Americans, What Are You Up To...?

Was Going Through My Hard Disk Recently And This Suddenly Got To Me: Americans Are Damn Good At Making Their Marvel Superheroes Seem More Realistic When They Hit The Big Screen. A Webless Spider From The Comics To A Natural Webspinner In The Live Action, The Multitude Of Specialized, Crapped Up Designs Into A Single, Close To All Purpose Suit And So On.

But While They Boost Their American Superheroes, They Dump The Japanese Ones Into The Sewage System. Look At The Disasterous Excuse Of The Hollywood Dragon Ball And Street Fighter. Really Makes You Wonder If They're Intentionally Screwing The Image Of The East And Starting A Cold War Of The Entertainment Industry.

Forget Hollywood. Even When Japanese Anime Are Imported, They Had To Spoil The Image In The Name Of Americanizing Them. The Digimon And Gundam Series Are Probably The Most Prominent. The Potentially Motivational Lyrics Of The Japanese Digimon Themes Are Replaced With Screwed Up Cheery Songs That Pretty Much Put The Label "No Adults Allowed" On Digimon, While Every Generation Of Gundam Had A Unique Theme To The Music, They Had To Scrap It All, Use The Same Theme Ever Since The First RX-78 Gundam And Worst Of All (This Applies To Every Dubbed Anime), They Get Voice Actors That Are Unable To Relive The Emotion Felt By The In-Story Character. Spoils The Mood, If Anything. The Worst Case Was Probably The Dragon Ball Series' Anime. Even Malaysian Voice Actors Had More Emotion Than The American Dub.

Can't They Just Go Along With Subs? It's Indirectly Encouraging Multilingualism; You Learn A New Language. Unless They, For Reasons Impossible For The General Public To Comprehend, See's The Growth Of Japanese Language As Threat To National Security Or Some Other Cow Dung They'd Come Up With.

And Why Am I Saying This? Because Some Anime Available For Download Do Not Have The Original Japanese Voices And When I Compare To The Pirated DVDs With Chinese Subs That I Can't Fucking Understand, It Made Me Wanna Watch The American Dub On Mute. 'Nuff said.

The 19 Gang Are Finishing Their Exams Today At 4. Wonder If They Have Any Other Plans Besides Watching The Thomas Cup Tonight...

Adieu To Y'all. Enjoy Anime During The Holidays. XD
