Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy

Spirit Bomb is the correct translation. What do you want? A Yatsu Kisama Tachi translation? Spirit Bomb is Funimation's rendition of Genki-Dama. "Genki" can mean "health", "energy" or "vitality", all of which are spiritual attributes, and "Dama" has...

Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy

After reading all the pages of this thread, yeah I can agree that Kai’s dub was, at worst, a 9/10 in accuracy. You aren’t blatantly being misled by the storytelling though like with the old FUNi dub. Small talk moments that change it up here and there isn’t enough to annoy me. With Kai, you aren’t ...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Sadly, Germany's DB Fandom was ALSO in its infancy back in 2004. Dragon Ball premiered in 1999.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I mentioned Latin America, but I am glad he did see the USA, Sadly I think back then the fandom was in its infancy in the USA even if by then Dragon Ball was A HUGE SUCCESS in said country.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Actually, I think that while would have been mega grateful to his fanbase and loving that people like his work outside Japan, most mangaka dont really grasp just HOW BIG their work is outside their home country. Masashi Kishimoto, who is liked but not the same amount Toriyama is BELOVED, only graspe...

Re: I'll be perfectly honest, I really don't like Gohan (or Broly).

I disagree. Even in real life you could train in something and achieve Ultra Instinct levels of skill. But then their are people with zero proper training who match you or even surpass you. Gohan is that naturally skilled/in bred talent kind of person. He just needs a catalyst for his skills to flo...

Re: Dragon Ball Theme Park

To this day I think The Nameless Namekian saw war in the Dragon Ball Equivalent of the Middle East and this gave birth to Piccolo Daimaoh.

Re: Dragon Ball Theme Park

Ojamajo Doremi is all about witches and magic, and it is extremely popular in the Middle East. I thought they removed all the magic from the Arabic dub, but no. The one major thing they did is swap the ending theme for the opening of the arabic dub! There is much misinformation for the Arab territor...

Re: I'll be perfectly honest, I really don't like Gohan (or Broly).

First thing's first, sending my respects to Akira Toriyama and may he rest in peace. His legacy and his creations will be remembered fondly by millions for decades. With that aside, I just want to say in lieu of Super Hero and Broly, I really, really dislike modern Dragon Ball's writing style. I kn...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai is getting a Castilian dub

If I recall correctly, that was because Arait Multimedia (the distributor of Kai in whole Spain at that time) was unable to make a deal with any TV station from Madrid. I feel this dub will happen because of Max Coming to Europe. I think this will be a streaming dub. It's actually not for MAX, it's...

I'm surprised it took so long, since there were dubs in Catalan, Basque and Galician even for The Final Chapters. If I recall correctly, that was because Arait Multimedia (the distributor of Kai in whole Spain at that time) was unable to make a deal with any TV station from Madrid. I feel this dub ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai is getting a Castilian dub

It REALLY WAS PRIME TIME for a Spain dub of DBZKai. I REALLY hope they follow France's example by making it awesome and getting rid of ALL THE MISTAKES they inherited from France in the old dub.

Re: Dubs you've been actively following

They made up for having a better dance around death by being more ridiculous in censorship than the Saban era dub in every other aspect. Goku can't have a halo over his head, it's a ball of light Vegeta and Nappa can't even eat the cricket aliens of the planet they just conquered they have to eat.....

Re: What DB movie would you show a 10 year old who's seen OG DB twice?

I think your lil un loves Dragon Ball so much she wont ever really mind any movie you show her. What you should be doing is curate the experience and remember to skip any scary/too violent/sexual stuff.

Art and politics go together like peanut butter and jelly. Anyone who has study art history (like myself) would know this.
