User blog:The Testcardiologist/SpongeBob in Hokusei

General

 * SpongeBob and Patrick were voiced by second-tier comedians unlike the IRL Japanese dub where they were voiced by women that made them sound like Japanese highschool students.
 * The idea would be to have voices resembling more the ones in English and other foreign dubs.
 * On the other hand, Timmy Turner sounds like your average Nobita.
 * Plankton gets a standard anime villain's voice, and not the one above.
 * This is what Plankton sounds like IRL
 * Since Nickelodeon Hokusei didn't have its hiatus, the series has more reruns.
 * As a consequence Nick Time on Animax never even existed.

Hokusei
Aside from its usual broadcast on Nickelodeon Hokusei, it also airs on HHK Educational TV. The channel also bought a few other Nickelodeon shows, animated and live-action.

The HHK Educational TV showings don't play the usual end theme, instead they have its own song.

Aside from that, the series was syndicated to free satellite outlet BS Fuchi. The series was formerly shown on HHK's BS2/BS Premium and on the Hokuseiese feed of MTV.

The series was also syndicated to a handful of terrestrial TV stations:
 * ITS
 * TV Aishi
 * TV Hokkaiji
 * NTC
 * Saikyo MX1

Saikyo MX1 has been rerunning the series sequentially since the first season in 2018.

Murakami
Nickelodeon Murakami, as usual.

Terrestrial runs started on AHK around 2001, after that the series moved to SDH starting in season 4.

Oddly enough Murazen (MZH Kids) has sublicensed some of the older seasons from Nickelodeon, yet they used the HHK end credits theme for the series while the regular end credits play over, endcaps included (as opposed to the HHK end screen for the series featuring the show's logo from the intro and the HHK "owari" stamp)

Hokusei

 * The Republics got their toys at Burger King, Hokusei got them at McDonald's
 * HAPPY SET!
