Funimation's Justin Cook discusses Hetalia dub
The most recent episode of ANNcast (Anime News Network's podcast) features an interview with Justin Cook, the guy in charge of just about everything dub-related at Funimation, during which he is grilled about the changes made to the Hetlia dub.
Right here, Hetalia discussion starts shortly after the 37 minute mark and discussion over similarly altered dubs (like Shin-Chan and Sergeant Frog) starts at around 31 minutes.
Basically, Zac, who likes Hetalia subbed but dislikes the dub, has a conversation about the changes made to the dub script with the guy in charge of Funimation's dubs, Justin Cook. Zac believes that some of the changes were offensive and completely not justified (in particular, the insertion of at least one Holocaust joke), while Justin thinks that the humor was pretty offensive in the first place and their changes weren't al that major.
Sorry if I'm doing anything wrong here, this is my first time EVER using LJ, so just tell me if something needs to be changed. ^_^;; And hey, I know a lot of people are going to be upset over this, but let's keep our discussion civil here, okay?
