Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?
The point was that neither is accurate to the Japanese. As for the justifications for Dameon's second form Cell, I disagree but this isn't the thread for it. Did anyone in this thread even claim that dub voices have to sound like the Japanese voices? That's more of an otaku thing. From what I heard...

Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?
I know this is an unpopular opinion (probably), but I like the TV edit of Tree of Might more because I really love Corlett's performance (even if it's not as accurate). It has its moments in as mentioned above regarding the Sokidon and Masenko's odd name changes in it Yamcha and Gohan are saying so...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Ginyu Force Saga
This begins one of Funimation's most diabolical and brilliant marketing strategies. Releasing episodes on vhs months before their tv debuts. "You want to be the coolest kid on your block and see what happens on Namek before everyone else? Buy our overpriced tapes $20 for 3 episodes!" Pity...

Bootsy Collins in Trunks Special
It's been many years since I've seen it and my dvd is in storage, but I remember hearing something of one of the songs in the dub of the History of Trunks special was done by Bootsy Collins. For those not familiar, he's a legendary bass player known for work with Parliament Funkadelic, and younger g...

Likely due to haven't heard in such a long time, I preferred Jaken as Garlic Jr over his Pilaf. Forget the actor's name, but he was Jaken on Inuyasha.

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Piccolo Junior Saga
The story seems like it's portraying Goku and Chichi as married rather than engaged and I'm not sure why. I think that's a Japan thing or something. Will say it's at least from a Western view, one of the things the dub did better in emphasizing engagement rather than acting like they had a priest c...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Piccolo Daimao Saga
Tambourine also implies the father bear was dead in episode 106, contradicting the sounds and movements he was making (even in Funimation's dub) that made it clear he was alive and was merely hurt by Tambourine. Unless i'm mistaken, i seem to recall the edited Toonami broadcast of FUNi's dub of thi...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Piccolo Daimao Saga
Another cut I recall was that part of Suno aiming the gun at King Piccolo and it looking like he took her out for a sec. Kids and guns was kinda touchy back then and got censored in a lot of anime around that time. And I'm paraphrasing, but did like King Piccolo's last words, "Go my son. Avenge...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Tenshinhan Saga
While I haven't watched these episodes in 20 years almost, I'd say it's still better to watch if dubbed with your anime senses turned off then? Will say, while watching on CN back then, was surprised at it dragging out. Viz was releasing the manga around the same time. Also if I recall right, the du...

Re: What would you choose: Good voice acting with bad translation or Bad voice acting with good translation?
The title sounds like it would fit with the BOTP and G-Force adaptations of Gatchaman. The latter is truer to Gatchaman but from what I heard was more of a rushed dub and done more cheap, whereas the former had big names like Casey Kasem and Janet Waldo doing well, but took many liberties in additio...

Sorry if sounding pessimistic, but if it were remade, why do I have a feeling Bulma would go up a few cup sizes than she was in the original?

Re: why does Vegeta still dead name Goku?
I think you're taking it too seriously and the Nation likely doesn't have many branches in Japan. But yeah, I'd say it's how modern Superman doesn't mind folks calling him "Kal-El" instead of Clark Kent. Grant not a lot of folks know about the latter purposely, but some concept.

Re: Extremely annoyed by English language credits and episode title cards on DB Super blu-rays.
The issue is that while yes I could buy the Japanese release, and then rip them to a computer and then combine the U.S.A Blu-ray subtitles, that is such a hassle to do rather than having the distributors do it from the get go. How good is your Japanese where you can read it, or do you prefer like S...

Is this one of your first anime I take it? A lot of DB's sister shows, as well as classics done by Pioneer/Geneon, Bandai and ADV have only English credits.
