You call me a "noob", but you don't realize "Americanized" means more than "translated". "Americanized" alsomeans that the show is cut and edited to meet FCC regulations, and many things are changed or removed altogether because they may not make sense to a Western viewer.
A "dub" is a show that has had voice actors re-record the voices in English (or whatever other language).
Thanks.
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=AmericanizedThat is the offical word but, I know where not talking Dictionary terms or anything. "Americanized" dosent mean anything to the anime world. I understand what your saying with the FCC regulations and the cutting of senes all togther but, the proper term is "Dub". Dub could mean anything from voice overs to censoring to editing. Most anime I watch isnt really "dub" anyways to begin with. Most of the FMA season they showed on ]adultswim] was very little edited. FCC reguires that you remove most to all vulgar langue, nudity, and religous factors. In the season I belive he says bitch and basterd around 20 times and at the very beginning of the show he is talking about creation with alchemy and crossing into "Gods country". The main thing they edited was at the end when Ed riped Dante's shirt and you saw her celvage not boobs. There is extensive amounts of blood in the series that probally wouldnt have gotten aired on regular day time television.
The main point I want to bring to you is that the term your using is incorrect and you should really correct yourself before making yourself look ignorant. "Not that you are"
Thanks.
I still haven't seen all of the FMA because I simply don't have the time anymore, but I have seen a lot of them and those ones I really enjoyed. My personal favorite animes are Blue Gender, HellSing, and Samurai X. I only missed the end of the Blue Genders, so that was dissapointing, but I saw the majority and I really liked it. I saw all of the Hellsing ones that I know of, and I have seen almost a huge majority of the Samurai X shows/movies and I like them a lot.
If you can't tell I am not a HUGE anime fan, and I just never have the time to finish the whole season.
I always loved Hellsing. Never really gathered too much in the Series. More along the lines of the manga. Samurai X was just rurouni kenshin for the television series.
