Title: When will TRC reach the US and other countries?
Post by: Muse_Blossom on June 16 2005, 08:50 am
Just curious on how long does everyone think it will take for TRC to reach the states and do you think it will suffer the same fate as Cardcaptors as far as dubbing goes?

Hmmm, I don't think the Anime will ever be on TV.
I'm sure they'll get it out on DVD with English subtitles.
If ADV or a company like that does it they'll probably stick on an uncut English dub, but I wouldn't watch it that way.

I noticed a couple weeks ago that they are starting to release it on DVD soon in Japan.

Could you send me a link to where the dvds are? Would like the release dates for my site ;)

I'm looking forward to a dub. Hopefully a less annoying Sakura (can't stand the Jap one). I think the first dub Sakura might suit this older one and give her the spirit she has in the manga.

Looks like they are getting the movie opening song out too.
The seiyuu who does Sakura sings it.  :tongue:

I'm highly doubting it coming out internationally/USA. But i might be wrong..
Here in the US.. if you go to a big bookstore (Borders for me) the most popular manga are sold out or there are lots of people reading that series.So in our area..most likely not that many people read Tsubasa. But as I said before..its just an opinion

I hope it will reach other countries, or at least my dad will let me get it on DVD. He can be so strict.

I disagree.  I think it'll be licensed for release in the U.S. well before the year is over.  I don't understand why you don't think this series is popular when there's a few dozen of us in this board alone talking about every tiny aspect of it.  All of the CLAMP anime that have been made in the past ten years have been picked up and licensed almost immediately and I don't think it'll be any different for Tsubasa.

It should come out in the US...a lot of anime series are taken and dubbed, after all. The only thing that will differ is what channel it's broadcast on...depending on both rating and popularity.

I really hope it'll come out in the US...because that normally means the UK will get it too!

Hmm, I have doubts about it coming out on TV.
I figure it will come out on DVD pretty quick though with good subtitles.
I'd actually hate to see this come to television.
Can't even imagine how they'd tear up this great anime.

Post by: sukina on June 20 2005, 04:08 pm
actually, your right. There's good parts and bad. Seeing how mixed up Cardcaptors was, I'd hate to see this mixed like that. I don't want it chopped up and mixed into a blender like Cardcaptors. But I want to see it in English too! I'm so confuzzled. xP

I don't know for certain but I imagine that Tsubasa will probably be released in the U.S. sometime either near the end of this year or next year.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Gundam SEED get licensed for the U.S. before the show even finished airing on Japanese television?  They'll probably release Tsubasa DVDs in the U.S. after a couple of volumes have already been available in Japan.  I seriously doubt Tsubasa will be dubbed like CC was or even aired on television.  Tsubasa doesn't have enough Pokemonish-style merchandise to interest dubbing companies like Nelvana or 4Kids for them to make a profit off of.  It also features characters from other more mature CLAMP series that have already been released uncut in the U.S.  Imagine what would happen if Tsubasa did get an edited dub after all and the kids watched it and liked Sorata and Arashi.  Then, they found out that those characters were also in X, and their parents bought them the DVDs without knowing anything about it, and then they come into the room while the kids are watching it.  All heck would break out.  Most likely Tsubasa will be released direct-to-DVD in the U.S. with subs and possibly an uncut dub.  If by some random chance it does air on television, it would probably wind up on a network that airs uncut anime like ADV's Anime Network, though I still doubt Tsubasa will be aired on television.  I hope Tsubasa gets dubbed using the same VAs that Bang Zoom used in their dub of the Sealed Card movie as I liked those VAs.

ah, yes, you make a very good point takako. still, there should be more promo about it if it is going to be staright to dvd series.
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries?
Post by: Light_Card on July 01 2005, 07:23 am
Well i think that if manga sales goes up over here(U.S.) then they might have it on like adult swim or some other thing like that. but i don't think that i would like a dub because i just love their voices and usually if i've seen a show in one language then i like it in the language that i heard it first.
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries?
Post by: Muse_Blossom on July 07 2005, 03:44 am
it will never be on adult swim. for an anime to be on adult swim, it has to be more shounen with the exception of inuyasha, but trc is too kawaii and fluffy for as

still, there should be more promo about it if it is going to be straight to dvd series.

The majority of anime that licensed for U.S. release DOES go straight to DVD.  Most of them are never aired on TV networks, so I don't understand what you're trying to say about 'more promo.'

I agree with that. Tsubasa just doesn't seem like network material for US TV. I'd be surprised if it were run on TV outside of maybe the anime channel (I have no idea what shows they run on that channel, though.) But I'm sure it'll get a DVD release with subtitles and probably an optional dub track too.

I don't think it will be released in America. I don't know how they will do the honorifics since it  kind of seems like an important  point in the show .  Like in Koryo country, they used honorifics to figure out that the Sakura and Chun'nyan in the ball was fake...
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries
Post by: Alexiel on July 10 2005, 11:06 pm
very true... great, now i have to look back in my book to find out which honorific that meant. lol. if they could trsanslate it into something else, it could be possible, but lets hope not

I dont believe america will have it on TV either. Tsubasa doesn't seem like a show they'd put on and if they did, its probably going to be on saturdays or so. but hopefully not... for personal reasons. lol

and i seriously dont want ADV to get tsubasa on their own production list... i resent them ^^

hmm...
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries
Post by: Alexiel on July 11 2005, 04:32 am
thats why it, in my opinion, should NOT be produced in the US. when something is already good the way they are, they should not be messed with
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries

where i live (canada) they wrecked card captors sakura when they dubbed it. they replaced the original text with somethign else to ignore all the love parts...ick.  :love9:  :violent5:
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries
Post by: Cardcaptor Takato on July 12 2005, 12:55 am
if they do translate it into english, how will they:

  • show the relationship of syaoran and sakura
  • fai make fun of kurogane with "kuro-puu", "kuro-rin" "kuro-tan" etc.

hmm...
If they dub it, they would probably have Sakura call Shaoran "Sir Shaoran" instead of "Shaoran-kun", like what was done with Fuu in the dub of Rayearth.  For Kurogane's nicknames, there could be a slim chance that they would keep them if the dub is uncut, but my guess is they would probably come up with new nicknames for the dub.

I don't see much problem of why it would be "troublesome" to bring Tsubasa to US. However, I too, wonder what would happen with the -kun stuff , their names, and Fai's nicknames.

Maybe good dubber woud get it and keep the -kun and such? I mean in the anime, the usage of and non-usage of -kun is sorta explained by Sakura. (Sakura calling Syaoran without -kun because they are close)

it might come onto tv tho 
isn't it kinda styled like .hack//sign  cartoon network had that one!!   but if it ever does i hope they don't butcher it!!!

Post by: Lexi on July 12 2005, 05:19 am
If TRC comes to the US, then it'll most probably come to Canada too (I live in Canada :lol:)  And I think the anime DVDs (with subtitles) usually arrive here after two-three years since the anime came out in Japan. *It really depends on the popularity of the anime as well - then it can come here even sooner* But I'm pretty sure TRC will be licensed in North America soon. *It's CLAMP for heaven's sake!*

However, if they're planning to dub it and air it on TV, I'm definitely not looking forward to that :sweatdrop:  TRC is something so precious to change *especially if it's gonna end like "Cardcaptors" :angry:* Even if it isn't so bad, I'll still wanna stick to the original TRC and buy the DVDs as soon as they come out. *I've already started saving up for them :heh:*

eww...sir syaoran? that doesn't look right since he is just 15. also it doens't look like he has a good enough status to be called "sir". kurogane and fai nicknames...i can see how that can work by saying kuro-puu and whatever :P i can see that as normal for a dubbed show. :) well that's just my opinion anyways
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries
Post by: Alexiel on July 12 2005, 06:30 am
true... Sir Syaoran? o_O i kno thats just a geeky formality. lol

if they DID bring over the -kun, etc, i seriously hope they wouldnt mis-pronounce it... good grief lol
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries?
Post by: Mina on July 12 2005, 06:43 am
I'd rather have them keep -kun and mispronounce it than take it out and put something else.... I'm afraid of what the "else" could be... :dodge:

but wait! what if they change the name themselves? *GASPS*

NOOO! They cannot change Sakura, Syaroan, Kuro-pin *cough* I meant Kurogane, Fai, and.... well, everyone else!

But still... I want it to be shown here...  ahhh.... may the anime come to US and fall into the hands of good dubbers!

Who was the one that did Fullmetal Alchemist? I thought their dubs (compared to all the other dubs that exist) were pretty good... I mean sure, they did change some of the stuff that was said in original but still....muuch better than other dubs. This dub didn't make me go  :dodge: like other dubs did...
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries
Post by: Alexiel on July 12 2005, 08:59 am
true! same thing i thought with Trigun dubbed version. only those violent animes get good dubs... why is that? Oh my dear... *prays desperately*

oh wait, theyll be sure to have Sakura and Syaoran's names stay the same (IF) but not sure about everyone else (that includes teh countries too)

seriously speaking let us all keep originality in its place for Tsubasa (excluding the japanese producers... animation from the manga *cough*)
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries
Post by: Cardcaptor Takato on July 12 2005, 12:58 pm
If Tsubasa is dubbed uncut which it more than likely will, they won't change the names.  And violent anime aren't the only anime to have good dubs.  Miyazaki films all have good dubs and with the expection of Mononokehime, they're not violent at all, and A Little Snow Fairy: Sugar is a children's anime with abosuletly nothing objectionable in it and it had a good dub.
Title: Re: When will TRC reach the US and other countries?
Post by: Koolsnowball on July 19 2005, 11:44 am
Bwah hah hah hah!

This reminds me of a conversation my friend and I had about what it would be like if Tsubasa was badly dubbed/dubbed by 4Kids (one and the same?)
*opens mouth* *pause* ... On second thought, I think half of the conversation... Well, I'm afraid to write down.

But, let's just say... We came to the conclusion that Fai would have a really *cough*weird english accent, Kurogane would have a russian accent for some reason, and Syaoran would be called 'Li' and Sakura's name would be pronounced 'Sakoora' and they would have to cut a lot of Fai-related footage 'cause... I don't know. And of course, they wouldn't mention Kurogane killing things. No, he'd just be... Uh... Actually, I don't know if we touched on that part of the show, we were either laughing too hard, or suddenly got distracted then (possibly by the episode we were watching then) and... Yeah.
Edit: Upon checking with said friend, I think we decided that Kurogane would be SENDING PEOPLE TO TEH SHADOW REALM!11!  and Fai's nicknames... They'd come up with new ones. ('Kuro-Mushy-Smushy-Bananacakes!')(*cough* We may have started getting a liiiitle random there...)

But, in all seriousness... I'm kinda afraid of Tsubasa getting dubbed. Then again, I could just be paranoid from the last time a favourite anime/manga series of mine got dubbed... *mourns her poor One Piece*

If in my country,well it only takes about 1 1/2 years when they released the DVD version.In TV showing,I think 2 years perhaps in I hope it's in Saturday(I hope its my free time)and only big problem,either 2 stations will show it but I vote for ABS-CBN 2(local channel in the Philippines) 'cause they shown last time Cardcaptor Sakura!! :hehe:
