I just watched HeadMasters and Master force over the past week or so, Victory will be re-reviewed soon.

These are pretty good series and recommeneded, HeadMasters starts off with alot of familiar faces returning then takes an awkward type of turn, with alot of stock footage, but it is still pretty good in a simple kind of way.

Now, I wonder if MadMan has any plans for Beast Wars II & Neo? I would realy like to see those(hopefully translated) in full too.

whats the word on the Dubs for these two series? Will i be watching them in Jap. with the Subtitles on?

I am excited, i have downloaded some of the crappy .rm vids and it would be badass to see them in decent quality.

Best thing you can do with ANY of the Jap. G1 series... either watch them with subtitles or download a FAN DUB.

Do NOT Do NOT listen to the Stardub version. It will make baby Jesus cry.

I'm sorry but I just got use to it. I was raised with Koreans so EVERYTHING was always either in a crappy Godzilla like dub, or subtitles. I don't like wathcjing things in a language I can't understand, and subtitles means that getting up even for a minute can have you loose your place.

But I do agree with you a bit, when I finaly saw a translated version of Advent Children, I was happier not knowing what they where saying(before hand I only had a burned download with no subs).

Still, I don't see why nobody ever mentions the third option of flipping in a good CD as setting shows to music when subtitles are your best option. Maybe it's a good learning tool if you're looking to learn a new language, but otherwise why deal with that :???:

Now if all this still makes Baby Jesus cry, I'm sorry, but contrary to resent statments about me, I'm good with kids, so I'm sure I could settle the little tike down.

A lot a times hearing the original voices gives a lot more clues to whats going on; especially in a language like japanese where the form of speech and what isn't said often tells more than what is. Try watching the old dub of Akira(where leonardo from tmnt is Kaneda's voice) and then the new version where the dub is much more properly translated (matches the subtitles) the old one was so bad you didn't even know what was going on because they would just stop talking in the original and we just copied it. when they did a new dub, they had to add in the subtleties directly with added english sentences.

So i always get a subtitles, even when i don't know the language, because stardubs always lose almost all of the depth to the dialogue and thus the story in general.

Nope. NTSC is not as widespread as Americans think it is.
This should help explain it.

There sure is, it's called the Star Dub, and it ain't pretty.

Why not read this thread and then give purchasing the Madman set another thought? The US$ is still stronger than the AU$, so it will work out cheaper than you think.
