Dub mistakes

[Lucent]

Well, maybe she's a transplant, j/k. Seriously, I don't know where my head was when I said that. Got my accents mixed up. I don't have much exposure to really thick southern/southwestern accents since I live in Central Florida, and most people here have a bland accent.

Well, I'll forgive you this time. I have a friend who was from Tampa (of course now he is stationed in Japan).

But seriously, every place has people with incredibly thick accents. Like Hitokiri Shadow said, Abenobashi has a good example of a Texan accent. Kitsune's voice is nothing like a Texan.

And just so we are all on the same page here (I guess I didn't make myself clear before ), I am not actually upset that someone said Kitsune had a Texas accent in the dub. I just want to make it clear that it is not. Sorry to keep harping on the subject.

I just finished watching the first 2 eps of ROD the TV. One of the characters mentions Harry Potter as one of her favorite book series. I don't recall what she said in the Japanese version (I deleted my fansubs of the series) but I don't think she said anything about Harry Potter.

The voices themselves are pretty good. The Japanese voices are better of course, but they're good for a dub.

R.O.D. The TV is out in America now? Anyway, I don't remember anything about Harry Potter, but I could be wrong. I've only seen the first three or four episodes of it anyway. I would've gotten more of them, but I never got around to it. I thought it still hadn't even been licensed.

It's out and the collector's box is really cool. It's like a book to hold all of the DVDs.

That's like in Love Hina, where Kitsune got a Texan accent in the dub. I'd like to see where in Texas the Japanese came from .

That reminds me of an Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade episode that came in a magazine and the main characters had Texan accents though they had lived in Japan all their lives, and the girl's father had a French accent. -.-

It's licensed (at least) by the same company that licensed FLCL, and the artwork looks the same. Is it the same creators?

Yep. Gainax produced both Abenobashi and FLCL (and Eva and Kare Kano, for that matter). Which I would assume leads to a large amount of allusions to their other properties, like the Eva references that popped up in FLCL.
