FMA dub episode 50

[timepiececlock]

Episode 50 discussion, page 10: the exact page on the AS boards where people blow their tops. Aahhh, I remember that viewing experience. There was screaming and freaking out galore.

Fantastic performance with the dub, just like the last few episodes. My only sadness is that Ed's line "Don't fuck with me!" was changed to something a little more tv-safe. Will it be on the DVD, one hopes?

To my great pleasure, they didn't cut out either of the two really bloody scenes in this episode, the one with Wrath and the one at the end. I'd been wondering how they were going to handle it considering you simply CAN'T edit those scenes out and expect the episode's events to make sense, and AS had edited things weaker than that before. I guess by the time they got this far they just threw their hands in the air and said "Aw, screw it! This show's too gorey to fix. We'll just have to play it as is."

Ooh, and a very amusing/traumatic link: Click here only if you've seen episode 50 and need to scream. This is the spoiler of all spoilers. Well, the second-best spoiler of all spoilers cause nothing tops alternate universe zepplins.

EDIT: This is either the best or worst FMA shirt I've ever seen.

geglash: Okay, okay, here's my theory: Ed isn't dead. Can't possibly be. No way in hell. The show will think up some slippery sh*t to get him out of it................

........and everyone will live happily ever after (except f*cking Envy, he'll drown in a pool of lava) and eat lollipops and snuggle puppies and la la la la la.....*curls into fetal position*.............la la la la la la la la la la la.........

"pool of lava" is so nicely original and graphic.

I'm sure I've told you this more than once, but I've only come across one dub I thought surpassed the Japanese - Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Too bad the show wasn't exactly my thing, I could've watched that in dub as happily as Japanese.

I can't get far into a dub, unfortunately. People think I don't try to give them a chance but they just kill me sometimes. I have to confess that the worst dub I've ever heard was Hellsing's. I know the characters are actually SUPPOSED to be English - well in the case of Walter, Seras and Integral - but hearing them with these cheesy accents was painful. What made Witch Hunter Robin's horrible was that you knew it was supposed to take place in Japan, the characters were Japanese, but here they are speaking in these overacted English voices. And they did overact in the WHR dub. Badly.

While the dubs I watched back in the 80s are worse than those I've seen today, they're what turned me off of anime for so many years. Whenever I hear them, I can't help but cringe 99% of the time. I always feel like I'm an elitist when I say that, too.
