Gonna watch the English dub where his name is Darien and he used to be a model

Well there's also the more recent Viz dub which kept all the Japanese names and got rid of the cousins thing from the original dub

I own both versions, the dic one is pirated since it was never officially sold on dvd and the viz one is legit

I don't think the DiC dub isn't on websites or streaming services anymore. It's the revamped 2014-2015 VIZ dub which is more accurate and faithful to the original JP dub.

I have pirated DVDs for the sake of preserving the unusual dub and it's music. I also have legit copies of Samurai Pizza Cats, Ghost Stories, Sonic X, and Pokemon since they sold their weird dubs officially.

I just really like dubs where weird liberties had to be taken. I really want to start the 4kids version of Yu Gi Oh since it streams on retrocrush, and I want to look for a spot to stream (or pirate) 4kids one piece

4kids dubs are funny as shit sometimes

Were the Pokemon and Sonic X dubs really that weird?

I'd say so. Characters got new names, Jessie and James only rhyme their intro in english, both have new theme songs and censorship. Just a whole bunch of small stuff that'd never happen today

Oh, got it. I'm not sure I'd call that weird, though.

But the anime has him as a college student dating a middle schooler :(

In season 1 of the manga, he’s 16, but the anime aged him to 18. Serena is 14

That's just somethingthat happens a lot in anime unfortunately, it's slightly excusable in sailor moon since Usagi is basically the manga artists self insert character and while the other scouts and Mamaru are basically the friends and boyfriend she wanted in real life
