Cutie Honey flies a plane in episode 5 but she really should've been Hurricane Honey. Earlier in that same episode, Danbei recognizes Honey while she's in a disguise, which is arguably another error.

I find it amusing that Honey Kisaragi seemingly learns how to drive on her own around episode 9. In the first episode she could barely drive a scooter. It's implied she can only operate vehicles when she's Hurricane Honey.

This is the type of stuff I want to see Honey doing.

One of the most famous motherly voices in the industry, playing roles ranging from Maetel, Reika Ryuzaki, Nodoka Saotome, Kamaria Ray, and countless others. May she rest in peace.

I still blame Anno's changes introduced in the 2004 movie/Re: Cutie Honey for stuff like this.

You know, I *really* hope this version doesn't have a long lasting effect on the future of Cutie Honey.

They're finally bringing over the USJ show! I wonder if they're having the Viz cast dub it or if they're hiring new voice actors?

I hate that this needs to constantly be repeated but

Criticism =/= condemnation

You can love something despite (or for) its flaws. Being able to point them out means you're paying attention and care enough to notice. Thinking critically about the media you enjoy means it matters to you

This fucking sends me because the person didnโ€™t even say anything bad! Just that the new dub didnโ€™t click for them. People have said farrrrr worse things about many things about the old dub. Linda *still* gets flack for a role she took over 20 years ago.

Like most of the international dubs changed their names! Spanish, Swedish, Italian, South Korean, etc etc

Which is a little infuriating because itโ€™s like, oh, you CAN properly translate the show while keeping it in the overall style youโ€™ve established!

And despite the fact they rewrite so much, they *still* manage to make silly continuity mistakes and errors. Also, there are a few episodes that are noticeably more faithful than the rest, namely the episode where Neflite dies.

BTW Iโ€™m about halfway done with the first season of the DIC dub. Honestly, itโ€™s worst offense is just changing stuff โ€œjust cause.โ€ There actually isnโ€™t a lot of censorship, itโ€™s mostly stuff like โ€œhow about we slow down this scene? Oh wait, letโ€™s rearrange these shots.โ€œ

Iโ€™m pretty neutral. I like the old dub but I fully admit how deeply flawed it is. But I feel like I can be more forgiving considering all the circumstances. Iโ€™m not a fan of the Viz dub but Iโ€™m glad it exists. I guess Iโ€™m just that person who can enjoy multiple versions of a series!

SMF is a whole other beast. I just feel like if you are presenting yourself as the face of an American Sailor Moon network, you probably shouldnโ€™t shame fans who might like the old dub. (I know thatโ€™s not the case here but itโ€™s a common theme with her)

I just find her incredibly annoying and I hate that her tweets show up on my feed lol

The whole โ€œI was lied to, I wanted the truthโ€ is so just dramatic, like the Japanese track was right there girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚

So, she has a weird vendetta against the old dub and always makes a big deal about evil and awful it is. Playbill did some cute graphics for the musical that referenced the old dub and she went on a rampage about how โ€œawful it was.โ€ Sheโ€™s also giving people shit for liking it.

Sheโ€™s entitled to hate the old dub but like, girl, it hasnโ€™t been available in the US for 20 years now. Why are we still talking about it?

Before everyone hits me with โ€œUM ACTUALLYโ€ - yes, I know we were missing stuff like NEPs, the specials and Stars but we still had the first four seasons released here uncut in Japanese.

Her attitude towards the old dub is so ridiculously corny. Also the implication that an uncut version of Sailor Moon wasnโ€™t available in English before Viz came along is wrong.
