JelloApocalypse, which some of you may know for their video telling you to vote and for his scat fetish (not looking that up I hope you understand), has recently gotten into anime dubbing. The Lovely Complex Discotek rerelease comes with an all new dub written by him and somebody else, and it is rampant with changes to the source material and hatred towards the original source material.

They later went and posted a whole rant on Patreon basically talking about how they altered so much in order to make the show "watchable" and how the show was a 3/10 at best. They altered everything revolving around this tranny character that showed up because it didn't fit with the times as well. The part that shocked me the most besides from the obvious was how the show is now considered old because its from the ancient year of...2007!

This is a huge fumble on Discotek's part, though it's not directly THEIR fault that the dub ended up like this. The state of the dubbing industry is irreversibly fucked. Archive of the post.
(forgive the horrible formatting of these images an archive is being uploaded as of this post)
There is no such thing as a good dubbing company, and jelloapocalypse is a freak who was exposed as a scat enthusiast drawing underage girls and nintendo characters taking 400lb bowel movements. Everyone in this situation is a colossal ffffffffaggot.

lmao. I have also seen people report that the supposed cut scene with the mangaka is still in the show, and that the subs and dubs don't actually differ that much, so I guess Jello turbo-nuked his career for nothing? The only thing he accomplished was providing more proof that the tranny localization threat is very real.
 
I've started rewatching DBZ Kai recently. I remember my brother and I watched it on Nicktoons back in 2010. After the Frieza saga it went on hiatus for a while. At the same time my family and I were moving so I stopped watching it when I was more busy with that. When it was over we didn't have Nicktoons for a while so I lost interest even when we did get it. I just got to the Namek saga. I'm divided if I like this more or the original dub. The original dub is what I grew up with but Kai as better dialogue. Though the original lines are more memorable. I also miss Falulconer's music. Fans have always been divided over that. Personally, I liked it. Some of the voices are weird. I like Bulmas original voice more and I'm spilt on Gohans. Friezas is probably better even though I do have nostalgia for the old one even though it made him sound like a chain-smoking granny. I mostly can't wait to get to the androids as that's where I stopped watching.
DBZ Kai was what I mostly grew up with since we didn't have cable when I was little. When I finally got one of those orange box DVD sets for Christmas, I'll admit, I was a bit weirded out, in fact I liked Kai better, still do. It cut SO much filler. That and MOST of the voices are better. Piccolo is hard core in Kai. Love him.
 
so jjk just straight up ripped off fate stay night
i'm not really surprised since it was obvious from the concept of domain expansions alone, but it's the kind of obvious that isn't coy and more just stealing shit
for fuck's sake, the proto-protagonist's ability is literally copying abilities and they're in swords
Can anyone explain to me why this shit is considered good? It's just about the most generic shounen there is. I guess it's got some graphically impressive fight scenes but I actively hate every character involved and want them to die, except Nanami who's genuinely cool but dies anyway. The villains couldn't possibly be less interesting and about half the protagonists share the common shtick of just being massive assholes to everyone. Even the fights aren't that interesting to watch despite the quality visuals because any character can take seemingly arbitrary amounts of damage and getting blown through a row of trees or concrete pillars or some dumb shit, until suddenly the script demands they drop to their knees and begin spouting exposition.

Oh and of course it has copious amounts of body horror because I guess that's how they try to up the psychological stakes nowadays. It's just a mediocre and thoroughly unoriginal ripoff of Hunter x Hunter and probably a hundred other shounens that fails to replicate what they did right.

First time with a WSJ? I mean seriously, JJK isn’t great (although the power system is genuinely some of the best in manga), especially post-Shibuya where it all becomes rushed plot points and useless new characters, but this has always been par for the course. At least its more coherent and less generic than Black Clover. And unlike HXH Gege actually updates sometimes.

Really the only manga I have any hope for is MamaYuyu and Kagurabachi, and those are tentative hopes at best.
 
Okay I have to know, what did they do to Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure and Kyatto Ninden? I watched both and didn't see anything egregiously wrong but then, I'm not an expert.
They removed any references to Kitsunezuka being gay. They call him an 'okama' in the subbed version. Harimao changed the name of the villian since it was a reference to a hermaphrodite and it had warnings/notes on why homophobia in anime/Japan is bad. They've done other edits to other shows as well. I've mentioned the tranny localizer that works for Discotek and their changes a while back.

I'm positive that the sole reason why Jello didn't try and shoehorn his scat fetish into the show is that all the troons he hired would end up bitching about 'muh fetishization".

Nah, but it is the first time in a while I've been so thoroughly disappointed by something so overhyped and overrecommended to me. Last time was Chainsawman, but I can at least give that extra points for originality and much better coomerbait.
For clarity I'm not reading the manga, just talking about the anime. I always try to be charitable and assume the source may be better than the adaptation but given how many people seem to be praising the anime I'm not too sure that's even true.

Now that is in fact homosexual. These people can't just laugh at the dialog and say "it's old", no, everything must be updated for "modern" standards
 
I like how Funimation died and it's like the beast had finally been slain so things can finally return to normal then some faggot youtuber comes along and smashes that sentiment into a million pieces.

Really though, Discotek is a good company as far as American weeb shit goes and I think this is the most biting response they could have made publicly. I think they deserve credit for a public disavowal of this behavior on top of this dude having no future with them because most companies, anime or not don't even do this much unless it comes out the person has any right wing opinions.

I'm guessing you haven't read or watched Demon Slayer. Lucky you.

People always keep falling for the Naruto-alikes praying Maybe This Time it'll be a good Naruto that doesn't fuck up. And every time it fails to even reach Naruto's highs.

Not only nuking his own career but also the the reputation of Discotek being any better than CR/Sentai. Not to mention undoing years of damage control and gaslighting done by other lolcalizers on xitter.

Was Naruto even good? I remember reading the manga when it was first hitting American shores (I've been told the amount I read would be equivalent to like, the first five or six episodes) and just... I was bored almost immediately, and couldn't see why everyone was going ga-ga over this thing.

I think I tried a few of the movies later (catching them via TV airings) and they were okay.. usually I can enjoy a movie even if I'm not a follower of the actual series.... but there's so much Naruto did that I remember just not working for me. Most notably I recall the soundtrack being lame.

Dubs, for subhumans, by subhumans.


On another note, going by just my experience, usually with torrents and trackers, Discotek offer good releases, so it's a shame some faggots has to drag them through the mud.
I always found it irksome when some company is just trying to do their own thing, in whatever medium they do business, and some culture war faggot, no matter the side, is trying to drag them into it.

The manga is infinitely better. I just don't think the series translates over to anime very well.

It was okay.

The movies are all terrible. The only exception is Road to Ninja and it's so meta that just jumping into it, it won't mean anything for you.

Funi was inconsistent with their dubs. Some of them had gay/tranny jokes in the dubs and even the Roberta Blood Trail OVA even had a racial slur in it.
Discotek is the same way. They'll release stuff like Recently My Sister is Unusual, Kiss x Sis, Miss Machiko alongside Japanese exploitation/horror/pinky violence stuff. But god forbid something has a tranny or gay character in it being used for comedic effect.
 
I was pressing my brain trying to remember why I know who JelloApocolypse is and then I realised back in 2020 he made a poorly recieved Biden shill video where he begged people to go out and vote for Biden or else they wanted the resurrection of Hitler and TND

Well they feel ashamed and jealous of those older dubs made by better people, so out of spite like with jello, they over correct. If you feel there's such a problem, pull a looney tunes with the black jokes, put a disclaimer, but keep it in to preserve the intent of the people that poured their hearts into making it. It's not hard... except if you're a crazy tranny.
