I haven't watched all of GL yet, but I was looking forward to ADV's dub too.  Bandai's not even releasing their dub until next year so they can rush it out in sub-only format this summer, which sort of feels like a slap in the face for dub fans. I dunno, Bandai usually does a good job, but they tend to use the same actors over and over and over, you know? |

If it gets GL out faster in this country it can only be a good thing from where I'm sitting. Besides, I prefer subs; it somehow grates a bit less that way if the translation's a bit iffy, at least for me.

It should have been out about a month ago (dub+sub), but Sojitz/ARMS (the company that acted as a middleman for ADV Films and Japanese license holders) screwed up somewhere resulting in that whole ADV hiatus. And then Gainax wanted more money, apparently.
Since Bandai uses outside studios for all the dub work, the quality varies. The quality is unlikely to be bad, but like you said, Tifaria, they'll probably be a lot of familiar voices, especially for people who watch the anime on [adult swim].

but they tend to use the same actors over and over and over, you know? Ummm.... ADV does the same thing. Everyone uses their biggest name talents, which is one reason why I miss ADV's old Monster Island Studio, they nearly always brought in fresh voice actors, although their dub scripts tended vary wildly in terms of faithfulness. "He got no game." is a classic example. ADV butthurt is always fun, as it usually results in ADV insulting other companies. Saiyuki: Reload and Gunlock anyone? ADV was literally bat shit insane with anger, that Geneon "stole" the shows from them or insulting their fans, Gantz. which sort of feels like a slap in the face for dub fans. I agree with you on this one. Bandai could have used the ADV dub but, in all likely hood ADV didn't want them to, so Bandai has to create their own L.A based dub from scratch. And I apologize ahead of time if this might have come off as rude. |

Gundam 00 on TV huh? Let's pray it doesn't tank. It probably will. Gundam SEED ended up doing horribly on American TV, after all. And if I recall correctly, 00 requires a bit of knowledge from previous series to full understand the plot. I wonder how previous Gundam series did in the U.S., ignoring SD Gundam, of course. |

SEED was a bunch of crap, though.

G Gundam did pretty well, the OYW OVA's did ok, the original TV series didn't even get threw one showing (CN said 9/11. but we all know no one was watching). As for 00, it might do ok, I hope it does, cause it's actually really good, second best AU next to X, which bandai really needs to release. |

See... that whole "AU" thing will probably keep me from watching. I mean, I'd give it a shot if it's on at a decent time, or there's nothing better to watch. But if I need to use Wikipedia at some point to understand a reference to the Zeon/Federation conflict, I'll probably just get frustrated and drop it.

As far as 00 is concerned, not to many references to UC, other than the Tieren looks like a Zaku but that's about it. Also... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-05-23/bandai-visual-usa-to-be-liquidated-by-septemberHonestly, I expected this, BV charged 50 bucks for 2 episode, sub only, no extra DVD's. Hopefully, Bandai ent, will consider dubbing Super Robot Wars, as dual language, with a higher episode count, and some extras, here's hoping. |

I don't expect dubs for what's already been released (though that would be nice), but I'd be surprised if BEI keeps BVUSA's ridiculous pricing format.

Oh no you didn't. Gundam SD Force rocked so hard. Make it so. |

This might be old news, but I'm posting it regardless. It seems the folks down at Dreamworks are planning on making a "3-D Live Action" Ghost in the Shell movie. http://www.variety.com/VR1117984029.htmlAll I have to say is "MEH" |
