    The Unified Discotek Media Thread

    Unlikely to happen, Monster Farm didn't sell well, and we are lucky they are even completing Keroro Gunso. So Discotek is unlikely to do a subtitled only release for any long kids series again. The series would be subtitled only, Discotek don't have the funds to do an English dub for any...

    Faithful fairy / folk tales?

    Have you come across any faithful animated fairy or folk tales? by faithful I mean sticking to the original endings at the very least, but the more accurate the better. Classic Tales by Neptuno Films is the only cartoon series I have watched, which kept the original stories, as best I could...

    Why don’t some companies dub the anime first then edit for tv in the past?

    This might actually be true, Madman Entertainment licensed One Piece for a DVD release in Australia back in 2005, and were planning an uncut release, but had to cancel plans not long after (2006).

    Shows That Are Seen In A Better Light Nowadays

    No, you don't understand the situation at all. The backlash was due to the series been advertised as a He-Man series, when it was actually Teela's story. And the series was basically another strong female empowerment story, rather than offering a actually good female lead that grows (i.e...

    Misconceptions that you see about cartoons?

    I used Dragon GT as the example, the early episodes actually copied the original Dragon Ball series, and they forced limits on Goku, which just ended up annoying. Goku is literally the best example of an over powered main character, with no room for growth at all, but they won't stop using him...

    How many characters is too much?

    You can never have too many characters, the problem is when the characters lack any depth. Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a good example of an animated series, with a large cast of characters, that were well integrated into the story. Using your example of Justice League Unlimited, the...

    Was Digimon’s dub better than you remembered?

    The video is basically stating the English dub isn't as bad as other dubs, that is a rather poor argument to make. I watched the English dub of Digimon on TV, and later the Japanese versions, the tone is completely different in the Japanese versions, especially due to the pointless jokes added...

    Is the Era of action adventure cartoons for kids over?

    No, they are still around, if you search the various streaming services, and look more worldwide. It depends what you are looking for in an action adventure. More recent series are aimed at younger children, and many tend to focus too much on the comedy side. I really enjoyed Amphibia, and Owl...

    Misconceptions that you see about cartoons?

    Except Dragon Ball Diama will be Dragon Ball GT all over again, Dragon Ball GT clearly showed you can't just de-age Goku, because there is no room for the character to grow. The problem is the Dragon Ball franchise can't move beyond Goku, the only way to do a fresh adventure would be to use...

    Gundam Seed 21st Anniversary

    I liked the character's struggle and conflict in the original Gundam Seed, until I made the mistake of watching the sequel. Gundam Seed Destiny felt like the fear of change, the main characters from original act like gods, cause more damage then the other factions by their actions, and still...

    Streaming Doesn't Treat Kids Shows Well

    I couldn't disagree more, streaming wise, Disney is the worst, especially for international viewers: Amphibia and Owl House were only added, after season or split season ended. Owl House Season 3 was literally available for free on YouTube, long before it was even added to Disney+ There is a...

    Can someone confirm whether the series is actually in true widecreen or not? nothing on the back cover to indicate the aspect ratio

    "Scooby-Doo" Direct-to-Video Animated Features News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Why even do a Krypto cross over, if they aren't going to use the characters? the major DC characters were never the focus of the TV series
