This is a useless fangirl rant journal. FEEL FREE TO IGNORE!

I was surfing DA and came across that Nelvana is supposed to be dubbing the new Metal Fight Series straight to DVD. I'm not sure if it's true, but... as someone who's iffy on the MFS to begin with, I hope they make it as good as the original dubbed series with TONS OF CAMPY, SUBTEXT-Y GOODNESS! I'll buy the first one and we'll go from there!

Now, I know a lot of people like an anime series to be "true to the Japanese" or whatever, but for kids' shows, I like dubbed. I am a sucker for shonen action and simple, but subtle complex storylines (which is why I can't get into Byakugan or Battle B-Daman). I admit I wish they wouldn't cut out so much, but on the whole, they translate well for their demographic. As much as fans like "keeping it literal" (don't GO there with me), remember who the target audience is. They're kids, not teens, tweens, or adults, but KIDS. So relax that skepticism!

I mean, as a little kid who loved Sailor Moon, when I found out that Serena's name was really Usagi Tsukino, I thought that was a stupid name. Who names their kid "Usagi"? It's so weird to a North American nine-year-old! I appreciate NOW though. And I like the puns of Pokemon names. They're cute! They just need to be cleverly chosen. And was I the only one who was impressed with the complete re-make of the Sailor Moon and Beyblade soundtracks? For their demographic, they did a bang up job. Although... some of it...

And English can sometimes make it a whoooole lot better in the laughs department. *cough*Beyblade/Yu-Gi-Oh!*cough*

I watched Beyblade and Sailor Moon in both languages, and I still prefer English. As well as Chinese and Tagalog, but that hilarity is saved for another day.

Admittedly, I don't chat with you about art much. *bricked* I like you for your honest outlook, keeping me up-to-date on Beyblade news (Squee! Fangirling!), encouragement, and critique. We all need people like you to give us feedback and just play around sometimes. I mean, what's art/anime/comics without discussion?
