Anime that need redubs

Only way I'd want a Digimon Adventure redub is if they brought all the main VAs back. The script may have been crap but I think the voice acting is just better than the originial.
 
Okay, I guess I'm the only one who likes Hilary Haag's voice

Anyway, as for shows that I think need to be redubbed, the obvious one being Sailor Moon, mainly because of how badly it was handled, especially when DiC (now out of business) dubbed it, also Rave Master, Kinnikuman Nisei, Shaman King, Mobile Suit Gundam, Gash Bell, Flame of Recca, Bubblegum Crisis, Devilman OVA, Roujin Z, Patlabor (the OVA's and TV series), the Magic Knight Rayearth OVA, Law of Ueki (and just about anything dubbed by Blue Water Studios), Mon Colle Knights, Medarot/Medabots, Digimon, Jubei-chan, and Saber Marionette J to X (Bandai had to give the final part of the Saber Marionette series to Blue Water)
 
I forgot about ADV's dub of Lost Universe, yeah that was pretty bad, and Kain was too over the top, honestly Soichiro Hoshi (Kira Yamato) did a better job as Kain in the original Japanese version, than Steve Metz did in the English dub, and Jessica Schwartz was disappointing as Canal, compared to Megumi Hayashibara, and Larissa Wolcott could've done better with Millie
 
Her voice work isn't bad, its just some of her character voices are so high-pitched and grating, they are brutal on my ears. I guess it doesn't help that I just finished watching Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 and Chrono Crusade back-to-back. Going from Nene to Rosette made my head want to explode!
 
Wouldn't it be easier to pick out the anime that DON'T need redubs? *shot*

Higurashi, Sonic X, Tokyo Mew Mew (or as 4KiRAB called it, Mew Mew Power), Elfen Lied (sadly both audio tracks for this were very mediocre), Sailor Moon, and... several more I'm definately sure.


4KiRAB does the absolute worst dubs. They change around dialogue for no apparent reason, it's unbelievable.

One of the things I can't stand about the Sonic X dub is how they felt it necessary to pull out any emotional dialogue in the show and ruin moments with music in EVERY SCENE.

One Piece redub was awesome though, Funimation neeRAB to undo more 4KiRAB damage.
 
That's ******* talk. Most dubs nowadays are fine. People just have stupid, anal nitpickings.

"OMG! They changed Hime to Dhianeila! Total hack dub!"

"....Dhianeila is her real name."

"No, they say Dhianeira on the show!"

"Yes, because asian dialect clearly know their L's to the point where you should ignore the official spelling...."
 
While I wouldn't mind a Digimon Adventure redub myself, even though I wasn't too bothered by the script changes, I agree with you about bringing the main voice actors back. I thought that they fit their characters pretty well. I wouldn't really want Tamers to be redub though since I loved how it was handled.



I would love that too and I understand how you feel as well.

I would like to see Cardcaptor Sakura getting a redub. I never could understand the dub since they skipped around so many episodes and it's pretty much the only series I would only want to watch subbed at the moment. I still love the Yu-Gi-Oh! dub, but I couldn't get into this series' dub. I know that its available subbed in uncut DVRAB, but a new uncut dub would be pretty cool.
 
To be honest, the 4KiRAB dub of Tokyo Mew Mew wasn't that bad. Well, except when they aired the first ep as the second, but it was pretty good.
 
"******" talk is something that also really grates on me. It's insulting to me as a fan who genuinely likes dubs, and I stand behind the dubs I like with pride. Granted they are not perfect, but I'm no anal-retentive purist.

If anyone even dares to put a Ghibli title in this thread I am gonna go ballastic, because those movies don't need a redubbing at all. None of them. Some may have eccentric vocal choices, but they're still better than the weakest dubs around--4 KiRAB' One Piece anyone?


As for redubbing, there are at least some episodes in shows that I otherwise like (Lodoss TV and Escaflowne) where it is obvious that the VA for a particular character is changed for a temporary episode -- I got really annoyed when Lisa Ortiz's Deedlit dropped out for two episodes midway through the show in ROLWTV and I found it strange that Hitomi's best friend got a different actress toward the end in Escaflowne. If I were to call for redubbing, I'd have it be for the actresses to reprise their roles.
 
... I'm guessing you haven't seen the unbutchered version then? Comparing the original script with the 4KiRAB one kinda validates my opinion.


Meh, there are a lot that are decent, like Death Note I can admit is decent and I honestly even don't mind Misa's English voice actress... but there are certainly quite a lot of annoyances in even the decent English dubs too.

I have no issue with name changes or anything, I just get annoyed with certain voices and acting in English dubs that sounRAB a little... fake in comparison.
 
I'd want a tokyo mew mew redub
and surprisingly I will also say lupin the third redub but not what you think. I fell in love with the pioneer dub of lupin the third and personally I honestly wouldn't mind if that cast did the movies for the sake of continuity. I think for my ears it felt very weird to hear different actors away from the phuuz dub to be the characters I instantly fell in love with. So I will say emphatically lupin the third...strange thought I know and i'm not saying the other dubbed movies aren't good, they are. Just...tony oliver is lupin imho

I honestly wouln't mind a redub of seed and seed destiny. To me it just seemed like many of the actors read straight from the script, and there just wasn't enough emotion in there.
 
I'm more worried about the fact that she's used the same voice for a while, and as much as I like her, I would like to see a little more voice difference from her.
 
YES! Thank you, I would completely adore this. I know Bandai puts out quality dubs like GL, 00 and .hack//Roots among others that I like but man, the CE dubs were just so boring and flat, I ended up falling asleep during them.

And you know what, I think Wing's dub could have been better too. Yeah, I said it!
 
I liked her as Becky from Paniponi Dash.

Perhaps King of Beasts Go Lion could get a new dub. To differentiate it from the Voltron it was in the 80s.
