I thought the DVD release was uncut? Can someone back me up on that on, or maybe my memory isn't so good anymore. |

What? I didn't notice any footage edits from the dub-only DVDs that would constitute a necessity to redub anything. There's no reason to redub anything, nor do I expect they will. If they do, I doubt they'll be changing the cast any. And the reason there was no bilingual release until now was the fear of reverse importing and the fact that for a while, the Japanese didn't even have a DVD release. |

They did release Haruhi S2 in one set, but no the Haruhi songs were kept in Japanese on the full version CD's. And honestly, you're right. Why cast Christina, someone who was known for singing K-ON songs, if you're not gonna have her redub the songs? |

Besides, the generally accepted reason for the dub-only release was that MSG didn't have a DVD release in Japan at the time, so Sunrise didn't want reverse importation going on. (Penguintruth beat me to it) I am surprised by the announcement though; at some con a few years ago, Bandai said they weren't ever going to touch or re-release First Gundam again in any format.

Do you think she would've even been considering having not done K-ON songs on Youtube? |

The refusal to dub one episode of MSG seems rather odd. Anyone know which episode and what actually happens with it?

From my understanding it was a filler episode Tomino disliked. The same thing happened with ADV's subbed Sailor Moon release, and a wierd episode of Sailor Moon R wherein Rini befriended a dinosaur. Basically, someone in Japan said no, and that's all there was to it.
anime#46 The dub cast were all long time Ocean regulars, so it's a pretty standard dub- I really enjoyed the performances, and managed to quickly get over the modern voice actors dubbing an old 70's show thing- mostly becasue Bandai's video quality was pretty high for the series on dvd. I'm guessing they'll use the same masters for this release. The cast were also used in assorted video games from the time, and in the Char's Counterattack movie [though not the Zeta Gundam series, which used similar sounding VA's for returning roles from Ocean's Blue Water Studios in Calgary] The series had both cut and uncut releases on vhs, and only uncut releases on DVD, so there is indeed an unedited dub. The only odd thing about the dubonly dvd's--- The first few dvd's use the original 70's opening/ending, but later ones use the toonami version due to strange Sunrise inner politics of the time [same ones taht kept the sub version off the dvd's back then]. Here's hoping Bandai can use those superretro songs for all episodes of the new release. The actual episodes were completely uncut though [as were the eyecatches  ]

If only we could get a redub of Zeta Gundam using the VAs from the original series dub. That Blue Water dub wasn't just bad on its own, but also inconsistent with 0079 and CCA.
I will be pretty miffed if they don't have "Fly! Gundam" and "Forever Amuro" on the new sets. |

I'm sure they liked that she was familiar with the part already, VAs rarely are. In fact when she appeared at Otakon as a surprise guest she was in Mio cosplay and did a little concert of K-ON songs). But it's not as if Cristina doesn't already voice act on a regular basis for other shows that have nothing to do with music (Blade of the Imortal? Tweeny Witches? The Familiar of Zero?).
Confirmed, it is Cassandra Lee Morris as Ritsu. Emerje Last edited by Emerje on Sat Oct 09, 2010 7:49 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Yup, Bandai won't have any problem synching the english dub to the footage, but yes, they wiill get rid of the Toonami OP. |

Ah, Zeta Gundam... To date, I can't think of a more fucked up Bandai release. Shitty Blue Water dub, dubtitles, replaced OP and ED music, and glitched Vol. 4 discs. I spent $200 on that POS set and around another $100 for the "fixed" double disc volumes. I really hate to say it, but sometimes I kinda just wish BEI would fold. When they're not unintentionally [expletive] up their releases, they're purposely gimping them or marketing their products at ridiculous prices. Their properties would be better off under someone else... |

I'm glad I'm not the only person who recalls how messed up the Zeta set was. I'm still a little irritated by it, since that's my favorite Gundam anime. But, I've bought stuff from Bandai since and haven't had such problems.
As long as they avoid dubtitles, the 0079 set should be fine. |

More Gundam?
This is amazing news as I pondered if Bandai Entertainment would ever re-release Mobile Suit Gundam. I still remember the Toonami run of it. But now, I can see the origins of the Gundam franchise in its entirety (minus one episode) and own it. Oh, I am also looking forward for the Gundam 00 movie's release as well. |

She even confirmed her alias name as well in Twitter. Someone in the Encyclopedia should make note of that. |
