Ruined FOREVER (Darth Wiki)/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

----

* Fans of the original ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' light novels cried foul when the [[Anachronic Order]] of the books was different from that of the show; never mind that it was ''still'' out of order, the climax was ''still'' at the end and it ''still'' worked from a storytelling point of view. Then again, they were also in shock that [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|their beloved obscure light novel series was now a]] [[Cash Cow Franchise]] [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|loved by millions]].

* To expand on that, parts of the online fandom of any given anime tends to say that ''any'' anime that gets [[Subbing Versus Dubbing|dubbed into English]] (no matter how faithfully), is "ruined", despite the fact that no one's ever going to force them to actually ''listen'' to the English audio.

** Even though the Ghibli dubs are generally respected, there are some so-called "true fans" who insist on hating them simply because they're by Disney, and they object to any change to the dialogue, music, that may have been done to these films, stating that these movies have all been destroyed; an argument which is totally fatuous considering that Miyazaki and Ghibli were both involved with the creation of the dubs. If they don't think their works are ruined, who are such "fans" to say otherwise?

*** Speaking of that one: Disney let the younger siblings of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers voice-act Ponyo and Sousuke (respectively) in the English dub of ''[[Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea]]''? Cue building nerdrage via [[Periphery Hatedom]] by proxy.

** And on the flipside, with the anime industry scrambling to salvage itself and still turn a profit while still trying to license a diverse bunch of shows, several "niche" shows are being released sub-only. You know, the kinds of shows that put even a large studio like [[Geneon]] out of business because the dub cost so much the show didn't turn a profit. Anime is now ruined FOREVER because the industry is "[[Flipping the Bird|discriminating]]" against dub fans. Strangely, nobody thinks the industry is ruined FOREVER because of the ongoing recession.

* It doesn't matter how many years have passed, several fans of ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' feel the series lost it with the switch to ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' and the more sci-fi and less comedic emphasis, even though in the latter's case the humor was already being toned down a little by the time Piccolo first showed up.
