Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early

It's kinda crazy to learn that Hibari-kun was so popular, considering I never heard about it until a few years ago when trans YouTubers started promoting it. Most of the anime that seemed to get brought over outside Japan back then was either toyetic and easy to market and sell to children or hyper...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

To be fair, Japan did make a necrophiliac cannibal rapist into a ""wholesome mascot"", complete with TV Shows, interviews, and pornography with actresses who had no idea of his criminal record. Key difference here is that the victim was herself Japanese, while with the other per...

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai

Kai is obviously way more beginner friendly, but there's also an unfair stigma attached to it that has never fully gone away. Many people still associate it with the Toonzai broadcast, i.e; overly censored, blue Popo, etc.. Lots of people don't even realise there's an uncensored version. I dunno, I...

Re: Recasts that ended up being better than the original

Sean Schemmel, once he got the hang of voice acting was a step up from Peter Kelamis as Goku While Kohei Miyauchi was still the goat, I do think Masaharu Satō was a mass improvement as Kame Sennin over Hiroshi Masuoka . Similarly, I'm not huge on Mike McFarland's Roshi, but I do think he was a lot b...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything, but the title of the thread literally says Furuya Tooru, who is not exactly a voice actor in in the English dubbing industry. I was going to say the same, but I didnt want to look like I wanted to erase dub actors with asian names... Because I did it a long...

If R/DBZ and R/Dragon Ball are anything to go by the overwhelming majority of them seem to watch Kai.

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

Why does this keep happening? Is the dub community just inherently toxic for some reason? Is this the fault of the fandom? I don't understand. What is it with people automatically assuming it’s the dub community when something goes wrong? This was someone from the Japanese cast. People have to stop...

No, he did not. Why are you still on about that?

Worse he did was getting pissy at fans online for being critical of his Goku performance.

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

Right. I have heard claims that the original Dragon Ball is the more popular of the two in Japan, but I have my doubts. Why was "Z Senshi" used as a term for describing the Dragon Team, even in Japan? Why did Battle of the Gods release under the Z branding when Z had already ended ages ag...

Re: Does Crunchyroll provide sub par output... on purpose?

Is it the same team that worked at Funimation? Total incompetence. There really is no real reason to proselytizing sabotage anything on their end. With the merger I'd imagine jobs were lost on both ends "to reduce department redundancies" as it what happens with those things. Probably som...

Re: Sub elitism is every bit as toxic as the dub equivalent and should be treated with the same scrutiny

I don't hold a grudge against Adamant , I have a grudge against the anti-dub stance this site has historically taken, which has done far more harm than good. I get the purpose of this site is to promote the Japanese version but doing it at the expense of all international versions that have introdu...

Re: Does Crunchyroll provide sub par output... on purpose?

Between trying to sell the goddamn Orange Bricks on their online store for $35 USD, their how-do-you-even fuck-that-up? handling of Kai for Hulu, and all the stuff you mentioned I would probably just write them off as incompetent .

Nobody is saying you can't like both. Nowhere in this thread will you find a single person who proclaimed &quo...

By the same token no one has the right to say someone is "not a fan of X because they like Y". But nowhere did anyone say "You can't be a fan of Dragon Ball because you like the Funimation dub" Adamant, Kaboom, Majin Buu and everyone else who threw their two cents in are talking...
