Me With This Chapter:

this is the funniest tweet i’ve seen in months bye

The clips of the lost ZeXal dub, edited to sync with the actual raw anime clips. Check the source for the panel where these clips came from, and a little insight on how this dub was born and how it died.

“Prior to the conclusion of the Yu-Gi-Oh! lawsuit last year, the Japanese licensors of Yu-Gi-Oh! were confident of their chances at triumphing in court and taking back the rights to the franchise. Ignoring the court’s warnings not to exercise the rights to a product that it hadn’t yet secured, ADK proceeded to produce its own version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. ADK tapped Reed to direct the series with an L.A.-based cast, including Johnny Yong Bosch (Yuma), Vic Mignogna (Shark), Richard Cansino (Bronk), Cassandra Morris, Sam Riegel, and Liam O’Brien. After nine months, the result was a full-fledged product that was ready for the airwaves.

“We cast it, we recorded up to 26 episodes of it, we stripped out the music, completely recomposed to picture with two amazing composers, re-sound designed it, reanimated some sequences, and it was one of the most big-budgeted things I’ve ever worked on as far as anime goes,” Reed explained. Oh, and Yuma actually says “Kattobing” in this version, haha.

Dissatisfied with 4Kids’ work and not wanting to do business with it any more, ADK bent over backwards to make sure the L.A. team did well and were happy working on Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. Reed described how ADK sent the L.A. team hard drives full of all of the animation layers and After Effect files, giving the American producers full rein to easily edit the video as they needed. Did they want to fix the mouth flaps to better fit the English dialogue? No problem! Did they need to edit an image so the network censors didn’t get on their case? Simple!

Within the American anime production industry, obtaining such resources from the Japanese studios is completely unheard of. The studios are very protective of their properties (and who wouldn’t be?) and licensees regularly need to adapt within the confines of the animation as it is presented.

Of course, we know how the lawsuit ultimately turned out. The Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal anime by 4Kids and Konami with the New York-based cast remains the de facto version of the show, while the version with the L.A.-based cast gathers dust inside a box.”

Yes.

Thank you all. It’s been an honor.

SakuraCon 2023 Trigun Stampede Panel (Attempted) Masterpost!

There’s SO MUCH good and new content leaking out of this event, mainly on Twitter, that I wanted to collect as much as possible for us all to salivate over and save as references. I’m including as many angles and clips as I stumble across! And also I’m going to put this under a cut and add anything new that I see (and feel free to let me know about anything I missed on any platform and should be included!!!)

One little good thing to come out of the latest chapter is Genos appreciation.

-Sorry, a rant-

Despite most of the discourse I have seen about him getting me like this:

‘How can people say the most foolish things with such confidence?’ It’s been explained to us that he doesn’t work like that! And-He-Is-A-Cyborg.
