Re: Alternate OP for the NickToons broadcast!?

Hi, I'm Brakus and I'm a huge nerd. Why? Not only have I made a 58-second edit of the song using the original Japanese vocalist, but also, I made a quick and semi-clean version of the OP video with much better editing than what aired on Nicktoons. Yes, I put in my own credits and uploaded a purposel...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai Episodes 1-8 NickToons Talkback

As posted in the other thread, here is Vic's version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMVyNss_q4I ^I didn't do this Dammit you beat me to it! Oh well, I like Vic's, but I still like Sean's a bit better because the flow is a bit better, and the vocal performance is smoother. Vic's I liked because of t...

Re: Alternate OP for the NickToons broadcast!?

Well, screw me for doubting Vic's vocal style; I didn't cringe! It actually did sound better than Sean Schemmel's version. (I still like the Japanese version better, and I've already made the 58-second edit of the song , so I can still have Tanimoto-san open the show.) And I'm safely assuming that F...

Re: Sabat & Schemmel Video Interview

That's awesome to see that now they are handling Dragon Ball with care and they acknowledge it and see how bad their early stuff was. Sabat actually HATES that scene from Season 3 of DBZ where Piccolo fused with Nail. You know: "I can WIN! I feel GREAT! I can DO this! Ugghngh!" I watched ...

Re: Sabat & Schemmel Video Interview

I have to say this interview looks very nice so far. I'd like to learn a little bit of the insight about Kai's stateside production. Considering that any DBZ extras on FUNimation's DVDs are very few and far between -- the last being the Ultimate Uncut "Goku vs. Vegeta" featurette and the s...

Re: Eyecatches and the distraction/interruption factor

At least on the DVDs you can just sit tight and know that the "we now return to" eyecatch will immediately follow the "we'll be right back" eyecatch (in most anime series anyway). As opposed to what? How's that any different then a fade out/fade in? As opposed to a sudden blacko...

If only they got somebody with actual singing talent to sing it. Quiet, you. We don't want to incur the wrath of Vic Mignogna fans, do we? :) Although it would have been nice for the original Japanese singer to sing it in English, I kinda prefer that if it's sung in English, it is sung in pretty cl...

Re: Eyecatches and the distraction/interruption factor

I think eyecatches are supposed to be a visual/aural cue that the show is about to take (or return from) a commercial break. They're supposed to break the mood and give the viewer a breather before resuming with Act 2. The people here that complain that "eyecatches ruin the moment" are com...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai 2 DVD and Blu Ray out Sept 14

How far has the Japanese Blu-ray release of Kai gotten? (that is, up to what episodes have been released in Japan?) I think part of the reason why the 2nd stateside Kai box set is so far away is because of possible requirements that our U.S. Blu-ray release is a certain number of months since the Ja...

Re: The most epic Japanese piece of music in DBZ?

This is just me, but the most epic piece of music in DBZ has to be the piece that plays in the background after Goku turns Super Saiyan for the first time, as Goku is telling Freeza "I am the hope of the universe" in the English dub. Probably coming in second would be -- from that same epi...

Elsewhere on the Internet, some people have a less-than-diplomatic opinion about Mike's "We may not be fans of FUNimation's English dub" line in the news tidbit. While I know Mike didn't mean harm, that line really sounds back-stabby and hypocritical. When Tenshinhan's Japanese seiyuu died...

Quickly chiming in: Yay for no Faulconer/Menza soundtrack on the Dragon Box. That's the way it should be, IMO, I never could tolerate that music.

But wasn't the original Japanese audio from the Japanese Dragon Boxes redone to sound less muddy and more clear?
