Heidi (Basque)

This dub is based on the original Japanese version, and European Spanish version, which is very faithful to the original Japanese version. It's one of the four dubs of the series produced in Spain.

The series has recently been broadcast by Euskal Irrati Telebista (EITB), the regional Basque public broadcaster. The series is very popular in the Basque Country, as it has also been in the rest of Spain.

Broadcast
The series debuted on the main channel, EITB 1 (which broadcasts in Basque language) on an unknown date. Said channel specializes in broadcasting cartoons with Basque dub, several of them being anime series. In 2016, the series would return along with other classic programs to the EITB 3 channel (children's and youth channel, which broadcasts in Basque language, also), airing in the afternoons. Currently, it isn't broadcast on television, but the dub is easy to find complete on the Internet.

Trivia

 * Despite its popularity, finding information about this dub on the Internet is a difficult task. Heidi was one of the first animes dubbed into the Basque language, in the 80s, at a time when Basque dubbing was taking its first steps. The dubbed was produced by order of EITB, the same regional statal company that was starting at that time.
 * The Basque language is not related to other regional languages of Spain, such as Castilian itself, or others such as Catalan and Galician. Because of this, it is difficult for basque dubs to be entirely based on the spanish version, so this dub uses both the japanese and spanish versions as script sources.
 * Basque dub does not use the Japanese soundtrack, but rather uses its own soundtrack which, however, is exactly the same as the original, but with different instruments. It was a common practice in the first basque dubs.
 * In 2015, EITB used German master tapes, which appeared with their titles written in German, and were translated into Basque by a voiceover. In its original broadcast in the 80s, both the credits and the titles were completely translated into Basque.
