Walking on Sunshine, CureHibiki, and Shadowneko, I should’ve told you this a long time ago, about my hatred toward the Glitter Force series. I could’ve put this in the existing topics in my message wall. I made this separate message so you’ll be able to find it in my message wall without having it being buried with other comments.

The reason for keeping the Pretty Cure name after the English Futari wa and accurately translating the Pretty Cure series to stay true to original is still true, so audiences will have the chance to watch the original while in an audio dub language they can understand. Why exactly I wanted a foreign dub series to receive faithful dubs is to pay respectful tributes and credit to the series’ creators. As a thanks for the series they made, appreciate what they gave us. Not to please the International philiacs. Same thing for cover versions of songs.

I didn’t want to write these comments and post them online because as musician, I never wanted my creations and words to be made online because I wanted to be like Jim Morrison famous, make my music as an art form, memorable, universal and timeless classics. Even I know you can’t do the exact same thing or being too different as how writers made their work because people may think those people are either rehashing, ripping off, trashing their work, taking all the credit, or just being a tribute artist.

Especially with covering songs, you can use the same lyrics and play the same chords, but it has to be different so the audience won’t at least be confused between versions, so they can be their thing while still being faithful to the source material without disregarding it.

When it comes to dubbing shows, using the same title as the original, I do think it’s best to use the same video footage, background music and sound effects, and simply translate the script. Using the same voice style while speaking in a different language is both faithful and different at the same time so the characters could sound believable in other languages, and like how people in real life sound the same when they speak in different languages.

I understand from you are saying the series is made for kids, but I think that has to stay true as to how the writers intended, even giving kids a chance to appreciate Pretty Cure. If the series content is a little too adult, it shouldn’t be censored, it could just be given a TV-G rating instead.

I do hear the series is made to sell, but I like to view creations of shows, movies, video games, and music as an art form as stated before, not to sell out and be a money hog. Just like how Bill Waterson of Calvin & Hobbes dislike how adaptations can ruin a series and go against the messages from the series.

Anything that’s made online, uploaded, gets distributed online gets messed around by users to where it can be piracy and copyright infringement and also hard to enjoy creations on their own merits. So I am probably thinking about deleting this message so it wouldn’t feel like being published online.

Artists can still make money while caring more about control of their creations and distribution, just as a thanks for what they made, and giving people a chance to own a copy of the artists work to enjoy them at home whenever artists decide to sell copies of their music and illustrations.

Of course, creations have to be made in a way they know people will like and remember a long time. That’s the kind of person Jim Morrison and other 20th century artists are. They wanted their arts to be remembered to for many years to come. And their works are universal so they can loved by anyone in the world matter what culture, race, religion, or who people they are.

I hope you administrators got my points about what’s my reasoning for the Pretty Cure series and other foreign shows and entertainment deserving properly made dubs and tributes. Not to be a fanboy, but to respect and credit other people’s properly made works.
