Yeah, just ask Supaiku Supiigaru.

@Lawful Girly  
Chinese-American, so Revy is more than fine. Changing character names in this day and age is stupid and should not be done in anime.

@M1T3CH  
Damn, she… should consider gaining a bit o’ weight. Looks like she’d only weigh about 20 lbs, with clothes OFF… MAYBE 30.

@icesticker  
Hey, even 4kids got some things right, or do you think the American child audience would appreciate a reference to Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojirou? Furthermore, since she’s Chinese, shouldn’t it be pronounced more like Leibi if you’re going that route?

@Lawful Girly  
Changing character names for an anime. you are entering some 4kids level shit right there. Considering she is Chinese-American either name would work so go with the original cooler sounding one.

@SeraphimDawn  
Who else was waiting for her to turn out to be the villain the first time they watched Rainbow Rocks?

Hm…. Give ‘er more covering pants, and it’s good.

@Blissey1  
Yessssss.

@SeraphimDawn  
Crouching moron hidden badass style?

Sonata is secretly kickass.

@ShimmeringStallion  
Held by dem hips indeed. That’s a tactical gear belt, albeit an older design.

Sonata, do your shorts even HAVE belt loops? How are they being held up? Dem hips?

I’m picturing her smiling at me like that, before trying to murder me.

Sonata 2-Hands. I like this. <3

Me Grim find this funny and at a certain level, adorable.

It’s deadly how cute this is

Love it. :3

Of course. After the first atrocious dub of Nausicaa, they knew what was waiting for them if they messed up…  
 
_{(Note: Not a joke. Ghibli literally sent them a katana as a warning.)}

@Lawful Girly  
It helps that, contractually, Ghibli has to approve the cast for the dubs of their movies.

@Background Pony #497E  
I know, I know, it would just make more sense…  
(Hey, at least we’ve got Cowboy Bebop and Wolf’s Rain–the dub might actually be better than the original in those cases, and in the latter, more than the actual anime… Don’t forget the Disney Studio Ghibli films, either!)

@Lawful Girly  
C’mon, it’s one of the only halfway-decent dubs in existence, don’t try to ruin it!

@Roy-of-Asturia  
Revy is gonna be Pyrrha?
 
That’s pretty sweet.

Ultimately, the seiyuu of Revy should be credited, too, you unilinguist fools
 
 
Megumi Toyoguchi || 豊口 めぐみ  
Currently she is Junko Enoshima from Dangan Ronpa and Pyrrha Nikos from RWBY (J-dub)
 
Never had Black Lagoon dubbed or subbed in Filipino.

She looks pretty darn good in that.
 
Also, randomly: am I the only one who thought that “Revy” should have been changed to “Becky” in the English dub? You lose the alliteration, yeah, but given that the ones giving the nickname first are American and they’re all speaking English, it makes no sense for them to use a Japanese version of the nickname. It even matches the lip-flaps the same way. (And if you think it doesn’t sound as badass, she can still shoot darn near everyone.)

note to self: do not confuses artists riouku and rirouku
