Well, it must be considered that at the time of the dub, nothing foreign was remotely taken seriously. And as thus, for its time, Star Blazers has one of the most debated dubs of all time. It has even been argued that the voice of Dessular was far better in English than in Japanese. I'm inclined to defend it considering that there were indeed worse treatments at this point in the american anime timeline. Watch TranZor-Z for evidence.

I saw “STAR BLAZERS” at a hotel randomly (it was one of the pay per view movies that the hotel offered) and instantly became obsessed. Of course, the american voice acting version is, as usual, a complete butchery… Why is that always so terrible??? I would love to do voice acting for a anime, and I’d do a BILLION times better job. All they have to do is STICK TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION THAT WAS AWESOME.

And that’s why Macross Frontier hurt a little. Some fans need to know the danger their heroes are really in. Let ‘em freak out. I’m all for fan favorites being killed off. ^_^

(Then again, I love Ideon, so there you go!)

Today’s Gundam Otaku can’t take a sad ending; they must have a neat ending with as little death of main characters (read: none) as possible.

I adore the works of Matsumoto primarily, but I adore Tomino’s addition of gravity to the proceedings. Upon finding the Yamato connection-everything suddenly made sense. While one conjures dreams, the other traps us in it. Cool combo!

Aha, another follower of Minagoroshi no Tomino!
