Also anime characters talking in American accents just makes me shudder; its so wrong, especially when the sound of the spoken Japanese is so beautiful.
Really? You know, if we were talking about the English dub of "Sonic X" here, I'd agree with you, but from what I understand, the English dubs of Miyazaki's works really have a lot going for them and as far as English dubs go, they're quite exceptionally good in my opinion. Plus, this is a choice that I'm making and not only do I wish to make this re-edit for the reasons that I've already stated, but I also hope to either cut down on or fix the so-called audio 'problem' in the 2010 edit which most viewers say makes the voice actors sound like they're "talking into a fan". Just so you know, I own the 2010 DVD and I've downloaded a DVD rip of the 2003 DVD which includes the 1998 English dub released by Disney which they say has superior sound quality. I hope to get started on the re-edit tomorrow once I've ripped the entire movie from my 2010 DVD. I hope you can respect my choice.
