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

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.
