Re: Need More Info Regarding Master Audio Tapes For Dragon B

A lot of tracks, video and/or audio for early anime, stuff before DB, and probably at the same time, were just thrown away, recorded over, or were lost in fires.

Re: What if 4Kids got DB?

Don't get me wrong. The Ocean years weren't good. The Ocean years were terrible, for the most part. But the Ocean years can be forgiven a little easier because they were just starting. Funimation had a chance to get even better voice actors and do a much better job handling the accuracy of the scrip...

Re: Goku speaks "Yakuza-Gangster" Japanese? What?

When Goku enters a scene, there should be dueling banjos. Bardock and Gine were probably first cousins.

Goku doesn't want the gob'nit on his propatay, dagnabit. He's fixin' to cook up sum viddles. Whee doggies!

He wants to see the World King's birth certificate.

Re: What if 4Kids got DB?

It's neat when Japanese voice actors can speak English, but let's learn from ADV's mistakes and not cast them as their roles in English dubs, too. Just look at Mari Iijima's performance as Lynn Minmay in the Macross dub.

Re: What if 4Kids got DB?

What is your opinion on Dameon Clarke as Perfect Cell? I often hear much praise for that one, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it. He's okay. I don't know, maybe I just haven't thought about it much. When your competition is Norio Wakamoto , you don't really stand a chance. I guess I need to...

Re: What if 4Kids got DB?

I will admit this, Kyle Hebert is a good older Gohan. I'm looking forward to hearing him again when Funimation gets around to dubbing the Buu arc of Kai. Brad Swaile did a good job as him in the later Ocean dub, too. One of the few VAs that actually did a good job in those later years. Older Gohan h...

Re: What if 4Kids got DB?

The sad thing is, Funimation now has more respect for the series than most of the so-called fans in North America (dumb 16:9 releases aside).

Maybe the fans will catch up some day.

Sure is great we have you around to remind us of every little detail of how FUNimation is the worst company in the world. :roll:.

Re: What if 4Kids got DB?

You speak as if Funimation didnt eventually release a subbed version of the show. Which they did. And if you hate the dub so much why not just ignore it and stick to the subs? The dub isn't going to magically become good because I watch the Japanese version. My problem is with how the English versi...

I'm sure it will probably be the same as it has been: parts first, seasons later.
It's too bad Funimation has no idea what "season" means.
