Viral SpongeBob SquarePants Anime Teases Surprising English Dub

SpongeBob Squarepants' viral anime openings not only have graduated to a full episode, but now is teasing a surprisingly great English dub release is on the way! If you have been on Twitter for the last few years, there is a chance that you may have seen animator NARMAK's anime interpretations of the famous Nickelodeon animated series in the past. Not only making a major viral hit with one anime styled opening, but several different ones that teased fun new interpretations of the fan favorite animated series. The latest release of the first full episode of this series has gone viral in just the same fashion too.

Fans have already heaped tons of praise on the first full entry in the fan-made SpongeBob SquarePants anime, there is bound to be even more praise coming its way with the upcoming release of the series' English dub. NARMAK took to social media to share a new trailer for the viral series to tease much of the English dubbing work that these crafty fans and artists have put together. And it's just as surprisingly great as the anime take on the series is!

With talented individuals that do their best to match the original voice cast (with a cast list NARMAK shared on Twitter here), it's so splendidly put together that the full release of the dub is bound to be an excellent one. Unfortunately there's no date for the upcoming dub just yet (or whether or not this is just a hilarious bit on top of several other hilarious bit), but fans might want to keep an eye out to see what this team can surprise us with yet!

Update (2/26) - NARMAK has revealed that, after he releases the End dub soon, he also plans to provide the episode without any voice work for dubbers to have fun with!:

For everyone emailing me, DMing, and more about making your own dub of the spongebob anime:

After I release the End dub soon, I plan to provide the episode without any voice work for dubbers to have fun with. Please be patient (and give full credits)!

Although this was a genuinely fun premise at first, now that there's a full episode out there, SpongeBob SquarePants makes for a pretty good anime series. It's already got fights and wacky character designs, it turns out all it needed was that final push from a talented group. As for the official series, SpongeBob's third film outing, Sponge on the Run, is currently getting ready for a digital release, including on CBS All Access in the U.S. and Netflix internationally. Lucky Canadians will also have the chance to watch the movie in theatres this August.

What did you think of the first full outing for this "SpongeBob SquarePants anime"? Did you watch through the several cool anime openings this artist has crafted in the past? Would you watch a full officially made anime series? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Carlos Alazraqui Working on New Nickelodeon Project with 'Reno 911!' Co-Star

Actor and voice actor Carlos Alazraqui, who has voiced many iconic characters in beloved series such as Rocko’s Modern Life (opposite Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants), CatDog, The Loud House, The Fairly OddParents, Camp Lazlo! and Family Guy has revealed in an interview with the New York Post that he is currently working on a top-secret Nickelodeon project!

"I’m excited about a new Nickelodeon project but I can’t talk about it — though I can intimate that I’m working with a fellow Reno 911! castmate," Alazraqui revealed to the New York Post!

Alazraqui can currently be heard on Nickelodeon's The Loud House and its spinoff, The Casagrandes (he plays Carlos, Vito and Sergio on both shows), and has a major role in next year’s SpongeBob SquarePants prequel, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years.

In addition to voice acting, Alazraqui can be seen in the live-action series Reno 911!, and is currently shopping his self-financed movie, Witness Infection, a horror-comedy starring Erinn Hayes (Medical Police). The actor also appeared in Nickelodeon's Taina and Drake & Josh.

Alazraqui, 58, whose parents were born in Argentina, spoke to The Post about his long voiceover/acting career — including voicing the Taco Bell Chihuahua from 1997-2000.

“The Casagrandes” / Nickelodeon

What are you working on right now?

I’m doing Kamp Koral, The Casagrandes — I just did four episodes last week and one this week — and The Loud House, and Maya and the Three, which will be on Netflix next year. I’m doing a few more episodes of American Dad and Family Guy, mostly utility roles, and I’m working on Curious George for PBS. I play Mr. Zoobel.

You’re known mostly for your voiceovers. Would you like to do more on-camera work?

I think it’s relative from week-to-week. There at times when I feel, “Do I really want to do on-camera chases and be a super-celebrity and get recognized everywhere?” But it’s pretty cool when you do a red-carpet [premiere]. We did the Reno 911! premiere on Hollywood Boulevard walking down the red carpet at Mann’s Chinese Theater and it was pretty awesome. You love that attention. The biggest reason to do on-camera work, though, is … you’re more apt to get some better jobs. It’s just a fact. So, yeah, I would like to be on-camera little bit more.

Is there any chance for a revival of Rocko’s Modern Life?

Outside of “Status Cling,” the 2019 Rocko special which came out on Netflix, I’m not sure. There’s always been a demand [for a reboot] and we would love to do it again. People also revere Camp Lazlo and even CatDog. You never know what’s going to hit or be iconoclastic.

Do you do voices for your daughters (ages 9 and 6)?

My older daughter is also in voiceovers for Nickelodeon. She’s got the bug. My younger daughter loves me to read Dogman and Captain Underpants. I read those over and over again and do all the voices for her. You either have the voiceover gene or you don’t. I watched a lot of cartoons on TV growing up and got the vibe. I just wanted to imitate everybody. My brother is pretty good but he didn’t get the bug.

In looking back, how do you feel about playing the Taco Bell Chihuahua?

I don’t have regrets. I remember doing an ABC special and showing the poster at my old campus, Sacramento State, this is right after Columbine [in 2000], and student board members holding up a sign with the Chihuahua and Xs in it saying, “Kill the Chihuahua!” Other Latinos were going, “Forget about those people, we love the Chihuahua!” The League of United Latino Citizens was calling my house. As I look back, this wasn’t [adopts a heavy Mexican accent] “The Frito Bandito and I’m stealing your chips!” This was a dog that was really cool, with a voice that was not stereotypical … and it was not the biggest part of [the ad] campaign ending. [Taco Bell] had a lawsuit with a Michigan ad agency, which they lost. I never felt that it was offensive. As Tom Kenny said, “Nobody ever said that Count Chocula is offensive to all Romanians.” We now try honor more Latino roles with Latino actors. Right now I’m on a Filipino show, Trese … and I’m working with Filipino dialect coaches to make sure I’m doing it correctly.

Dax Shepard Welcomes You to the PAW Patrol Years! | PAW Patrol Official & Friends

Dax Shepard is here to welcome you to the PAW Patrol Years, a club his kids just decided he was in!

Spin Master‘s PAW Patrol is currently in its seventh season on Nickelodeon, and when a new generation of kids discovers the series every few years, a new generation of parents does as well.

Since its debut in 2013, millions of parents have entered the world of Adventure Bay alongside their kids, and now, TV’s Dax Shepard is here to welcome a whole new generation of adults to The PAW Patrol Years. To help those unfamiliar with the show and its toys, Shepard explains it as being about “an emancipated minor who hangs out with some talking dogs and together they put out fires, rescue chickens, and do other cool stuff.”

The new campaign was filmed during quarantine and shot entirely on an iPhone with Spin Master’s creative team guiding the effort virtually.

In the series of comedic videos, Dax shares hilarious warnings, tongue in cheek references, sage advice and product reviews in 15, 60 and 90 second clips for a fall targeted social campaign, which will roll out socially across Shepard and Spin Master’s social channels.

PAW Patrol Releases Relatable Social Campaign Featuring Dax Shepard

Do your kids watch PAW Patrol? Any parent of a preschooler can tell you that there is time when their kid has become totally obsessed with something, more often than not, a popular television show like PAW patrol. Keira Knightley called it ‘toddler crack’ and Ryan Reynolds threatened to sell his kids after an 11 episode binge.

Armed with the knowledge that preschoolers are totally PAW-obsessed, and parents are along for the ride whether they like it or not, Spin Master, the creators of PAW Patrol, enlisted the help of honorary PAW Patrol club member Dax Shepard to welcome parents to The PAW Patrol Years. Currently in the thick of it with two children in The PAW Patrol Years, Dax is hopeful it is just a phase. PAW Patrol, as he describes it, is a show about ‘an emancipated minor who hangs out with some talking dogs and together they put out fires, rescue chickens and do other cool stuff’.

Filmed while under quarantine and shot entirely on an iPhone in Dax’s home with Spin Master’s creative team joining virtually, he shares a series of hilarious warnings, tongue in cheek references, sage advice and product reviews in 15, 60 and 90 second clips for a fall targeted social campaign.

Created by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nickelodeon, PAW Patrol, is currently in its 7th season. The powerhouse franchise is heading to the big screen with an animated feature film slated for theatres in August 2021 (a Spin Master Entertainment production in association with Nickelodeon Movies, distributed by Paramount Pictures).
