Astro Boy Cameo (Episode 27)

[karmisempai]

*boogies* Yeah! I finally got to see the famous Doctor Black Jack's Operation! Cool!

Basically, my friend, Kjbionicle (www.kjbionicle.deviantart.com) told me on the day itself, this last Monday, that the night before, she saw a preview of the next episode with Black Jack in it!

I concocted a cunning scheme so I could watch it! We were screaming! It was the only thing I thought of all day!

It was broadcasted in Hero, a local channel exclusively for anime in this country. Here in the Philippines, where Kaichou Mika and I are currently staying, there are two anime channels to choose from. One is Hero and the other is Animax-Asia. The former was dubbed in Tagalog or Filipino. I could understand most of the language but I can't speak it very well.

Black Jack in Tagalog!? *imitates Pinoko OMG*

I saw part of this story in Wikipedia but it was lacking details.

The fututistic detective is Rock Holmes (Rokuro Makube in Black Jack)!? He's so careless! He landed on the kitchen table! And Pinoko's omellete is ruined!

And Black Jack, so sinister! Undoubtedly, the artists have difficulty here.

The dark skin actually looks slightly lighter, the bow was still blue and his hair goes wacho!

*imitates Pinoko OMG* Black Jack in Tagalog!? Sounds like the same guy they used to dubb for Prince Zargos in Voltes V!

And Black Jack was drinking red wine! It looks like... like... blood! Dracula!

Great trick in fooling the wizard! But then, he looks like Doctor Tezuka from Black Jack...

That's a cheeky little plan there! He took a coin, which meant nothing in the 15th century, and exchanged it for a million dollars in Astro's time! Wais!

He had a lot of lime light, too! I'm so glad!

The broom looked like it was killing his crotch though...

I still can't belive it was Rock's fault that Prince... I mean Princess Sapphire got injured! She's actually Wato!? *imitates Pinoko OMG*

I write too much...

I still can't believe they dubbed Pinoko's name into "Peni"!

[Dia Aren Marie]

I have a personal vendetta against Animax-Asia's horrible english dubs (the ones they do themselves) and our Tagalog dubs @_@;;; If only they would do them well... *shakes head*

... they dubbed Pinoco's name as PENI!?

Oh, that's still nothing compared to what they dubbed our dearest Yuu Yuu Hakusho cast, and Flame of Recca as well. *laughs*

[redred]

Wait...wait, you should hear the english dub of the episode. BJ is called Roujei or something along the lines of that. I can't spell it at all...
Oh, the dub is insanely laughable, I couldn't finish watching it that way.

Well, at least the episode itself is one of those chance things where Rock isn't killed. |D

[Karchan]

i have that ep on dvd and took ton of screenshots of it (kuro put them on the site some time ago)

[Dia Aren Marie]

...ahahaha. Oh, my goodness. XD

I wish I could see. XD I'd be so entertained.

[Huscheli]

The episode is on youtube (in Japanese)

It's very funny
I mean...the broom, the broooom!

[Dia Aren Marie]

Oh, thanks! I shall get to watching, then~

[karmisempai]

Yeah! I saw those pictures in the Shrine.

And what's wrong with Yu Yu Hakusho?

Rock's a real idiot! I can't believe it was his fault Princess Sapphire nearly got killed! Idiot!

And, ROUJEI!? WHAT!?


Anyway, my friend and I started imagining Black-Jack-on-a-broomstick as The Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz. Then, we changed it to Doctor Kiriko. No offense but we all think he looks like a witch already. Then, we added some more stuff:

Dorothy: Pinoko
Toto: Largo
The Scarecrow: We have no idea who to put here. I just thought of someone! Sharaku?
The Tin Man: Astro Boy
The Lion: Kimba
The Good Witch: Chiyoko Wato
The Wicked Witch: Doctor Kiriko
The Wizard: Black Jack
A Flying Monkey: Rock. Don't worry! He still gets to keep his shades! Ang labo!

[Dia Aren Marie]

I actually watched it last night (er, morning) but I was too sleepy to make a comment.

The artists had a really hard time drawing him, it seems, and making him look 'mysterious.' I love how, even if a UFO had JUST CRASHED INTO THIS KITCHEN TABLE, people were THROWING SPEARS AT THEM AND EVERYONE WAS DODGING, and such, he DIDN'T BUDGE. Bad-ass, I say.

The broom was too hilarious. I was laughing so loud at 3am I think I may have woken my neighbors up. XD

It's not Yuu Yuu Hakusho itself that's wrong, it's the Tagalog dub of it that is sort of weird. Well, the names they chose for the characters, anyway. Remember the names they changed for them? And how they didn't even seem to look into whether Kurama was a boy or girl? They named him Denise at first, and when they realized further into the episodes that he was a ..well, HE, they changed it to the Dennis pronunciation. XD Otherwise, it wasn't THAT bad... still not excellent quality, but oh well!

Rock's role made me lol...alot.
D'aww, Leo as the cowardly lion. |D

[karmisempai]

It was so fun! Unfortunately, people were sleeping in the same room at the time so we couldn't laugh that loud. Plus, it was a school night. Luckily, it was at 9:30. I made up an excuse to go to bed late... I did it! *prides self with cunning-ness*

Hay naku...-_-;

Animax's dubs are considerable. They do kind of a good job on the voice casting and all...but sometimes you can hear different characters have the same voices and its so obvious.

Hero's dubbing is disgusting (no offense avid hero-watchers). The voices overpower the BGM and its so obvious its being said into a mic.


Sorry about the dubbing criticism.
I just hate it when the sounds dont come right. Ehehe...

[karmisempai]

Don't worry, charxelle. I share your pain. I watched the OVAs on Hero. Boy, they kept on changing BJ's voice actor so sometimes it's deep, sometimes, it's not. It bothers me. I really prefer Animax. Heck, the adult members of the Tezuka in English Forum even claim they believe it's better than the US dub of the OVA!

[karmisempai]

Oh, and I just hate it when they dub it in Taglish (Tagalog + English) like Hero does... *shakes head*

[blinky]

I still really need to see this
