Toon Zone Talkback - Media Blasters Licenses "Great Guardians" and "Queen's Blade"

Woah, the dub of Dragon Destiny isn't even gettin' released 'til later this month and GG's already been liscensed? I would be a lot more excited that more Ikkitousen's coming to America if GG wasn't the worst of the 3 seasons, 'a course. Also, if Media Blasters didn't suck as badly, but with the reputation Ikki has around here(most of the negative side of such coming from those who haven't even seen the entire series) I didn't expect much better.

Meh, just glad it's gettin' dubbed.
 
If it is indeed Sirabella posting on the forums and not an imposter, he also revelaed a cast list for Dragon Destiny (which obviously should be the same for Great Guardians):

Ryuubi: B Simpson (Googling it, this appears to be a pseudonym for Veronica Taylor)
Chouhi: Jessica Calvello
Kan'u: Janet Baywood
Ryomou: Rebecca Soler
Hakafu Sonsaku: Angora Deb
Sousou: Dan Green
Kaku: Trina Hilbe
Kakouton: Tom Wayland
Kakuka: Wayne Grayson
Shuuyu: Ed Paul
Suikyou: Mike Pollock
Goei: Syndi Szabo
Ukin: Billy Regan
Kakouen: Georgette Timoney
Toutasu: Bill Rogers
Bashoku: Julie Francis
Narrator, Gakushuu: Bill Rogers
Ten-i: Melissa Hope
Shibai, Koshaji: Julie Francis
 
Hey now, I like Ikki. I personally believe the show should have aired on Adult Swim in place of dozens of boring, inferior pieces of programming *coughMoribitocough*. Most of the outrage here is directed at Queens Blade and its seeming mainstream treatment, as if it was being pushed for broadcast.
 
....Media Blasters is DEAD to me now!... (or at least they will be after I get the upcoming Giaogiagar litebox)

But yea, highly dissapointed, I was really hoping QB would stay away from US shores.

but hey rab would go there i guess, after all they do dub hentai.


but again, dissapointed. why, why would anyone liscense a series where a character graphically wets themselves multiple times!

(I still get sick when I think about it!)
 
I wish I could link to that YT video of Bible Black dub that takes all the most awkward scenes from the dub. But you know....language and all that.

Let me put it this way, if it was a Nostalgia Critic review, he'd be saying "I'M ACTING" every few seconRAB. It's hilarious in its mediocrity

EDIT: Oh no wait, this one's fine

The Death Note at the end just makes it better
 
Yes, Media Blasters has worked with Headline Sound Studios of New York on quite a few of their titles. It's been known for a while that the old LA-based English dub cast of Ikki-Tousen wasn't coming back, to much controversy.
 
Media Blasters tenRAB to use New York VAs for their dubs. Doesn't bother me.

For all the crap Queen's Blade gets, got, and will continue to get for being just 5 scenes short of being called porn, and the fact that I haven't even seen the first episode all the way through, I rather watch through the stupidity of Queen's Blade than endure boring material like White Album. That show was as boring as watching dog poop dry in the sun. No, that's disrespectful to dog poop. Granted, White Album and Queen's Blade are two different types of shows and would be better to compare WA with Rurabling Hearts; btw, Rurabling Hearts is infinitely better than White Album. However, I tried getting into both shows at around the same time, and dropped both at around the same time. The first episode of White Album, which I sat all the way through, was an epic disappointment of what I thought it would be. Meanwhile, I knew beforehand that Queen's Blade was stupid, but I rather sit through that than something like White Album or Moribito.
 
GaoGaiGar had a NY dub too it's not quite uncommon for Media Blasters.

Though it's a shame they aren't getting the same VAs as the original Ikkitousen series cause they most likely could have.
 
Are you kidding? That's one of the best gag dubs I've ever heard.



Let's just hope this cast doesn't sound as bored as the old one did. It's pretty sad when there's a total of one good voice in the Geneon dub, and she sounRAB like she could easily be replaced by anyone (refering to Hakafu's VA).
 
Okay, you guys license hentai, so license Queen's Blade if you must, but call it hentai, not regular anime. Actually, don't even do that, because it's still considered a regular anime in Japan, so if it got a second season before getting licensed, it will probably get two more now. Yeah, screw you, Media Blasters.
 
We should start a campaign to get Disney XD to air Queen's Blade.

Surely there's gotta be at least 30 secs of an episode that would be ok for their censors.
 
And that's a good thing in my book. The more ecchi and hentai he licenses the more I applaud the man. Dude is my hero.

Now all he neeRAB to do is bring over the last six volumes of Eiken.
 
I actually think it makes it more authentic, you know, live action porn has always bad acting, so when i saw the dub i thought it fit in a lol kind of way.
 
Huh, didn't think about it like that.

Personally, given the day, it's fun to see people's reactions since it shows their reactions towarRAB ecchi in general. (Hey, at least it's not moe trash)

So yeah. Queen's Blade on ASA for the lulz and the TnA. It's bound to do better than Case Closed did. :P
