Nangbaby is...here's the thing. She's probably the most die-hard fan of the '90s dub ever. Of course, that isn't a bad thing in and of itself. I used to love the dub as well until I was introduced to the subs. One of my best IRL friends only knows the dub and loves it. However, what's off-putting are her posts about it (i.e. that boycott) and her responses to people who don't think that the dub is the Best Thing Ever.
What I've been able to make sense of her posts, though, she believes that English dubs of anime should all be Westernized because apparently English-speaking audiences can't handle names and concepts from non-English-speaking countries, that using the original Japanese names and customs in a dub is cultural appropriation, and that anyone who dislikes the '90s dub is wrong and horrible (especially if those people are Naoko Takeuchi).Last edited by firecat88; 05-21-2014, 03:49 PM."Things that fail to kill me make me level up." ~ NateWantsToBattle, Training Hard (Counting Stars parody)

at which time i was an adorable little ball of angst and confusion dealing with my own being a gay thing only to see two girl in a cartoon i loved whose actions where obviously affectionate to each other in a more than family way yet claim to be cousins and not gay... which broke my heart.
so as much as a love the origanal dub and nothing can change my glee over seeing it and as much as i really really really hate the names Usagi and Chibi Usa.... the new dub will be better. as long as they dont use someone with the same high pitched annoying voice the japanese one uses..... ive watched most of the subs her voice has scarred me.

Firecat beat me, but my sentiment is the same. Along with SAO 2, this is my most anticipated anime series for the summer.
I too grew up on the 90s version, and even gave a guy a black eye for calling it a shitty excuse for anime. But I loved having the original uncut version when Pioneer released it. I'm also happy that I can finally see Sailor Stars. Rewatching it reminds me that even though Usagi is a crybaby, she does grow. She learns all those valuable lessons and had really good friends.
I can't wait. Hurry up already!Random conversation:
Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
DDD: Cuz it's cool
So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

Quoth firecat88 View PostAll of this. Especially on part of the script writers who constantly felt the need to throw in a 'they're cousins' line every other episode. If memory serves, even the freaking villains somehow seemed to be aware of this and blurted out references to it.
Sailor Moon S was hit HARD with this actually, as the Daimon Stars were often in uh....risque places.The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom

Animage and Animedia Magazines both had their own articles about the new show in their newest editions. Animage even has a little teaser sketch of Mamoru on theirs."Things that fail to kill me make me level up." ~ NateWantsToBattle, Training Hard (Counting Stars parody)

Not for the first time, I wish I lived in California. @_@ At Anime Expo this year, Viz Media will be having a huge Sailor Moon-related event on July 5th (the day of the premiere of the new anime).
~ Introducing the cast of the redub
~ Photo and autograph sessions with said cast
~ A special premiere of the first two episodes *of* the redub.
Also, people who attend the panel get a poster autographed by the new cast.

Quoth otakuneko View PostI'm fresh off an anime convention so allow me to go full otaku:
ಠ_ಠ
I'm also working my way through Blue Exorcist, and I have yet to tell DaDairyDruid, but knowing him he probably already knows about High School DxD 3rd season.
And...to add some squeeaage:
Jupiter looks like she's missing her legs because the stand that holds her up broke while it she was being put together.
We've already ordered a display box of the outer senshi that comes out in August (blind boxes, 2 variants) and a display box of the inner senshi in their everyday clothes (blind boxes, 2 variants).Last edited by fma_fanatic; 06-19-2014, 01:19 AM.Random conversation:
