I think the SMC subs go with 'bun-head' for 'odango', which always makes me think of Princess Leia.

This is what the new dub goes with too.

There was a Sailor V video game in the anime, and Sailor V was a real person. Did Minako actually license her likeness out or is there skullduggery afoot?

It's adorable that Chibi-Usa didn't know what a cavity or dentist was, apparently the power of the Silver Crystal gives everyone perfect teeth. It was like Kirk and Spock forgetting money existed.

If you're so determined to be literal and accurate, why not just directly transliterate what I'm assuming have to be katakana? Why romanize it weirdly?

One thing you didn't mention in the LP, but which made me intensely mad when I played the game, is that at the beginning of Mercury's section she says "I'm standing on Mont Blanc in Switzerland, the highest point in Europe."

No. Mont Blanc is not in Switzerland, it's shared between Italy and France. Mercury's supposed to be the smart one :argh:

Eh, boundary lines were different in the 90s.

I can't remember, what are some other dubs we got that were Canadian? I know the Ranma ones had lots of Canadian voice actors but I'm not sure about the others.

A bit more modern, but Black Lagoon and Death Note were Canadian dubs. Revy's VA is one of the sisters on Johnny Test!

I really don't get this complaint, as I believe there's no reason to change names for a dub unless they are heavily, heavily punny like in Pokemon and Ace Attorney (not just meaningful like Sailor Moon - something that was only really localized with Usagi -> Serena). Then again, one of my favorite dubs is Mushishi's, which is a show as Japanese as they come.

No, you see, anything that's in English isn't allowed to have Japanese characters in it because their names aren't English.

I hear what you're saying. I have to call my Japanese friend Jimmy because it's just so jarring to hear a name in a different language.

Edit: Mostly, I don't understand what your argument actually IS if not "Foreign names are weird and everyone should have normal names because this is America"
