest hit after Akira, which only did those numbers because it was the second thing they released after Akira and people bought it expecting more of the same. Someone, realising they had a massive dud on their hands trying to sell an ugly, often poorly animated 15 year old show, decided the the best way to spruce it up was with a contemporary soundtrack! Of cheap to license original music by people you will never have heard of! They got up to episode 36 (48 depending on where you lived) before cutting their losses and cancelling the whole thing.

Don't get me wrong I love FotNS tv but it was a hard sell to Manga Ents casual fanbase who expected cutting edge movies and ovas.

Yeah I think the only other company that tried to sell a show with more than 26 eps on VHS was VIZ, and they were selling to collectors and otaku. And I'm pretty sure they didn't finish either Ranma 1/2 or Urusei Yatsura E: UY was actually AnimEigo which I thought originally then got confused because VIZ released the manga. And apparently they did finish it. Sakurazuka fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Jul 30, 2022 |

Can't have been worse than the incredibly weird Ninja Scroll TV series

The Wolf thing was mostly to avoid any possible issues with Leblanc's estate, assuming anyone cared enough to bother, which considering how quickly it was dropped no one did.

That's what 'shoujo' used to mean in the 80's & 90's

Dubbed Fist of the Northstar movie on YT (unless it gets taken down lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxl0dICRna4 Interestingly this is the old Streamline dub over the Japanese version of the movie (no English title or credits, also wrong movie in the thumbnail lol) not gotten far enough to see if it has the full ending or the incomplete one used for the dub version. I have insane nostalgia for this but had forgotten how utterly weird a movie it was. It really ramps up the mysticism and 'Kenshiro as the messiah' stuff.

Streamline was very much in to trying to westernise anime as much as possible, it was founded by Carl Macek lol

Arc Hammer posted:ADV is about the only company from that time that still exists to some extent in the modern day. AnimEigo is sort of still around, they just only do one Kickstarter bluray of stuff they owned years ago every 5 years.

Didn't realise this was a big thing I've had the UK bluray set for a couple of years.

Kingtheninja posted:Is this a version of the show worth checking out if I've never seen berserk? I know about it but never sat down to watch anything. It's very budget looking in places, even for a show from 1998, but nails the atmosphere a magnitude better than any other adaptation.

ADV's 'just license everything no matter how lovely' policy would have worked well if they'd lasted into the streaming era, less so when you had to give it DVD release.

Good soup! posted:Sci Fi Channel is where I saw Fist of the North Star, at least I think it was, I remember them using excessive amounts of pixelization for all the excessive blood Not sure if they added extra but the FotNS movie was always censored by a weird blurry filter. Originally it wasn't going to have it (and there's at least one trailer that used the filterless version and the Italian home release was based on a workprint version that didn't have it for some scenes) but the popularity of the toned down tv anime with younger kids forced them to add the filter late into production. I remember reading that it was due to protests from the Japanese PTA but can't find any evidence of that now.

SF V was good for, as far as I can tell unintentionally, making Ryu and Ken gay as gently caress in the first episode
