No, people, this topic isn't Spike Spencer related (although I think he should never have been allowed to do voices in dubbed aniem again after his pathetic voicing of Shinji in Evangelion. From there on in, the nightmare was allowed to swallow more and more innocent lives in).
While Spike SPencer would occupy most of a top ten lsit of worst dubs, there's one that's jsut surfaced. And I know this one is REALLY going to get the Asians and fansub fans mad, because it's something we like very much!
*dum roll* And the worst dub of all time is...AZUMANGA DAIOH?!
Can you actually believe it?! I am serious people. I saw 5 minutes of the dub version on the weekend, and I seriously wanted to cut my ears off right there! It was the WORST thing ever! They made Yukari sound like the typical American housewife, Chiyo like a sorority queen, and from there on in, the pain was too much to bear. It's like watching Pokemon on Prozac or something, it's that goddamned awful!
So, Americans that are about to try out Azumanga Daioh, I implore you: Avoid the dub at all costs! It is NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING like the original version! They took out ALL the swearing, most of the sex/body-related jokes, a lot fo the cultural references, the slapstick....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :mad2: :angry: :evil:
YOU EVIL AMERICAN DUBBERS! STOP TEARING ANIME APART! OR I WILL COME AFTER YOU! :angry:
