When a dubbing company is told they can do whatever they want by the Japanese company

Oh, there are people that still haven't seen the Ghost Stories dub? It's stupendous, far better than the usual stiff VA that a lot of dubs get.
 
Omg, they should go ahead and make a series and pick anime's to just dub over and make an alternate story line.
 
Lol I did voice over work for ADV when I was a kid. We had to follow the script, but in crowd scenes we could say whatever we wanted. ADV and many other dub companies have been struggling lately due to crunchyroll and the overall demand for subtitles w/Japanese voice actors
 
I love the Ghost Stories dub. I got into a Ghost Stories quoting battle with someone over the internet once. It was amazing.

I remember marathoning that dub. It's funny but it just essentially assaults your senses that you can't find it funny anymore.

Not in the least.

The best part is that people were mad that such a shit anime didn't get a legit dub.

Yeah, but that describes a lot of people in the fansub community. But even then, the people complaining the most about it wouldn't have watched it dubbed anyways.

O_O

Any specific characters you remember dubbing?
 
Holy shit. Some of it is quite funny, but then they just go a bit too far. It would certainly be interesting to watch

Yeah I had characters in Rahxephon, Angelic Layer, and Spell Wars.

My last dub was back when I was 13 years old for Angelic Layer. They had me play a ~18 year old guy and my vocal chords hadn't dropped yet so I lowered my voice as low as my prepubescent suprano could go, and you could tell it was a kid trying his hardest to lower his voice. It was horrible, I knew it was horrible, and that was the last work I ever did for ADV :(
 
Hey can you guys hear anything?
Y'know what I hear? I hear the sound of you shutting the fuck up!
Let's see... Seven?
...What the FUCK are you talking about?

But the residuals you get from the SAG are good right?
 
"It's not because you're a rabbit. It's because YOU'RE BLACK! T_T"

I thought this was a joke until I watched it. What happened, did it bomb in Japan?

I think a similar thing happened with Panty and Stocking, like they were told to do whatever they wanted short of getting arrested lol
 
You wanna be an airforce ranger
You wanna live a life of danger
You don't wanna be raped by strangers
THINK OF BIG BLACK MAN CHASING YOU
 
Ghost Stories is my shit, last anime seires i watched all the way through. And the you are not missing much from the OG story.
