If Evangelion were dubbed by…DIC
Dub Names
"All right, I think we all agree that American children are insipid and pathetic lifeforms," the speaker was a high ranking DIC executive. One can tell he is high ranking because he is slightly rounder and more pompous that the others in the room. "So we have come up with several possible dub names for the characters on Neon Genesis Evan…Evan…oh! You know what I mean!
"Bring out the slides, men: Specimen one: Mee-saw-toe Cat-sue-roggy. We have decided to name her…MICHELLE JOHNSON!"
One of the many young, nervous Jr. Executives cautiously asked, "Why Johnson? It doesn't really sound like Katsuragi…"
"I picked Johnson because I'm a high ranking DIC executive and can do whatever I want to! You're just a young, nervous Jr. Executive so you can't do anything about it! Understand?"
"Y-y-yes sir!"
"Good. Now on to specimen two: Shin-gee Ee-car-ree. We're going to call him Sam Carter. Questions?" the Executive glares pointedly at the Jr. Executives.
They all gulp and shake their heads.
"Alright then. Ray I-a-nommy. For a while we contemplated Reina, just for a change of pace, but we decided it was still to difficult for American kids. So we settled on Raye Anderson. For As-suka Langley Showruu, Anna Langley Stevens. Any FEEDBACK?"
The Jr. Execs immediately begin to shower words of praise very rapidly and all at the same time.
"Good, good. Now we'll be moving very quickly through the "minor" characters:
Gen-dough Ee-car-ree is George Carter. Rit-sue-ko Uh-cog-ee is Ritzy Acton. For Toe-gee Sue-zu-harra we picked Tom Stevens, and his friend Ken-sue-kay Ada is Kenneth Adams. May-yuh Ibu-key is Maia Ibenson. That's it for now. Any questions?"
The first Jr. Executive tentatively raises his hand.
"Yes?"
"Wh-what about Hi-Hikari Hiroki-ki and Kaji Ryo-ouji?"
"Ah, yes, them. Chris Roberts and Heather Hilliard. That it?"
Everyone is silent.
"Good. Meeting adjourned. 10:30 tomorrow for a meeting on character design and scene editing."
To be continued…
How'd you guys like it? It's going to be three chapters long and the last will be what an edited episode would be like.
