It's talking about this site. Enoki Films is apparently a company that handles the selling of distrubution rights (for TV airing) of several anime serieses. Apparently having TV rights is entirely seperate from having DVD distribution rights.

So yeah, "Ursula's Kiss".

It's pretty horrifying stuff. Especially since the episode descriptions were clearly written by somebody who watched through the whole show fairly carefully. Bear in mind that this dub does not actually exist; the page is more along the lines of a proposal for an English-language localization.

As for the extra characters, I can only assume that Silver Mask, Pazolini, and Lady June must be the Shadow Girls. They're the only characters unaccounted for! However, this idea is so horrifying that my mind shudders at the thought. As for other characters, Juri is channeling her manga self, but I have no clue how they expect they could ever get that to work with the footage.

I sent an e-mail to them some time back asking if I could be put in contact with the guy who wrote the page so I could ask about that stuff, but I never got a response.

Oh god not this

I've never been able to get beyond the summary for episode nine.

I can't help but wonder who this "Goki Otori" guy is, and since when does Akio wear black? He wears red. I mean, he wears black pants, but those don't really count as "wearing black" if you have a brightly colored shirt.

As for Juri, she does appear to be channeling her manga self in the description, but if that were to be the case they'd have to cut all of the episodes featuring her.

What's rather amusing is that halfway through they ditch the stupid names and go back to the originals. Oh, and the summary of Episode 17 is actually accurate (even though the summary for Episode 7 leaves out the most important details).

MIKE??? somehow all of Akio's machinations would become moot if he was called Mike.

Who chose all these awful names?

You would think that if you were going to Americanised it you would choose a name that suits his phallic nature and call him Dick instead

It would be interesting to see this film if only to hear the music... I would be very VERY surprised if it could compare to the original stuff.

That's because they looks suspiciously near identical to the episode synopses from the old Utena Encyclopedia.

*moment of silence for the Utena Encyclopedia. TT__TT*

I followed this link and was reading the episode summaries only to find this...

Episode 15: [The Landscape Framed by Kozue] "Sono Kozue ga Sasu Fuukei
...She even has pushed a (gay) music teacher off a cliff.

What? What's all this (gay) about? Is this some sort of statement saying he is a music teacher ergo he is homosexual?

Ok, she pushed a (gay) off a cliff? I thought she pushed him down the stairs. Or am I remembering wrong?

Blasphemy!

Such a heretical thing should be forbidden. Or they should at least put a warning!

Actually... many of those names were used in the latin america dub of Utena... And the named was changed to "The magic ring" because you can't use revolution in a kids show or something... something completely retarded because is no a kids show in the first place. The series didn't suffer any censorship... at all (thank god) Jury's lesbianism and Anthy saturday knights were not tried to be hidden or blurred... the series never aired complete I'm not sure if the last episode was the Saionji duel or the Ruka one...
Not all the names where used though:
*"The seekers of the Armagedon" wasn't it was "The council of end of the world"
*Nanami was left as Nanami not as Nana.
*Kevin was used as first name for Saionji... Simon not, The full name was Kevin Kyoichi...
*Chris I think it wasn't used as a name for Kozue.
*Dios was changed to Dionisio... I think because it would cause a royal wreck if some parent organization notice it... well it would cause a royal wreck if they got a view of the series. But Dios meaning "God" in spanish wouldn't help at all.
* Who the hell is Tory (Goki Otori)?
*Mike: He like to wear black WTF? O.o
*    Silver Mask:
    A member of the "The Seekers of Armageddon." No one knows his/her true identity.

    Pazolini:
    The leader of the troop sent by "The Seekers of Armageddon."

    Lady June:
    The evil princess commanding the troop. Cool and merciless.

Are we talking about the same series?

The dub at least... it was good. Not incredible amazing as the mexican version Card Captor Sakura (It's said that is even better than the original japanese ) but it was more than bearable, something I can not say about the English dub.... (my ears bleeded when I tried to hear it )

I only watch English dubs to make myself laugh, but entirely too often they just make my ears bleed.

Remember that, Romanticide's comments about the Latin American dub's name similarities aside, this dub doesn't actually exist. The real English dub doesn't try to mess with the plot or anything, and contains some very good performances alongside some fairly painful ones (Shadow Girls, what happened to your energy?).

Except for Hellsing. That's a good dub.

You should be burned at the stake for saying that.... ¬.¬ (Is a hellsing fan)

nah... you have the right to like it, in fact many people like it but many people also(like me) despise it.

The hellsing dub would have been better if they kept closer to the original script but otherwise, no one can do English accents quite as well as the English and its almost unheard of to come across a japanese voice actor who can do good europeon accents.

It's actually rare to find a Japanese that can speak English correctly... XD But what actually bothers me is some voices. (Walter makes my ears bleed, he sounds to young) Crispin Freeman tries, but he just pales on Jouji Nakata sexiness and raspiness... and madness. Integral voice is exactly the same but she lacks passion. Seras voice and Jan is good. Not sure about the others couldn't stand much and switched to japanase.

Well, I primarily like the Hellsing dub because it has passable fake accents. They're not as good as the real thing but since I haven't been to England in years I'll take what I can get.

Crispin Freeman is a pretty good actor. Just for fun, here's a clip of him talking about Juri. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kj1Wd_Ymxe0
