Seconded... though considering they got FLCL and GITS, it's actually not terribly surprising that they're risking this one. I'm scared of the edits though... there are so many things in there--nudity, child pornography--well, it'll be interesting to see what the final edits look like.angelx03 wrote:I have to say, I'm really surprised that Adult Swim got Paranoia Agent. I hope that does well.
Adult Swim doesn't "make" the anime. It all depends on the calibur of voice actors, script writers, and ADR directors that a licensing company hires.Dark Fighter Miku wrote:What adult swim is doing, is CRAP! Don't get a wrong, but I hate the anime that they put on Adult Swim. I can deal with Wolf Rain and Full Metal Alchemist, heck I even like Cowboy Bebop dubbed, but as far as making animes like Inuyasha dubbed........I mean what the hell were they thinking?!?!
I will stick by Adult Swim but if they keep putting crap dubbed anime on their station; well I don't know how long it will take till I crack.
I know this, I just can't stand to see good anime go bad, and the fact that they air such crappy dubbed anime is beyond me.someperson wrote:Adult Swim doesn't "make" the anime.

I agree, the Inu dub could have been better but Adult Swim doesn't have control over that (even though they can choose whether to air it or not. Rabid fangirls would lynch them if they canceled it, though).
I can't say how good the dubs will be for Samurai Champloo and Paranoia Agent (a review on ANN.com did give Paranoia Agent an A for dub, though). Based on what I've bought and rented, Geneon tends to do a decent job on dubs.
