|
Coming back to doing this after three years made me forget how time consuming it is. But...It really does feel nice to look back on this old show. I guess I'm going through a bit of a "dub crisis" with Ar tonelico II right now...that game's translation seems to be heading down the toilet. But when I look back at this show, I realize that nothing can get worse than a 4Kids dub, as mean as that is to say. |
|
The text on the ring is taken off. |
|
Kikki: "Some mover guy strapped a grand piano onto Renee's assistant." I'd sue if someone was that stupid. In the original, the assistant was just sick. |
|
Zakuro's necklace is decrossed, as usual. |
|
(9 seconds) After being told where Zakuro is going, in the original, Ichigo remembers that the rings were from the same company. Then she smiles, runs off, and Mint gets angry. |
|
(4 seconds) As if the above wasn't enough, the beginning of the scene with Keiichiro introducing the stone is chopped off. |
|
The sign inside the convention center is de-kana'd. |
|
The song playing in the original while Zakuro walks on stage is her image song, "Don't Cry". This is taken out in the dub. |
|
(1 second) A snippet of Zakuro getting her hair snipped was...snipped. |
|
(1 second) The scene-changing pan of the stage is snipped shorter. |
|
(14 seconds) When Tsukiko falls, she adjusts her glasses then asks who Ichigo is. Ichigo introduces herself, then asks where to put the heavy box. |
|
(5 seconds) A bit of the conversation between Tsukiko and Ichigo is cut. |
|
(12 seconds) More conversation between Tsukiko and Ichigo is cut, this time it's when they're sitting on stage. This includes all the shiny scenes of Zakuro posing in jewlery |
|
A shot of Ichigo's face is moved a few seconds later. |
|
(2 seconds) A repeat of the shot of Ichigo's face is cut. |
|
(1 second) The pan back from Tsukiko is cut a little. |
|
A bit of Gretchen walking all depressed is moved to before the scenes that show that the jewelry show is starting. |
|
(2 seconds) A shot of Ichigo running up to Zakuro to tell her that Tsukiko is missing is cut. |
|
Gretchen: "I should just move back to Ohio and work in a mall kiosk." Proof that this takes place in Amurikka?! |
|
(3 seconds) The stage lights fading down is cut. |
|
The bit with Zoey getting a phone call is lengthened by a second or so. |
|
(2 seconds) The director guy jabbing his finger at Tsukiko is cut, because jabbing fingers makes little kids murderers. |
|
(5 seconds) Ichigo yelling after the director before Kishu shows up is cut down. |
|
(41 seconds) Ichigo's transformation scene is GONE, but... |
|
43 seconds are added back with the inclusion of an Animal Instict transformation scene for Bridget, Corina, and Kikki. |
|
Pie's "Fuu Shi Sen" is "Aerial Torpedo" here. |
|
(5 seconds) Lettuce running after Pie is cut...BUT! |
|
14 seconds are added back with the extra animation added into Ichigo's attack. |
|
Dren: "Now prepare to be polished off for all eternity!" It wouldn't be an episode about jewels without some jewel puns. |
|
The bit with Ichigo getting attacked with the eye beams is repeated after where a commercial break probably would be. |
|
(2 seconds) The turtle monster speaking after getting stuck on her back is cut short. |
|
As usual, Zakuro's mark on her stomach is taken off. |
|
(3 seconds) The fade down of the lights is cut agaaaaain. |
|
Corina: "I mean, talk about Mew Mew style and Mew Mew grace..." But does Renee have power in your FACE? |
|
(3 seconds) Tsukiko tossing her flowers after her walk on stage is cut. |
