They're pretty good dubs. I haven't watched Part II thoroughly yet (don't want to ruin the memories), so I don't know if it was edited or not. Wouldn't it just be classic Hollywood if they left in poor Captain Kangaroo being ripped to shreds, but cut out the sex scenes?
I wish we could lay hands on DVD copies of those wonderful old Australian dubs from the eighties of Macross '84, Megazone Part II and My Youth in Arcadia. Megazone and Youth, in particular are amazingly well done. I compared the dub of Arcadia to the best regarded fansub script, and the differences were negligible- the kind of things you'd expect when two different people translate the the same script well- different, but equally plausible.
As for Megazone, who can forget, "Who? Who's that you say? Johnny... Winters? So sorry. I don't know the guy!" What a delightful smart-ass!
