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

This is just Steven Foster working his magic. Dude goes off the handle when the handcuffs come off.
Shame he retired from writing and directing last year. He left quite the legacy.
 
It always brings a smile to my face when I see people discovering this dub.

"No one's talking to you, just drive the bus, bus driver!"

As soon as I discovered this dub I downloaded all the episode immediately and showed it during a movie night. We laughed our asses off.

If people want a similar dub, I recommend The Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman. I have a tradition to watch it every year with some friends.
 
Holy fuck. Part 1 is good, but part 2 of this dudes highlights is just incredible. Haven't laughed so hard since dbz abridged.
 
Boy1:"I think we're the only ones left."
Girl:"What'll we do?"
Boy2:"Ok i'm sorry, when're you gonna need another dramatic plot point until you decide to whip out that damn ghost book?"

My sides...
 
Wasn't Samurai Pizza Cats pretty much in the same boat.

I mean that Intro....

My understanding is that they never got the actual script translated, so they were told to wing it with the dub with whatever they thought the anime was about, so it's basically its own abridged series. One of these days, I need to check the series out.

I think a similar thing happened with Panty and Stocking, like they were told to do whatever they wanted short of getting arrested lol
Funimation was told "ADD EVEN MORE SWEAR WORDS". I kid you not, there's over 350 times where the word or a variation of the word "fuck" is spoken.

Can someone get the english dub of A Time to Screw and Sextra Credit in this thread?
Sure, why not.

Sextra Credit's dub

A Time to Screw's dub

No NSFW visuals, but obviously in the language department. I like how one of the top comments for that A Time to Screw dub is "This is the Ghost Stories of hentai".
 
This CANT be an official dub.... this HAS to be a fan made VA... Someone please tell me this is fan made!

LMAO I'm dying!
 
Is the actual show consistently funny or was that video all the cherry picked best moments?

Edit: I just noticed it's part 1/3 should I still watch the show after watching these?

People were paid to make this. The idea that this was submitted, and aired is absolutely amazing. Like some of these jokes are ridiculous. I can't even...lol XD

There are a good amount of small one liners and contextual jokes that are missing even from the first couple of episodes i just watched. My bro who isn't really big on anime is hooked as well. Good way to make a otherwise boring and stale topic of fighting monsters in a high school funny and different from the normal anime tropes.
 
Actually, to add on to that Samurai Pizza Cats intro, I think the lyrics "As soon as someone finds the script, we might begin the show" is a flat-out in-joke of the fact they couldn't get a translated script of the original Japanese version.

& now I'm reminded licensing issues prevented them from being in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.....
 
Yeah, Discotek Media 'rescued' the ADV license and has Ghost Stories available for purchase again. (Along with Samurai Pizza Cats and a bunch of other older anime and... some... special series like School Days.)
 
This is basically how the Shin Chan dub got made and it's probably the most funniest shit close to old school Simpsons or Family Guy. The original was an innocent kids show and had too many references to Japanese social issues that we wouldn't get so Funimation was like fuck it let's turn it into an adult comedy, change character's personalities, and reference current topics in America:

"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?

Main creator of the show told them to just be as raunchy as they can get with the dialogue.

I have that intro on my music player and they do say that line.

I love how they make separate releases for sub and dub. Samurai Pizza Cats came out in its original form, just like Monster Rancher (well the subbed set is TBA). I would rather enjoy the original works, but great for people that do want the dub.
 
I watched the first two episodes on YouTube. Just started the third. "Bravo! Somewhere, Keanu Reeves is getting nervous!" This is everything I could have dreamed of and more.

Yes! Shin-chan is absolutely hilarious https://youtu.be/3o0GbKrtqVQ?t=12m13s
