Tell that to dragon ball that has 7-8 different English Dubs. (Harmony Gold, Blue Water, Ocean, Funimation, Animax, Saban, Filipino, Singapore?)

Close, except Saban didn't do a dub (they hired Ocean), and Singapore I believe didn't dub anything (it was in the Philippines).

But yeah, it's certainly a record setter in the amount of times its been dubbed. They beat that horse in many different ways.

Sailor Moon? A pipe dream of yours that will never come true. Naoko Tacheuki strictly doesn't want anyone to touch it.

That may change one day, especially with the new series starting next year. The series also did get a revival on TV in a number of countries over the last 2 years, unfortunately none of them were English native. But hey, you never know right?

Samurai Pizza Cats? Where do u get that idea that its a pipe dream?

That was my error, I completely forgot that it got licensed recently (finally). But you get the gist of what Sly was talking about.

What about any company broadcasting?

It would be put into the contract which countries and networks could broadcast it.
But as Sly said, Animax only signed off for South East Asia broadcast territories, so outside of those, no go.

What about Sony themselves using it again (DVD, etc.)?

Still counts as video distribution, so Sony would have to re-do the contracts just like Madman would have to.

Also, both Cartoon Network India and Animax had the rights to Cardcaptor at the same time? I think? How come CN India aired Nelvana Dub instead of Animax Dub?

Likely because CN in America chose to use the Nelvana Dub (as it was the only one around at the time), so it was already paid for, edited, and ready to be shown on their networks elsewhere without drama.

Why? It's their own dub, they can do whatever they want with it.

Then explain, why Crackle.com was able to get streaming rights to Humanoid Monster Bem (Animax Dub), LaMB (Animax Dub), and Nodame Cantabile (Animax Dub???)?

I can list all voice actors. Madman can try contacting Animax and ask them which voice actors did what?

Not exactly. Each actor would have been told on their contract where their voices will be used. Any use outside of those territories/media is a breach of their contract, hence why they'd need a new one regardless.

It's sort of like me selling a song to Sony, and the contract says it will only be played in Australia. Only to find it being used in movies and on US charts. Not only is a breach of contract, but had they put that on the contract, you think I would have asked for more?

Could easily be that Animax have amended their newer contracts to allow for this.
Streaming has only taken off in the last few years. It was barely a pipe dream when they did CCS.

Why? It really should be Animax doing the legwork if they want their dub to be shown elsewhere. It was their narrow minded contracts that created this issue in the first place.

Crackle never aired CCS Animax Dub. Crackle said they don't want to air CCS because the show is about 4th grade girls.

I don't think Animax knows what they hell is going on. They shove their brains where the sun don't shine and do whatever they want and just want money. I think at this point, Animax will do ANYTHING for money.

I'm sorry for being overobsessed over this. It's just that its the only thing i like. Do u know any similar shows like this that has a decent dub?
I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Right, and their current line-up is totally macho in comparison... >_>

They're a broadcaster. They're job is to constantly bring in new content for people to watch. Just because they don't listen to you and put CCS back on, doesn't mean you have to be so moody to them. Hell, I wouldn't want to listen to you either if you threatened to sue me because I didn't follow your wishes.

Dude, you're allowed to be obsessed, we all have things we like more than anything else (for me it's probably Stellvia, and most people thought it was crummy).
But seriously, you start crossing the line when your antics turn to threatening posts and demanding phone calls.
Go outside, get some fresh air, and realise that there's a lot more to life than the dub of an anime.
If you still truly believe in having it released, ask around to see what it would take to do it yourself. Maybe by asking around enough and showing your commitment, you might just attract someone important to help you get your wish.
But please refrain from being moody and making threats. That will get you no where as you have already found out.

As for similar shows, look into Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. That from what I hear is eerily similar. Maybe even, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. It's also done by Clamp and feature much of the same cast as CCS, but in a different setting.
