Conan O’Brien Takes a Trip to Bang Zoom Entertainment

MAAAAAANNNGGGGGAAAAAA!!!!!



First we have a Halo anime, now we have Conan O’Brien taking a trip down to dubbing studio Bang Zoom Entertainment, what’s next a Gurren Lagann football team? The reason behind this unexpected visit is because the people over at The Tonight Show have figured out that the Bang Zoom studio is actually not far away from their own studio, so why not show up and have a party? That’s the story they are giving all of us, but I have my own theory. Conan O’Brien is actually an undercover otaku!

So Conan and his partner Andy go to the studio, and are promptly given a tour, a super special fanservice tour. After getting all heated up they then work on the original Ghost in the Shell dub. Funny that in this brief time they had recording these lines, they both are already better than Vic Mignogna. But I wonder why Manga is working on the Ghost in the Shell dub in the first place? Also, Steve Sargent of Manga Entertainment gave the worst elevator pitch of Ghost in the Shell I’ve ever heard. All you have to say is that it is a philosophical cop movie in the future with giant spider robots, and naked androids.

I am pleased with their preformance in the world of dubbing. But you can’t stop here Conan, I will now expect to hear your beautiful voice in Soul Eater when you play Excalibur.

Hahahhahaha!!! Ahhh jeez.... it definitely isn't going to help the general opinion about anime being all about tits and tentacles, but it was funny nonetheless!

I would pay for a special Conan & Andy dubbed edition of GITS.

@HeeroYuy: Yeah, I know. I already get enough flak at school as it is, this will just make things worse. But you're right, it WAS funny.

@SteepInKline: Seriously though, I had never heard of bobble-boobs before.... leave it to a show like Ikki Tousen or Tenjho Tenge...

Haha funny stuff indeed.

I heard about it and turned the TV on just in time. It was great, and I would totally buy a new copy of GitS if it had these clips in the bonus features.

Hear that, Manga Entertainment? Time to get to work.

Voice acting should be old hat to Andy Richter.  He played Mort from Madagascar.

Thank God it was Conan and Andy, and not Triumph the Insult Comic Dog...

It's amazing that even the staff of the company that is dubbing Ghost in the Shell misunderstands the nature of full body cyborgs.  I don't know how many times I've had to explain to people that the title "Ghost in the Shell" is just figurative, and that full body cyborgs are actually real human brains encased in prosthetic bodies.

Anyone else slightly insulted?
