no but 4kids can go and change their lines, names and make skirts longer but what really angers me about them is that in this one anime they dubbed they made a canonly bisexual character straight. than i ate seven toasters.
A lot of the bigger dubbing companies do stuff like that. It's really infuriating that they think everything needs to be watered down for Americans. This is the main reason, I think, so many people are anti-dub. I'm not one of those people (I have dubs I love) but I do tend to watch the subbed version first, and the dub after.
SOME things I can understand. Like Japan is 99.99% Japanese people, and they can be really insensitive and downright racist towards anime characters who aren't white or east Asian. I get changing that in dubs. I don't get changing characters sexualities. It's pretty offensive, in my opinion, that they don't think American anime viewers can handle a character who isn't their own sexuality.
AS A SIDE NOTE
I forgot to share the wallet I won from a crane machine while in Japan last month. TIGER AND BUNNY WALLET. It's actually really good quality. I hope I never have to stop using it lol It is like my favorite possession ever XD My best friend got the Barnaby Brooks Jr one.


Sorry the quality is horrible. I just took quick snapshots from my camera phone. I know no one here has watched T & B but... it's anime related so I wanted to share anyway
