For me it was that "It's coming" thread... It made me think 5th Stage was going to be animated after all... | ||

Oh gees! Come on people! Why is it that every time I make a thread everyone comes in here thinking its news about a 5th stage?!? No where in any of my threads do I ever talk about stage 5. If I ever get news of a stage 5, believe me, I will tell you. In caps, I will put in the title "Stage 5 Coming Soon!" or even discuss it on the stickied thread which is dedicated to stage 5. The redubbing of Initial D is great news. I know I cant enjoy animation if Im too busy reading subtitles, or vice versa. The original english dub was so terrible that I would never tell anyone I liked the show due to fear that they may assumed that I liked that version. Anytime I suggested the show to someone I had to suggest fansubs because the english one was so bad. This new dub will be great because more non anime fans will get into the show, and that may lead them to want to experience more anime. j pop and euro beats may become popular. Popular enough that you may heard them in this country, and NOT be listening to your ipod or anime radio. Drifting, or the youth car scene may become bigger (rather than it just be a bunch of old dudes and their hot rods) This show has potential enough to be on Adult Swim, G4, Spike, even Speed Channel. With the popularity, comes merchandise. Think about all that you could buy... ...things offline at a brick and mortar store that you could buy. I really believe that this show has that potential. Big enough to be the next pokemon or DBZ. (clearly targeting a different demographic) | ||

i know dude. i understand that. my thing is: why do anther dub? i rather read the subs in the CORRECT language than have a dub version. that's just my opinion. | ||

Just watch one episode, just one... ...heck, 5 minutes of tokyopops version and you will understand completely 100% with why a new redub is necessary. | ||

The dub is incredibly bad... They changed up the way characters talked (and throwing in stupid attempts at slang), used stupid nicknames, added incredibly bad 80s video effects, used an awful soundtrack which replaced Eurobeat... that's pretty much it right there... | ||

Yeah, as Ryo said, it was played down... In the manga, Tokyopop even censored a few bits regarding her.... | ||

I know Vol. 1 had some stupid dialogue and innuendo between her and "Papa". I'll post it later... | ||

IDW Regular Member Group: Members Posts: 214 Member No.: 22,550 Joined: Dec 25th 2006 Location: Canada | any news if they will release by DVD or box sets? I'm hoping box sets since i already spent like $300 on the tokyo pop DVD's when i'd buy them every month they'd come out... |

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 4 Member No.: 34,036 Joined: Sep 27th 2009 Location: So.cal | Oh im thrilled. I can finally actually show this show to my friends (who all refuse to watch anything with subtitles) but love the initial d game. i own all the tokyopop dvds simply cause of the convience and watching them in my truck. maybe now netflix will restock since all the ones they were renting out "disappeared" in the mail. |
