I question your use of the word "dubtitles" here. Isn't it possible that the dub and sub scripts are very similar because the dub script is an alteration of the sub script and not the other way around, as the word "dubtitle" implies? I'm just wondering if you meant it that way or meant it differently and it didn't quite come through clearly. |

I think he means that the script was so close that it was hard to believe that they didn't simply rip the DUB SCRIPT and put it in the subs... which they didn't...
at least, that's the implication I got

Oh SNAP!
Anyway, I'm gonna go get this soon... just need to get some money in order... Wait a minute... I dunno a lot about JAPANESE CULTURE *or any culture*, but I'm under the impression that the RUGBY EPISODE is like a parody of... something... can someone elaborate on this? |

Sports anime/manga are fairly common in Japan, although they rarely are imported across the Pacific. (Perhaps because sports stories have long been a staple of American movies, so they wouldn't be as distinctive?) While I have seen very little for sports anime, it's my understanding that most of that episode (especially the part on TV in the beginning) is a parody of sports anime in general.
And I guess they chose rugby because it's one of the rougher sports out there, and that suited their purposes. Didn't think it was popular in Japan. |

Actually, episode 11 (the second half of the hot-springs episodes) featured not only Gundam SEED parodies, but also parodies from the original Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 series.
The "panties breaking up" vision Kazama saw was a tribute to SEED mode in Gundam SEED. However, his entire action scene was a tribute to Amuro Ray single-handedly taking down 12 Rick Doms near side 6. His line "I can see! I can see the enemy!" (Mieru!) was a classic line said by both Amuro and Char when their NewType abilities fully awakened, allowing them to predict the enemy's movements. This was followed by a "Newtype Flash" (the light *ring* and strike of lightning with visions of the hotspring bath). I just had to point that out, because I'm such a Gundam nut. Episodes 9 and 11 are the best episodes in the entire series. Actually rugby is one of those more commonly played sports in Japan - although not at the level of baseball, it has a decent following in the high school sports scene. |
