NEWS: Glitter Force Trailer Previews English Dub

Yup, that's usually why edits are done. But Smile Precure lacks a lot of that! The only things from that list in it are it taking place in Japan, and death. And as for the death? It's handled in a way pretty similar to how cartoons here handle it. Like one character's father is dead, but he died before the series, and the only flashbacks we get of him are when he was alive. Precure isn't the only anime that's this way either. When it comes to anime it usually just comes down to the title. Some are more risque by our standards or heavy in cultural differences, while others aren't that different from the cartoons that air here. In general kodomo anime (things like Pokemon, Yo-Kai Watch) tends to carry over well, while shonens like One Piece usually require more editing for kid slots.

The violence level in Pretty Cure alone is probably problematic for American audiences. When action cartoons were still being made, I remember a lot of them used those white flashes to censor actual direct hits being made to people. Since this is Netflix the standards might be looser than what Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network were willing to show back then, but the fact these are little girls being brutally beat up and knocked around it might be more of a problem compared to male heroes since violence against females is seen as more taboo in western cultures. Joker and the overall theme of despair would also probably be toned down alot

And not to derail the thread, but heavily edited dubs are still being produced. Digimon Fusion is very heavily edited compared to Xros Wars, and Doraemon had a tons of edits as well. LBX was probably the most drastically altered since they cut out dozens of episodes and skipped certain storyline arcs. Pokemon's always had it's share of edits as well and Yokai Watch has had quite a lot of edits so far. Yu-Gi-Oh is of course still a product of the 4Kids era.

There's no sugarcoating it: the preview trailer of Glitter Force is terrible, straight-up. The voices sound too old and the Glitter names just come out sounding out-of-place. Yep, I'm staying away from this dub.

I'm so tired of Laura Bailey. I cannot stand hearing her voice anymore. She is in too many things.

Whoa, I didn't know she was that prolific. The only titles that I heard of Laura was Kekkaishi, Soul Eater, and the gaming side of Persona 4.

Also the recent race controversy with the new Uncharted game....

My interest in this show is honestly just curiosity at the moment. I mean what happened to those 8 episodes were they actually cut and if so why? I mean 1 or 2 episodes might be understandable based on what I've heard but 8 is a pretty large number.

Also, I haven't watched any precure except for clips of animation, which can be really beautiful. I may want to watch it but before I do so I have to ask what the ratio is of well-animated fight scenes to the characters just faffing about. It'd have to be pretty dense in the former for me to want to watch it.

Really interested in watching this but sadly I have no interest in netflix and wont sub just for this one show.

Where my concern lies is that Disney canceled Doraemon outright (I'm not sure about the reason behind that)

In that case, I'll watch Smile Precure instead of Glitter Force.

Good luck with that. Since there is no legal way to watch it you really have to go out of your way to find subs. I know when I looked once I couldn't find anything. Newer shows you can usually find but the older ones require some digging.
