There are plenty of artists out there who think updated versions of their work are automatically better just because they say they are. Whether or not the cast had difficulties with the original show or they didn't feel confident in their performances, in the end, their performances still ended up b...

So since Milkman has seemingly abandoned this for the time being, can we expect someone to make a v3 with the AB bluray footage once volume 2 comes out?

What I was getting at is that you would have received pushback from others regardless due to the nature of your statement, just not as much. But since you want to make it about me, the way you presented your perspective like it was objective fact rubbed me the wrong way enough to want to respond. I...

It means subtitles are a literal translation and don't take into account the way someone would normally talk in English. For me, that's not the point of subtitles. What subtitles need to do is make sense to an English reader because you're reading them. Tailoring subs to how English people talk is ...

I never thought you were. It's no big deal.

I want to be fair and not strongarm you into changing your opinion but this isnt an opinion, its stating something that isnt fact as such. Also you are not using dubtitles correctly. Dubtitles are just subs that are the exact same as the dub not just "Liberal sub". And yeah I get some lit...

No you are not understanding that Subtitles if done properly can also convey the tone and spreaking style of the character. You are right in that Japanese only has politeness levels and they all mean the same in english but these can indeed be properly conveyed via careful translation. Like both Si...

. While the dub doesn't rewrite their characters Ted Woolsey-style, at the very least it gives the impression that they have more depth as characters, because they talk more like normal human beings do. I can't quite explain it. Because Japanese people don't talk like normal human beings? What does...

But you could tell who the characters are just by the content of their dialog. Goku's ignorance, Bulma's shallowness, Vegeta's arrogance, Gohan's politeness all come through the subtitles. Are you going to miss out on certain character intricacies without some knowledge of the language? Sure. But i...

Someone please explain to me, does the French bluray have the broadcast audio or not? I saw some posts indicating it didn't, some say it did, I dunno. Has nobody actually checked? And if it DOES have the broadcast audio, is it the version recorded off VHS leaked onto the internet, or is it some othe...

I mean cynical in the sense that it would affect your enjoyment of the music if you knew why it exists. Or cynical in the thought that there was no artistic thought put into it, that it was only intended as a quick buck and not to be anything listenable or of quality.

It's really hard for me to go back to the original Japanese after hearing Kai's dub. If OG DB's dub wasn't so crap, I'd be watching it instead. Part of the problem with listening to original voice tracks for anime is if you're not a weeb and don't know Japanese, the characters' personalities are rea...

So, while doing some more digging through this forum by certain key words (this time being looking in how many places "Captain Harlock" was mentioned), I came upon a topic regarding the lack of main female antagonists in the series, and on the 2nd page of the thread a post mentioning that...

The question in my mind is, will they continue into Z? Will we have releases rivaling the Level Sets in visual quality? Of course, if they continue at this pace, it would take at least 4 volumes to release the entirety of that and it would take at least another 5 years probably.

So... any news from France on volume 2 of this release? Have they announced anything or has it been complete radio silence since volume 1 came out? I'm using this release for my own personal Dragon Ball Recut and the wait for part 2 has been... tough :( It took 2.5 years from announcement for volum...

I can only imagine what's going through Milkman's mind after all this time. Exhaustion? Apathy? It's worrying that he hasn't bothered posting in the thread since the update. Hats off to him for pulling it off, but dear god, it could not have been pleasant. I worry someone else will have to take up t...

I really do think in like, 3-5 years, the love for the Faulconer score will really not be that much of a thing. Obviously it'll always have its fans, but as the Dragon Ball fandom is more and more comprised of English speaking fans who grew up with Kai, with the dub with the original score, or even...

DBZ's success in other countries, which didn't use replacement scores, should tell you how unnecessary it was to change the score. It was going to be a hit regardless. And, no, it's not as if Americans have some unique proclivity towards heavy metal, a genre that came from the UK, and is (just like...

1. I doubt the replacement score had any substantial impact on the ratings. As an American boy back then, do you think what appealed to us was cheap basement produced synth? And if the terrible quality voice acting wasn't a put off for US audiences, why would the more dated animation? And I think y...

But the American version of goku is a rewrite of his character personality etc. I don’t consider that goku. People really overexaggerate the hell out of this. Goku in the English dub has been pretty much accurate since Kai, so going on 13 years now. Even before that the representation of Goku in th...
