Re: Budokai 1 20th Anniversary Thread

I remember starting up the game and the intro being a 3D version of the anime intro with rock the dragon blasting out of my tv. I knew this game was gonna be something special when I saw that. Before this the only DBZ video games I had played were poorly emulated ROMS of the Super Butoden games on t...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

Yeeeea. Sadly the 4kids OP dub was so bad that it turned a good portion of anime fans off in the west from giving One Piece a chance. And the Funi Deebeezee dub was so bad it turned a good portion of anime fans off in the west from giving Dragonball a chance. The difference is that all the 8 year o...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

I can actually bring myself to watch it, and in terms of the Z dub as a whole it's definitely better than Seasons 3 and 4 (note that i'm talking about the broadcast seasons as aired, not the home releases numbering) and like the OG DB dub it's decent enough and watchable for what it is. I has its f...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

Yeah, no. They were literally hired on the cheap by FUNi and many of them had little to no acting experience aside from a few doing community theater here and there. Just listen to most of their early stuff especially DB movie 2 and Season 3 and it's very clear that they weren't good starting out, ...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

How is this debatable exactly? It wasn't a remotely good dub by any means acting or script wise especially in Season 3, now by the Buu arc it got to a barely passable ok-ish level but early on...yeah not so much. arguably has better acting at times than most dubs nowadays that just sound very monot...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

I mean, it was undeniably a garbage product of a time back in the late '90s/early 2000's when FUNi wasn't anywhere near where they've been over the last decade. The Z dub (Season 3 especially) was done on the cheap in every respect and the early days show how rough it was starting out after moving ...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

Might as well have gone with Faulconer for consistency's sake. That way you pull in the DBZ audience that would just ignore the show otherwise. If not Faulconer, then someone else. If the scripts and acting had been better than they were, that would be one thing, but they were not. Also going from ...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

Lord help us all if Funimation had decided to have Team Faulconer replace Dragon Ball’s bgm. The “goofy” music in Z was painful and would have made up a majority kf the music for early Dragon Ball The fact that they kept the original score is a big factor for why it is better than the Z dub Serious...

Re: Who else likes Chi-Chi more than Bulma?

I think Chichi in the Buu arc is pretty based. Not only is it her best design (come to think of it, all the girls had their best designs during this arc), but she's mellowed out a lot, even training Goten, cheering he and Gohan on at the tournament, etc. and being a pretty reasonably protective mom...

yeeea you can't really pull off what japan did in english. a woman voicing what looks like adult goku in a english dub would just come off incredibly jarring.

Re: Buu Kai manga cut (Dragon box footage) COMPLETED

Thought I'd check out some of this and its ridiculous how one person can do a far better edit job at dbz than toei themselves. My only criticism is that I don't like the sped up animation but then again these kai projects were never really aimed toward me in the first place. I'm one of the few peopl...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

That's the thing which really sucks, in that FUNi for some deliberate reason does not want to put out a release of Z that respects the show for what it is . No... to them it's all about polishing and making it look like a new thing and doing so as cheaply as possible as we have seen with the Orange...

Re: FYE Announces Dragon Ball Z Orange Brick "Collector's" Box Set

I don't have any of the blue bricks and the box set for all the volumes looks really, really tempting but that price tag has me hesitant yet again. its a shame too because the box looks really nice.

If it was 60-70 dollars less I'd have jumped on it.

HxH1999 probably doesnt have the rights to get released into bluray, after madhouse did their adaptation. But yea just for Matsushima's episodes, i'd love to see a good bluray of that. I always found it weird how runouni kenshin never got a bluray, besides the glorious ovas Matsushima was a beast o...

In general there are very few examples of a long running weekly anime series from the pre digital era that have been remastered for blu ray in Japan. Seasonal shows like gundam have been remastered but nothing of the hundreds of episodes variety. The only ones I can think of are yu yu hakusho and R...
