I don'...I was there at the Star Quest screening. I don't recall the particulars it was so long ago, except that though I didn't think Honneamise was a terrible movie, what they did to it was(I guess because they were trying to break into the American market). The audience was polite, but if you wanted to hear honest opinions, the restroom was the place to listen in! I still have one of the little gifts they gave away that night-- one of those small Japanese boxes with desktop supplies neatly fitted inside like a puzzle.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498739.post-81113832386593370892017-01-18T17:04:36.447-08:002017-01-18T17:04:36.447-08:00So strange to find this account online, even stran...So strange to find this account online, even stranger that the date is so close to 30 years ago exactly.<br /><br />I was there that night in Mann's theatre, sitting next to Toren Smith in fact. His reaction in the theatre was much less diplomatic than his later article.<br /><br />It is better that STARQUEST remains LOST, it was...well..."the horror, the horror" is all that comes to mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929217298166994019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498739.post-6206978212246565502014-04-14T11:16:10.046-07:002014-04-14T11:16:10.046-07:00Well at least someone had a chance to see it at al...Well at least someone had a chance to see it at all. This is the sort of thing where the best we can hope for is a screener copy or a workprint copy to surface at all (had been in that business for years myself). These of course would be tapes mostly made for internal/promotional uses and often carry all sorts of clutter on the screen in the form of time codes and "Property of" messages.<br /><br />The film itself (having read about it) sounds like something out of "Warriors of the Wind" in terms of adaptation and expectations. This was still not a decade that appreciated anime at all than the decade that followed.<br /><br />Lea Hernandez told one interesting thing related to this film involving one Gainax employee having been in LA at that showing and overheard one of the Hollywood guys involved with the dub having told a friend something like "Yeah, you know it really needed to be fix, it wasn't that good, how it was in Japan is not really that important."<br /><br />She felt that Gainax in those days was rather in over their head when it came to how they wanted to get their films and other projects accepted in the US as what they had with operating a US subsidiary of General Products. She felt as a company, Gainax was very disorganized back then, especially with making foolish business decisions such as getting Wings of Honneamise dubbed as "Star Quest". You can hear a lot about this in this ANN Cast interview...<br />http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2014-03-07Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498739.post-50924874003769701372013-09-09T22:08:47.328-07:002013-09-09T22:08:47.328-07:00Haha!

There was this show called "Japanimation" that showed many random animes with english dub. It was also there that I watched Tank Police for the first time. Since it was the american version, the opening song had no vocal. Good and crazy times!

Its like Jerry Lewis' The Day the Clown Cried. Our curiosity overwhelms us. <br /><br />And so it is with this dub. I hope the Star Quest version leaks out someday. It would be interesting/amusing to see how much of the story is changed. ArnoldRimmer83noreply@blogger.com
