If they replaced the japanese background music of the end battle blade vs. saber with some hardcore rock music it would have made it more badass. english dub with japanese music just doesn't work for me.... maybe the intro theme music would've been more suitable.
I have watched the original Japanese version. I find that most of the background music has been changed except the final fight between Saber (Tekkaman Evil) and Blade, the music is called "Masquerade". And I discover that even their roarings "Aha..." when they are changing into Super Taknoman mode are conserved. It sounds quite similar to the American version.
I really have hard time believing that this Teknoman Saber is none other than the fattest Mighty Morphin Power Ranger actor who is best known as "BULK".
Man! He voiced this guy SOOO MALEVOLENTLY! Got to love his performance.
This is not the real final battle... This is only half way through the series. The real show was Tekkaman Blade. It had 50 episodes and was a lot more in depth than the America series "Teknoman." UPN screwed up the series terribly.
158,770 views! I'm so glad I'm not the only people who remembers this from the mid 90's - none of my friends know what Im talking about when i mention this show
yes I know but it did extremely well and no show in its genre could compete so they cooked this show up. HEH to bad it didn't work vol tron steamrolled this show just like the rest
OMG, i missed the last episode of this awesome series when i was a child cuz i had school early that day, and now ive found it again after 13 years later :' ), YOUTUBE FTW!
@Soukyugurentai In actuality this show is older than that it was originally intended to take back the ratings that voltron was stealing wen it was new
As much as I normally enjoy the inclusion of the original Japanese music (or at the very least, an "Americanized" English variant) in English-dubbed anime, the use of "Masquerade" here is an exception. I quite like the song on its own merits, but I'm rather ticked that it's so loud as to drown out the dialogue of the characters.
@ImpulseKid86 hey do u know which version doesnt have that song? ive seen a version on tv that didnt and it was much better. i bought the series on dvd and it has the goofy song rather then the epic music that worked better
@oakfire12 I beleive that the International English Dub is used for the DVD release, since Australia managed to air the entire series before it came to the US.
There are many versions of this series: the US version, UK version, Liquid Anime version, original Japanese version etc. The Japanese version will give it to ya in full, all be it in Japanese. You want it in english, whether it's dubbed or subbed, you'll get the edited version. The Liquid Anime version does a nice edit between the two.
Ok someone has gotta help me.I used to watched this as a kid, I loved the last episode. I bought this series on DVD and finished last night, the last episode was different, the freaken stupid japanese song over the battle was never in the version I used to watch. WTF where can I find the other version
@GetterRay The english voice actor for Blade is Power Rangers' Bulk? Your not the only one who's mind is blown. XD Great now I can't stop thinking about Bulk in that Tekkaman Evil (or Teknoman Saber) armor fucking up both the rangers and Rita Repulsa at the same time! XD
I love how the dub voices fail to cover up the original seiyuu yells during Blasterization, and that, unlike the rest of the Blade soundtrack, the Teknoman guys decided to leave MASQUERADE alone. Hahahahahah, one of the best anime ever gets such a hillaribad dub.
if you ever see the origional and compare it to the dub on the fight scenes the screaming during the transformations is still from the japanese version
the only thing that ALWAYS annoyed me in this show was the whole "HIYAAA! HAAAAY! HUYA HUYAA!!" stuff.. its the same thing that made the power rangers annoying. but that aside...this show kicked ass <3
most anime fans love those songs m8 :-) so do i...and indeed teknoman was cool a cool anime.i love anime's who are like 1 big long movie!...makes you hunger for more in the end and TBH...this english version is great if you compare it to others like DBZ usa...
teknoman was and still remains one of the best mecha based anime from start to finish. I remember watching this series it was mad back then and still is now
"I don't get it Star, how my brother get lucky enough to have a woman like you looking after him......as brave as you are beautiful. Tell me, what is it about him that captures your heart? Why him Star? Why not... me? Everything Blade can offer I can offer too and much much more...." Hahaha... smooth Cane, very smooth! :D Love his voice!
Oh wow, the melodrama honestly made me lol so hard. Just, god, it's so bad! And there are no pauses, like there's chunks of time cut out.
And are those a bunch of people on the ground just watching on a big friggin T.V.? What is this the W.W.E.? They sure got enough fake drama. And who the hell would be filming them fighting anyways? They're flying around and shooting up into space, how would a camera man track that?
First off its assumed they were seeing something like a live News clip.
Secondly genius, if you had seen the rest of the series you would have seen that blade and sabre have already had dozens of battles with all sorts of mix-up endings.
This wasn't so much a battle as it was a scene of finality and conclusion.
Go back to your gay ass Gundam where little kids save the day.
Actually the day is rarely saved by anyone in gundam, at least it didn't used to be. Before the days were less saved and more simply ended because most everyone had been killed.
Of course that's more of an opinion than a fact, but gundam tends to lean towards pessimism. In fact the only ones I've seen that had definitive save-the-day moments were the SEEDs and Wing. And everyone knows Gundam Wing is for girls and SEED is for gays.
In Gundam Wing they have a similar giant projector scene where Zechs and Hiro are fighting which was completely stolen from this. In fact its way more drawn out and cheezy stupid in comparison.
Gundam is just mechs running around with light sabres and shields that look like transformers. I mean WTF is the logic behind a shield when it's made out of the same metal as the mech?
Basically it's the kiddie version of robotech where the mech design actually looks somewhat plausible.
That was more of a throw back from the original, where the explaination is cost. You put thicker materials on the shield so you don't have to armor the mech as much.
It's somewhat stupid in Wing for the reason that every gundam is a one of, so production costs don't factor in beyond the one suit.
Have you ever seen 08th MS Team? Most realistic gundam series. There's only one ace pilot in the whole show and he's one of the bad guys.
Not sure if it has anything to do with their plus forms, since Blade's is kinda green to, or just bad coloring. I make myself feel better thinking it's the former :)
y is it in some english dubbs they call him slad and in others its blade i know the japanes one they call him blad but the english ones im not sure is it blade or slade ?
The dub names sure were silly (lol Ringo and Star, genius), though changing Evil's name to Saber was a good idea - I mean c'mon, Evil? Might as well give him a top hat and a monocle.
But yeah, despite the names and some corny dialogue the Teknoman dub was alright.
When I first seen all of them on here it was great. The scenes from 15-27 was never shown in US version of the show. And I never really saw the last epi's until this year. Its cool.
