Manga Video responds about Cagliostro
Aug. 24th, 2006 09:42 amSomeone got a response back from Manga Video about the opening titles of Castle of Cagliostro being messed up.
And that being the case, getting them to "fix" it is unlikely in the extreme.
Grumble.
Some folks on rec.arts.anime.misc have made noises about wanting to master a new burnable version of the DVD for themselves, using the Japanese audio, video, and English language (Macek) dub from the Japanese version, adding the English language (Manga) dub and subtitles from the American version, and my commentary track too. (I must admit I'm flattered.) I doubt it will happen (though there's nothing really preventing it; they'd just need to use the proper DVD editing software and have copies of both discs), but it's a nice pipe dream.
( "Don't blame us; it was like that when the production company sent it to us." )So it's apparently another one of those cases of the original anime creator not giving a damn how their product looks outside of Japan, since they didn't make it with those damn gaijin in mind to begin with. No, far more important than maintaining the integrity of the original work is making sure that all the names are on it right at the beginning!
