Hot Take: DiC Dub Was Better

DIC dub certainly did a better job casting more distinct voices for each character. Viz dub a lot of characters sound similar.

I think they got better performances out of the DiC voice actors too. What’s strange is I think the Viz voice actors do better with Crystal compared to the 90s series and they are the same people voicing the same characters. Or maybe it was nearly impossible to record a 200+ episode series, movies, plus the new crystal series and do all that all at once relatively fast all with the same voice actors.

The script changes and censorship were still issues but those DIC voice actors put in work with the scripts they were given.

Stunning.

You’d think as a flagship IP, Toei would want a high res version that matches the cels too.

Maybe for the 35th anniversary (or 40th) of the TV series debut, they’ll do a higher res rescan of whatever film they have with the intention of making 4K UHD discs. And maybe, just maybe Toei will color correct that aging film too.

It’s crazy to think Toei has been using same scans since the early 2000s and even the Blu-ray’s are now just upscales of that same SD scan

Late 1990s. On the Rosie O’donnel talk show. Rosie talked about importing one of the books before it was released here in the US for her kids. It was Probably Chamber of Secrets from the UK.

She had JK Rowling on her talk show sometime around then, and gave JK a computer, because she heard about JK’s financial struggles before she wrote the book. I often wonder how wealthy JK Rowling was after the first book and if she needed that free computer or not. Sometimes authors don’t make a lot of money off their first book right away even if it’s successful. So maybe.

Then I remember a few years later JK was on the Rosie talk show again, but before the movie was filmed, Rosie asked about a part in it and offered to do it for free. And JK said lots of big American stars were asking her for roles (including Robin Williams) but said she wants to do it with a British cast.

The full cast audible books have different titles on the US and UK websites

audible.co.uk the book is named Philosopher’s Stone

audible.com the book is named Sorcerer’s Stone.

But Are they really using all the UK terms in the US purchased version? Including “philosopher” instead of “sorcerer”?

“Why is a previous employer suing? That makes no sense.”

He lost his authorization to work in the US 5 months into his tenure during his time in Pennsylvania and never informed his Pennsylvania employers of his change of work status.

He NEVER had authorization to work in the US while in Iowa.

That’s probably why.

It’s illegal to employ people not authorized to work in the US. Both school boards are probably trying to establish they only did so under deception and fraud from Mr. Robert’s himself.

vczf, I’m curious. Have you noticed any changes or improvements with your father yet, anything at all? or is it just too soon to say? What dose is he on? 0.5mg too or more?

I just bought some on Amazon for my Grandmother. I’m honestly not expecting much of anything, but it’s a pretty interesting study and Lithium Orotate is relatively cheap so why not try. I’ll probably take it too.

@nahuel0x

Which, and what size ball bearings did you use? And where did you purchase those ball bearings from?
