So anime has been bleeding over into the USA for since around the 60's. During the 80's so many shows were dubbed and renamed that companies are still trying to clean up the legal mess since so many fingers were in their pies.
One thing has only recently begun to truly change though: Dubs have MOSTLY gotten better, but bad ones will haunt us forever. Let's talk about the differences between good and bad. And then snarl a lot.
As a child of the 80's I was on the receiving end of a deluge of of marketing, one particular niche of this deluge being Japanese animation. This is a niche that haunted the very core of my being and shaped my appreciation of animation as an art form with it's style, stories and distinctive application of drama, action and comedy. Allow me to entertain you as I bloviate, babble, and rant regarding aspects of anime today and titles I would strongly recommend or prescribe caution towards.
