wow... lotsa negative responses about animax's dub on TRC... Sometimes, I think that animax sometimes think that 1 set of dubbers should be enough for all their anime, just to keep those viewers interested at the same time be familiar with each characters voices as well as to make comparisons between anime much simpler....

However, although having TRC on animax is cool, me thinks teh dubbing kinda stinks... (Although I'm a big fan of that guy who dubs mokona/kero-chan, his voice is so kawaii... XD) and after just a few runs, their voice dubbing can get boring...

*sighs* I wish animax would have just sticked to just showing anime in their original dub with subtitles below it.... I kinda miss that... :,-(

It's the result of their polls (I think).

It gets annoying reading subtitles sometimes.

Sometimes, it can be annoying, but w/o those subtitles, it'll be next to impossible to understand what the characters are saying... Unless you speak/understand the language they're using of course... Me thinks animax's polls might be a bit to biased... <_<

Also, not all anime of animax has been dubbed into english... GTO for one is a popular anime that is not dubbed.... yet... 0.o

Eh, I don't think so. O.O I got a lot of encouragement from my other forum friends. Another forum friend of mine sent them an e-mail too.

Tis is what I said:

To whomever concerned,

I hate to say this, but I am very disappointed in your dub for Chronicle of the Wings, otherwise known as Tsubasa Chronicle. I have seen the Japanese subtitled version of the whole season 1 as well as the first two episodes of Season 2, and I am not very pleased with some of the things you've done to Tsubasa Chronicle. For one thing, I dislike your renaming the anime. I also dislike Sakura's calling Syaoran "Syaoran", when in the original Tsubasa Chronicle she had started calling him "Syaoran-kun" ever since she woke up after losing her memories. I believe that the honorific "-kun" is very important to this story, most especially for Sakura and Syaoran's relationship, because it just shows that they are no longer as close as they were before. I will also have to admit that I am not very happy about their voices, I think Syaoran sounds older than he is, Fye sounds somewhat like a gay, and Mokona--Mokona's voice is the worst. It doesn't fit it at all. And Fye not using the nicknames "Kuro-puu" and such for Kurogane did not make me happy either. All in all, I am not pleased with Chronicle of the Wings. Thank you very much for bearing with me.

Lonely Werewolf-chan, you're so impressive. At least, through that e-mail, you let the Animax staff know what we viewers think of their version of TRC!

Any response to that email from the guys of animax? 0.o

Ying Hua · « **Reply #151 on:** May 23 2006, 06:54 pm »

None. I'm not even sure if the e-mail reached them, because the page didn' t respond after... Annoying. -__-" Trisha-chan did send them another e-mail though! I'll ask her!

Tenkuuken · « **Reply #152 on:** May 24 2006, 04:03 am »

We should write something like, "We, avid and concerned fans of the anime Tsubasa Chronicle," etc. or something. And then we can make a siggy campaign! XD

Konata Izumi · « **Reply #153 on:** May 25 2006, 11:45 am »

Well, sometimes siggy campaigns works, sometimes they don't.... And I don't think Animax might even hear our complaints.... 0.o

*sighs* I really really REALLY miss those days when Animax still shows anime in the original dub... 0.o

Cherry tiger · « **Reply #154 on:** May 25 2006, 12:17 pm »

Hey... not to mean anything but you can't blame them for not adding the honorifics in the dub. Not many people will understand the honorifics, especially those who aren't avid anime fans like us. I know it's important, I understand that very well... but it isn't easy to dub for a wide vast of audience who aren't just anime fans but people who just prefer to watch as "entertainment", meaning they don't understand Japanese culture a lot. So give them a break on that one...

As for the voice actors and the changing of the title, I agree. They need more voice actors and I see nothing wrong in keeping the title... unless it's another case of reaching out to more people who don't understand Japanese.

well, the only major thing about the honorifics happenes in koryu, when Ryanban tries to trick syaoran into thinking he captured sakura...the fake sakura calls out "Syaoran, and syaoran knows taht the CURRENT sakura hasnt done that yet, and wouldnt start right when she's trapped so yeah, the honorifics are important there

and fai using nicknames for kuro is VITAL. with out them, then fai loses half his personality and people are left wondering why kuro is constantly yelling at fai about his name.

I know it's important, but again think about the amount of audience who will understand that significance... the one about Sakura calling Syaoran's name without a honorific. Like I mentioned, not a lot of people will understand it... and not all of them will be bothered to watch the show if they contain a lot of confusing terms, thus losing a lot of the audience will probably stop bothering to even watch it (and I'm sure you'd want to have more people liking the series).

I'm not sure how the dub will handle that part... (if they did and you guys mentioned it, sorry... I didn't read all of the topic. >_<) but I know their interest was to at least garner majority of the audience, not just anime fans.

As for the nicknames, even if they don't add the "-tan" "-pyu" and all that, I know they used Mr. Black, but again how many people will understand it? Mr. Black may make a lot more sense because a lot of people understand that and they'd at least know that it's meant to insult Kurogane. Though if I were to dub and think of all that, I'd probably make the nickname a lot more creative than that... -___-

Always keep in mind what dubs are for. It's to cater for a larger audience, there are still those who watch the show merely for entertainment and do not understand the Japanese culture. From what I know, Animax caters for Asians and thus not all will have access to the internet (even down here in Malaysia it's the same case) meaning that they cannot search up on Japanese cultures and the meaning.

Remember, Cardcaptors was still popular even though the story was bad. Just be glad that they didn't alter the story like Cardcaptors... for then the meaning of the anime will be lost and from what I know... the Animax dub has been pretty loyal in that sense so far.

All right.... that's wrong. So so wrong. You can complain about that!
