But retcons are specific. This isn't a change in continuity. Nothing important happened with that information and the explanation for the change works in universe. It's not any different from a reveal that character X is really character Y even though there was no foreshadowing but it doesn't contr...

From the evidence here, all I'm really seeing that we know for sure is that Funimation has done some pre-processing/clean-up work on their masters. But isn't that something they would have done no matter how they were going about remastering the series? I'm willing to bet that this pre-processed ver...

Can someone explain why they used DNR to remove all the grain and then add a layer of fake grain on top? Because I don't understand at all. My guess is they saw the complaints and in an attempt to damage control they added fake grain on top so that it appears as if they fixed it. Naturally your gue...

Well, I got my set back last Friday, and I spent a good chunk of Saturday spot-checking things, so I might as well share my thoughts. Is the remaster good? Of course not. I didn't expect it to be back when I ordered this, and it didn't disappoint me on that front. I don't think I need to elaborate o...

Ordered mine 4/6, still says processing and there's no shipment info. No email either. They took the money out months ago (and even if they didn't, there's definitely enough to not be declined). Oh well, I guess the big well-oiled machine known as Funimation didn't have Billy the intern send mine o...

I'm certainly not sad that all this new DB stuff came out, but I'm not exactly enthusiastic about it, either. For sure, I got some enjoyment out of watching all the new animated material, but I think doing a weekly series was where this all outstayed its welcome, especially in Super's first half. Th...

I suspect this change is related to how Toei started pushing for Funimation's names in the subtitles earlier this year, which I suspect is part of some push from Toei to have consistent branding worldwide. I'm guessing the goal to ensure that Goku is Goku is Goku, no matter where you look, and they'...

Wasn't Koichi's design inspired by Cell arc Gohan?

I jumped on this set because if this was what Funimation had on offer for the 30th, I'm not expecting any sort of improvement to come anytime soon. At this point, the only remaster I see myself actually being excited for is one with Toei involved using their materials, and I'm not holding my breath ...

That's what I got from your comment, a bunch of "you're wrong!"s :lol: A bunch of the emotions he's describing in that post ("it felt to me like no one else in the while wide world knew about this except me!") are actually rooted at the heart of a LOT of still glaring misconcept...

My first order of business: make a remaster of this series that's actually worth being excited about. Do it using Toei's film masters, with corrections for the weird colors, and broadcast audio. I'll even let them do DNR on it, because with a first-gen master it's much less likely to come out lookin...

I thought the dub of Trigun was handled by Pioneer? Actually, it was originally licensed by Pioneer when they became Geneon, but when they collapsed, the rights were bought by FUNimation. They, however, later dubbed the movie & brought back the cast from the show, which included Johnny. I'm pre...

I know he reprised his Vash the Stampede for Trigun: Badlands Rumble back in 2011-ish, which was a Funimation thing.

*snip* First off, I completely understand that none of what you said was directed at me, for the reasons you've already stated. We're definitely mere strangers to one another, which is likely exacerbated by the fact that (despite what my forum tag says) I'm not a regular here at all. What I do is j...

This has been pretty great so far! My favorite speedruns to watch are of games I've played through myself, and I haven't seen anything on this game yet, so this is perfect for me. I'd say your current format, with chapter-to-chapter installments and subtitles for commentary, works really well! Once ...

He was all over news headline not that long ago so yes? I mean I assume people who have never seen an Alfred Hitchcock movie still know who he is by pop culture ubiquity? How much of that news coverage was dedicated to his status as an "acting legend", though? I don't remember that being ...

I just don’t see why one would need to assume that someone else is exclusively watching children’s entertainment to begin with. I mean when someone compares Mignogna to Kevin Spacey as an actor it’s really not hard to conclude that they only watch children’s entertainment. Well, would someone even ...

Stop watching nothing but exclusively children's cartoons. He says in a forum dedicated to exclusively discussing a children's cartoon. I really wonder how much of this "people only consuming kids' media" thing you're seeing is actually going on here, vs. the fact that this forum is dedic...

I'm frankly impressed that Toonami's revival has lasted this long. Though, in this age of streaming, I imagine having a whole block of shows (with a variable lineup) with its own devoted fandom is a powerful asset to a traditional TV channel. That's why I'm thinking that Toonami will be sticking aro...

Those boys just have a good, old-fashioned bromance going on. Props to them for making it work that long.
