"Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

No banning? They just got straight up Zen-Oh erased!

Anyway we get that sparring match tomorrow! Should be exciting!

Also Marchi was the teacher. Interesting. Could of sworn that was Colleen! Speaking of, anyone impressed with her Mai? Really good! Very nuanced from her previous roles in the series.

Well, Colleen's been voicing Mai as a kid ever since 2013, so I don't know why some people I've seen were surprised by that, unless they expected her original voice actress, Julie Franklin, to resume the role, but she hasn't been in anything since GT.

I don't Julie Franklin would have fit for this version of Mai anyway, she worked for the 40 year old Mai. Colleen is doing a great job.

I never said who was better, just that it shouldn't surprise anyone that Colleen's her voice actress passed her kid age now.

You don't wanna know, I'll just say that. Thankfully, looks like it's been handled.

Now I gotta know. Someone fill me in?

Basically, the guy got banned for saying things to the admin that he shouldn't have. Not surprising, considering his general attitude on this forum, really.

i think the problem is the site and not this user. you cant say anything here. its like a dictatorship. you cant even write a short comment. everything you do is wrong for the moderators. they are dictators and this site is 1984 for them. they want every user to write a scroll in each comment. anyone saying anything bad about the series is getting banned. memes arnt allowed. this place is terrible.

[Cure Dragon 255]

God please stop being a drama llama. That guy was a major jerk and he was warned repeatedly and refused to listen. Why are you defending him like that?

If its so terrible then why are you still here? Since when are memes not allowed? If you think the moderators don't make fun of the series then you obviously don't listen to the podcast or follow them on social media, because they do constantly. The hell are you on about?

no he wasent. he was simpely saying his opinion. it is the moderators who are the problem not him. in any other forum nobody would say a thing to him. but here it is not allowed to say something that isnt popular. the moderators of this forums are dictators. they hate free speech. they would be great leaders of a commuinist shithole. this is their style.

Saying that peoples opinions are being filtered on this site is completely asinine, one of the best things about this site is the massive diversity of opinions and views. The reason users like Puar get banned(or in their case, deleted from existence), is because they don't follow or repeatedly break the rules relating to tone and emphasis when posting. There is no need to accuse the moderators of being communist dictators, and there is nothing that really incites such a response.

You have two formal warnings:

One for repeatedly posting low-effort contributions in all-caps despite multiple free warnings (15 infractions!). The other for, and I quote:

Look at the butthurt loser get triggerd. It has everything to do with the thread you troll loser

There is demonstrably no issue with any moderation carried out involving your posts. Stop playing the victim.

If you cannot act like a reasonable and mature person, and follow some very easy rules, then please do leave. Nobody's holding you hostage.

Nah, the mods are pretty cool and you have to really fuck up, before they boot you out, hell we once had a situation, where a user called Mike a lady and generally criticized him for the way he ran this board, but instead of getting instantly banned like a true dictatorship would have done, Mike turned the criticism into a joke rule, that he was indeed a lady and a terrible admin.
The fact, that puar got wiped from the forums completely suggests he really screwed up, rather than the mods being too tough and this being like a dictatorship, because there are several steps before even getting to that point.

[Scsigs]

no he wasn't. he was simply saying his opinion. it is the moderators who are the problem not him. in any other forum nobody would say a thing to him. but here it is not allowed to say something that isn't popular. the moderators of this forums are dictators. they hate free speech. they would be great leaders of a communist shithole. this is their style.

Considering how you both type & that you seem to think similarly to him, it's not a wonder you defend him. Considering Puar was a guy who constantly lashed out against people with other opinions, & was insistent on his opinions being the only ones that mattered, then was surprised that he was on the verge of being suspended. He then poked the bear by saying, as I've been told, "fuck off you fucking fascist" to a moderator, and now I bet he's wherever he is spouting that he was unfairly & unjustly banned from here, despite the evidence.

The mods are actually pretty lenient a lot of the time over what can be said here. They just don't appreciate people who come to just spout opinions & don't allow anyone else's opinions to make sense to them. Puar's most recent opinions showcase this in that he didn't like Sean Schemmel's Goku Black, which is fair enough, opinions be opinions & he has a minority one, but his reasoning didn't make any sense. He was apparently expecting a more obvious shift in Schemmel's voice like Nozawa, which was completely stupid to do because, for one, Schemmel doesn't take a lot of influence from her &, two, his voice & performance are very different from hers. The voice Sean gives him now is a great one & one I expected from the start. We'll see how the accent thing plays out (though not all of us are looking forward to it), but right now it's really good. All of this was explained to him, but he blatantly ignored those of us who pointed it out to him, or wrote us off as wrong, despite all of that being opinion based...it's just that our opinions were based on facts, observations, & realism. The best he could come up with is that it's not different from his regular Goku performance, which isn't entirely true if you actually listen to both of them & several of us pointed that out to him, but he wouldn't listen. The mods didn't remove his posts or ban him.
Hell, I've made posts making fun of Masako Nozawa as Goku in Japan & they didn't ban ME, considering they might have a bias towards the Japanese dub, which I understand, but I think some of them might understand why someone wouldn't care for her voice as Goku, or at least acknowledge that not everyone would like her if they heard her. Personally, I'm surprised he didn't at least get a warning from a mod to post any grievances he has with Team Four Staar in their forum rather than this one, but it's all come to a head with his ban.

It seems like there’s a different standard between moderators. Some will give you strikes, others will ban you on your first offense. I know Nameksaiyan got banned for something silly. He was never known for posting anything aggressive and then *Poof*. He’s banned. Whereas I see somebody here talk crap and get multiple slaps on the wrist. It’s kinda silly really. Everybody needs to be at the same standard.

The episode airing today, had the Japanese OP instead of the Engrish one.

[Scsigs]

Huh. They switched back to the Japanese version of the theme song for some reason.

[AzuraRacon]

Not specifically a funimation thing, but Toonami's switched back to the Japanese lyrics of Chouzetsu Dynamic this week

[Footlong Shoe]

The episode airing today, had the Japanese OP instead of the Engrish one.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty interesting. I guess they figure since they don't put the English version on the Blu-rays, why use it? Also isn't this the first episode to use the fifth ending?

[Scsigs]

Why do they pronounce it "Capsule Core" now? Hasn't it always been consistently pronounced with the "p" at the end of the word?

Also, just thought of this, but is Future Bulma's book a reference to the River Song/Doctor ones in Doctor Who, or is that just a coincidence?

Also, I just love how they pepper in Goku saying "dude." Won't use "ain't," or "Son," but "dude." I find that just hilarious.

Nope that's the next episode and Forever Dreaming was still in English in this episode

Yeah it was always Corp until the other week when the Future Trunks saga started. Core would make more sense if it was Capsule Corps. I notice they also pronounce Shu as Shou now, when it was always Shu in Dragon Ball.

[Scsigs]

I mean, with "Shou," maybe it could be for making up for mispronouncing it in DB, but that depends on if they pronounce it like that in Japanese. Do they? I mean, it's a more Chinese way of pronouncing the name, I think, but is it the same in Japan?
"Corp" doesn't make any sense to pronounce "core" unless there's an "s" at the end as you said. Since in-universe it's never been romanized with the "s," this doesn't make any sense, clearly. I'm really questioning some of the direction choices Sabat's making. Sadly, this isn't the first FUNi dub to make pronunciation changes for some reason that doesn't make any sense. One Piece, starting at the Thriller Bark Arc, made some weird direction decisions. Mainly in pronouncing some words more like a Japanese person would, like "samurai" sounding like "saumurai" instead. It's a decision first made, I believe, in Attack on Titan's dub, where they pronounced things more like a German person word, yet in that dub, it at least made sense, given the setting & words involved. Both of those dubs are mainly directed & produced by Mike MacFarlane, so I wonder if he talked to Sabat about those.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

Anyone else found it weird when both Trunks and Goku called Black "Goku Black" rather than just "Black" at the end of the episode? I don't think they ever called him by his full name in Japanese.
