Magic Knight Rayearth OVA (ABS-CBN ver.)

Magic Knight Rayearth is a Japanese manga series created by Clamp.

In the Philippines, the 49-episode length animated series aired in ABS-CBN in 1996. And just like all Japanese anime aired in the country at that period, the series was localized the names of the characters and at the same time translating the opening/ending music to Filipino language for better adaptability and understanding to local audience.

However in 2001, Telesuccess re-dubbed the series with vanilla audio tracks and original character names were used to be aired in GMA-7 the same year. In a bid to counter the airing of the first 5-episode of the animated series, ABS-CBN had broadcast the 3-episode OVA stretched into 5 episodes in the same timeslot as its rival network.

Trivia

 * ABS-CBN re-used the localized names of the main characters of the series inside parentheses; i.e. Hikaru Shidou (Lucy), Umi Ryuuzaki (Marina) and Fuu Hououji (Anemone).
 * The most notable part was in episode 3 aired in Wednesday when a male narrator speaking while being heard of flipping the page of the script, so audible enough that it was overlooked to be removed during the post-processing of the dub.
