Hey everyone! Just for fun, I decided to upload this little clip I made a while ago comparing this one scene from a pretty niche anime called Here is Greenwood. The show was dubbed twice, once in 1996 by Software Sculptors (sub-division of Central Park Media, also dubbed anime like Slayers and Utena, most of the cast also worked at 4Kids) and again in 2004 by Bang Zoom (Cowboy Bebop etc). I just find it kinda interesting to see the differences between the two dubs even though there was only an 8 year gap between productions.
The SS dub sticks to the overall meaning of the original scene, but clearly took a few liberties here and there, while the BZ dub is a pretty word-for-word translation. Not only that, but the BZ dub also stuck very close to the acting of the Japanese version, while the voice actor for the SS dub…clearly was having a bit too much fun in the booth.
As for the context of this scene…well, the best way I can explain is that the lady with the shotgun (named Nagisa) is carrying out an extremely convoluted plan to humiliate her brother Shinobu, who is the roommate of Mitsuru, the blonde dude. The henchman pretends to be a chick on the phone to distract Mitsuru so that Nagisa can lure her brother out alone.
Bonus points if you recognise the voice actors in each version without the need for Google!

Please tell us a little bit about what dubbed shows you've been watching for the past couple of weeks, or currently watching right now. Old or new, as long as it's dubbed we'd like to hear about it.
Anything good we should look out for? Anything bad we should try to avoid? Tell us a little bit of what you think. It's nice if you elaborate a bit on what it is you like or don't like about a show. That way your comment is useful to people who are looking for new anime to watch. :)
Writing the names of the anime in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names.
Since this is also for people who are looking for new shows to watch, please use the spoilertag if you reveal any mayor plot points of the anime you are discussing (see spoilertag section in the sidebar for info on how).
To prevent low effort comments to steal the spotlight from people who put in a little bit more effort top level comments in this thread must be at least 150 characters long (roughly 3 sentences long).

This post was inspired me after i read the comment about people dont want Gushing Over Magical Girl get english dub like this, this and this one. I guess, After what happen during the situation of Interspecies Reviewer and Redo of Healer, english dubbing and licensing company like CR and Sentai dont want to dub a borderline ecchi anime, probably because of controversy and a laughing stock from other people. And some of them get dubbed in other language like German or Latin America (Spain).
I really hope that some similar anime like Gushing Over Magical Girl get english dub someday, and I think in a perfect world, Sentai and Rightstuf could outsource the dub to a company like Ascendent Animation to dub Interspecies and Redo.

There’s that tumigachi game or however it’s called, battle game in 5 seconds, that one on Netflix where they are running around skyscrapers most of the time like they all don’t have endings lol so why even bother?
Did they change some dub actors/actresses around? I know Josh Grelle had to fill in for Scott Freeman cuz he got arrested for child pornography. But Akeno awfully sounds a lot like Raynare from S1
The king of voicing anime badasses Christopher Sabat has voiced popular characters like Zoro and Vegeta
Also unrelated but did anyone else think he voiced Roy Mustang in FMA or is that just me
