OG MSG and Zeta have both been re-released on Blu-Ray with their Canadian dubs. I don't think Sunrise is going to redo them anytime soon. If ever.

I just thought the writing wasn't very good in it's second season, a lot of poorly defined new characters like Rustal. McGillis' whole character arc was just rather disappointing and goes nowhere. spoiler[The killing of the main characters at the end while in a better show would be a tragic and nice touch, here it just feels empty.] |

It wasn't the "kill em all" approach. The writing was just messy during the second season. Rustal for instance, just his character is largely flat and Okada then makes this drastic change at the very end that makes little sense as his character is not written well. The ending really just doesn't work because everything up to it during the second season is just poorly written in my opinion. For instance McGillis' whole plan, "I get Bael and Tekkadan and I just win." He only half thought this out Even I figure someone who is built up as a smart Char Clone would have a better back up plan. Also the whole season jumps around a lot to plot threads constantly. The writing is just messy. Some of Orga's late season actions make little sense, why is anything with Jasley making him go join McGillis? Why is spoiler[Naze's and Lafter's Deaths] causing him to side with McGillis? Last edited by Codeanime93 on Mon Aug 14, 2017 2:45 am; edited 1 time in total |

The YT channel GundamInfo should more English dubbed Gundam series. If they can have various English subbed series, then there shouldn't be as much of rights issue for more English dubs.

After seeing that post on ANN I just had to make an account and voice my opinion on this .Its an absolute insult to the ones who dubbed it.Mu La Flaga,Durandal,Patrick Zala,Siegel Cline,and Specially Rau Le Creuset how in the hell would they even surpass the people who voiced those characters.This is really stupid for sunrise they should just invest on a new gundam series with the budget they're putting on this new dub cast or even just continue on GS Timeline.

This is only for the remastered version of Gundam Seed. |

With Gundam 00 I would only believe a redub were to be done if Right Stuf got the rights to the Special Edition and decided to dub though much like with ZZ Gundam I highly doubt it even if they did get the license.

I wonder if it would be a possibility that they push out a collector's edition that maybe has a DVD version of SEED with the old cast? Because I doubt they would release the old dub individually separate from this blu ray.
I am on the fence. Them bringing the Remaster over is great news, I really enjoy SEED and am glad to own it in HD, but the new dub is an unpleasant surprise. Is this a case of Japan (Sunrise) doing the dub themselves again? |

As much as I'm not a fan of DVD/Blu-ray combo packs, this show would actually be good for it considering the situation with both dubs (and also with both Japanese versions).
Obviously yeah or we would have seen it under a Kickstarter like Aria got. The funny thing is that when Right Stuf originally teased about crowdfunded dubs back in March, SEED was the first thing that came to my mind so it is a bit surprising to see that Sunrise would work on the redub themselves instead of approving another Kickstarter like they did for FUNi over Escaflowne. |

Haha yeah, I agree, I love hearing Erica Mendez (and Todd) in stuff and she usually plays the really likable characters while Flay is quite the you know what.
Yeah, I don't expect them to bother with the special edition recap movies for Gundam 00 so I don't think they'll need to create any new dubs for this one. I just expect them to finally bring out the series on blu-ray and re-release a new blu-ray for the main movie. |

If you read the article, the remastered gundam seed was re-cut into 48 episodes instead of the original 50, and there is some additional material. This means they have to dub lines for the new scenes and at least edit portions of altered scenes. So at the least if they were to keep the original dub, they would have to get back all of the original dub actors for the new work, or at least those involved in the additional/redone scenes. That may not be possible depending on their contract obligations etc. So Sunrise is opting to get all new dub actors and do everything from scratch. Like most companies, I doubt they are really flush with cash, so for them to spend the extra money to redub everything tells me it was too difficult or impossible to get the original dub actors back. |
