What if Tsubasa was dubbed? (Not saying that it is)
augustserenade:
If it was dubbed and came out on DVD, I'd only listen to it in Japanese with subtitles and forget that the dub audio even exists. I always try to watch anime in it's original, wonderful Japanese form. The seiyuu do too good a job. ^_^

Agreed! But don't you hate it when the dubbed track is on default and you play the DVD without thinking to switch the language and your show comes on with everyone using their horrible English voices? XD LOL, I hate it when that happens! But yeah, I do the same thing as you. Just ignore the dubbed track... I had my Tokyo Babylon DVD for over a year before I listened to the English track, then I hated myself for listening. ((Although the TB DVDs have an annoying insert song that plays whether you use the Eng. or Japanese track, and I heard it wasn't on the actual Japanese DVDs!! I couldn't believe it! I heard that horrid song for nothing?!))

The manga has already been released in English so what would be the point in keeping the anime unlicensed? To say that the anime should never be licensed is very selfish. Granted I download a lot of licensed anime myself, so I'm in no position to talk, but I do respect the companies that license anime and bring it to the U.S. for people to see because some people can't see anime other than through buying the DVDs.

Hrrrm, although I agree that Tsubasa should be licensed for fans who can't download, you really didn't need to imply that totosquirt is being selfish... *sweatdrop* I just don't think he took that into consideration (fans who can't download), he just meant he didn't want it to be licensed so he doesn't hear the English voices, he wasn't being selfish at all... And how can you say you respect the companies that bring anime to the US when you download licensed anime? Which I believe is illegal... -_-
Cardcaptor Takato:
What I mean by respecting the companies is let's say ADV licenses an anime. When most anime companies license an anime, they usually don't care if you continue to download their licensed series or not. I mean, they probably do care but obiviously not enough to make a big deal about it because you still see them up for download all over the place. However, ADV is very strict about downloading their licensed anime and won't let people get away with ripping their DVDs and putting them up for download anymore. Once ADV licenses an anime it becomes harder to find that series for download, so some fans complain about companies licensing anime and use the excuse that all dubs are going to be bad because they wanted to get it for free. So, even though I'll still download licensed anime, if a company like ADV makes a decision like that, I'm not going to complain about it because I understand that what I'm doing is illegal. I just do it, anyway. ^^;; And for the record, downloading fansubs is illegal, too. It's just more ethetical for anime fans to download them because they haven't been licensed yet and so nobody really cares when it's not licensed, but fansubs are still illegal.
AkaiYuki:
Hmm, you can't exactly claim that they don't make a big deal out of it, you don't know that... It's just like music downloading, nearly all the artists/owners of the music hate it, but the thing is: catching people who download is hard to do. It has NOTHING to do with whether they care. So, I bet that the anime licensers DO care, but like I said, they can't catch anyone because it's a difficult thing to do.
Also, I don't see how what you said defines "respecting a company" at all.. And for the record, in some countries, fansubs ARE legal, and those laws change constantly. (Just like music downloading laws, sometimes it's OK, sometimes it's not, and in my country, it's LEGAL.) Also, most people who download the fansubs say they are willing to buy the series if it is licensed. I am not going to say that all people who say that act out on it, but I, for one, do. I always buy everything that I download as soon as I can, and delete the downloads. (It clears hard drive space, as well. ^_^)
We're getting off-topic. Time to discuss dubbing: I actually just thought of a series I like that had a pretty good dub, has anyone here seen "Mahou Tsukai Tai!"? Then again, even if the dubbers picked good voices, like we've been saying, I bet the dialogue still wouldn't have the same effect in English... Although they did well in both of those aspects with Mahou Tsukai Tai..
Cardcaptor Takato:
If Tsubasa does get dubbed, I'm hoping they'll use the Bang Zoom cast from the dub of the second CCS movie again. I really liked those VAs a lot and would love to hear more of them. About the honorifics, maybe they would leave them in the dub and include like a little pamphlet with the DVDs that explains them. Didn't the Strawberry Eggs dub leave the honorifics in it? I seem to remember reading that they did but I never saw it, so I wouldn't really know. I don't understand why they keep the honorfics in English versions of manga but don't for the official subbed versions of anime DVDs. Most people who watch anime also probably read manga, so they'll find out about the honorifics sooner or later and most of the people who will watch Tsubasa will be CCS fans who probably already know about the honorifics by now, anyway. I could understand why they wouldn't include honorifics in anime DVDs back when manga wasn't very popular, but now manga is more popular and more manga companies are starting to keep the honorifics, so why can't anime DVDs do the same?
