Dub Talk 069: Touken Ranbu Hanamaru

Dub Talk 069: Touken Ranbu Hanamaru

Author: dubtalkpodcast May 10, 2017 Duration: 1:44:16

ORIGINALLY RECORDED: APRIL 11, 2017

For your in-flight entertainment today on Flying Shota Airlines, Megan leads Gigi, Roots, and Amon through Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru, a world of time-traveling anthropomorphic Sword Boys. While they may be human versions of famous swords from Japan's feudal age and are technically fighting a war that spans centuries... they mostly just goof off and get up to funny nonsense, while looking so very, very pretty. It's a fun time.

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.
