Kanzenshuu

Great answers thus far. I guess you could say that heroism is in the eyes of the beholder. As I said Goku never sets out to be the saviour of all and proclaim himself to be the hope of the universe, as he does in the Z dub, but at the same time he's not an asshole and does mean well even when he's n...

I think the "it didn't happen" is a holdover from the pre-Super era when GT was Dragon Ball's punching bag. And I mean... sure, it didn't happen, these are all fictional stories. I'm no fan of Jordan Peterson but I think he was on to something when he said fictional stories, like those tol...

This might be unpopular and I have accepted that GT simply didn't happen (you can say "in the main timeline" or whatever, but didn't happen) GT didn't happen in Toriyama's timeline, it doesn't make it an invalid story, quite the contrary because Toriyama endorsed it . It was just not his ...

I wouldn't mind a reworking or reimagining of GT's story arcs in a world where the 12 Universes, Beerus, Whis, Zero, etc all exist. It wouldn't be as good without Akihito Tokunaga's score, the Japanese cast at their prime and GT's unique 90s aesthetic but I'd be interested to see the Baby and Evil D...

This was brought up in Non-thread-worthy discussions but I think it's a big enough topic to warrant its own. We've all heard it before Funimation made the naive, battle obsessed manchild who grew up in the sticks a generic Superman clone, TOEI Goku from the old movies is Funimation-lite, but in spit...

I wonder if a Toonami channel would work in the US, like what the UK and Ireland had from 2003 to 2007? I know historically Cartoon Network has liked the perk of royalties that come with their original programming, but does anyone watch the main channel anymore? Might be better at this point to just...

but like someone else said (I believe Dragon Ball Ireland), if Japan is airing Daima on Fuji TV, why not elsewhere too? Yup, Daima will be airing on Fuji TV . I could be wrong but if its coming to traditional TV in Japan I don't know why other territories would be any different. It may premiere exc...

I wish I had a story like that, I hope I'm wrong but I still get the impression the vast majority of Irish people have no clue what Dragon Ball is, and if they do they just vaguely know the brand name. Outside major urban areas like Dublin, Galway and Cork I would be pleasantly shocked if I ever saw...

I guess if we're mentioning Funi Kai recasts then the OP would define the "original" as the original cast of a company's dub, not in the language in general. I was mentioning Harmony Gold and Creative Corp Product actors because they are both English dubs and predate Funimation's dubs of D...

Exactly. I'd say also Roshi being flushed down the toilet should be kept, although problem is the rest of that scene would probably need to be retained to explain that.

I'm okay with the sexual humour being cut, as much as I love original Dragon Ball a lot of it hasn't aged well, particularly the stuff with Roshi. I'm so happy everytime someone gives him a smack, especially a woman like Bulma.

I dunno, I haven't heard anyone believe the Toonzai edit was the default in like 10 years . It definitely was a problem early on in Kai's run but with Toonami running unaltered Kai for a a good decade it seems everyone is up to speed that Kai was not made with Blue Popo and sparkle splosions in min...

Whoa, this is better than I've imagined! Thank you. I think there's one or two countries that had Cartoon Network I'm missing but I figured better to get the thread out now as the sooner it is the sooner people can contribute with info I'm missing. And thanks for the info on Latin America too. I wa...

For me personally, watching Z's dub without the Faulconer score would defeat the purpose, so if Crunchyroll were my only option I'd more likely choose Kai. The Faulconer score isn't available on Crunchyroll afterall. On the other hand, newer fans are less likely to even be aware of its existence, s...

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with something being an acquired taste. I found it weird to begin with, never heard any adult male voiced like that but I wasn't used to Japanese voice acting. Obviously the more I watched the more it grew on me. I do wish western voice acting used women for adult males o...

Kanzenshuu is just becoming more and more of an inclusive community. In its earlier years dubs weren't talked about enough, today you have posters like myself, Tian , TheRed259 , Cure Dragon 255 making up for lost time by creating great threads about the dubs because there's so much to discuss about...

Taking inspiration from Tian 's wonderful thread I thought why not do one for the other iconic kids channel many of us grew up with - Cartoon Network, as well as Adult Swim. I'll always have a soft spot for our own Cartoon Network as it was from 1993 to 2005/6, it all went downhill after that point ...

Not in the Japanese, but there are a few in English: Ian James Corlett was better than Nesty Calvo Ramirez as adult Goku from what I've heard of the latter I preferred Lalainia Lindbjerg to Wendy Lee as Bulma Alistair Abell over Eric Vale as Future Trunks (Westwood eventually caught up with Funimati...

They did air on Nicktoons USA, it probably passed you by since those are not Dragon Ball Shows. I can even show you the promos. Yu Gi Oh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl4Y82jl1XE Ah fair enough, that passed me by so. I do have fond memories of the UK Nickelodeon broadcasts. They used to air Yu-Gi...
