![]() So in the warped world of Netflix, you can masturbate in front of children but weeping in front of them is totally off-limits. Agree with it or not, I can understand why they censored half of Sailor Moon back in the nineties, but Pretty Cure? What angry phone calls from parents were they anticipating over Pretty Cure? This is the network that green-lit Big Mouth for Pete’s sakes, but they think a little crying is too much for kids to handle. If you’re going to dub, fine, but try to respect the lip flaps.įinally, the change to the show’s emotional tenor is unnecessary and even cowardly.

Watch the video above and wait for the scene comparison at the end, and I think you will see what I mean. dub debate, the dialogue in Glitter Force frequently makes me grit my teeth.

I generally agree with the sentiment, and I’m not one of those weebs who think the English language is an abomination that besmirches all Japanese media it touches, but I will say that I find heavy-handed localisations like Glitter Force to be wrongheaded. She ends the video by asking the haters to please show some restraint. ![]() Most of the changes she discusses I was already aware of, but one I wasn’t- Glitter Force eliminates or heavily edits the show’s more emotionally fraught scenes and removes references to death.
