Zoids pilot dubs recorded in Japan

[takao]

Before getting dubbed in Vancouver, Zero and Fuzors had pilots recorded in Japan ... in English.

Fuzors having a pilot recorded in Japan confuses me. Given that show's production you wouldn't expect ShoPro to need to make something to sell internationally.

Interesting! Can't say the voice actor for Bit is very good, but it's still a fun fact to know. I wonder if this was just a test shot before they pitched it for overseas markets, or?

Can't say I'd ever seen that footage before! It feels so strange, probably because I'm so used to the original Bit Cloud but yea interesting to see.

I assume so. It's just really weird Fuzors got a pilot dub, since you'd think that show was produced from the ground up with international audiences in mind.

The sound is not really good and he is basicly the same text, maybe its just a bit slower played and the bad sound quality ?

By the way can you beleave, none of any Zoids cartoon did air in Germany.
