Walking On Sunshine wrote: How about the people who actually don't mind GF? I mean yeah it's not the greatest thing in the universe, but there are some people out there who may not find it all that offensive or anything. What about them? I would question the thought process of those people - why would anyone support a butchered adaption that quite practically destroyed any chances of Pretty Cure being properly adapted? If we were to go to with my earlier proposal, then that would involve redubbing every series to its current one. Which leads me to think - what was the point of GF again, if they were actually meant to be fixed later down the road?

Anyway, the only logical stance I see is to boycott GF. Let's all gather together and reject that travesty of an adaption, and let those that are in charge know that this is not what we want. Fans need to take a stance, and should not settle for "this isn't too bad", '''because it is bad. Horrible, in fact. It's absolute cringe, and in all the bad ways.'''

The Smile Precure dub deleted 8 EPs out of 48, while the Doki Doki dub deleted 19 out of 49. This garbage adaption we know as GF is not presenting the series as intended. If you don't reject GF, then that means:


 * You're willing to accept your beloved franchise being mishandled


 * You're willing to accept a crappy rebrand, as opposed to the real brand


 * You're willing to accept large amounts of episodes being deleted for who-knows-why. Just watch - in the next GF dub, they'll delete half the show.

Okay, please don't quote my entire post if you're just gonna reply to me directly. Just tag me and I'll read your reply.

If you're an English fan, the only real way you could watch Precure (barring the FW dub) is with '''fansubs. '''In other words, an unofficial release. That's fine, since most Precure series aren't dubbed, and the GF ones are rubbish, anyway. But it's still not official. I'm advocating for official, properly dubbed Precure series, so that one more language option is given to the fans that don't want to read. And no, GF is not an option. Abominations don't get to be options.

And please, please, please don't compare official releases to fanfiction, because it simply does not work that way. GF may be absolute crap, but it's still an official release. My question is WHY a freaking parodical knockoff is being marketed as the official release. I LOVE dubs, but this is simply not how adaption works.

Good adaptions are expected to retain the spirit of the original by tweaking the dialogues to better fit their target audience, as opposed to outright deleting episodes just because the adaption team is too incompetent to think ways of adapting them.
