CLAMP's Famous Works > Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE

What if Tsubasa was dubbed? (Not saying that it is)

Well, think of it. Just think back to CCS with that "Li Showron" and all those weird names that the company placed in it. They mangled up CSS because of its content and it stunk! What if Tsubasa was turned to english? Would it have the worst voice actors? Would they cut out scenes that they thought didn't make sense (like the japanese honorifics) then realizing that was important so they had to change the dialogue and change the whole personality of each indiviual characters? that's chaos!  :angry:

anyways, just list what you would think if they dubbed it to english :) there's my possibility  :laughing4:

monkey:
do you think they actually listened to the fans and won't scre it up like last time. I think by now they should of learnt thier mistakes... if not.. it's back to preschool for them... those retards...

Meowzy:
Well, i suppose the dialogues would be changed a bit, making Touya and Yukito seem more like... best friends...
perhaps even making Fai and Kurogane seem like rivals *shudder*

Fai: I could beat you with one hand behind my back, blackie!
Kurogane: I'd like to see you try!!!

actual japanese lines:
Fai: But i don't wanna fight you Kuro-sama!
Kurogane: Stop running away, you bastard!

and the glass of wine would be changed to... shall we say... lemonade. ^^'

anyway, i doubt they learned from their mistakes.

Cardcaptor Takato:
If Tsubasa does get dubbed, it'll probably be dubbed uncut and released direct to DVD by some company like Geneon or ADV.  I don't think Nelvana would try to dub Tsubasa as the next CC because Tsubasa doesn't have enough Pokemon-style merchandise for them to make money off of.  Tsubasa also features characters from other more mature Clamp series like X and Chobits, which already have uncut DVD releases in the U.S.  If kids saw that one of their favorite characters from Tsubasa was in another more mature anime, they might get their parents to buy the DVD for them without knowing what it was, and then when the parents come into the kid's room while they're watching it, they'll be really freaked out and would start sueing.  I don't think such a small company like Nelvana would want to risk getting sued by angry parents for enticing their kids into watching a mature anime.  And Tsubasa isn't exactly fit to appeal to the general American public, either.  Even though Tsubasa could work as a stand alone series without having to watch other Clamp series, Tsubasa would only mean something to those anime fans who are Clamp fans.  Since the only Clamp series that's been aired on TV was CC, I don't think there are enough Clamp fans among the general public who would be interested in watching Tsubasa.

After seeing the uncut dub of the second CCS movie, I think dubbing companies are starting to realize that CCS fans don't want their Clamp titles to be screwed up, so they would probably respect the wishes of CCS fans and dub Tsubasa uncut.  And does Nelvana even dub anime anymore?  I think the last anime they dubbed was Beyblade which I think they gave an uncut DVD release, anyway.  So, even if Nelvana would dub Tsubasa, which I highly doubt they will, they would still probably give it an uncut DVD release.  But I don't think Nelvana even dubs anime anymore and I think the only anime company out there who still edits their dubs is 4Kids, who I don't think is interested in dubbing Tsubasa or any Clamp series.  Maybe they'll just give Tsubasa a sub-only DVD release like they did the CCS TV series and the first movie.  If they did dub it, it would most likely be uncut for DVD, but there are just some things that I think would be difficult to dub even in an uncut version, like Fai's nicknames for Kurogane or Sakura calling Shaoran "Shaoran-kun".  I would like to see how they could dub this but at the same time I'm sort of hoping they'll just release it sub-only.

AkaiYuki:
Agreed, Takato-san. Even if Tsubasa were dubbed, I doubt it'd be edited because they normally only do that for TV. ((Well, as far as scenes goes. I have no doubt there will be some serious dialogue changes, but I wouldn't call that editing, they don't really have a choice if there is no English equivalent.)) I'm not really worried, I just won't watch the dubbed version! Well, maybe once to just hear their voices. But I'd rather Tsubasa not be licensed, at least until it's finished, because we won't be able to download them! We'll have to wait so long for the DVDs!!
