I am sure most of you are familiar with Kodomo no Jikan. I am not sure how many of you know this but it almost had an English release on Adult Swim back in 07. The question I have is how do we get Kodomo no Jikan dubbed in English? Is there any fandub project or is there any way to convince some company to get an English release?

Firstly, nobody will touch it.

Second, the anime is pretty bad, even if not compared to the manga.

True, the manga is better but I still feel there should be some English version, surely someone would be interested.

Why would you ever want to dub anime?

All loli shows suffer from it. They are focused on pandering to lolicons instead of being good in any sense. They are as shit as every other show that uses pandering in place of being good.


 No.29787

Eh, it served its purpose to advertise the manga, which was a good read. And also, the 6th episode was executed decently. I like my feels.

The manga was even worse, it suffered even more from the same thing as the show.

I'm calling bullshit on that too. It barely got on TV in Japan:

The few channels that ran it very late at night heavily censored it.

I stand corrected, it was the manga though it doesn't matter as I can get it online free: http://www.animenation.net/blog/2007/05/30/american-release-of-kodomo-no-jikan-canceled/

07 was right at the peak of loli popularity in the West, just before tumblr and social media usage rapidly spread throughout the net and started exposing the masses to the existence of virtual child porn. It was the best period for loli fans and cartoonists outside of Japan. You better believe it was aired on US TV.

Like I said, heavily censored. Including dialog, using ringtones to 'bleep' out words.

'You virgin! You're a virgin too, you know!'

Yes, they censored that word. It was being fansubbed when it was running on Japanese TV so I saw the censored version. The DVDs didn't come out until about 6 months later.

>BTW, not bathing suits, 'bloomers' (gym shorts)

Do you not see the appeal to hearing lewd stuff being said with a child-like voice in a language that you're familiar with?

Actually, I've been to ask this board if anyone knows of any other anime which featured loli lewdness which managed to get a dub for this very reason, the only other one I know of is Haganai.


 No.29895

>>29894

You know what's being said, the language is relative and not relevant to what is being said.


 No.29896

>>29895

It does make a difference. You can't have someone hear something lewd in a foreign language, tell them what was being said, and expect it to have the same appeal as something lewd being said in their own language.

Hell even if the voice acting is terrible, that can add to the "so bad it's good" quality that ecchi anime typically has anyway.

By all means champion the superiority of subs over dubs, but know there will always be exceptions.


 No.29901

>>29896

But you literally can hear it, because they literally said it and you know what they said. All ecchi is shit anyways so who wants shit voice acting on top of shitty story, plot and forced pandering.

Do you not know what "so bad it's good" means?

I really can't explain why hearing a bunch of gibberish and having to be told via text what is being said just doesn't have the same sexual appeal without repeating myself over and over. I guess you'll just have to accept that some people see an appeal in something you do not.

I imagine someone who posts on a lolicon board of all places would be able to appreciate that.

It means nothing. It's a shitty excuse used to watch shit while acting like a hipster. It's shit, it will never be good no matter how shit it is.

It's not gibberish, it's a set language. It takes about 10 IQ and hearing a word or phrase 2-3 times and you know what is being said. This has nothing to do with "appeal" and is about logic. This being a lolicon board has nothing to do with any of it either.

>You can't have someone hear something lewd in a foreign language, tell them what was being said, and expect it to have the same appeal as something lewd being said in their own language.

Native language has greater appeal on part of it not sounding like a random grown-ass woman trying to choke out a cutesy voice through her lung cancer. Lewd things in Japan are geared towards that cultural context anyway. Localization of lewd Japanese things often leaves stuff lost in translation and even more so with the further restrictions of dubbing. The further you localize, the further you dilute the original meaning. If you think "big bro" sounds better than "oniichan" and carries the same connotation, you're wrong.

>"so bad it's good"

"I like to waste my time with mediocre and inferior things, but I'm too much of a spineless pussy to admit this without tired rationalizations."

Certainly there are exceptionally sub-standard works that deserve to be appreciated in that regard, your mediocre dubs notwithstanding. Applying a layer of irony to protect your enjoyment of such shit is simply being intellectually dishonest. But by all means, don't let me stop you from wasting your time; it's YOUR time after all.

I'm just a little surprised that people would not only defend dubs, but would defend dubs for lolicon material that borders on softcore porn–stuff that practically guarantees a shitty dub by virtue of the fact that no high-profile VA (lol) would dare step near this shit.
