I'm watching Goldorak (Grendizer in French) because I bought the DVD box earlier today, I'm watching episode 1 and what's Alcor's problem?
>>12472057
Jealous
>>12472057
He doesn't have a Mazinger, and they call him Alcor
>>12472146
I read the booklet and Alcor seems to get a Mazinger of his own later in the series but I'm only at episode 2.
>>12472177
He doesn't. The only time he ever gets to pilot a Mazinger in the anime is the Great crossover movie, and even then he pilots Great instead of Z.
>>12472190
then what's the "Alcorak"?
>>12472196
A spaceship that's superior to his dinky little Oveterre.
>>12472196
Grendorak's jetpack.
>>12472190
>he pilots Great instead of Z.
Holy crap really?
Did Americans ever get a dub for Grendizer?
>>12472293
Yup, but like all Force Five dubs, it didn't go very far into the show.
>>12472215
It only happens briefly near the end.
Actually, the reason I like that crossover movie so much is because it's one of the few vs movies where the title robots actually DO duke each other out.
I never much liked Grendizer's design. Even for the 70s his head sticking out of a saucer was a touch silly

>paying money to watch a bastardized dub
I will never understand stockholm syndrome dubfags
>>12472334
The French dub is fine though.
>>12472057
Grendizer is the true name, anon.
>>12472401
I completely mistyped that. The true name in French is Goldorak but the Japanese title is Grendizer
>>12472311
I hate the saucer form but I do love Grendizer itself
>>12472401
???
he said he's watching goldorak which is grendizer but in french
not saying that grendizer is french and goldorak is the real name
>>12472334
>>12472364
They changed the names, maybe, but Grendizer's french dub is pretty solid.
>>12472539
And It even gave us a dub of the Dracosaurus and VS Great movie because Grendizer was in.
And Ryouma was only called Ryu in this one, funnily enough, but every voice was matching. Even Tetsuya sounded like an asshole.
The dub was pretty good.
>>12472539
>>12472557
Which makes it all the more miraculous, when you consider that most French dubs are not very good.
>>12472568
>No Shin Grendizer with a french dub using the old voices
>No Shin Mazinger french dub using Kouji's voice from Grendizer
>>12472057
He's coping with his repressed homosexuality. He gets better after admiting his gay crush on Duke
>>12472568
Albator 78 (Orignial Captain Harlock series) was good too, it's just the name change
>>12472568
most being which ones exactly? Only one I can think of that wasn't really fuckin good is Fist of the North Star because they basically made it a comedy
>>12472640
which is funny because I like the Opening but I never watched the series in French of Hokuto No Ken. I had seen about 30 episodes in Japanese with english subs.
>>12472640
I couldn't say, since that's what I've heard. Then again, I've already been burned badly by their dubs for Western cartoons.
The singer of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-NV7FG3974 sounds like the same guy as this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2yV7T_1YkA
>>12472682
Yeah, the story goes that the distributor had no idea HnK was so violent so they dubbed it into a comedy. The OP is solid tho.
>>12472568
Yet we have good dubs lately and some really good, like Gurren Lagann's french dub.
>>12472640
He's talking about 80's-90's AB dubs.
Which kind of pisses me off, since we have gone a long way ahead from these dubs yet every frenchfag refers to the shittiest ones only, dismissing every good effort done since then.
>>12472856
How is it even possible to make HnK a comedy?
>>12472883
Yes it is
>>12472876
Well, that's a relief.
>>12472882
To be fair, it doesn't help that an anon on here said that the one for Bioman sucked.
On a different note, is the one forMinky Momoany good? I'd like an option to fall back on, in case the Harmony Gold dub streams don't get ripped.
>>12472057
>what's Alcor's problem
He's trying to be Char, Kycilla and Harry Ord all at once but lacks the commitment to commit to one or the other. So he's left with three one thirds of a personality but can't even manage to haphazardly cobble them together.
>>12472883
Sandwiiiiich
>>12472883
all the scenes where they freeze frame and shout off the technique names became kitchenware jokes because Hokuto sounds like Knife in french for one
>>12472213
Must suck being Duke's jetpack bitch.
