Re: Dragon Ball Z: Level 2.2 (Blu-ray) Cover in HD?
Wow! I wish i had a nice 3D printer or something to get that AWESOME blu ray box. I am still shocked no copies made it out in the wild . I actually pre ordered this on amazon the day it was posted. Very sad day when it was canned. That can't happen because no copies were ever printed. Very unlikely...

How many territories still air original Dragon Ball or have relatively recently?
Original Dragon Ball never gets as much love as Dragon Ball Z or even Kai, although there are a few cases of countries where it either still airs or has aired, say in the last decade or so. Off the top of my head we have: Indonesia : Supposedly a redub started airing on Global TV in 2015 but was can...

Re: Kai is overdue for a new home release
I suppose one could make a push for a version of The Final Chapters that isn't green, but that too might very well be a thing Toei put their foot down on and were like "NO! You will release the EXACT footage we gave you, with no alterations!" much like what apparently happened with Super ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Generally doing anything admirable to protect your loved ones from harm is considered heroic. The reason ascribing the "hero" label to Goku is divisive is because for many fans doing so is vindication Funimation's reversioned Goku whose core purpose is to go out into battle to save his fri...

Re: Cool Promos from places OTHER than Toonami
Fair enough, I guess the Turner channels and blocks do get a bit too much discussion at the expense of other broadcasters. Here's some from the CSC Media era of UK airings: Kai on Kix (2012-2015) The "Serious Power" promo Boxing Day "Sneak Peak" promo : Sadly this one confirmed a...

Re: Kai is overdue for a new home release
I think we all know the biggest hurdle to a new release of Dragon Ball Kai... Crunchyroll can't use the Kenji Yamamoto score, so it's doomed to be inferior to the old Parts for more fans. As Cure Dragon 255 suggested though, there is a way around that, which would be a MASSIVE selling point for a ne...

Re: Cool Promos from places OTHER than Toonami
CNX promos were great like this one where they referred to the short-lived 2002-2003 Cartoon Network UK sister channel as "the only place to catch new episodes of Dragon Ball Z", which was true at the time, or the Freeza saga one, which was quite unique playing the song The Host of Seraphi...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
With this in mind, I wonder if Daima will even air on Toonami/TV when it comes out or streaming. Also, happy to see Cure get some good news about Dragon Ball on TV. It's going to air on Fuji TV so I don't know why not. It would be a new license, sure, but if Toonami strikes while the iron is hot th...

Re: Did the dub of One Piece Episode 590 ever get released physically?
I think it got a standalone DVD in Japan, which would probably be in raw Japanese without even subs.
I know Toonami aired it last year but that was the first time it saw any sort of release in English-speaking territories as I recall it being something of a novelty at the time.

Re: Toonami Rewind airing Dragon Ball Z....Kai?
As I explained in the other thread it's likely because Cartoon Network don't want to have to go through the hassle of relicensing Dragon Ball Z when they still have the license for a competing product like Kai. Traditional TV is also not the lucrative business it once was so broadcasters are not go...

Re: Share your stories about seeing anything Dragon Ball in public
Seeing the series being played in the mall or in barbers sounds great. Sadly I've never seen a case of either, Pop also only seems to be airing Super at 11pm slots on weekends now so can't imagine anyone would want to be playing it in a public space.

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
I think the notion of Funimation being "anti-Ocean" comes more from a small minority of the voice actors getting involved in drama behind the scenes. Even then you have stuff like Sabat casting Drummond as Copy Vegeta, and Scott McNeil being on good terms with the texas guys. Funimation a...

Share your stories about seeing anything Dragon Ball in public
As we're all no doubt aware Dragon Ball is a bona fied global pop cultural phenomenon to the extent many people who are not fans would still be aware of it, maybe even be familiar with it on some level through knowing people who like it. Since I've been a fan for nearly 25 years and will always have...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
To give Funimation credit where its due, as 90sDBZ pointed out before they did refer to it as "the legendary Ocean dub" on the Rock the Dragon boxset. I do completely understand the frustrations from some fans over the confusion the term "Ocean dub" has caused over the years thou...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
I get WHY they can't use the old Canadian dub for Sailor Moon but it is kinda weird to use the ViZ dub as part of a nostalgic throwback block when it's never been on Toonami before. At least Dragon Ball Z Kai did run on Toonami like 10 years ago and actually qualifies as a "rewind" and ha...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
That's neat, the name reminds me of back during its first year on Cartoon Network UK we had 'Dragon Ball Z Rewind' on Saturdays and Sundays where they would repeat the week's episodes for those who missed them, or crazy people like me who wanted to watch them again. Good times

Re: The Latin American Redub of OG Dragon Ball uses Harmony Gold Scripts
My guess is that English to Spanish translators were easy to come across in Latin America and because copies of the Harmony Gold masters were being distributed among syndicates it wasn't hard for Intertrack to get ahold of those materials. It is curious for episodes 6-60 they went a more faithful ro...

I too would like to hear from any Filipino fans who may have recorded any episodes of this dub, or even the Creative Corp Products English dub, which is also almost entirely lost aside from a handful of Z episodes. I could definitely see the conflicting stories about whether Dragon Ball Z episodes 4...

Re: The notion that Dragon Ball didn't catch on with the Harmony Gold dub
Independent television was really interesting back then though. There was a very small independent station where I grew up. Never had a schedule, I'd see it in the newspaper TV listings and it would just say "Local Programming". It might be sitcom reruns, might be a church broadcast, it m...
