Yeah, I noticed I put this in the wrong thread. But I guess I felt since they gave the dub top marks, it kinda speaks well for how much the FUNimation dub has come a long way and I can only imagine it being better in Super. But, yeah. I'll take this to the Kai TFC thread.

If they are dubbing the Black arc currently then I guess it will be in stages like he is probably doing all normal Goku first.
Why would I not like that he's trying to voice-match Marsters? I think that's a brilliant idea. Get a feel down for how Marsters talks, then influence that in his delivery for Black. Schemmel's been doing it for years with Sabat's Vegeta when they do Vegito, look at the Kai TFC dub of Vegito's scenes (looking forward to even more of that dub greatness in the future) for instance. I SO hope that the voice evolves from both the gravel & the British accent, since neither make any sense in context of the show. Even if it's Schemmel influencing more of a Marsters tone with his delivery, I'm opening to anything else for the most part.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Who's gonna skip today's Dub episode and not watch it at all? Because I know I am. And I know for a fact that the return of Super Saiyan God is gonna be far more entertaining than some boring clip show episode.

I'm actually watching the dub episode right now :lol: :lol: :lol: And...It's fine so far, like the Narrator stuff they did and Kuririn's flashback moment.

I forgot they moved the second airing from 11:30 to 11:00 and I missed it. Oh well, at least they're doing reruns now, so I can catch it next week!

Don't worry, I've already seen the episode in Japanese, so I know it wasn't all that special. I'm just trying to keep up with the dub.

Hey, this episode is worth it for Goku pissing off the Narrator alone.

This episode was not bad, not bad at all. Schemmel and Goku just rock every scene they are in and like OmegaRockman said Goku vs Narrator was the most hilarious thing ever :lol: Krillin doing impressions of everyone was also up there! And the end with Goku and Vegeta was also brilliant :) Next week is my favourite episode of the arc, can't wait!!

I love FUNi, but why they put Super on a Simuldub trailer is beyond me.
It is a Simulcast, not a simuldub. I will say that the first trailer never actually said Simuldub at any point.

This one is blatant though - all the shows on this trailer are genuine Simuldubs, apart from Super.
There's no excuse for what they're doing here, if they are classing the toonami airing as a Simuldub (which by their own classification it isn't, as they set the ruling a Simuldub is a show that airs within two weeks of Japan) they have said before, when in reference to Simuldubs on their blog that "the Super dub continues on Toonami", so they don't class it as a Simuldub. Then why is it on that trailer, and why show footage from the latest Arc? show where the dub currently is on toonami.

If Sean Schemmel only does the Rose voice for Goku Black, and completely abandon the Base voice, I'd be really down for that even though Scsigs would hate that. Because to be honest, that voice is the closest to sounding like James Marsters' Zamasu. Also because (Imitating Rose Goku Black) it just sounds beautiful!

Probably because Sabat thinks his narrator voice doesn't fit anymore.

Well, the narrator is supposed to sound like a wise old man not some rock concert announcer. Doc Morgan as Narrator is the best re-casting alongside Ayres as Freeza.
