Hello guys!
Ugh, saving up is so hard… But I made it. I made it. I saved up 500 SEK to buy myself some books with, ^W^ So I finally ordered Cyborg 009. I have the first two books, but it’s out of print, so it’s not in stock anywhere I live… (Cute Joe is Cute) And, I found out that it was actually released in Sweden during the 80’s with Swedish dub. Sweden, like a few european contries during the 80’s-early 90’s, imported a decent amount of anime from Japan. And while Sweden does decent dubbing on high-budget Disney films and so…
Well, they didn’t give anime much quality. The best anime dub I know is Digimon, and that was imported from 4kids. Most Swedish anime is dubbed with unfitting voices and has a cast of 3-7 voice-actors. The result, if you like bad movies, usually turn out hilarious. I try and buy them if I can find them, for the FAIL=WIN factor.
Take the Terra E dub, for instance. There was one man dubbing Jomy, Toni and Soldier Blue(They never translated his name. It sounded really wierd.), and he made them all sound like old men. They messed up translating several lines, ending in conversations that were impossible to follow and qoutes like
“We will fight them.. And after that, we will make freinds!”
Everybody were laughing their asses off. Even the grown-ups and a girl who hated comedy.
…Back to the 009 dub.
Turns out, it’s avadible on youtube. It’s fantastic, really. There is one person, ONE SINGLE PERSON doing an entiere fifty episode series. Sure, he was a decent voice actor, but, man. He did the girls, the children, it all sounded really stupid and wierd. His grammar was very lulzworthy, too. I mean, in a “People die if they are killed…” sense.
Link(It’s in Swedish, gomen…):
I simply must have this dub. I’m pretty sure this isn’t fansubbed, either… 
Oh, and for those of you who don’t speak Swedish, here’s an extra. I went on a Rock drawing spree in class today:
