First availability of Animax Asia (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2004)'s controversial English dub (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98) in United States
Not-So-Daily Link of the Day: The Crackle video-streaming website has posted (http://crackle.com/c/Samurai_X) almost the entire series of the Rurouni Kenshin (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=73) television anime series — as it was dubbed in English under the name Samurai X by Animax Asia (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2004) — this month. This is the first time that this particular English dub (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98) has been available officially in the United States, although Sony Pictures Entertainment (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1374) attempted (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/1999-02-08/sony-speaks-about-ruroni-kenshin-plans) to license this dub to American distributors a decade ago. A separate dub (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/1999-10-13/awa-99-wrap-ups) by Media Blasters (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=7) ran (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2003-03-03/toonami-to-receive-facelift) on the Cartoon Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=704) in 2003.
This Samurai X television anime dub is unrelated to the dub on the later ADV Films (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2) releases (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2000-11-29/upcoming-adv-releases) of the Samurai X: The Motion Picture (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=217) and the two Samurai X video series, despite sharing the same name.
