Which I would say is similar to watching something dubbed from Streamline where the main charactor's name is pronounced differently by every voice actor in the show because their direction sucks so bad they can't even homogenize pronunciation.
I will agree that this is somewhat annoying to an extent.  But it is a phenomenon that happens in real life.  I've had friends whose names started with an "A" and even among their friends there was always a mix of pronouncing it like the word "all" or the name "Al."

Yeah, that's true. Even better, it happens when we talk about destinations...my friends and I have no universally-agreed pronunciation for:
Costco
Caribbean
Worcestershire
Etc.

Objectively correct pronunciations:
/kawst*koh/
/Kerry*bean/
/wurst*er*sha*ear/

That's totally true. I fraternize with both fans of Ree-yu and Rye-yu. The difference between this and dubbed anime is that if everyone is Japanese exactly zero people in a group will say "Rye-yu" because native speakers all know that that would be Raiyu, a totally different word.

So I watched both Unico movies. The second one Island of Magic is actually a lot better than the first. The quality of animation in those 80s Tezuka projects is unparalleled.

Thanks for the recommendation Zeta!

It's Betamax.



I'm looking forward to get my hands on Robot Carnival, too.

They tried to make me do a recap
