Dubbing Anime
Anime is an animation in Japan and considered to be "Japanese animation" in the rest of the world. It deals with a whole lot of subject matters and a lot of it reaches is America. But some English adaptations of anime come to the American Audience as different then their original form. There are a lot of different reasons for that. They include tuning down violence in a show sot that kids could watch it because in America in sometimes perceived as only kid’s watch. Social structures that are more accepted in Japan. Bad dubbing can ruin a good TV show. The most dramatic example of that was the dubbing of Card Captor Sakura. The people at Nelvana edited all the materials that they deemed unsuitable for children. They took out all the romance relationships from the show, took out anything that looks like they Japan out changed the characters personalities and aired their episodes in a different order then they were intended to . Since we were talking how some of the shows are cut and not aired those were some reasons why

Like I was saying in class
Sailor Moon was also dubbed horribly. There changed her age so that the relationship between her and her boyfriend wouldn't be considered statutory rape. They also took out the trangender character and the lesbian couple.
As well as watered down the entire sexual context.
It’s funny that instead of well I don’t know useing their own imagination to make shows they steal other ones only to change it internally.
I do not believe that anime should be edited so harshly. If kids in Japan can watch it why can’t the kids in America have the same viewing pleasure.
