Tsukuyomi Moon Phase dub (14)

1 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-05-30 01:32 ID:I3oOhuvs

I saw a couple of episodes at Anime North. The voices are acceptable(Seiji's was even pretty good iirc) except for Hazuki, who sounds too obviously like an adult woman trying to make a child's voice. That's not why I made the thread.

The OP and ED both had the vocal tracks removed! What the hell is Tsukuyomi without Neko Mimi Mode?! The opening fell completely flat with the instrumental(karaoke?) version. It completely baffles me why they would make that kind of change. Don't dubs usually leave the sub the songs or use english vocals?

rights issue, maybe?

That's pretty weird.

Neko Miki Mode is based on Dmitri From Paris' Love Love Mode, so maybe there would be some licensing issues with that, but I don't see how removing the vocals would change anything. That's just bizarre.

Maybe they're working on a English vocal version?

or ending. subtitled version too! the original composer wouldn't give sunrise the rights. whether it was because he wanted an unreasonable amount of cash or because sunrise is cheap is a mystery whose answer we can only speculate about.

The Zeta theme songs were written by Neil Sedaka. True story.

It's probably just Bandai being cheap, although when someone asked him about it he didn't reply.

There is seriously no Neko Mimi Mode? Fuck it then! I want neko mimi or no purchase!

Man oh man oh man, and I deleted my fansubs! Neko Mimi Mode has to be on the DVD, I don't care if it's not the dub as long as the sub got it. Why would Funi do that, Take out a song that spawned a million references on every otaku message board.

From a Funimation rep on AoD:

*It's a freaking preview DVD we burned from work with only two episodes. You'll have the Dimitri From Paris song on the DVD.

The sky is not falling.*

There you go.

Forget dubs. There's no point unless you're illiterate.
