Someone tweeted me that Tom Baur voices Tagoma in this dub & wanted me to relay that info to those who care on here.

Don't know why me specifically, but message delivered, I guess. Do with that what you will.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Judging by the date on Erholtz' tweet with the picture, it seems like episodes for the dub are recorded just a few weeks before airing. That may be explain the shoddy quality like poor scriptwriting and mixing. Judging by Daman Mills' understudy lines that he did for Frieza in the FUNi dub for Episodes 26 and 27, and the time when Ayres first went into the hospital, the FUNi dub episodes are recorded 3 to 5 months before they air. I understand that both sides are going to need different scheduling due to how their respective channels show the show in the first place, but that type of rushed production on Bang Zoom's side isn't good

It kind of does sound like Tockar's Half-Life. Both would be great voices for Cobra Commander and Starscream.

I really don't think this dub was intended as a serious competitor to Funimation's version. It was most likely commissioned by TOEI to make up for some of the revenue lost by a delayed English dub as was the case with Kai 2.0. The episodes are most likely made to be adequate and give Super airtime in English-speaking countries. Although with the Funimation dub out and doing well that seems like a moot point. I'm still happy to watch along as I enjoy comparing dubs and hearing different takes on the same characters.

The dub was commissioned by Cartoon Network's parent company Turner. I would guess they did it to have a Super dub under their full egal control that could be shown in any region anytime without going through a middle man.

This whole situation more or less is due to a lack of communication between Toei branches and or poor planning. Toonami Asia were originally supposed to air July 16 but that didn't happen cuz Toei USA and FUNi hadn't struck a deal yet thus no dub to air so Turner had a mess on their hands they and or the responsible Toei branch probably went around looking for another dubbing company and presumably that's where they contracted BZ then surprise surprise that would take time and Toonami Asia finally aired in Jan 17 but guess what in between all that FUNi licensed the show and also aired in January as we all know... Well done Toei gg.

FUNi was never involved with the Toonami Asia dub, they denied any involvement with it back when it was first announced. They probably wanted FUNi's dub to be the English language premiere rather than BZ's so that's probably why production on the dub and the initial premiere date were pushed back

It really goes to show TOEI dug themselves into a hole by insisting on TV deals for everything and not moving with the times. If they looked at other options Funimation could have had their dub of The Final Chapters out sooner, which would by extension mean less time and hassle for them licensing Super and Turner being able to sell their dub to Toonami Asia.

Nonetheless, I have few problems with this dub and enjoy it for what it, and especially things like McConnohie's King Kai so maybe there are redeeming aspects of TOEI's short-sightedness.

Looks like we found out who's the voice director for this dub. It's Julie Kliewer, better known as Julie Maddalena.

Not as far as I know. It's a shame, too, because I rather enjoyed this dub even if I prefer the Funimation version. Lang was really starting to get better as Goku IMO and I really wanted to hear Prince's take on Freeza.

CNI pulled it off air after episode 9 it seems, It was pretty much expected since there was absolutely no advertising done for it and they even aired it in place of other programme..
It might return to CNI but this time properly, Till then we have to wait I guess!!

Toon Anime India just said on their Facebook page Dragon Ball Super is back airing on weekends with 2 episodes a day, they didn't specify which dub it is but said that any new episodes of the Bang Zoom dub will be recorded as they air.
