I understand that the whole point is the bring the story into the States, so if the story changes too much then what is the point? Taking out the jokes that many Americans either wouldn't understand, or wouldn't attempt to, that's one thing. Probably good business at that. But taking the animation and the backbone of a story and making it your own?

See Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. It's action, it's comedy, and it flows really well in English somehow, when they keep pretty much all of the non title related Japanese text on screen, untranslated. They changed some bits with characters, gave the narrator much more personaility, and used jokes that would workj in English instead of trying to maintain the originals. And it's great, and somehow all of the episodes, except for the recap in the middle of the series, ended up getting aired in America. Although I will always be upset they didn't change to the second OP when they should have. I am also upset the company releasing the DVDs just stopped, because I think the whole company went under or something, and Toei never got anyone else to release them.<br /><br />That's why I'm so upset Gintama is just getting a sub only release, it's a lost opportunity to have something like this again where watching the show dubbed would be a new experience.Cbajd5https://www.blogger.com/profile/15641012406681457382noreply@blogger.com
