ORIGINALLY RECORDED: 5/8/2020

The 5 year anniversary of Dub Talk continues, this month as NoahClue gets to highlight one of his favorite Japanese anime. Being the cartoon guy you might expect something silly or funny or full of falling anvils. But nope, this month we're taking Dub Talk's first dive into the world of CLAMP with their robot girlfriend series: CHOBITS.

Bringing SpacemanHardy, Lilac & Andrew along for the adventure, the group heads back to the year of 2002, when technology was advancing fast but hadn't quite gotten to the dystopian future we currently live in. And in that era folks were asking all kinds of questions like: can you fall in love with a computer? Do robots have the capacity for emotions? And how in the world are we going to get ourselves a pair of underpants?! All that and more being the heart of this seemingly juvenile yet surprisingly mature Madhouse series.

So get out your old AV cables, dust off your CRT monitor and do the wakey wakey exercises with us as we analyze the English dub of Chobits! Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-dum-baa-baa-BA!

Ever find yourself wondering how a particular line was delivered in the studio, or which voice actor just absolutely nailed a challenging scene? Dub Talk digs into those details. This isn't just a checklist of what's new; it's a conversation about the craft and character behind the English adaptations of anime. We get into the performances that bring favorite roles to life, discussing the nuances that make a dub feel authentic or fall flat. You'll hear us break down episodes and films, talking about directorial choices, script adaptations, and the occasional brilliant or baffling casting decision. It's for anyone who appreciates the art of the dub, from seasoned fans to those just curious about what happens after the original recording booth. Tune in to the Dub Talk podcast for thoughtful, often lively reviews that go beyond the subtitles. We're here to talk about the voices you know, the ones you're about to discover, and the work that goes into making an imported story feel like it was spoken just for you.
