Mike Toole swings by to help determine why anime is more popular in Canada than it is in other regions like the United States. I don't think we find a definitive answer, but along the way we talk about Otakon, the 80s Astro Boy dub that aired on Global, World Masterpiece Theatre on Radio-Canada, and that elusive Dragon Ball Kai Ocean dub.

I love that Astro Boy dub on global. I didn't even know there was another dub for the US. I was going to buy those dvds that came out in the early 2000s. That's when i learned they had a different dub. I was annoyed that i couldn't get a dvd with our dub. In fact aside for one or two episodes i found on youtube, it was nowhere to be found.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a shame to loose that dub to history. I have fond memories watching it when i came home for lunch from school in the 80s. I really want to get a hold of the series with the Canadian dub.
