...See, after the whole 'Naruto' incident (i.e., 'Believe it!'), the head of Localization at an american anime developer (wasn't told which) was fired. Now that they have a new head of localization, said company is going to start over, on square one.
What's this mean?
Simple: The anime from the 90's--Dragon Ball Z, Tenchi Muyo...uh, Sailor Moon...is gonna return, only this time, better--the voice acting will be far better, things aren't gonna be over-censored, several useless plot elements are going to be cut out (in Sailor Moon's case, some guy who used to be Tuxedo Mask's friend but betrayed them all is gonna get cut out of the series).
Now, this is coming from the same guy who told me that there's gonna be a second season of flcl and Elfen Lied. Neither have I proven, but it's rather believeable.
Does anyone (*ahem*, oooog) know if it's true (including the flcl and Elfen Lied rumors)?

This re-localization thing is probably another hoax as well. The main reason being that Dragon Ball Z was localized by FUNimation, while Sailor Moon was localized by DiC Entertainment.

Anyway, I heard about this 're-dubbing' thing to. But i can't say i'd be interested in a 6th version of DragonBall.

Same here, but watching a better version of Tenchi Muyo would be cool...

Hooray english subtitles. And beer.
Like you said, it's a rumor. Don't count on any large scale redubbing.

And what was this "Naruto" incident?
Post by: Dragoon de Sol on January 21, 2007, 04:12:38 AM
It was a mistranslation. It was supposed to eb something like "You'll see."
At least, I think that may be it.

As for the localization rumor, that's an obvious load of crap, as there is no single person in charge of it all. DBZ and Sailor Moon were imported and dubbed by Funimation, and Naruto was imported and dubbed by 4Kids. Separate companies. Plus, do you not know how much money that would cost? They've already done the 100's of episodes of DBZ and SM in english and edited them. To go back through again, re-edit them all, re-release them all, and make new DVD's and ****, it's just not smart business. Maybe it's possible that they are a bit more lenient on the movies for DBZ and SM as there are still some to be translated, but no way is the entire series being redone. Not enough profit to be made.

Naruto: I...... don't...... BELIEVE IT!
The whole Believe It thing was translated that way because it was supposed to appeal to kids more on the Tsunime (sp?) TV station. Originally, it was "You'll see" and "Bitch".
As in: "I'll kill you, Bitch" instead of "Believe it, I'm gonna kill you".

But redoing every series? Where is the money in that, cartoon network (Being just about the main english Anime channel in america.) Won't reshow the whole DBZ series like they did, they wouldn't make any money on it, as opposed to showing something new and gaining profit.

For once, we agree on something, Meis--it just might be true. There's legit 'H' of Mamoru and Serena in bed, done by the creator of the series (how else did Chibiusa get made?)
At any rate...Razor, you've surprised me. And, I'l gonna be keeping my hopes up on this rumor....

Anyway, I did find some information on this rumor. There are no reliable sources of this information though. It's just like the Sonic in Super Smash Brothers rumor. It gets a lot of people worked up, but most likely, you will be disappointed.

Oh yeah, well, tentacles are the easy one. Every monster in Japan has tentacles.

If you´re gonna broadcast a anime, ****, do it in it´s whole! Animes are also a expression or art. Would you cut a Picasso in half cause you think the othe half is not appropriate?
Another thing...They even RE-EDIT videoclips! Like, Silverchair´s videoclips are all changed in the american version...WTF? And I have lots of other examples...

The Sonic and Tails rumor in Super Smash Brothers Melee was an April Fools Joke in EGM, like 'Lord of the Rings Racing' for (allegedly) the PSP, a 'realistic' version of Zelda: The Windwaker being recieved for pre-ordering Twilight Princess, and zKen and Ryu's master being unlocked in Street Fighter by not doing anything against M. Bison for ten seconds (note that this was later used by Capcom for unlocking Akuma--thus, we owe EGM for Akuma. Yay!)
Also: that spider-monster (thank you, Meis)--seen worse. Myotismon's final form in Digimos Season 1, anybody (his second frikkin' head!)? Or the rather 'dominatrix'-ish manner that he was held in place? Or, the Centipede Queen in InuYasha (wasn't she topless...)?
That's anime for ya....

I'm pretty sure that we had already come to the conclusion that it was a joke. As for Akuma, who cares? Real men use Guile.
Anyways, anime will always have sexual innuendos, and I believe at one time you actually started an argument with me about how many animes aren't sexual, then you say "That's anime for ya?" Not cool. But it is true. Hell, the sword from Tenchi Muyo is obviously a dildo.

Uh... I wasn't saying all animes have penis monsters. I'm just saying, that, by typing in SailorMoon Monsters at the image search, that was the first monster that came up. A lot more monsters like that are in SailorMoon, at least if my memory serves right. I've only seen ten or so shows, as it used to be on in the morning before school, but I outright remember nearly every monster they fought having several tentacules protruding from it's body.

They're coming out with a box set with every episode.
and I am a loyal DBZ fan and I shall buy this box set regardless of the price!!!
Also I do believe the Sailor Moon thing is true because when something happens with DBZ... the same thing happens with Sailor Moon. I do know Cartoon Network will be airing Sailor Moon Universe in June. I shall watch it like a lil fag.
