INTEREST: Funimation Announces Panty & Stocking English Dub Cast

And yet it was promptly removed in the middle of the series, with no notice, and seemingly no attempt to buy anymore seasons.

I don't think it was removed because its content was too offensive. [as] may not be interested in P&S but I doubt it is because it is too offensive for them. Maybe I need to revisit P&S but all I remember was a lot of gross out humor.

Shin-chan's dub is far worse than anything Panty and Stocking has to offer. The worst joke in PSG involves either semen or poop. Shin-chan's dub regularly jokes about child abuse, abortions, miscarriages, and domestic violence. In addition to semen and poop. If they can air that, PSG wouldn't even make them bat an eye.

It's a difference of perspective. Is the cartoon fandom as big as the anime fandom? Probably not, so there's not much people to complain. Plus, I don't think they would sit around caring about the artistic and emotional complexities of the voice work in Fairly Odd Parents or Cow and Chicken. Reusing the same voices isn't really as immersion breaking in a kid's comedy cartoon as it is in a bigger medium like anime. Especially one where debates about Japanese voice-actors VS English-voice actors is already a common occurrence.

There's a substantial difference between just saying some of those things and more explictly showing them. You think they can show the episode with the sperm? How about the episode with the monster with giant tits spraying everywhwere? They've never shown uncensored breasts on Adult Swim ever. I don't vethink can even get away with the crap flying everywhere in the first episode because of the poop monsters. The amount of crap monkies have thrown on Robot Chicken does not compare to that at all. They could probably do the vomit monster. But PSG pushes sex and showing bodily liquids further than any show on Adult Swim. I'm not saying they shouldn't play it. I'm pretty sure Comedy Central could run it but there really nothing that has aired on Adult Swim that makes me believe they have the stones to air PSG.

What about more dramatic animated series made in America? Kevin Michael Richardson is a great actor in my opinion but he does basically the same voice for Panthro on ThunderCats, two minor characters on The Legend of Korra and both John Stewart the Green Lantern and Mal Duncan on the latest episode of Young Justice among many other roles over recent years. John DiMaggio likewise voices numerous characters and often with a similar voice. Or how about Yuri Lowenthal? Sounds pretty much the same as Ben Tennyson on 2 series of Ben 10, two characters on Young Justice and well before those he was Sasuke on Naruto, Suzaku on Code Geass and Haru on Rave Master and they're all just his usual voice.

Usually I don't mind when an actor is used a lot because they're doing this for their income and the more work they get the easier it is to make that living. But even though I say that I do like to hear a greater variety of actors/actresses in cartoons. Really the important things is finding the right voice for the job and often enough that's someone who already gets a lot of work compared to other actors. They get a lot of work because they're good. This is true in America and Japan isn't it?

There are people who complain about overusing actors in American cartoons both dramatic and comedic but you see a lot less of that compared to anime because American productions while often using the same actors branch out arguably more than any one dub studio does and also because no other kind of cartoon fandom no matter how large it is whines as much or as loud as Japanese cartoon fandom. That's the impression I get at any rate.

So that's a big fat no on having an actual counter to what I've said. I'm more or less indifferent to the casting and have no opinion of the dub because I haven't heard. My first post accurately reflects that but you're just going to keep getting pissy and slanging insults because since you can't disagree with what I said you might as well attack the person...I wonder when the forum rules will kick in regards to your flaming posts.

I think posting something obviously over the top negative, even with an outdated meme attached, and then back peddling the second someone called you out for unwarranted negativity by saying you weren't being negative makes you look like a tool. That's what I got from it anyways.

Typical casting is typical.
I expect many people will enjoy yet another Funimation level dub.

Did I imply anyone shouldn't enjoy how Funi cast the show or the dub? I outright said many people will like it.

Now please lower you defensive shields.

I'm fairly sure I've seen sperm on Family Guy or one of their other shows at one point. Just put some mosaic censoring over any boobies they deem bad and it's easy enough to air. Wouldn't be the first time they censored anime.

So like I said; I think more people would complain about voice work in One Piece than they would Thundercats or Justice League or what have you. It's a more prominent series to the anime community than those shows are.

The only sperm joke I ever remember on Family Guy, was a one-off line where Stewie was observing a room with a blacklight, and remarked about their being a small splotch of semen on a hotel bed cover, they haven't hand an entire plot revolve around it, though.

Let's break it down.
An outdated meme calling the casting typical is not negative. It's the damn truth, sorry if it hurt you feelings.
Saying that there will be people who like this dub isn't being over the top negative either. Again it's the truth.

I was being indifferent. The poster's who have been replying to me have just been overracting because I'm not getting down on my knees to pray to the Funi dub gods in everyone of their casting announcements. I suggest you and Blood learn wtf being negative and backpeddling means.

There have been many references to sperm and many jokes about it in Family Guy. There was also the episode where Peter accidentally spills all the "deposits" at the sperm bank and has to refill them all. Prior to that, there was also the episode where Stewie shrinks down and travels inside Peter to kill all his sperm and keep him from reproducing. And of course, there is the really controversial episode where Peter stores horse semen in bottles in the fridge and it's implied that Stewie drank it.

Shall I go on?

Probably asking for a lot, but I hope they get Peter Cullen and Frank Welker for episode 7's Transformers parody. The Japanese dub got the original voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron back for that episode, it would be nice if the English dub did the same.

Adult Swim or bust! *cue generic "AS hates animu!!!" response*

Panty & Stocking deserves to be on the all new Saturday Lineup on [adult swim] anyway if not second chance Funimation Channel OnDemand

Yup, even The Simpsons showed a depiction of sperm in at least one episode. Then you've got Family Guy and American Dad which certainly have never been shy about such a topic whether it's a visual gag, something heavily implied or incredibly obvious double entendre's.

They're putting out content that's a lot better on the ears than Bang Zoom is doing recently, with their no-talent newb actors in Madoka and Squid Girl.

Your constant passive-aggressive comments across the forums gives people good reason to read between the lines with your posts.

Not to mention, if you didn't care and had no opinion as you claim, then why did you even bother posting that to begin with?

Regardless, get back to the topic at hand and let's leave the discussion of decrypting Arsenic's true meanings and intents to another day.
