The question mark is in the title because I'm not sure if these things actually happened.
What we know exists:
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Animax - partially found, will never be officially re-released)
SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors (OKTO / CN Asia - Officially released on YouTube)
Mobile Suit Gundam Age (OKTO / CN Asia - Pending official DVD/BD release in North America)
Gundam Build Fighters (OKTO / CN Asia - Offically released on YouTube and DVD/BD in North America)
Gundam Build Fighters Try (OKTO /CN Asia - Officially released on YouTube and DVD/BD in North America)
The above were all recorded in Hong Kong.
What I'm shaky on:
Mobile Suit Gundam (Animax)
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Animax)
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Kids Central / CN Asia)
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny (Kids Central / CN Asia)
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Arts Central / CN Asia)
All five of these have English dubs that were recorded in Canada and released in the west. However, with Asia being Asia, I'm wondering if there may have been alternate versions.
Animax Asia ran 79 in November 2004 and Zeta debuted in early 2005. By then, Bandai had already released the original on DVD bilingually in North America, but Zeta's launch didn't happen until October 2005. Was Animax Asia given first dibs on the Canadian dub? Did they produce their own dub? It's hard to tell if ZZ's indicative of how Animax aired the franchise because there wasn't a North American production.
The newer batch is also a mystery. SEED aired in Asia in 2004, shortly after the Canadian dub debuted on TV in the US. Destiny followed in October 2005, which was well before the first US DVD release in early 2006. 00 started in November 2008, which was around the time the series began airing on Syfy in the US. Same dubs, or did Asia get their own?
Truthfully, these are just the shows I've stumbled upon while looking for other things. There's certainly the chance that other Gundam shows have Asian dubs that've slipped through the cracks, or maybe even multiple dubs.
