Armagon Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 So I didn't mention this before but I've been temporarily been put out of work because I'm having to quarantine. I'm fine but my mom does have Covid, though thankfully not a severe case. We were able to catch it early so with the medication she got from the hospital, she's doing fun. At any rate, my boss told me that I can't come back to work until both me and my mom test negative. I already tested negative and I already got my first dose so I should be fine and my mom's getting tested again next week I think. But yeah, if I've seemed slightly more active here, that's why. 45 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: If given a second, anyone can give up and run So just keep on walking There's something only you can do So that this blue planet doesn't lose it's light Seize the dreams you had!

Because it was a part-time job. But I should be good to go in August at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the translation to Brave Heart, the evolution theme for Digimon Adventure. To this day one of my favorite songs in all of anime. And one of the few I can actually sing along to.

Nothing beats having a dub faithful (for the most part) to the original script and uncut. We did this for like the first four Digimon series.

DragonFlames Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Sad thing is, Digimon Adventure tri. was so full of missed opportunities. Just to name one example: the first movie peaked in what could potentially be the hypest thing ever. Alphamon vs. Omegamon (Omnimon in the west), two of the strongest Digimon out there, both part of one of the strongest groups of Digimon, the Royal Knights, and both said to be their leaders. And it lasted all of two minutes. I was disappointed. 1 minute ago, Acacia Sgt said: I think over here they just kept the Japanese lyrics for this one. I see! That's interesting! 1 minute ago, Acacia Sgt said: Unlike Butter-Fly which we dubbed to Latin American Spanish instead.

We did this for like the first four Digimon series. Definitely! Germany had this for Savers/Data Squad, too. All they did was use the names from the English translation for the characters and Digimon, until in Data Squad, they decided to go with the Japanese names for both Digimon (so Gallantmon went back to Dukemon, and Omnimon to Omegamon) and their attacks. Human characters stuck with the American dub names, so Masaru was still Marcus. for us. They did keep and dub the music from the Japanese version, though I am sad we never got the opening version of this: We did get the song in an episode, when they used it as an insert song, but... sadly, never the opening version, haha!

Oh yes, over here we also had the English names for characters and Digimon. Not the only anime dub that did this over here, as it were. I think eventually for Digimon they just begun translating straight from the English dubs. A shame, in my opinion. Although, the record wasn't spotless before, since we also got the "first three Adventure movies merged into one" thing the US did. Why they choose to dub that instead of the three individual movies while still doing faithful dubs for the TV seasons I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Germany and Latin America have (or had) pretty similar approaches to anime dubs! 1 minute ago, Acacia Sgt said: I think eventually for Digimon they just begun translating straight from the English dubs. A shame, in my opinion. I'm still sad over no German version of We Are Xros Heart and X4B The Guardian. Weaker than preceeding seasons though Digimon Xros Wars was, perhaps, the music was amazing as ever, and these two songs are definite standouts to me. But Germany decided to go with the American dub for that series, which... was a bit sad, for me. 2 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Although, the record wasn't spotless before, since we also got the "first three Adventure movies merged into one" thing the US did.

That is a mystery for me, too, as Germany, again, did the exact same thing. Imagine me, sitting there, waiting to hear the greatness of Break Up and Brave Heart on the big screen (I was actually in the cinema), only to get really, really bad rap music instead. As well as a movie with a really confusing plot. It wasn't until I actually watched the three original versions that I knew what was even going on. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
