Amazing, aint it? I hope ADV will translate it and put it on DVD, they did a good job with Final Fantasy Unlimited

My girlfriend'll probably love that. However, I can't stand Kingdom Hearts so I'd probably detest it.
And off to Moving Pictures.

You're entitled to your opinion. I just can't wait to see the others opinions :)

I never played that game, but I hear it's great. And I wonder what a Disney anime or anime of Disney would be like?

Kingdom Hearts Anime?!? *Goes flying into space while saying...* I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!! WHEEEE!!!!
ShadowKnuxx - May 10, 2004 08:44 PM (GMT)
As long as Jack Skellington is in it, I'll watch it.
Sonics_Sakura - May 10, 2004 08:45 PM (GMT)
O.O YYYEEESSS!!!! *jumps off the wall* YES YES YES YES!!!
This'll be so great, I cannot wait!
SpeedTH - May 12, 2004 01:43 AM (GMT)
I haven't gotten a chance to play the game, but it's supposed to be good based on the game. Should be an anime version of The Rogue's Gallery!! LMAO!!! :lol:
Itachi - May 12, 2004 01:47 AM (GMT)
Well if any of GOOD square characters are in it, I'll look into watching it.
Flarechiisu - May 12, 2004 01:49 AM (GMT)
This might be interesting....disney chars speeking japanise XDDDDDDDDDDDDD that will be funny
I think an anime is a bit over the top though...i dont like most shows about games...Final fantasy unlimited was alright, not my fave though
SpeedTH - May 12, 2004 02:54 AM (GMT)
I hope Sephiroth will at least be in it, as well as other Squaresoft characters
~hugs his bad-ass Sephy plushie when no one is looking~

Well, if it's true, I'm definitively looking forwards to it. This has been the subject of discussion over at various KH-sites, and nobody is really sure if it's true or a mere rumour... but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Both for it being true, and that they will include Kefka. Kefka is the awesome. There is no way I could ever put in text or words how much I love that psycho clown. He could pwn that silvery-haired whiney little mamas-boy anyday o' the week, twice on Sundays, and thrice on days when the sun shines. He is the bestest of them all.

WHAT?! A different opinion than the most common one?! Insanity! Heresy! BURN HIM! We must force him to like it, freedom of opinion be damned! A world where people don't like Kingdom Hearts is a world where the terrorists have already won! Do you want that Eastwood? Huh, do you!?

o.o
PLEASE LET IT BE ON MY CABLE SERVICE.

Disney + Square = Game I'd rather miss.
Unlike a lot of people I'm not a Japanfreak, Square freak or Anime Freak and I'm firmly a very "western" person.
Prolly why I love Battletech so much. :D

ARE YOU INSANE?!?!
If it was on Fox Box, it'd be dubbed by 4kids...and 4kids doesn't even HIRE translators. They just make stuff up!
Besides, since Disney is a primarily american company, I doubt any third party would do the translating. But whatever.
Personally, I think this is another one of Eisner's moneygrubbing ideas. What's a better way to make money than to exploit the fans of anime and squaresoft?
BobCat - May 18, 2004 06:24 AM (GMT)
Hm... this'll be interesting.
Of course, I predict it'll get delayed by legal battles over the rights. I mean, with any crossover you get concerns with that. Plus, this would probably end up being the only anime with a decisively better dub than sub.
I mean, I cannot imagine Goofy speaking Japanese.
"Konichiwa, A-Hyuk!"
On the plus side, the pro-dub people would finally learn some of the pain of the pro-sub people.
Mr. O.M.A - May 18, 2004 06:26 AM (GMT)
I've heard Goofy and Donald in Japanese in some of the KH videos that came here before dubbing began. And they did quite all right. Sounded almost like the real voices speaking in Japanese.

Huh, wow, makes me wonder why we don't outsource more of our voices overseas...

I know I'd pick up this title when and if it's made. I loved Kingdom Hearts and think an anime about it would be a great thing to give the fans, assuming it's done right.
Question is, what would it be about? Prequel to part one? Intro to KH2? Or perhaps a KH1 direct translation from game to movie? Who knows? All I know is that I can't wait to see what happens here.
Yamatoman - May 18, 2004 07:04 PM (GMT)
4Kids did good with Pokémon by keeping in the soundtrack, but they ruined Sonic X by putting in extremely dramatic music even when the mood is good.
Sonic: Hey Tails, lets go to the mall
*dramatic chord*
Sonic: What the hell was that?!

Eh. Fantastic. I think. Or maybe not. Truth to be told, I never really was a big fan of Kingdom Hearts. The battle system was solid, but the levels and characters left me feeling like something was missing. I might watch it. But I won't buy it.
