DT Classics 032: Excel Saga

DT Classics 032: Excel Saga

Author: dubtalkpodcast October 5, 2024 Duration: 2:39:37

Originally recorded: September 6, 2024

On a special Patreon request episode of this silly podcast, recruits Noah, Andrew & Jet are pulled into the realm of early 2000s wackiness for the most random nonsense series directed by a guy with an afro. And we mean wacky, the kind where characters constantly die & get brought back by a sentient circle of stars, robot girls become office workers to keep the peace, and freedom fighting dogs try to save the one canine being hunted for food. Now how in the heck did they make an English dub for this? That is one of many questions we will not answer in EXCEL SAGA!

Our theme music is composed by Gabriel Pulcinelli / Ponpoko in the Distance. You can find more of their work at https://ponpokointhedistance.com/ and at @gabrpulcinelli on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook.

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.
