Re: Dragon Ball on MeTV's Kids Block? Yay or Nay?

id like it if they did, let a new generation of kids grow up with DB. If the tv station demands edited episodes, we know funi still has those. more db on air cant be bad imo, yes even gt and super.

Re: It’s literally such a SHAME how LAME and WASTED Videl became.

Videl felt like Toriyama said “Gohan is going to marry his mom” and then remembered Chi Chi wasn’t well liked and took out the nagging wife/tiger mom but forgot to put a replacement personality in its place. Yeah pretty much. Sure I'm not surprised the daughter of one of the richest people on earth...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

I thought there was newer evangelion stuff that didnt get dubbed by AVD before netflix took over, and they wanted everything to have the same dub cast. Ether way netflix's dub is better But if not then sorry for pushing misinformation.

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

Barry Watson is in my mind the main reason dub db is in the state it is. All the VAs its had under funi have proven they do/did have some talent(even if it took some of the newbies a bit to learn), but when you are given a trash script to work with well no amount of talent can fix that.

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

Were the only re-dubs netflix did of shows that didnt have a complete existing dub? agreed with ocean being a good medium though, i think pioneer handled the scripts for those 3 movies with the ocean cast, and funimation bascially being the middle man between them and toei. shame they didnt do every...

Re: English version with cool music???

That's the Faulconer Productions OST. It's considered by most the definitive Z soundtrack. Who is "most" exactly? American fans? (I think any long time user who was around here in 2009 /10 couldn't possibly fathom me being on the other side of this argument, but here we are) Well it's not...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

Like many others who have posted, I think it's possible, but not likely. Too much time has passed, and the demand for a new dub isn't that high tbh. That being said, if we were ever in a huge Dragon Ball drought, I could see Funimation doung yet another redub of the show, but it would have to be du...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

Well, assuming someone would go through the trouble of doing this, they gotta make money SOMEHOW! You can't just dub an entire series and movies and TV specials and expect your actors to walk off without making a single cent. Correct. And as soon as they tried making their own dub and profit off of...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

They should stay true to the original when it comes to the script, but whether or not the voices sound like the ones in the Japanese version has no bearing on that. Masako Nozawa has a pretty distinct voice, and I’d argue that if an English dub chose its Goku specifically based on who could sound t...

Re: What are the odds of us getting 4:3 Blu-rays of the Bardock/Trunks specials?

Well, Kazé Germany at least claims they will use new masters for their upcoming German Blu-ray release of the two Z specials and the GT special. (ETA - according to Amazon - is 15 April 2021 ). I wonder if they really got their hands on a HD transfer of the GT special :?: Definitely not. It will be...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

I think it works because Nozawa is a good actor and because she voiced Goku for 3 years before he became an adult so she IS Goku’s voice in Japan. We’re just never going to get that here. They absolutely could have replaced her though with an adult male actor and then give her the role of Gohan and...

I think keeping the same VA *could* be done in dragon ball, but probably would have to start having younger goku voiced by a man not a woman. Most western women just dont have the range that nozawa does. Maybe someone like peter kalamis could have done it, but that ship has sailed Kelamis voiced yo...
