minus-squareCosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-22 years agoA few anime’s break this rule. Like Space Dandy where the dub is clearly superior. I also want to recommend the dub of SGT Frog. It’s not as wild as Ghost Stories, but man do the VAs sometimes throw out some wild pop culture references.
minus-squareyukichigai@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up14·2 years agoAlso Ghost Stories, where the source material was so boring that giving in the Abridged/MST3K treatment made it infinitely better.
minus-squareamansman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoMost of the jokes in the Ghost Stories dub still hold up in my opinion. Timeless. I feel the same way about MST3K.
minus-squareLucidlethargy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·2 years agoThe jokes are not PC at all, so they are also arguably more funny the older they get.

He’s a dandy guy… in space.
