I really shouldn't give a crap, but I put that vid up back in January.

EDIT: This isn't me saying 'Old news!' or anything. I was just surprised to see that three other people have now uploaded it too, two just in the last week. It's the exact same vid. What is the point?

They repost because they want the credz I guess. Did you encode this as well? Where did you find this and what's the premise? *brain melts trying to comprehend everything*

 

[DiscoInferno]

I really don't even remember. It's not *my* vid (which is why I shouldn't care about the reposts). I must have I downloaded it from.. somewhere and in January, I randomly came across it on my comp and decided to up it (after doing a search to make sure it wasn't there already).

The only thing I can say is that this vid might be connected to it.

... I don't think I'm going to understand much of Korean Television :sly:

Hi. I'm just gonna pop in once to say my bit and then I'll get out.

It's a known fact that dubbings are almost always inherently bad. There are few dubs which are really good - ie. Gundam Wing. But I've watched several threads about stuff like this, postings from Youtube about various Kdubbings and I've kept my peace.

However, it's getting a bit irritating when every time something is shown like this, that we get the typical "OMG, that's so horrible. Ahh my ears, they bleeeeeeeed" reactions. Do you guys even consider perhaps the time period that such things are made? And for what audience? Yes, we're used to hearing certain things (ie. the original street fighter, the movie, whatever - Original Sentai OPs/EDs) and it's normal human reaction to find something unfamiliar a bit off-beat, weird, and even potentially threatening.

But seriously. To pass wholesale judgment on the whole of Korean TV Entertainment based on several redone Sentai OPs or tv-shows, is a bit much, if not ignorant.

Now, of course, you're entitled to your opinions. Hey, even I agree some of the Kdubs I hear are really really bad. But, before you go off and post something or make blanket statements about a culture you know little about, please consider how others who are of that culture, and just general respect and regard for the public, will take that statement. Thanks. --Mara

I was just commenting on how that almost 4 min bad theme song wormed it's way into my head and would not go away for a couple hours! I've had songs stuck in my head before that drove me crazy...but for some reason that one just topped the list of bad songs to sneak past my defenses and rattle around in my brain.

I didn't mean to sound like I was generalizing Kdubbings at all, since I haven't seen many at all.

Erm.. Are you saying (for example) that godawful Korean Maskman Opening and that squeaky Flashman Opening is meant to appeal to Korean audiances?

Sorry if I sound like I don't get what you're talking about..

Oh, and would it also be worth mentioning the budget? I'm predicting the Korean Maskman dub was very low budget, which may explain the dodginess of the theme tune.
