Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

New English clip.

84

I’ve had the opportunity to watch this for weeks now, thanks to EVS, and after this clip, I’m glad that I haven’t taken it. Did the Japanese force dialogue changes? I ask because the “pun” about the “package” sounds like the typical lackluster Japanese attempt at that sort of humor.

Marchi’s dialogue lacks zazz, I don’t know what’s going on. Her lines have the same lack of zazz that the dialogue (which she wrote) in B Gata H Kei had. I’m not sure what’s going on with that. Luckily Monica Rial is awesome.

What isn’t awesome is that I didn’t laugh during this clip, or any clip I’ve seen. This is like Funimation’s inferior version of Super Milk Chan. :frowning:

I had to post this!

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt Voice Actors say $#!t

Well, after finshing up **Psychic Squad **coll. 2, we decided to pop in P&SwG.

WOW…simply…WOW!!!

…and people have the gall to complain bout Steve Foster dubs.

87


I knew it was going to be “one of those” type dubs, but in PSG’s defense, it was pretty raunchy to begin with.

88

I’m not sure what salad dressing I would describe this show as being, but I don’t agree with your assessment of ranch :wink: B)

I was honestly disappointed in the dub. Funimation is pretty good at creating raunchy dubs for shows which were raunchy originally, like Desert Punk, but their dub of this fell way short of that mark IMO. As Chris Ayres says, blame the director. Maybe Clinkenbeard will become a better director in time? I do hope so as she is directing quite a lot these days…

89

The only thing I complained about was the deletion of the iconic/Zombieland homage line “Double tap, baby!”, which they corrected.

As for P&SwG, I think I may still be too p***ed off at Funi to care about it. I saw a preview at Tokyo in Tulsa and I was underwhelmed-but then, maybe it was also the “convention manager” drone they had showing it.

My only complaints about Foster dubs are when his genius has to be restrained to make a “serious” (read: lamer) dub, namely Angel Beats. I think that there was plenty of room for more Fosterization in HSotD, but for reasons that I would like to forget, there isn’t.

Strangely enough, Funimation’s PR crew are pretty weak public speakers. Adam Sheehan ain’t no Demosthenes, that’s for sure. They could improve by hiring Bob Napton of Bandai fame. Or they could have the directors and actors do the promoting for them; Chris Bevins and Josh Grelle were much better promoters than funi’s dedicated PR crew when they were promoting Princess Jellyfish this past winter.

I don’t know what happened but Jamie Marchi seems to have taken a nose-dive in quality, especially as a script writer. I thought her older stuff, and even her bit in Spice and Wolf, was pretty good, but this newer stuff doesn’t measure up, with her performance in this being the new low in the decline.

I thought the show was terrible in Japanese, but this dub could have done so much more. The more I think on it, the more I get back to Chris Ayres’ “catchphrase” of “blame the director”. Ian Sinclair delivers a performance that is worlds better in the contemporary dub of Shiki, Marchi has been awesome elsewhere as an actor, Monica Rial’s awesomeness didn’t seem fully utilized…all of which brings my blame back to Colleen.

Out of all the actors they had to make regular directors, why her?

91

Am I the only one that noticed this is a parody of the “Power Puff Girls”?

Being parody, the voice is prefect. Panty is Blossom, Stockings is Buttercup and Garter is the professor.
Sorry there is no Bubbles.

92

Nah, I’m not seeing the parody.

93

Realize the City, People and Police look just like Power Puff Girls.

The cut scene when Panty and Stocking goes to the city look the same as Power Puff Girls.

There most likely other Parodies going on as well with other shows.

94

More importantly, you said that the cast was a parody of pp girls. I do not see that.

95

Gotcha. I did not mean the voices sounded the same. The over dramatic voice acting is due to match with PPG. It possible VA for Japanese PSG matched with Japanese version of PPG. It might have been lost in translation when move to PSG to sound more like the American PPG.

I do think Stocking is trying to sound like Buttercup, agree not a good job if that is what they were going for.

Garter and Panty are just off.

96

Monica Rial sounding like Tommy from the rugrats (aka Buttercup)? I just don’t see, err hear lol, that.

Mmm…yeah, think I’m gonna wait for the reviews on this since I keep hearing/reading that the JP BDs just aren’t good; and in the slught chace Funi does their own mastering, they still won’t be on my priority list.
