It's a dealbreaker. The walk away type.
I hate Robotech's dub, and I only even watch the first part based on Macross when I rewatch it, but I can't do anything else, because I've listened to Macross ost and that's not my childhood, ok?
But then, I also grew up on the DiC Sailor Moon, and I knew something wasn't right, and quickly hunted down the truth, thanks in no small part to the ancient Ms. Haruna's Classroom.
I'm just 42 years old now and Robotech is one of the first exposures to anime AND sci fi AND romantic drama wee Morninglord ever had, all of which are things I am a massive fan of now. That's a lot of nostalgia to fight. I don't think anything could survive.
I'm quite aware its entirely personal.
Not only did Robotech craft three of my primary interests as an adult (four if you include taste in action scene soundtracks), Frontier instantly instilled in me a deep primal need for that goddam squishy frog phone.
Seriously I need this thing why hasn't anyone invented it yet god GIVE IT TO ME
You've heard that Discotek is releasing the English dub version of Digimon on SD-BD, yeah?

I have not yet managed to track down a sub of original macross to get this experience myself but I'll bet I have a similar reaction, I am very attached to the robotech soundtrack as well.
I grew up watching the Spanish dub, which kept the original Japanese score.
Rewatching the English dub and it just felt wrong, even though I know there's tons of people who love it.
Rock the Dragon does slap though.
even weirder when you hear the original Japanese voices.
it's pretty decent
I'm kind of a sucker for a thing having multiple variants of a song and I really like when they use an instrumental version of Chala Head Chala.
please
it's Chainsaw-Man
If you like it try out Goodbye, Eri. It's a one-shot by the same author and I really dug it
I've watched (some of) the original DBZ dub, and DBZA completely replaced those voices in my mind. They're very good.
Also,
This virtually shouts 80's Bubble Economy in all the best ways.
The story certainly isn't perfect - primarily that The Other Girl is just totally not compelling as a romantic rival so the only reason stopping the main two from getting together is the protagonist not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings - but it's got a lot of charm to it still.
The second one is even more like... I can see the loss of Miura on the page, artistically. Both in terms of the raw quality of the art, and the page layout and paneling. It is not bad, not at all! I wouldn't call it anything approaching bad! But you can see it, y'know?
Still, stuff is capital-h Happening in that story again, and I remain immensely curious where it goes and how it ends

Oh, so its realistic...
If it's really Canadian, shouldn't it be Dragon Ball Zed?
As for Sailor Moon, I'm so used to both versions of the original anime that I end up bouncing off of Crystal for not being long enough if that makes sense. Yeah, Crystal's supposed to be a faithful retelling of the manga but no Doom Tree and Moonlight Knight? No thanks.

If I walked outside and there were literal aliens streaming down from the skies in giant spaceships blowing up everything and this wasnt playing
I'd just close the door and go back to bed cos it clearly isn't very urgent.
Having just read the first few chapters of yu-gi-oh, it is _amazingly_ rough on the villains.
Second one: TV producer tries to set up fake bullying scenario, gets cursed so that now he sees everything through a censorship-mosaic filter. (and about 10x8 pixels' worth of it based on the picture we see of his eyes, which is a _very_ low-res way to see the world).
Third one: bully makes him listen to bad karaoke, is punished by having the sound of his heart become deafeningly loud so it's all he can hear.
Fourth: as mentioned, prison escapee holding friend as hostage, gets burned alive. Not clear if he lives or dies, though.
Fifth: fake fortune-teller; this one is relatively mild, he just gets exposed as a fraud.
And then someone gets literally blown up with explosives, someone has their face turn into a jigsaw puzzle and fall apart, someone is stung (to death?) by a scorpion, it is really not any good being a bad guy in this world, sheesh.
Something to note was that one of the Millennium Item owners, Shadi, was introduced during this pre-DM era. If you're aware of the character, you can probably guess that his intro here was a mite more brutal then the DM-anime's take.

Crystal is largely treated as a snoozefest, there's a reason you're seeing the classic series pushed more than the new one. Only the most diehard fans enjoy the remake, and even they begrudgingly admit the classic is better.
In a lot of ways, the games themselves were a test of the person's character. Penalty Games weren't meant to be a punishment for losing a game but for being such a scumbag that you couldn't even pass up the chance to cheat in a game that was just as dangerous to Yami-Yugi as it was to you. Case in point was the first game. Remember that the end goal was to get as much cash as you could without stabbing yourself. Naturally the bully's guts started to fail him after a few attempts and he ultimately decided that he'd just use the knife on YY instead. Thus he earned having his sanity voided for the foreseeable future.
In the case of the convict, it was just that YY didn't NEED his magic to give the guy a very bad day at the end which was probably the point of the story; dark magic is only PART of what makes YY dangerous to mess with. Remember at the end of the day...

Re: the spoiler
For as terrifying as Yami could be I think Shadi beats him out for sheer levels of fucked up AND fucked around though with less "found out" than could have happened which was actually surprising considering his interaction with Yugi/Yami was like:
Shadi: "Okay I'm gonna put your friends in mortal danger to decide whether or not I need to kill you, losing this game will kill you, winning will kill you friends, and also I'm not going to accept my first loss so I'm going to invade your soul directly and learn all your secrets by force even though this could destroy said soul if I decide to wreck you."
Yami: "Tell me more."
Shadi: "Oh fuck."
Yy: ahh fair odds then?
