Re: Dragon Ball Theme Park

Ojamajo Doremi is all about witches and magic, and it is extremely popular in the Middle East. I thought they removed all the magic from the Arabic dub, but no. The one major thing they did is swap the ending theme for the opening of the arabic dub! There is much misinformation for the Arab territor...

Re: I'll be perfectly honest, I really don't like Gohan (or Broly).

First thing's first, sending my respects to Akira Toriyama and may he rest in peace. His legacy and his creations will be remembered fondly by millions for decades. With that aside, I just want to say in lieu of Super Hero and Broly, I really, really dislike modern Dragon Ball's writing style. I kn...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai is getting a Castilian dub

If I recall correctly, that was because Arait Multimedia (the distributor of Kai in whole Spain at that time) was unable to make a deal with any TV station from Madrid. I feel this dub will happen because of Max Coming to Europe. I think this will be a streaming dub. It's actually not for MAX, it's...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai is getting a Castilian dub

I'm surprised it took so long, since there were dubs in Catalan, Basque and Galician even for The Final Chapters. If I recall correctly, that was because Arait Multimedia (the distributor of Kai in whole Spain at that time) was unable to make a deal with any TV station from Madrid. I feel this dub ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai is getting a Castilian dub

It REALLY WAS PRIME TIME for a Spain dub of DBZKai. I REALLY hope they follow France's example by making it awesome and getting rid of ALL THE MISTAKES they inherited from France in the old dub.

Re: Dubs you've been actively following

They made up for having a better dance around death by being more ridiculous in censorship than the Saban era dub in every other aspect. Goku can't have a halo over his head, it's a ball of light Vegeta and Nappa can't even eat the cricket aliens of the planet they just conquered they have to eat.....

Re: What DB movie would you show a 10 year old who's seen OG DB twice?

I think your lil un loves Dragon Ball so much she wont ever really mind any movie you show her. What you should be doing is curate the experience and remember to skip any scary/too violent/sexual stuff.

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"

Art and politics go together like peanut butter and jelly. Anyone who has study art history (like myself) would know this. A lot of people only see on what is on the surface level and not anything else. Like these examples https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/419/592/211.png https://i.k...

Meanwhile, by contrast, Japan has a considerable degree of mutual animosity with China and Korea... and yet you don't see them making jabs about those places all the time whenever they or their cultures are depicted in most anime/manga properties (including the one that this forum is built around, ...

What exactly is your proposed topic (beyond what little we can glean from the thread title?) What do you have to say about it yourself? What context can you share about it?

Re: DBZ's TV Ratings reign is over.

On second thought I think the ratings tanked NOT due to Kai but Naruto reaching a REALLY BORING final stretch of episodes.

Re: Your watching experience on Toonami

The YTV airings are quite unique, not only were they the only channel outside of Europe to air the Westwood and Blue Water dubs but for episodes 53-167 of Dragon Ball Z, when the Funimation inhouse cast was still being heard on Canadian TV you got a separate cut of that dub than what Toonami US got...

Re: Your watching experience on Toonami

As a Canadian fan we of course didn't have Toonami as DBZ aired on YTZ and the end product was a mishmash of the Saban sub, the original funimation dub and finally the westwood dub from somewhere in the middle of the Cell Games onward. Having said that we were still exposed to "toonamiisms&quo...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I think Toei and Fuji TV allow One Piece to have blood because all attempts at marketing it for kids in the west flopped. Super is made with international kids channels in mind. Dragon Ball has a major kid audience in the west,even if its massively succesful with Adults.
