Line 10:
Perhaps their [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Awesome]] was when they brought in [[Conan O'Brien]] from ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' to do some [[Gag Dub]]s.
Recently{{when}}, Eric P. Sherman, the CEO of Bang Zoom! Entertainment, has sparked an [[Internet Backdraft]] by stating that Bang Zoom! Entertainment would stop dubbing anime by 2011 if fans keep watching and downloading [[Fan Sub|fansubs]] instead of obtaining and watching anime by legal means. He blamed the fans completely for this due to the downloading of fansubs and even outright said "'''Anime is going to die.'''" Needless to say, this did not sit well with the fans, and Bang Zoom! Entertainment along with Bandai Entertainment fanned the flames of ''two'' existing [[Internet Backdraft]]s: [[Subbing Versus Dubbing]] and Fansubbing. Luckily, Bandai Entertainment eased the backdraft (a little bit) by [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//industry-comments/bandai-entertainment-anncast issuing a statement] saying that most of Sherman's comments are not related to the status of Bandai Entertainment. However, they agreed with Sherman's sentiment that if current trends continue they may stop dubbing anime (although noting that they hope this doesn't occur). Needless to say, a lot of dub fans got pissed off at Bandai Entertainment and Bang Zoom Entertainment ever since, '''[[Hatedom|BIG TIME]]'''.
However, with the downfall of [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//news/2012-01-02/bandai-entertainment-to-stop-releasing-new-dvds-bds-manga Bandai Entertainment], Bang Zoom! last biggest client, [[Harsher in Hindsight|it's pretty much bad news for the studio and mostly the end of anime dubbing in LA as we know it]].<ref>[[Media Blasters]] and Aniplex USA are also two of Bang Zoom! clients on anime dubbing, but not as big when compared to Bandai. However, [[Sentai Filmworks]] has lately been involved with them as a "second dub studio", mostly to reunite cast members from their original California english dubs.</ref>
