Re: Underrated dubs?

Tian is one of my favorite posters here lol. Oh, thanks for the nice words. Now going back on topic, yeah, it is really somewhat annoying that alternate English dubs are looked down by some hardcore FUNimation dub fans (I even coined a term for them: FUNidiots) Geez, they even bashed the Bang Zoom ...

Re: Underrated dubs?

And, as I've mentioned with the example of the Blue Water dubs Ocean write their own scripts based on direct translations from the Japanese version. Westwood Z was the exception because they were under pressure to sell their dub to networks. I urge anyone who hasn't done so to compare Blue Water sc...

Re: Underrated dubs?

The Ocean cast's performances make all those corny lines entertaining at least. True. Despite that the script they were given to work with would be better suited for a western cartoon, they still gave really damn good performances. That's why I'm looking forward to the Ocean Kai dub because if FUNi...

Russian dub cast

I decided to share a little personal investigation of mine about one of the many international dubs of the Dragon Ball franchise: The Russian dub. History Since I've ever heard about Russian dub and watched it years ago, I've been interested into looking for its cast but nothing was found in interne...

Re: Underrated dubs?

Yeah, the Canadian dubs always get trashed there. Think YouTube is the last place to go for any nuanced discussion about dubs because you always know the naysayers are just waiting to trash anything that's not what they're used to. Yup, they're as annoying as some of my fellow Latin Americans bashi...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

From a dev/engine POV, is it that unlikely to get Noon/Evening/Night variations of the same stage? I'm a web developer but I also have some knowledge in game design. As Rinsanka Jugin stated, they don't have to make every variation from scratch, they just have to clone the map's file, change the sk...

Polish dub of Kai.

It may not be a masterpiece but it doesn't suck as much as some people (mainly on YT) want you to believe.

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

I'd rather let kids to discover the stuff by themselves, because that's the way I did. Here's one particular experience I fondly remember: When I was growing up, there was this programming night block on Nickelodeon called Nick@Nite (I know it still exists in the U.S but it does not longer here) and...

You mean, without Gen's uncle who worked at Toei and the Cocanougher family, there would be no Funimation.

If we gotta thank FUNi for anything, well, at least they gave Dallas a voice acting industry.

Re: Skipped episodes

Kinda surprised no one has mentioned the single, most erroneous example, which is North America skipping 140 episodes . As far as I know original Dragon Ball is unique in the history of English dubbed anime for being put on hiatus for 6 years because the license holder thought its sequel would do b...

Yes. As long as they fuse right, of course. Don't get me wrong I know they're for comical relief but the failed fusions joke is getting old for me.

Re: Skipped episodes

You know as well as I do this was skipped because Freezer impales Krillin in this one. Which shows how far CN has fallen. NOT EVEN 4KIDS AND THE CW skipped this episode! I'm aware it's that episode but I doubt it was the only and main reason for CN to skip it. Not to mention, that while Kai was bei...

Skipped episodes

I've just remembered when Cartoon Network Latin America, for some reason, always skipped episode 37 of Dragon Ball Z Kai. It wouldn't be till 2012 (Cartoon Network Latin America had already finished airing the original run of Kai at the time) that the skipped episode would be finally shown... but on...

Re: Has anyone heard anything about Dragon Ball's Cambodian broadcast?

I remember Kei commenting that the broadcast was censored, specially in the Freeza saga.

Apparently, Cambodian TV stations seem to have more strict standards on violence nowadays due to historical reasons (the violent Khmer Rogue regime)
