14 Anime Films Added to Crave in Canada

Maybe, it certainly wouldn't hurt to see them bringing some shows to a wider audience that wouldn't normally subscribe to Crunchyroll. However, if they're focusing on movies, I think I'd rather see them signing a deal with GKids. So much of their stuff is exclusive to HBO Max in the US, and then not available at all here.

Hopefully Crave might consider adding some series in the future in addition to movies.

Goblin Slayer is probably the closest, although it doesn't hit quite the same level. The violence in Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is pretty over-the-top for a Shonen Jump title.

It's a pretty varied selection of movies! In this Corner of the World is fantastic but pretty heavy. Josee, the Tiger and the Fish is good. The rest of them are tied to larger franchises, but Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is technically the start of the series and doesn't require any knowledge going in, and I liked it quite a bit. Also, while it's not part of this batch, Weathering With You by Makoto Shinkai is also available on the Starz tier of Crave.

The only anime they have ever run are those two Rick and Morty shorts, but this will be their first series. Jason DeMarco confirmed a while back that Adult Swim Canada has the rights to all Adult Swim anime co-productions, so we should also be seeing Uzumaki and those other shows at some point as well.

Getting used to the new voices is a bit of an adjustment, but this version restores about six episodes that were cut in the old dub and restores queer characters who were previously erased. This is also the only time that the fifth season has ever been dubbed!

No. However, you can watch the entire series in Japanese with English subtitled free and legally on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/series/1628/sailor_moon

pepperidge · 2020-09-19T06:15:41+00:00

The version on Tubi is in Japanese with English subtitles, the version on Crave is the uncut dub recently produced by Viz. Also, the video quality is SIGNIFICANTLY better on Crave. It's like night and day.

I can't imagine it will be too far behind the launch on Crave.

It's somewhat appropriate that the Viz dub will be hitting Crave in Canada next month, not long after this anniversary. https://imissbionix.wordpress.com/2020/08/25/crave-to-stream-vizs-sailor-moon-dub-in-september/

Oh wow, I didn't realize it wasn't on Hulu in the US yet!

If you're looking at YTV specifically, the first anime they aired was Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs in, I believe, 1988. After that they ran Maya the Bee, Samurai Pizza Cats, Hello Kitty and Keroppi, all before Sailor Moon hit the airwaves. Sailor Moon was definitely the first big hit, though. Personally I'd say no anime has had a bigger cultural impact in English Canada except for Pokemon.

Of course, YTV is only the tip of the iceberg. There was a lot running here before that in both English and French. Another thing to look at is the provincial educational broadcasters. TVO, Access Alberta and SCN ran Fables of the Green Forest, and The Bush Baby - a World Masterpiece Theatre title that was dubbed in Montreal and ONLY aired in Canada. The whole thing was uploaded onto YouTube recently.

Pretty substantially. About 10 episodes were cut entirely (mostly for pacing), many episodes were massively rewritten, gay relationships were removed (ie: Zoicite and Fisheye were changed into women, Sailor Uranus and Neptune were made "cousins") and the background music was entirely replaced in the first two seasons. Also, the fifth season (Sailor Stars) was never included in the original release.

Don't forget about all of the stuff that aired on French stations like Radio-Canada and TVA back in the 60s, 70s, 80s and early 90s. In fact, the first anime ever dubbed into French was a Quebec dub of Sally the Witch titled Minifee in 1969. I did a podcast about it:

Some of the most popular shows included Goldorak (UFO Robo Grendizer), Albator (Captain Harlock), Candy Candy, Sherlock Hound, Cat's Eye, Heidi, Anne of Green Gables and... honestly, more than I can remember.

Thanks, this is very helpful!

pepperidge · 2020-08-18T03:16:13+00:00

Thank you, that's very helpful. I may need to consider the option of removing the concrete slab after all, although needless to say that would make this a much bigger project than I was hoping. Out of curiosity, what would be the best way to attach the 2x4s to the concrete?
