No, I am not trying to start a thread about Japanese vs English dub in animes, but rather, I need some help.
I want to buy some anime DVDs, but am unsure whether to get the English version, or import the original Japanese version. I definitely want to buy Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and Cowboy Bebop: Knockin on Heaven's Door. My question is, are there any scenes edited out in the English version of these films? I've been trying to do a search on it, but haven't come across a web site which list the difference. Because if they are, I would much rather buy import the original Japanese version.
Also, what I don't like about English dubbing is it changes the content of what is spoken. I am really fussy about things like that in foreign movies. What I am asking is, if I get the original Japanese version, will the English subtitles be more exact to what is spoken as apposed to the English version? Does anyone know? Because I don't mind subtitles, I actually prefer them.
As for Cowboy Bebop: Knockin on Heaven's Door, I don't know about the English version. Only the Japanese version was shown in Australia.
Man, I really need to get off my ass and apply for that Japanese course in the city.
