Talk:Carl Macek

message: This page should mention some how the rip Macek did of Näussicca of the Valley of the Wind as Warriors of the Wind, and Miyazaki's subsequent decition (based directly in Macek's rip_ of never releasing any of his movies out of japan (however this has changed with the Disney-Tokuma deal).
----
Fortunately for him, Carl Macek didn't do Warriors of the Wind or he'd probably be dead by now, LOL. We have New World Pictures (Roger Corman's company) to thank for WOtW. Laputa was distributed by Streamline but the dub had already existed for a few years, courtesy of Tokuma. The only Miyazaki movie that Macek personally directed the dub for was Totoro. Surprisingly, it was a decent job, for him. 
Yours,
The Stranger.
Let's set things straight once and for all. Gregory Snegoff wrote the English ADR adaptations and directed them for Streamline Pictures (Macek). Carl, my dear friend, put his name on the credits as Director for some of the films in the beginning because he sat in on the final mix. We eventually agreed that was incorrect and he started taking his name off as director. Carl did not write any of the features by Miyazaki--Snegoff did. 
Also, "the only Miyazaki movie that Macek personally directed the dub for was Totoro" is also incorrect. Snegoff wrote and directed it as well as another Streamline release of the Miyazaki film, Kiki's Delivery Service. He is the writer/director of many of Streamline's successful releases: Wicked City, Crying Freeman, World of the Talisman and many others. He is also the (uncredited) Story Editor of Robotech along with Steve Kramer and is one of the principal directors, writers and voices of Robotech.
Give credit where credit is due. Carl had a terrific overall vision with Robotech and Streamline but the scripts were written by others.
The Horse's Mouth,

message: He was once interviewed on Point of View by Derwood Rowell for the American Channel 11 network. What does this refer to?  If there is a network in the USA called "Channel 11" it is extremely obscure at best and more likely nonexistent.  There are numerous television stations in the USA which can be found at channel 11 on the VHF dial, but they do not form a network.  Google provides no useful information, just copies of this article. --Metropolitan90 03:25, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
: I'll agree, there is no "Channel 11 Network" in the US that I'm aware of, and as you said, Google provides no help there.  With a complete lack of verifiability, I'm removing that line.  If the person who put it in wants to restore it, providing some key details like date, and some info about what the "Channel 11 Network" is would be very nice. --Wingsandsword 07:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. In particular, the term "Macekre" is apparently an attempt to coin a neologism (google only finds copies or rewrites of this article) 168.12.253.82 16:11, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: One reason you might not be able to find this term is that it's spelled different ways. Here are examples from Google Groups that date back a decade ago:
It's interesting how some of these posters a decade ago now work in the anime industry themselves. 69.181.142.130 17:41, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV anyone? 

message: A significant portion of the anime fandom watches exclusively subtitled anime
Is there proof of this anywhere? With the "new wave" of anime fandom thanks to things like Cartoon Network, can we prove that this is still true today?
:: It's not. I edited it to add the modifier "hardcore" because at least that can be supported from empirical evidence (ie. a causual look at r.a.a. archives in the early and mid 90s, and anyone who was in the convention scene). Not everybody who is an anime fan fell  into that category (I sure as hell didn't). The article also mentions how dubs are more widely appreciated today. Kensuke Aida 06:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  How do you describe hardcore? Because I findc the when most people think of hardcore anime fans, they think of . I consider myself a hardcore fan, and I don't care about dub/subs, as long as it's a decent dub. Kalga (talk) 16:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
