RIP Pauline Newstone

https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/12/12/pauline-newstone-the-voice-of-beast-wars-airazor-has-passed-away-500659 While the article mainly refers to her excellent casting as Airazor, she was the first English speaking Frieza.

Re: Were there hard feelings between Linda Young and Funimation after she was recast?

She was on Fairy Tail, Nobunagun, and other shows so I would guess that's a no.

Would Goku work in old CN bumper crossovers?

Was watching the recent Nostalgia Critic video on Cartoon Network bumpers and while know licensing and other factors wouldn't have i, was thinking would Goku have worked in the old Cartoon Network bumpers when many characters would interact with each other? Anime-wise, they did have Speed Racer carp...

Re: Rock The Dragon Intro Spoilers, Questions, and Thoughts

The interesting thing is, if you were introduced to DBZ through the Toonami reruns, you'd almost never see the opening anyway since they discarded their shows' openings in favor of their own in-house intros (except for Johnny Quest for some reason). You cannot excise the opening of The Real Adventu...

Re: Which Grandfather would Gohan like more?

More than likely Grandpa Gohan. Especially since he was actually in Heaven while Bardock was in Hell.

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Great Saiyaman Saga

Laura Bailey's Trunks, however, OMG! It's awful, just awful. She got better as time went on, but well… we'll get to Kai down the road, but she got moderately better but still sounds super raspy and forced. Her first appearance as Trunks is one of the worst bits of casting in Dragon Ball even after ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Best of the Next World Tournament Saga

I was left wanting for more Olibu, I don't think we saw him fight. But it's ok, a longer tourney would've defeated its purpose. I liked that he was an earthling, I wonder when he was a hero, maybe he met Mutaito or he trained him, or perhaps he lived even before Namek's climate change brought us th...

Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4

Damn. No one had any thoughts on the special. Well, I guess it wasn't much anyway besides a quick excuse for a team-up. And not dubbing the Toriko half of the special made this feel a little empty. I mean, we didn't even get to see the exchange between Vegeta, Zoro, and Zebra dubbed, which sucked. ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: Movie 8, 9, 10

Movie 9 led to some confusion years later after it came out over here. Mainly due to the villain's name. Before I had Netflix and heard of a particular cartoon aimed at adults, would hear the name "Bojack" and of folks cosplaying him, thought they meant Bojack from "Bojack Unbound&quo...

Re: Deep Thoughts: Trunks TV Special, Movies 5, 6, 7

Movie 7 basically turned Krillin and Gohan into comedy relief. Did like the fish jumping line.

Will also say while do prefer the Japanese version of movie 5, I did like their revealing of Cooler's relationship to Frieza with the line, "You've still got a lot to learn, brother."

Re: Deep Thoughts: Movie 4 and The Garlic Jr. Saga

. For Spice Bart Myer stepped down and J Michael Tatum took over. Mustard was originally played by Mark Britten, but Brandon Porter took his place. Then Maron who was voiced by Daphne Gere became voiced by Leah Clark. This always confused me. I get the recasting in the Ginyu and Frieza saga for con...

Know a few folks say they thought Cell's destruction was the best use of the "Ginyu Transformation" theme that played in the dub when big things went down.

While it won't make as much sense in Japanese, wondering if there would be a moment between Toriko, Brook and Whis.

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Trunks Saga

I forgot to mention, why did FUNi change the pronunciation of Dr. Gero? It's supposed to be a hard G, and now it's I don't know what to call it. Is it a soft G? When I think soft G, I think of words that start with G but have a J sound, like Gerald. They were probably thinking like that when seeing...

Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?

Depending on the circumstance and episode, there were times during the first two seasons when they called him "Master Frieza", though Funimation's in-house kept it as "Lord Frieza" even in the redub of season 2. Most modern dubs/subs translate (insert name here)-sama as "Lor...

Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?

Again, these were the only versions I saw, but did anyone else notice that Turles' crew were more respectful in the video dub to the tv dub? In the tv dub they simply addressed him by name, but the video dub, they called him "Master Turles".

Kids WB is also where the 4Kids dub of Yu-GI-Oh , aired, and that was still notoriously subject to censorship, to varying degrees of silliness. Broadcast television in general seemed to be just a bit more strict than the stuff you saw on stations like Cartoon Network. Also I think their standards h...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Saiyan Conflict (Ocean Dub)

Dave Ward as Ox-King is honestly a better performance than it had any right to be, since the Ox-King is such a minor character. Aside from Matt Smith, I also find the Ocean Roshis to be quite painful. But hey, that's how I feel about every English Roshi. Most of them sound like a young guy trying t...
