Azumanga Daioh To Be Dubbed

Otaku no Video was only available subtitled (again from Animeigo), so is Card Captor Sakura TV I believe. I'm soooooooooooo going to wonder how they will dub the Engrish part and also all the december=teacher running/walking gag -_-; Those vid notes would be nice, but you wouldn't be able to use it as much as Excel saga since Excel saga featured a lot of on screen things that can be vidnoted.

You can just change the language and watch it however you want. So ADV's releasing it eh? I was wondering who had rights to it.

Like I said:

From my perspective, the average dub watcher is more likely to pick up something like DBZ or Gundam over a no-action, low ecchi comedy like Azumanga. Thus, taking the extra time and money to produce a (likely) poor dub would be a waste. The most likely buyers are those who've seen the fansubs, established anime fans, and otaku - most of whom will view it without the dub.

I fail to see how anyone can support wasting the time (delaying the series release) and money (increasing the investment in the series and making ADV less likely to bring future series like Azu over in the future if sales aren't "good") to do a lackluster dub job, unless, like some people *cough cough* they can't read

Bah! Foolish mortals! Azumanga Daioh cannot be ruined by a mere crappy dub!

Blah, blah, blah... I will reserve judgment until I actually SEE it, because anything else is fanboyish and irritating.

Besides, you can always watch the damn subs on the DVD, so please, what is the point in whining about this? I'll just be glad that I can finally buy the series.

I don't know what it means in English

People interested in this series should check out this site

It has a lot of information on this series, it's the site that made me want to see it

As far as I know:

It doesn't mean anything in English; it barely means anything in Japanese. It's a combination of the [magazine; insert s00perk00l fanboy Japanese term here] that the comic strip ran in plus the author's name.

I'm with Sarah on this one...

You know what has an even better chance of happening? If ADV ad-libs it to the point of wtf? And it turns out to be a FANTASTIC dub...

The more you people complain, the more ADV has a slight chance of slapping around and making you all worship the dub...

Once again, I stand by the fact that without dubs, anime will NOT prosper in America. EVAR... NOT EVEN A LITTLE...

:p

Some examples of fantasticular dubs... Virtua Fighter, Elf Princess Rane (you've GOT to give props to people who can speak THAT FAST) and Excel Saga. (damn shame that Jessica Calvello seems to have gone "turncoat")
