Out of curiosity, why were the English versions of the movies handled by a completely different studio/cast than the main series was?

different licensor. ADV got the movies and OVAs, iirc, and Central Park Media got the show, and both licensors had completely different stables of VAs (ADV used their own in-house people and CPM used NYAV Post (if you've ever wondered why Xellos is voiced by Dean Venture, that's why)

also the Slayers dub is, like, famously great, like it's basically the OG actually-good dub before Cowboy Bebop

oh my god weebs in 2019 are rejecting Megumi Hayashibara so they can listen to hours of Crispin Fuckman and not have to read


somebody put me in a loving home already

or... here's a thought... maybe they're both fine and it's not a competition, given we're no longer in the VHS days where sub and dub got sold separately

i am never going to get mad at dubs because i have seen quite a few dubs that just flat-out improved the show they were for.

Yu Yu Hakusho is way better when Yusuke gets to actually have a personality. Cyber City OEDO 808 turned a D-list OVA that nobody cared about into something legit magical. Future Diary managed to save a show that honestly seems pretty obnoxious subbed, just through the magic of actual well-written dialogue. Black Lagoon in Japanese is a little janky at times, but in English it's perfect. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is actually possible for normal human beings to follow dubbed.

the Bebop dub is not necessarily better than the sub but it is one hundred percent an acceptable way to watch the show

like it's a legit toss-up between the two versions for me
