The first Lupin movie (Mystery of Mamo) is real fascinating dub-wise in that it got 4 different English dubs. The first of which was a dub only intended to be shown as an in-flight movie on Japan Airlines, and of course one of the dubs uses the voice cast that were in the Part 2 tv show dub.

I'm usually not wild about Lupin dubs, though I do find it an interesting piece of history. It's rare enough to see something get two different dubs, never mind twice that!

Good soup! posted:

Also the later dub going with a George Bush Jr. impression for the President when Jigen/Goemon hear the recording between him and Mamo, lol wtf

Yeah it's real jarring when the president also has henchmen that are absolutely meant to be prominent 70s political figures, like how one of them is undoubtedly based on Kissinger.

While we're throwing names out there I'm sad of how Mix season 2 didn't get a dub. I remember when that first season came out, Funimation had a simuldub going on that almost kept up with the Japanese airing. I was real impressed at how it captured the cadence of a Mitsuru Adachi series in a way that made sense in English, wound up being one of my favorite dubs in awhile.

I was hoping that season 2 would get a dub to give me a great excuse to rewatch episodes while it was airing, but alas.
