Re: Dragon Ball Kai to air in Poland in April

The original three Dragon Ball series never had Polish dubs, only lektors. Prior to Super Dragon Ball Z movies 12 and 13 were dubbed, but that's it, from what I've heard. Marcin Doroziński was asked in an interview if RTL7 would consider dubbed airings, but he just said "No" without explan...

Re: Would a spin-off manga or anime about Yamcha be good?

Aside from Dragon Garow Lee's That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha ? Sure, anything can be good with the right approach and execution. Prior to the Future Trunks arc and first Super movie everyone laughed at the idea of a story with an evil Goku or anything else featuring Broly and dismissed them ...

Re: The notion that Dragon Ball didn't catch on with the Harmony Gold dub

I think the closest to someone being introduced to Dragon Ball via Harmony Gold, was a member here getting told "Oh Dragon Ball I watched that when I was little" and the member thinking the guy just had Mandela Syndrome but that it was likely the guy saw the Harmony Gold broadcast because...

The notion that Dragon Ball didn't catch on with the Harmony Gold dub

On one hand fans who claim this (of which there are many) are not wrong, but on the other could any show have done better in Dragon Ball's circumstances? Animerica Vol. 8, Issue 7 seems to think the show was not well liked: "It seems that Harmony Gold owned the distribution rights rights to Dra...

Re: The CW/4Kids Broadcasts of Kai on Toonzai and Vortexx

It's also something I've wondered, why didn't Nicktoons air episode 98 even though Funimation made an edited version of it? They did , just over a year after they aired episode 97 and with GT airing in between. I guess because History of Trunks was airing the same day Nicktoons thought it was the p...

Re: Did Fuji TV air the original Dragon Ball anime completely uncensored?

That is actually a good point that I didn't think about. It reminds me of something we learned about the Ocean dub of Kai from recent Anime Time Machine livestreams, which is that the director Karl Willems had some disagreements with the producers (who in Ocean Studio's case would probably be Diana ...

Re: Did Fuji TV air the original Dragon Ball anime completely uncensored?

On contrary, is there any anime that was censored on original broadcast? I'm not talking about director's/extended cut on home video, which is separate topic. If there are we probably wouldn't know about them. Director's cuts are by definition the intended vision of any given product, so any conten...

Re: English Actors that were cast post...a certain timeframe.

Funimation's casting choices from Kai onwards have been infinitely better than their 1998-2005 castings. Obviously the problem with the latter was always the fact Funimation were not making casting decisions based on the character's essential traits but they were just looking for people with little ...

Re: Favourite screams from various dubs

Dragonball Evolution was bad but its far from the worst thing ever. Dirty Grandpa makes it look like a masterpiece :lol: Got to agree the movie was a blessing in disguise for this franchise even just to have Toriyama return to writing Dragon Ball. I'm also glad for the dubs Tian got from Evolution .

Re: Favourite screams from various dubs

I feel James Masters was one of the best things to happen to the franchise, It's really hard not to like his performance in super. I wonder if he would have been cast if Evolution wasn't made? I know James Marsters is apparently a huge fan (and I believe there's a reference in Buffy?) but him needi...

Re: The CW/4Kids Broadcasts of Kai on Toonzai and Vortexx

Pretty weird they didn't give them the clean masters (without the logo) just as the rest of the world who got the Nicktoons version. Supposedly it wasn't an uncommon thing for Kix, same happened for Digimon which they aired with the Jetix logo from what 90sDBZ has said. I don't recall ever seeing t...

Thanks, just trying to document as much as I can from these broadcasts as there doesn't seem to be anywhere people can find it all in one place. Having done another browse through old forums it appears Vortexx aired the final TV episode of Kai on November 2, 2013, which was 97 with 98 obviously on t...

Re: Favourite screams from various dubs

Also say what you will about Sean Schemmel but even in the original Z dub his screams were insane. This is from Kai. The one who made the video just put Bruce Faulconer's music over that scene. Damn should have double checked, still don't get why people feel the Faulconer Productions score was need...

Re: Little known facts about your broadcast

This makes no sense to me because Cartoon Network UK has been airing the Westwood dub of DBZ at the time and there is no way they would air something like this. From what I can tell, they just aired a VHS recording of the episode that aired on either the International Channel or Nippon Golden Netwo...
