People are still arguing about subs vs. dubs when the 70s and 80s had a far superior option (hexbear.net)

Instead of just importing a show and subbing or dubbing it, we should have random American companies buying the licenses to like 5 random seasons from 5 random animes, cutting them into pieces and Frankensteining them into one show with a new dubbed narrative that has nothing to do with the original source material, all with the sole purpose of selling old Japanese toys to American kids

Instead of Naruto and One Piece we could have Pirate Ninja Battleforce where Naruto and Luffy are brothers named Chuck and Bronson. Every once in a while there's a fight scene from Neon Genesis Evangelion spliced in

One of the things that made me realize that intellectual property laws are bullshit was the Kafkaesque legal battle over the rights for the original SDF: Macross between the company that made Robotech and the original Japanese studio. Kotaku has a pretty decent primer here.
