Animania
« on: June 09, 2008, 09:07:54 PM »
So, I was browsing Minitokyo when I found a scan from http://www.animania.de/, a ...german? magazine on anime. Anyone here subscribe or anything? Or speak german. Seriously, if anyone would be willing to get that issue, I think we'd all really appriciate it. That and scans. Lots of scans.

That site sure is impudent: not only it requires JavaScript to open at all, but also cookies. :-/ I've bought the magazine before, I'll see what I can do.

Negative on the last post: I've ran through all stores that sell magazines in the vicinity and only about a half of them knew what "Animania" is at all. From the way I put that last statement, you should conclude that none had a copy for sale. And the local Geek Store was closed. :-\

--edit--

Apparently, the series has been licensed in Germany by Anime-Virtual... that is SO frakked up, if you ask me: Madlax is STILL not licensed back here, and Cazzy has never been licensed in English...  >:(

Good find, and thanks for doing the groundwork, K!

Maybe it's because the main villain is German?

Heh, that maybe. And Madlax is neglected because half of the main cast are French. :D

 Not French, Nafrecian! :D Say, if you, or anyone else, buy the German release could you tell us about the DVD extras and available subtitles? I don't suppose they'd include English subtitles huh? ^^;

They've got the Eiffel Tower, so they're French. 8)

Well, if I ever do, which I probably won't, that'd be no trouble at all. %)

Nah, Germans don't like English language.

Crud! If Cazzy were to get licensed in Germany I'd be kicking myself for not sticking with German class in high school. ;D

Just noticed this among the "promoted videos" on YouTube:

Not entirely content with how they translated "yuigon attara, dozo" but who am I to complain. :D

"Strange" is the word that fits best for that German dub if you ask me...  ::)

Well, I found it OK... but as the previous studies (particularly considering the German dub of Noir) have pointed out, my opinion on quality of German dubs cannot serve as a universal reference. %)

IMO the German dub that I like has yet to come.  ;)

To me it sounded like the 1000 other low-cost German anime dubs, I mean, come on, even the word order is messed up and it sounds SOOO fake!
