Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

TotallyNotMark's videos are very informative. Seems to me he's read Syd Field's 1979 book Screenplay, which I've seen him once reference in one of his videos.

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

Thank you so much. So about the Nippon Ijin Taisho 2007 Special, so apparently, the masters of the unreleased cues still exist, based on the alternate "The Training Begins" being used twice? That's what it seems like to me. And I recently theorized that "PK-Powered Ropes" may hav...

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

I suggest reaching him on Twitter. He stopped posting here. https://twitter.com/kenisu3000 I wish I knew what it was. His site could sure use an update. Especially to add that "Gregory Throws The Kame Gang For A Loop" and "Love at Second Sight" were unused cues from DB Movie 2 an...

Re: What 3 wishes would you make with the Dragon Ball?

Upon closer evaluation of my choices, maybe I should replace #2 with "Make COVID-19 non-existent", and #3 with "End All Wars".

Re: The reason for "Gregory Throws The Kame Gang for a Loop" being a DB Movie 2 track

I love these mysteries, too. I wish they were solved one day. Another track with similarities to one of the movies is "Love at Second Sight". I never thought it would be a Mystical Adventure track, until I heard "Mifan Raids the Holy Land of Karin", and heard the similar notes, s...

Re: Not counting the Path to Power Movie...

It was an estimated guess, based on how they continued to use his older cues well into the end of the show's run, and some cues, they didn't get around to using until that time. I don't think he did just eleven for the show after the movie was released. Didn't Kikuchi compose 100 or so tracks in his...

Re: Overrated and Underrated voice actors

Sean Schemmel is one. His Goku makes me cringe at times. Ian James Corlett was perfect. Shame the pay issues got in the way. Peter Kelamis was fine, but Corlett was the best.

I'd say the Ocean dub actors are quite underrated.

1. Restore everything and everyone the way it and they were before COVID-19 hit.

2. End all wars.

3. Solve the Homeless crisis.

Re: Remastered dub is beyond unwatchable to me

The Main series theme got "replaced" because in reality, it's actually shorter than the Opening Animation. In the original Z Dub, Funimation shortened the intro by 45 seconds, thus the Faulconer intro theme is only 1 minute compared to the 1:45 length of both animations. They *could* have...

Re: Remastered dub is beyond unwatchable to me

Vegetto95, if I ever do create a collection of English versions with the 1996-2003 run, I think I'll try to see if I can make it a hybrid (i.e. restoring NEPs). The DVDs/VHSs are missing recaps/previews in many spots. Getting every volume on eBay is a Herculean task. And I never really quite got why...

Re: Remastered dub is beyond unwatchable to me

Vegetto95, to answer your question (sorry, I didn't fully read your post until now), I guess you could say a little bit of both. Plus, I don't like that they replaced the 1999-2003 Team Faulconer opening theme with the movie theme. The movie theme is generic as hell. Even though the Kikuchi BGM rema...

Remastered dub is beyond unwatchable to me

And I don't mean just the cropping and DNR. There are other factors, too. For whatever reason (whether it's incompetence, or Funimation felt like pissing off fans for shits and giggles), they made some line flubs (i.e. King Kai suddenly talking about Planet Vegeta in episode 36, when he was supposed...

Toriyama's daughter Wedding crashing

I get it it's none of my business, or anybody else's for that matter, but over on Twitter, I saw a few people stating that the Japanese media crashing his daughter's wedding is supposedly the reason why we haven't heard much from him publicly since that day. All I can say, is that I guess that makes...

Not counting the Path to Power Movie...

...GT only had 90-something music cues at Akihito Tokunaga's disposal. About a dozen of cues, they didn't get around to using until towards the end of the run. That means Tokunaga only did two recording sessions for the show.

Re: Original broadcast recordings?

In this video from AnimeAjay, at 7:53, he says that "the Japanese side went totally quiet". What's he talking about? That someone has every recording from close by the Tokyo Tower, but won't share? Hence, the Tokai and Ishikawa recordings for some episodes instead? https://www.youtube.com/...
