Do you have a link? I wasn't able to find it.

I don't like the old dubs anymore and I appreciate the Boo arc much more even if it's still my least favorite of the Z era. I went through a phase some years back where I preferred Japanese Z to Kai, but I'm currently back to preferring Kai. I knew I felt that way when tried to join in on one of the...

While 89 is a good run, it's always sad to lose another person associated with the franchise, especially someone who played such a memorable villain. My thoughts are with his family and friends and I hope he rests in peace.

Toei has posted a preview clip of the special for anyone interested. Sounds like they got Ian Sinclair back to do Toriko, which makes sense since he's local and plays Brook (don't remember if Brook has any speaking lines in this special, but the point remains).

I hope there's still a chance Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return will get dubbed someday, but I don't know if Dream 9 being dubbed makes it any more likely. Crunchyroll would need to license Yo! Son Goku from Shueshia rather than TOEI, meaning it would cost more to license and couldn't be acquired...

Per Toei Animation's Twitter. It seems to only be the One Piece episode since Toonami's schedule for the evening only has the special listed for a half-hour time slot. This means that the Toriko half of the special will likely not be included. According to a news email from Toei, this broadcast wil...

I still think Kai and the current movies have the best English dubs of anything DB-related, but the Ocean movies are definitely really close. Good ADR scripts, great cast/direction, and keeping the music all make for some great dubs. I do have nitpicks about one or two lines and reads, and the added...

No. Just because Super Hero turned out well doesn't mean I want all of DB to look like it going forward. I generally prefer 2D animation to 3D, and Super Broly is the best the series has ever looked. I'd like more stuff in that direction, even if it's scaled down due to being on a TV series producti...

I made a thread about this back in 2019. Marlene Sharp has spoken about her time at RA a bunch over the years. In an interview with a Saint Seiya podcast, she said they were developing a Digimon adaptation at one point, too, but it never went beyond paper. Part of me wonders if that's the same fate...

YouTuber Ray Mona made huge waves this past year with her excellent two - part documentary about her search for the previously lost Americanized live-action/animated hybrid Sailor Moon pitch pilot made by Toonmakers and Renaissance-Atlantic (the latter of which worked with Saban on several shows inc...

I think most of the cast is really good these days, but Chris Ayres's Freeza is genuinely one of my favorite performances in anime dubs. Ditto for Ian Sinclair's Whis. Chris Rager's Mr. Satan is also utterly fantastic. Monica Rial and Colleen Clinkenbeard are the best English Bulma and Kid Goku/Goha...

Good script with bad acting for me. I think it's more important for the substance of the story to be preserved. No amount of good acting makes the TV Ocean cast dub watchable for me, for example. Thankfully the uncut Ocean cast movies gave us the best of both worlds. I will admit I am open to a bit ...

I think that might be tough because if I remember right the Blurays that had Yamamoto were reissued with the Kikuchi score, so there's no guarantee you'll get what you're looking for. I believe you'd be looking for the first-run Blurays, which have like 11-12 episodes a pop on them. The Home Video G...

Any opportunity for Ocean Kai to finally air gets a yes from me. I mean, why not?

The movies are much better paced and animated than the TV retellings. I recommend watching the movies instead of the TV versions, skipping to Episode 28 after the movies. Episode 30 is a recap episode that will get you up to speed on the biggest differences between the movie and TV versions. If you ...

I hear The Final Chapters is to be added when HBO Max gets there. It will be the debut of Funimation's edited dub, which is kinda neat too. Really? I thought the Latino Spanish dub of The Final Chapters was based on FUNimation's uncut dub. I know the pre- Final Chapters stuff was based on the censo...

So after several delays HBO Max finally uploaded Kai to Latino Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese speaking regions of the world starting with the first 54 episodes. Unfortunately for many fans in those regions, it's the existing dub rather than a redub, complete with the Nicktoons censorship. What's i...

So the BBC site has uploaded up to Episode 76. It seems that this is still a slightly more edited version of the Pop version with the awkward cuts around swears and the like. The Arale episode seems to cut around mentions of Mr. Satan's name. Also, references to death have been kept in Episode 53; t...

So, to get this all straight... DB and GT use footage from the Season sets Z uses Dragon Box footage, but stretched to widescreen Some episodes are missing on VRV, but they're all there on Crunchyroll Only the US and some other territories have this; the UK doesn't have any of it unless you use a V...

If it helps, I personally find the criticism of Kikuchi Kai to be incredibly overblown and it's my preferred way to watch the show. While I certainly miss the variety that Kikuchi Z has and there are weird placements in a handful of scenes, Kikuchi still feels like Dragon Ball to me. Also, I think t...
