Is Ash actually skipping the regional bird for once?

I wouldn't normally respond to the dubfags, but TPCi really fucked up big time here with the XYZ English dub today...I'll just show you guys pic related and link what Bulbapedo discovered:

"My point is, they had to re-draw a huge amount of scenes. Namely, every scene with Ash or his Pokémon in it for the first 12 minutes of the episode. I think this is the biggest visual change done for the English versions there has ever been in any Pokémon media."

Let me emphasize that "I think this is the biggest visual change done for the English versions there has ever been in any Pokémon media" and it was done by TPCi, not 4Kids, the ones known to do more visual edits normally.

>>30042653
What'd they change?

>>30042289
Ash not catching a bug pokemon would be a mistake. He loves bugs.

So who of you applied to become a janitor, be honest

>>30042653
What happened?

>>30042671
All of the Ash crucifixion type scenes and they censored his screaming, too...12 minutes worth of changes...TPCi did this...4Kids didn't...no, this is not April Fools Day, I can assure you I'm not kidding.

>>30042710
That sounds bad if true.

>>30042653
was that TPCi's decision or CN forced them to do that? i heard CN in other territories wants to keep their contents child friendly at all costs

...I'm at a loss for words...first TPCi manage to replace more of the Japanese OST than 4Kids ever did throughout the XY Arc and now they manage to one up them in terms of censorship, which was the only real issue with the previous dub for the most part with only a few exceptions, too.

JUST...

>>30042710
Wow...the jews censoring our pokemon hero and savior... really makes you go hmmmm....

>>30042752
I don't think we'll find out 100% until the episode is re-aired on Disney XD, but I think it's a TPCi mandated change ala Lenora's Apron change back in BW's dub, though that was excusable since it was minor, but this...

Will they edit the kissu now too?

>>30042795
Looks like Ash is orgasming or something.

>>30042808
They don't even show it in the original version.

>>30042846
Yeah, I don't think the dub will touch that since it's off screen anyway, but I'm appalled at TPCi lately. Remember back when they took the rights back from 4Kids how they promised they'd keep all the Japanese OST intact, no visual edits, faithful scripts, sound-alike VAs...all lies and they broke their promises.

>>30042301
>>30042326
>>30042351
>>30042679
So this feeds into the "Ash catches le weak bug type" pattern, but it BTFOs "Ash never catches the Electric-type because Pikachu!" pattern

Thoughts?

>>30042808
I'll be hyped if Ash gets rail gun bug

>>30042795
He looks sleepy. Nothing weird with that.

>>30042808
The TPCi co-director said they're making that scene a bit more "appropriate" for the US audience (whatever that means) on their blog

>>30042895
Vikavolt doesn't look weak though. He is supposed to be fast so he could be a perfect Ashmon if they do justice to him.

I mean I know it's general knowledge not to sit too close to the TV when watching something because headaches and eye damage and all that shit, but I have a feeling they added this after the Porygon incident

>>30042926
Please tell me you're just trolling us...please.

How can they possibly censor an off screen kiss?

>>30042942
They did.

I think it became standard on other anime after Porygon too, but I might be remembering wrong.

>>30042808
They gave us an eyeful of full-screen Korrina's puffy vulva, and you think they're gonna censor an off-screen kiss?

>>30042653
This is bait right?

You know they HAVE to censor anything remotely religious right?

You're not really this retarded right?

>>30042986
>>30042966
You know, if there was things that convinced me to abandon the TPCi dub permanently, this has to be the final straw. I don't even care that they left the Japanese OST intact for the first 2 SM episodes because it's pretty obvious they'll replace it again for the Series proper and considering all the bad acting and dialogue along with the potential for more edits like this...fuck.

They don't have to censor anything religious, Anon, they choose to do that themselves because they want to be culturally neutral or whatever.

They literally forced the animation department half a world away to take the episode and reanimate it to fit their ""standards"". Twelve full minutes.

No you retard, that is nowhere near the level of something invoking JESUS CHRIST. If you spent a goddamn nanosecond out of your mom's basement, you would know this.

You don't invoke Jesus, or any other real life religious figure in a kids show on western period. You don't even hint at that shit. You WILL get reamed in in by angry parents.

Were you not around at the height of Pokemania when preachers were desperately trying to connect Pokemon to Satan and shit? And you want to give them actual ammo?

That edit is wierd. Ash has had the snot beaten out of him before (the Full Syncro rebounds spring to mind) and nothing got cut...

>>30043310
It may also be because TPCi believes that they don't want to see Ash (read: the protagonist) in excruciating pain.

Sega has a similar policy with not wanting Sonic to ever cry.

Not really. Even the instance of "keeping the religious references" you posted was very early into the OS season and way before TPC discovered success and began franchising Pokemon and going into deeper, more intricate details about what it should and should not include in its animated mediums. A real-world mongoose appeared in that very same episode.

The animations pretty nice now.

This is loser thinking. Religious nuts are always going to satisfy their demonisation fetish no matter what you show them. Besides, as much as the fucking Christians want to think otherwise, crucifixions aren't exclusively for their own use.

They're actually not going to butcher the OST for SM just yet and left it alone, though I expect it'll be a repeat of either BW or XY's dub where they either go back and reshit the two episodes up with xylophones and accordion elevator UFO tune style dub music, or keep the OST intact for the first 5 episodes before replacing more & more of it as time passes.

Still can't save TPCi's horrible voice acting & lousy dialogue changes, regardless, dub is bad either way.

>>30043983

She is afraid of pokemon because her mother forced her to "merge" with Nihilego.

>>30044201
Yes, TPCi's dub is just getting worse & worse with time: even the Movies aren't safe from them anymore, whereas they were with 4Kids later on.

We can only hope Goldfarb isn't still on board for the main SM series and the first 2 episodes keeping the OST aren't just a sneak peek only phenomenon like it was with XY, though I have a strong feeling it will be...regardless, the dub's acting & dialogue are bad either way, but the crappy elevator stuff does nothing to alleviate the issues.

Ash sounds even more effeminate than usual...o_O...and high pitched. I mean, it's still better than the gravelly chain-smoking woman voice Natochenny did this week, but neither of them sounds like a boy.

Oh, and Team Rocket's voices and dialogue are still bad in the dub: "delish," really?

That elevator score with my hero Ed Goldfarb is just exactly what I imagined, too.

Honestly, TPCi's dub is an Abridged Parody at this point, but thanks for the video, man, still appreciate it.

In other news, Ash Greninja is really freakin good in the games. It's easy to nab a kill if you aren't retarded and it can catch a couple of bodies before it goes.

If the position of a guy's hands when he's restrained pisses you off because it somewhat resembles some other dude who did it (which is totally okay for him to show it in public, by the way, so nice double standard there), alongside the fact that people get their asses kicked while captured, then you really need to reevaluate the priorities in your life.

>>30044361
>TPCi's dub is an Abridged Parody at this poin

That's exactly what I thought when I heard Rolly (Racel in Japanese) speak for the first time.

>To the people complaining about the dub changes, as someone who has never seen the original Japanese, I found absolutely nothing wrong with the scenes in question.

Literal quote from some guy in the Serebii thread about the episode.

For Specialbros, plot details are out for Mizuki's adventure.

TPCi also changed Lenora's design in BW anime. Apron was gone, if I remember right.
Also pretty big change.

>>30044491
That wasn't TCPi. That was Japan, which then gave TCPi the edit instead of the original.

>>30044491
That was done by the Japanese. A change that big could not have been done by a dub edit. The scenes were redrawn by OLM for western audiences.

>>30044512
He can still appear later though.

Hmm... The episode don't seem as exciting on the second watch with subs on. It's just an exposition-fest with Ash being some super special chosen one for no good reason again.

>>30044506
>>30044514
TPCi still mandated TPC Japan's animators to do that Lenora design edits, though, it's not edited out in the Japanese Version itself, so it is partially their responsibility.

It's got nothing on what they did to Ash in XYZ here, though, this actually affects the character in a way, and THAT is a kind of edit that is truly harmful.

>>30044533
Wow anon, it's almost like you're watching every Pokemon series ever.

>>30044533
So it's finally sinking in that "it was underwhelming" wasn't damage control, as shitposters kept spamming, eh?

>>30044554
Lenora's character was edited across all mediums of the Pokemon franchise, not just the anime. This included redos of her BW1 artwork.

>>30044554
Doing away with the apron is an understandable edit. Obviously in Japan there aren't many black women and they weren't aware it could be viewed as a racist stereotype overseas.

>>30044533
Its literally the first two episodes. Of course there's going to be a lot of exposition.

We won't be able to accurately judge Sun/Moon until about 25 episodes or so. Then we'll have an idea where the season is going.

Woah, they actually made a pretty big censor in the dub.

Are they gonna censor Citroid's death?

Are they gonna censor kissu???

>>30044586
I agree, but just saying this is the case.

>>30044571
I'm aware, but just pointing this out.

>>30044533
>It's just an exposition-fest with Ash being some super special chosen one for no good reason again
You don't say. I actually enjoyed the episode more since I could understand what they said.

>>30044564
>>30044565
>>30044610

I'm far from giving any verdict. I just felt like it was a bit more comfy on the first watchthrough without subs.

>>30044617
>tfw 4Kids would have made them animate the kissu from an angle we could actually see it

>>30044617
Come to think of it, what are Disney XD's standards on violence and such? I know DBZ Kai had to get a bunch of content edits just to air on nicktoons. Like they couldn't show direct hits IIRC

>>30043353
>>30043385

>>30044617
If this was made on CN's insistance then nah. Otherwise, panic.

>>30044617
Possible on the latter considering Cathcart rewrote a dub line where Ash says "Lapras is going downhill fast" instead of "If we leave Lapras here, it'll die" in the last episode of Season 17's dub.

I doubt it in the second case, though, it's off screen so the kiss isn't visible.

Yokai Watch and Doraemon didn't have much cut iirc.

"Yeah, there's no heart in the dub anymore. The dialogue is stale and uninteresting. The only characters who get halfway creative lines is Team Rocket, and everything they say sounds ridiculous anymore. They seem to rarely even use any of the old voice talent from the 4Kids days aside from Carter Cathcart, Kayzie Rogers, and Ted Lewis. The new dude who composes the dub music is subpar, and John Loeffler hasn't composed a good theme for the series since 4Kids lost the show. Nothing about the dub is BAD, per se, but it's just...subpar.

Okay, there is one bad thing: Team Rocket. Every line of dialogue they have is terrible. And for the love of goodness, they brought back Professor Oak's voice actor, but keep using Jimmy Zoppi's horrible imitation? Gah."

It's Mike Pollock, though he doesn't save that dub as a whole by any means. He was also the interim narrator from AG020-AG145 before 4Kids got canned, fun fact.

The dub edit is actually a good thing.

You don't want these kids learning about Christianity and then becoming terrorists, do you?

What i've seen so far. I don't really like S&M. I loved XY Ash and I am glad Ash didn't reset but how the hell did he become so childish again? Love the new OP though

>>30045634
I think they'll tone down SM Ash as the saga progresses. These episodes were in production months ago before they were aware of the backlash of the new design or art style.

Who is the subber for S&M. It can't be Sushi because she's slow right?

>>30045657
Adamant.

>>30045634
It's his first time in who knows how long that he's able to let his hair down and do something other than try to win become a regional champion. I'm good with him being a bit goofy and having fun.

I'll keep watching though, and I don't mind his childish attitude, remember when XY started and he ran Kalos like a little kid. I hope they do change his art though, it just looks really ugly and makes him look 7. Lillie is really cute though gotta admit

So they won't catch anything this season, Bewear also looks like he will be a recurrent wild pokemon.
