Anime themes in other languages?

Postby BishounenStalker » Fri Jul 18, 2003 9:23 pm

Anybody here encountered anime openings dubbed in other languages besides English or Japanese? I'm not counting the GitS: SAC opening in Russian because it's originally written that way. But it's a strange phenomenon I'm starting to find more of.

For instance, I remember having the Sailor Moon opening in German on my hard drive a while back. Weird techno remix thing, too. And I've found a One Piece opening theme in Italian of all things.

Has anyone out there found world dubs with their own opening themes?

I'm pretty fluent in Russian.

I don't understand a single sentence or even a word the HCP... err, I meant GitS:SAC song says!

And this is the only song in Russian I don't get.

On topic... none that I have seen. sry

:lol:

Не удивительно...

I remember hearing that on some online radio station, and I was like... hmm... what language is this... only about 3 minutes in I started realizing there was something Slavic about it. Then a friend of mine told me it was Russian. I wouldn't have guessed :roll:

Sailor Moon in Spanish . all 200 episodes . . both the opening and closing ( which sounds Better than the Spanish harmonies ^^ ) and the same with MKR and many many others ^^ Azteca-7 Mexico D.F. via Sattillite

the Italians dod one heck of a good job dubbing the openings on Media1
Lisa e Sayia - St. Tails opening . . plus many many others

the German opening you had to sailor Moon, was that from Toto's or Ms Haruka's ??? . . that one did not sound like ANYTHING I had ever heard !!!

Not exactly sure where I got it from, it was too long ago. All I remember is that it was like some dance mix thing. Not even the same tune as the traditional SM opening. It sounded better :shock:

Well I know the german openings for One Piece, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, and all those card gathering series like Digimon, YuGiOh and the stuff. Well let me quote, they all pretty much suck, althought the first DBZ opening Head Cha La wasn't THAT bad...
