Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
Not from there, but from what I've heard, Sweden is also kinda similar with that. Where it's mainly like, kids movies, that gets dubs in like theaters, whereas most everything else is just subtitled. It's a common thing in all the Scandinavian countries. Although the dubs for kids aren't exclusive ...

Re: Sub elitism is every bit as toxic as the dub equivalent and should be treated with the same scrutiny
I understand your posture and all, but please give the guy some break. I know what he said something twelve years ago was worth of some warning from the mods but it wasn't far from other's opinions about dubs in his country. Besides, it's not like he is the only one who isn't that fond of the FUNima...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
Tian I disagree, I think Adamant hasnt done anything wrong NOW but if he posted that exact same post NOW, I would expect the mods to temp ban him or something at least. That post wasnt acceptable then and it isnt NOW. Sure he toned down the awfulness in the years between but he never really apologi...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
Like how I unashamedly adore the Westwood dub, which is even less faithful than Toonzai/Vortexx Kai as it has less accurate scripts, replacement music, added SFX, an original OP and ED, better actors but with rushed direction. It was what aired in Ireland for the vast majority of the show, but desp...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
I'm not gonna say I expected better from voice actors, (see: literally any drama from the FUNimation side) but I at least thought the original Japanese cast was better than this depravity. Apparently I was a fool to believe that. No matter from what dub they're from, you'll always have some person ...

Re: Do Toei no longer license Z to broadcasters in favour of Kai?
I don't think TOEI has any prejudice against Kai, not internationally at any rate. They've probably realized some territories would prefer to have Z, whereas others will want Kai, and TOEI are probably more than happy they're able to offer both options. I believe that one of the reasons why some br...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
People have been fired/terminated over less. That's true. Let's remember Yamamoto. While what he did wasn't as bad as all the horrible shit Furuya did, it was still bad enough for Toei Animation and Bandai to sever ties with him and remove and replace all his work from Kai, Raging Blast 2 and the r...

Re: Danish - the most unique European dub of Dragon Ball Z
Rock the Dragon is used for the OP despite the dub itself using Kikuchi's score If I recall correctly, our fellow German Kanzenshueer Timo had mentioned that when both RTL II and Andy Knote from ToyCo (a German music company known for recording German version of anime songs) were shown the Arianne ...

So why would we allow someone that raped woman / killed people to get a job? i don't see furuya differrent than any sexual delinquant, i don't see where allowing to keep his work is saying "ok" , jail is the answer to what he did and only "justice" is called for that thing, they...

This is great!
Hopefully they call, at least some of the original cast gets to reprise their roles.

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
Toei and Bandai Namco better recast Yamcha and re-record to remove all of his work on Daima and Sparking Zero. Mostly for Daima, because it'd be really a shame that Toriyama-sensei's last work of Dragon Ball is tainted with this scoundrel's voice work. Part of the original cast or not, this scoundre...

If Ringa Raja had a deal in place for VHS though I guess that rules out a hone release. It's a pity that Slovenes were just 30 minutes away from getting Dragon Ball fully dubbed (including opening and ending) and with a VHS release from Video Art. But well, I guess POP TV had their reasons to not i...

Re: Dragon Ball in Greece and Cyprus
I hope one day the Slovenian voiceover is found, even just to see how much influence the Greek dub may have had, as I find it interesting after the POP TV airings in the late 90s all these dubs further south in the Balkans like the Macedonian, Serbian, Kosovar Albanian and Croatian sub started popp...

They even used the old ID back from 2005-2006. Man, it brought me back some good old memories. Truly a rewind.

Nicktoons, I know its just a sister channel so they are pretty much the same, but Nicktoons is a niche high tier cable channel. So Viacom felt more confident in allowing violence and death there. And it paid off, DBZKai was a huge hit for NIcktoons, kids and adults loved it. That makes sense. Being...
