DT Retro 001: Panda and the Magic Serpent

Author: dubtalkpodcast April 21, 2021 Duration: 1:09:41

The Dub Talk podcast takes a breaks from the simulcasts and digital animation for a dive way back in time, all the way to the beginning of anime English dubbing. Yes in this pilot episode of a new subseries, hosts Noah, Amon, Lac & Hardy take a look at the 1958 animated feature: Hakujaden (better known in English speaking markets as Panda & the Magic Serpent). Before Astro Boy or Speed Racer, this was one of the very first English dubs for Japanese animation ever made, and we're eager to find out how well this folktale has aged.

           

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.
