Jman Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) For those of you who have no idea what the hell I’m talking about, Super Robot Wars is a long running series of strategy games in which the representatives of various giant robot anime team up against villains from their own shows and original content. Oftentimes, the writers are credited with making far better stories out of the licensed anime, such as their takes on Fafner and SEED being considered near unanimously better than the actual anime’s. Anyway, the new one, Super Robot Wars T, was just announced, and among the odd announcements is the inclusion of Cowboy Bebop (alongside Magic Knight Rayearth and Captain Harlock as well). The games are unfortunately a licensing nightmare to release locally but they do have English translations on the disc. This also marks the first new Bebop content in possibly decades. But if you don’t mind importing, this may be the only franchise on the planet where you can see Spike team up with Captain Harlock and the cast of Mobile Suit Gundam.

OwlChemist81 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 But Cowboy Bebop isn't even a "super robot" anime. Hell, most of Gundam is "real robot". This makes so little sense it's not even funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes so little sense it's not even funny! Generally speaking, real and super robots team up in these franchises without hassle (they’re separated into two categories with each having different strengths and weaknesses), but since Yamato 2199 showed up in V, a lot of non-mecha ships have made appearances, like freaking Nadia in Super Robot Wars X. Look, do you want Spike back or not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) It’s apparently rumored that they’re going to AGAIN try to make this version in the US (the last two attempts, each a decade apart were foiled by a company saying no). I’m sure that if they could dub this DeMarco would fund it out of his own pocket to bring the Bebop crew back together. Anyone want to ask his take on it? Edit - English trailer. Just subs so far, no evidence of a dub. Edited November 20, 2018 by Jman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It'd be better than a second Bebop anime, so he'd better go for it if he's really as interested as we expect him to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just subs so far, no evidence of a dub. I think if someone would foot the bill for a union dub recorded at NYAV Post’s LA studio they could get a lot of the original dub actors back for these. The major rub is Canadian actors though some have moved to California. If it’s non-union you won’t be hearing Blum back as Spike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
