Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
They used one Faulconer track in the most recent video. That's about it really.

Re: Favorite Inaccurate Dub.
The Big Green Dub definitely gets the most laughs out of me. The Speedy dub is mostly just a miserable experience with some funny bits strewn about, but not consistently enough for me to enjoy it.

Re: Akira Toriyama is a christian! proof
It can also refer to the Greek god, keeping with the religious theme of her family. I didn't say her name would definitely have been changed, however. It COULD refer to that, just like it could potentially refer to a frying pan, but in this instance, it definitively doesn't. I mean, a Greek god doe...

Re: AB Groupe Edits...
The Blue Water dub is mostly uncensored from what I remember. They really just removed anything involving panties. The only time it really became incomprehensible is when Kamesennin gives Bulma the Dragon Ball. for no real reason. Can't speak for much else.

Re: Does Goku need to go to High School?
What this person you were talking with seems like it would just drag the series down. Dragon Ball is not the type of series that should tackle realistic brain damage. To be honest, it sounds like this person wants to see a completely different franchise and doesn't understand what Dragon Ball is rea...

Re: The Funimation dub of Dragon Ball is absolutely marvello
Overall it isn't bad but I don't think DB is all that hard to dub in comparison to the scenes in Z. In regards to performances I find questionable; I think Sabat's King Piccolo is very unfitting for his early DB design. His Piccolo voice is in full ogre mode and it doesn't sound the least bit demon...

Re: The Funimation dub of Dragon Ball is absolutely marvello
I would say it's more of a mixed bag. There are plenty of good performances, but plenty of awful ones as well. It also has some lingering problems from the Z dub, such as heavily overusing Chris Sabat or nonsensical names changes, like turning the Crane Hermit into Shen and turning the actual Shen i...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 3/28/16
I think most of us predicted that the Freeza Arc would get the five, but I'm starting to wonder if Gaffer is going to throw a curveball at us and give it the three or even the one. Maybe I'm crazy, but I sort of get a certain vibe that he really doesn't like it.

Re: Anyone miss Tiffany Vollmer?
Can't say I do. I find her voice to be exceptionally annoying. It was constantly cracking and her inflections were all over the place. I'd rather hear Monica Rial or Wendee Lee or Leda Davies or Maggie Blue O'hara.... Actually, I think I like almost all of Bulma's English voices more than Tiffany Vo...

Re: What would happen if Saban actually owned the rights to
It was Funimation's choice to hire Ocean for the voices, correct? I think if Saban was fully in charge we would have gotten a full Z dub using their usual talent pool for stuff like Digimon. Heck, we might have seen some actors return from Harmony Gold or Final Bout. In the long run i probably would...

Re: If Harmony Gold didn't get DB License (READ POST)
Oh I read it and I figured it was your idea of what would have happened if Harmony Gold never dubbed DB. You kind of put it in the title of the thread, which implies that's the direction you wanted the conversation to go in. As Cure Dragon 255 said, if you wanted to discuss the idea of AB Groupe lic...

Re: What if Harmony Gold never got the Dragon Ball license?
I don't feel like the Harmony Gold dub had that much of an effect on the course of Dragon Ball's history in America. It faded out so quickly that not many people really seemed to noticed. I think in all likely hood the rights to Dragon Ball would have just sat around until Funimation picked them up,...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I never minded that filler bit where the Kienzan fails against Perfect Cell. I feel like people really overrate the Kienzan's ability. Sure it's an incredibly powerful move, but I feel to see why people think it should be able to cut literally anything.

Re: Best Way to Own the Movies in 4:3?
I'm pretty sure the Big Green DVDs are just a low quality VHS scan. They certainly look like it anyway if you've ever seen it in motion.eledoremassis02 wrote:I would try tracking the Big Green dub for some of the movies!

Re: Would you mind a replacement score for the Kai 2.0 dub?
Regardless of the quality of Sumimoto's score I can't support the dub replacing it just on principle. We're past the days of replacement scores in dubs and I would rather we not go back. Just look at how splintered the Dragon Ball fanbase is over the different musical scores that already exist. I do...

Ah, I see. Yeah, I suppose that's doable...it does make me wonder what they did on Clarke's end in terms of equipment and setup, though.

Re: Potential replacement actors (especially for FUNimation)
In any event, while it is true that a lot of VO work can be done from one's home studio nowadays, dubbing and ADR is a different story. In that case, you need to watch footage and time the delivery of your lines to sync with the lip movements of the character on screen. In addition, for animation (...

I guess. But the big difference is that the quote you posted actually makes sense as a statement. Really, what does "I am truth" actually mean? It's meant to sound heroic when it's completely devoid of real meaning.The Patrolman wrote:But isn't the "I am truth" considered heroic
