Yeah, well, they also could waited a little longer, Cartoon Network could have invested a little more in their highest rated program, and so on.VegettoEX wrote:Haven't you mentioned this in this way before, and haven't I explained how the business deals actually happened as opposed to what you're projecting onto the situation...?Kakacarrottop wrote:Well at least FUNi weren't a-holes and didn't just completely abandon her, unlike when they ditched the Ocean cast for cheap replacements like Linda Young herself in 1999
FUNimation was in no position, financially OR logistically, to continue to outsource voice recordings to Ocean Studios. It was literally "we either find local talent or our production on this show is over."
(In a nutshell: look, I think the 1999 dub is an absolute pile of stinking shit, too, but let's be goddamn adults about it in 2015.)
I don't hate FUNi's dub, it did meld into something of it's own at the end of the day, but to say that these possibilities weren't at all logical is stretching it, I think.
