Neverending Waaaa~aank, aah-aah-aah...eh, you know the rest...
Some background--Pokémon was picked up by PUSA, who promptly fired all the original dub cast and replaced them with horrible, untalented "soundalikes". After fan outcry, PUSA recast, but still thumbed their noses as the 4Kids VAs who had played the parts for eight years. Neither side has yet to offer an explaination, but 4Kids VA Maddie (Meowth) Blaustein has taken part in a lot of fan discussions. Anyway, on with the wank!
You all remember SOVA, the group dedicated to getting back the original voice actors, right? Well, now Habunake (who some of you may remember having a picture of Fat May in his sig) has started SONVA, "dedicated" to keeping the new voice cast.
The wank comes when FabuVinny starts a thread asking Habunake "what are you guys trying to prove?"
And it bursts out of the floodgates from there. Habunake insists that PUSA has a better track record than 4Kids (even though out of three PUSA-dubbed episodes, there's already been major mistakes). Jonouchi insists that SOVA "tore apart the fandom," not offering any explaination. FabuVinny weighs in on the whole "going on national TV" thing that gave SOVA a black eye. Habunake comes back hating on SOVA for something no one can remember anyone saying.
And that's just on the first page! Later, Pie, the head of the SOVA, gets involved, then the whole thing gets locked. But it remains for your viewing pleasure.
