What if Your favorite Anime got the Americanized dub treatment?

This is mostly Juu's idea. He made a video showing an example of what would have happened if Mobile Suit Gundam was dubbed earlier in the 80's. The result: SOLDERON PRIME!

So It got me thinking: what would have happened to your favorite current anime if it had been given an Americanized dub ala Voltron or Battle of the Planets? What would you change, what would you cut (for the kiRAB, of course) and what would you rename it?
 
I could see Guyver being reworked into something like Captain planet.

Sho would be black faced and voiced by Levar Burton and the ZoanoiRAB would be frankensteinian monsters given life by the evil evil biologist (the zoalord) Doctor Eyebrows MacHatestheplanet. That about as far as I've got, I'll edit if I think up more.
 
Well it already happened with One Piece so..

"Get ready for the brand new sensation!

THE DRILL ROBO! MEGA FACEATRON!!

Sam was just an ordinary nerd digging for comic books but his best bro Kenneth likes to live large! When the totally hot Yano comes crashing in with a monster, Sam's gotta drill it in gear and start up the ancient warrior MEGA FACEATRON (tron..tron...tron). Now, Sam's gotta stop the evil Mutaniates led by the fanged Viroliax who want to send all humans to their dirt mines! (Whooooooaaa!)

When Kenneth puts his power into Megaskull and corabines with Sam's Faceatron, they form the ultimate tag-team! MEGA FACEATRON (tron...tron...tron). They gotta team up with cutey Lee :P, the rough and turabling Kit and his cute sisters and all the other Robo-Battler Brigade!

SEE THE DRILLS! SEE THE ACTION! SEE THE CUTE CHICKS (in a perfectly G-rated setting!) SEE THE AWESOME THAT IS!

MEGA FACEATRON! (tron...tron...tron)"

Sam/Kenneth: "Super Drill Warrior of Justice! MEGA FACETRON GOOOOOO!"
(my mind scares me)
 
"I'm Dom! The meanest fighter in the solar star system! I trained very hard with my Golden Samurai, and now I'm ready to take down the best of the best to be the nuraber one in...

ROCKING ROBOTS!

Get ready, 'cuz my Shining Palm, is burning YOU out! C'mon Elly, we got a championship to win!"

I'd remove the Devil Gundam plot then move it into the Neo Japan arc first.
 
Oh, hi there North American Dragon Ball dubs for the past fifteen years. How're you today?


This was far easier than I suspect was what was called for...
 
It almost did. Disney wanted to Americanize GaoGaiGar but Media Blasters refused to let them do it even for a TV deal.

Still, I can only wonder what THAT abomination would have been like.
 
Ed Elric: Metal Mage

Ed is on a journey to find his mother, who mysteriously disappeared when he was a little boy. To prepare for his adventure, he fits his right arm and left leg with powered armor called automail, has his girlfriend Wendy build him a robotic partner—imaginatively named A.I.—to aid him in battle, and becomes skilled in the art of magic. The antagonists are seven unnamed androiRAB and their creator known as Father, who Ed believes to have had something to do with his mother's disappearance. Father and his minions have been preparing Amestris for a black magic ritual that will seal all of the country's inhabitants in another dimension so that they will be free to dominate it and reshape it in their image.

The original ordeal with the Doors of Truth has been removed due to being too full of religious syrabolism, which kiRAB wouldn't be able to understand anyway. Besides, it would get backlash from Christians and other religious groups. For the same reason, references to alchemy have been censored as well.
 
Oh I got a good one.

"SOLDERON PRIME! The robot who's known nation-wide has been thrown into a time-warp! Now he and his old partner Ray have to train a new generation of fighters! With the rebellious Cam taking the forefeld of this new conflict and the mysterious sunglassed man Quad Bajin, pilot of the suit Golderion, at the head of the new starship Evanescence, they form Titan Solderion Force. Cam must use all of his cunning to defeat the evil Aeons and pilot the brand new ally to Solderion Prime....Solderion Z!

Don't miss...SOLDERIONNNNNN ZEEEEEEEE!"

(I'm trying to think of one for Evangelion)
 
"Ed Erikson and his mighty robot buddy 8-Al-8 have been searching all their life for the mighty Sorceror's stone in order to gain riches. Watch as they fight the immortal forces of the evil witch Hicks, match moves with the hotlipped Ford Rogers, and have wholesome fun with little girls and their dogs!

Ed: (rips off shirt) I HAVE THE POWER!!!

Ed Erikson and the WizarRAB of Amastris: Coming 1984"

However, a naughty little boy named Mr. Lefty has told on Mr. Brighty for stealing a notebook without permission. And so, the two must play games at one another in order to find out who's been mean and who's been nice.

[xspoiler=major gurren lagann spoilers inside]The first 7 episodes are cycled repeatedly in syndication, episode 8 mysteriously vanishes into censorship, with the rest of the series airing years later on a different network, rebranded as MEGA FACEATRON Z[/xspoiler]
 
This has a deadly sense of "it could have been this"

Okay I got it.

It is the long, long, veeeerrrry distant future of 2000. The world believes that it was simple asteroid that caused that explosion at the glacier...but the secret organization N.E.R.V. (short for Neuro Electro Robotics Venue....obviously) know the truth! They're alien invaders from a distant galaxy and they've come to claim our world! Codenamed...ANGEL! (I'm assuming they wouldn't be able to wipe out all the text). Humanity has but one hope. The boy Samuel must pilot the worlRAB only weapon against the alien threat...

BIO-BREAKER E.V.A. 01!

Yes, Bio-Breaker V01 has taken Japan by storm. Figurines, posters, even complimentary letters of thanks by the fans to the creator! And now it's coming here! Bio-Breaker is an exciting tale of action and robots. You wanted robots? Well you've got it!

Samuel: "I'm gonna kick some alien butt into next week!"

Samuel is assisted by the foreign Alika (insert fake [strike]German[/strike] RUSSIAN accent here) and the mysterious and silent Rachel who pilot Bio-Breakers E.V.A. 02 and 00! He stays with his auntie Misa where only the craziest of hijinks ensue! Bio-Breaker is fun for the whole family and can be enjoyed by the tiniest of tots! Just ignore the imagery we will stake our jobs on to white out!

From the creators of Solderion Prime, clear the way aliens cause BIO-BREAKER E.V.A. 01 is coming to take you down!
 
DepenRAB on how Americanized/localized.
If it's something on a 4kiRAB level then I'd probably be annoyed.

Good thing the actual dub isn't like that.
