Thnks for the memories by I forgot who (no that’s not they’re name I genuinely have no sweet clue who it was)

Thnks fr th mmrs - Fall Out Boy Yes, that is how it's spelled.

But the openings are still good I’ll die on that hill.

Oh yeah, no, that has 100% happened and it sucks.

The difference is Rev is being absurd by trying to be serious. Yaro is being absurd by being silly.

We're doing our best.

This is a thoughtful comment and that warrants a thoughtful response. Let's separate Discotek from Sound Cadence. JelloApocalypse never worked for Discotek, and Discotek did not make the English dub for Lovely Complex. Their job in this situation was giving some funds to Sound Cadence -- not enough, because they did not feel that Lovely Complex had enough appeal to make a dub a marketable expense. They were prepared to distribute it sub-only, or maybe not at all. Sound Cadence was the studio that wrote and directed the dub. They hired JelloApocalypse to help write scripts for the dub as a favor. The truth is, Sound Cadence also could not afford to dub this show, so they did a lot of backdealing to make it happen. The main promise from them to their writers was that they'd get credited for an anime, which they could use as experience. This is obviously a problematic set up, and it's not common, but it's also not unheard of in the anime industry. Doing oddjob favors like this is how some VAs and writers make it into the industry. Discotek never claimed victimhood. They got backlash for Jello's rant despite the fact they never hired him, and they responded by saying that they produced dubs with punched up jokes and released subs for more "by the line" translations. They blacklisted both Sound Cadence and Jello because of his rant. Sound Cadence is the one who is actually suffering from this move because the LoveCom dub was a project that the heads of the studio were willing to go into the hole financially for, and its release got marred by Jello being irresponsible. Here is why Jello deserves the brunt of the ire: 1. He threw his friends under the bus. Sound Cadence also helped edit and direct Epithet Erased probably for crumbs because they are a fairly boutique studio. That's a relationship that he benefitted from and he fucked it up for both of them. 2. He was not mistreated by any of the people involved. He was asked a favor, agreed to it, didn't like the project, and remained in it of his own volition. He made demands about how the script needed to be changed beyond "punching up" dialog and insisted that they follow his vision on what trans-inclusivity means. 3. One of the things he insisted on was that they rewrite the anime because he "wants to write good romance." This goes far and above translation or even localization. This is flagrant disrespect to authorial vision. He should've been removed, sure, but he also should've removed himself. 4. It would've been incredibly easy, professional and harmless if he has ranted "this was a tough production, but we put out the best we could, please check it out and reward our hard work!" He instead ranted "this was a tough production, I hate this anime, and here's all the things I did to make it not like the anime." He did this knowing that he was entering this opinion into the wider discourse about anime dubs because he specifically spelled out that other dubbing companies disliked the hate they got for even hinting at trans-inclusivity. That he knew that and decided to post it where it would be public shows a reckless disregard for his own cause, let alone the work his friends did. I specifically wrote the part responding to Jello's claim that he was working on behalf of trans people in the LoveCom dub, but just to elaborate a bit: Jello refers to this dub as the "trans-iest anime dub" in existence. They hired trans-readers, cast trans actors for trans characters and even for extras. He did not do any of this. The tenor of his post casts him as a hero (with a few others) for making this the "trans-iest anime dub," when he was a script writer. The heavy lifting and money spent to do all this was done by other people, not him. He stole the valor of a lot of people who actually did work on behalf of trans rights, and those are the people who are going to suffer. He can hate the show if he wants. He did not have to work on it. I'm judging him by the consequences of his actions, rather than his intentions (although his intentions probably sucked too). His post torpedoed the "trans-iest anime dub" of all time. His post is indelibly going to make it harder for either Discotek or Sound Cadence to make trans-sensitive content. He harmed his own cause and he through his friends under the bus. It would've been so very easy not to do any of that, but he was selfish and lacks any sort of common sense.

@@Dealortruth Thanks for the thoughtful response! So often I get responses that cuss me out and don’t elaborate their disagreements. As I said, this was the first I had heard of this controversy, so I didn’t have all the details. I decided to check the critical piece of this information with the original post, but I plan to look more into it. I’ll be looking at both sides of the argument since the truth can typically be found somewhere in between. There was wrong done on both sides, I agree Jello went about this the wrong way, but some things in this video weren’t adding up right to the person I’ve come to know. That’s still not to say he is infallible, but this is a lot more complicated than this video makes it out to be. Depending on how this situation plays out, I might still be a fan of Jello. Everyone makes mistakes, some worse than others. But it’s dependent on how he handles this situation.

Okay, just finished some more digging. It seems like every official post has been deleted on both sides, so all that remains are screen caps. This is definitely really complicated. Discotek went on to assure that the dub was fine and it removed all of jello’s involvement; Sound Cadence was a bit harder to find but basically states that every script had to go through a lot of checks before it was green lit; I couldn’t find an official response from Marissa Lenti, but I’m guessing they are still friends since she does join some lets play streams of his. As far as I can tell after reading a lot of information about this debacle, the biggest problem was that he shit talked the original version while patting himself on the back. It is one of his toxic traits that has always been present. He has always been that way where he is brutally honest with his opinions, it just finally came back to bite him.

Jello (Brendan) decided to 'rework' the script, basically rewriting the entire series, of an anime called Lovely Complex in an attempt to make the series less homo/transphobic. NuxTaku/Nuxanor did a reaction of Jello's rewrites vs. the original script, and the series actually isn't THAT offensive. The original paints them as different, yes, but not wrong for just living their lives like everybody else. Edit: Yes, I know this practice is nothing new, but what really upset people this time was the arrogance Jello had, insisting that his rewrites 'saved' the series, and that it was complete garbage before he 'fixed' it. He even wanted to (probably did, wouldn't shock me) remove the author's cameo in her OWN work as a salon stylist. The same company (This Discotek Media)he's working with also decided to screw over Samurai Pizza Cats, for what it's worth.

I dont actually care about Brendan one way or another. Out of character here, but my personal opinion really is that Jello really skrewed the pooch and made a mess of the whole dub. He threw his frends under the bus, DT under the bus and discredited the people that worked on it for his blatant actions that he refused to removed himself from. But at the end of the day, I dont care what he does from this point. But he was a centerpiece of this problem due to how recent it was. Overall, the video is about respecting the creative intent but also to make it very clear that we dont take these shows integrety to an extreme because they are media that we consume for money. Its extreamly transactional and if you dont like it then you can not buy it, not watch it, and not interact with it. Something that certain creators and their ilk do not do, but instead sensationalize it to make a quick buck. TLDR: I dont care about Brendan. There is no right way to make a dub, but there sure as hell is a wrong way, its a anime not a fucking lost tresure from Babaloinia, and dont believe everything you hear from certain content creators trying to concvince you the indutry is worse than the actual issues with the industry. Cause they are not.

You are "Him"!

Every Time

32:50 ALSO TRUE

Sir... are you okay? Cause that was a joke. Ya know. A Funny haha.

​@@YaroShienI don't think they're okay.

@@hernehaugen6878 I dont either. But I hope they feel better.

@@YaroShien Agreed. Good video by the way.

Technically at the time it existed it would be called a "Full Series Gag Real" since it's the full episodes & series but I would personally call it "Abridged before Abridging was a thing"
