Bread Makes You Fat?
First, before I start, I would like to address some of the reasons people have given to me as to why it couldn't happen.
It's too niche of a series: Even niche series can get redubs. Prince of Tennis, which was originally dubbed by Viz in a slightly edited state, was later redubbed by Funimation in an uncut state.
It's too long: Prince of Tennis is technically longer. Sonic X has 78 episodes, while Prince of Tennis has 178. Funimation is dubbing all of those 178 episodes.
It's a bit too risque for Sega: Honestly, the only things I could see being a bit risque are Rouge and some of the swearing. Rouge shouldn't be changed at all, as that is her character. As for the swearing, maybe tone it down a bit, but replace it with more milder swears.
And now on to the reason you are here. Here is why I think Sonic X needs an uncut dub, and how exactly it could work.
All things considered, Sonic X is still very popular in the Sonic fandom. It is probably the most game-accurate adaptation we have as of now. Chris may be a bit of a whiny brat, but maybe a new actor/actress could fix that. Also, a new dub would have less cheesy lines (if you have seen the 4Kids dub, you know what I am talking about). Because most dubs nowadays stick to being as close to the Japanese version as possible, the lines in the uncut dub would be genuinely funny and pretty serious when it needs to. That leads into another thing: dubbing practices have changed over the years. Most dubs nowadays are uncut. They even keep the original music intact. This is something 4Kids did not do. The soundtrack in the dub never stops, it just keeps playing. A new dub would not have that problem.
Now, how exactly would a new dub work? Well, it would have to be recorded in Los Angeles, because that is where the voice acting for the games is recorded. The current games cast would reprise their roles. It would most likely be distributed by either Viz Media, Discotek, or TMS Entertainment's US branch.
So, what do you guys think? Are you now convinced that an uncut dub of Sonic X is possible? Or do you disagree with my points? Let me know.
