Dubtitle: Difference between revisions

{{examples|Examples:}}

* The uncut ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Shaman King]]'' releases were notorious for this. ''Shaman King'' was a partial dubtitle, using the dub script with Japanese names inserted.

** ''[[Akira (Manga)|Akira]]''

* The ''[[Ghost Sweeper Mikami (Anime)|Ghost Sweeper Mikami]]'' movie used an early version dub script.

* So did ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Anime)|Zeta Gundam]]''.

* ''[[Blood Plus+|Blood+]]'' for the first half. Supposedly this is fixed for the second half.

* ''[[Airmaster (Manga)|Airmaster]]'': The first two disks also had the version where transcriptions of sound effects were included.

* ''[[Wrath Of The Ninja]]'' (but the later [[Yotoden]] release, which had separate [[OAV|OAVs]]s as well as the movie, is okay).

* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' TV series (''[[Tenchi Universe]]''), though the amount of pure dubtitling varied from episode to episode. The [[OV AsOVAs]] also suffered from this practice in some of the earlier laser disc releases, but it was not consistent.

* The [[Mamoru Oshii]] film ''[[Avalon (film)]]''

** ''[[Battle Inin Outer Space]]'', also a Toho special effects movie from Sony (though not featuring Godzilla). Oddly, this is released with two other genre movies which are not dubtitled.

* ''[[The City of Lost Children]]''. Notable in that a couple lines are even [[Mondegreen|Mondegreens]]s of the English dub by the subtitling company. The French subtitles-- ysubtitles—y'know, the original language?-- were ''back-translated from the English dub''.

* ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' didn't always pay attention to how the dubtitling could affect the Japanese track, leading to some [[Narm|Narms]]s when the script and the Japanese audio ''really'' didn't match. Notably, a scene in which Welkin, in the Japanese audio says only "Faldio," the English script underneath reads "I don't know what to tell you, Faldio."

* In the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series, the characters of M. Bison, Balrog, and Vega had their names switched for the overseas versions of the games. This became a bit too obvious in ''[[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]'', which gives players an option between a Japanese or an English voice track. The subtitles are based on the English dub, which means that they use the overseas names of the characters, even if the voice acting is set to Japanese (i.e. the subtitles will display "Lord Bison" when a character is actually saying "Vega-sama").
