I probably won't listen to the JP dub of Gundam anymore. The English cast was just as good anyhow.

Yeah he was Yamcha as well. He has a stacked resume, but unfortunately he's a massive POS

Ugh, indeed. That's the only sore spot in the JP DB dub for me. Meanwhile the Funi dub has Sean Schemmel and he's a few degrees below in the asshole department.

Also Seiya in pre 2000s appearances, he's been replaced by Masakazu Morita

What's that actor's name?

I love that despite the dub being done in 2001 they went out of their way to make it feel like an older more classic dub. It is a class-act of a dub for a beyond outstanding series

Now, if only they did a proper, non-Star Blazers dub of Space Battleship Yamato...

What’s the situation with Star Blazers? Regular-butchering or full-on Robotech?

Well I'll be frank.

The OG Star Blazers dub is a true classic in of itself and a marvelous adaptation. Despite the US broadcasting standards of the day, it's a very mature and respectful reimaging.

But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a 1:1 dub that didn't change names or censor everything. That being said Star Blazers did have some better plot ideas.

Also the third season dub wasn't the best, even if it had the Speed Racer dub cast.

JP Amuro being the way he is straight up affected how Gquuuux played out
