I'm talking about Dragon Ball Super, not Dragon Ball Z. The 'edited dub' of Super appears to have only changed the dialogue/names, leaving it up to the various broadcasters themselves to edit any problematic visuals.

What I said is that they might've gone off what 4Kids did back when they aired the show over a decade ago, then overdid it


I don't see the distinction between "based off"/"gone off" their standards and "using" their standards. My point is that they seemingly didn't have any specific channel in ...

It's like they based the censors off maybe what Nicktoons or 4kids' standards were, but then went into overdrive doing so. Like, even if a kid's network was interested in showing Super, 4Kids' block was long gone (even after it was bought by Saban when they went bankrupt), so the only kid's ...

I wonder if Toei Animation is going to let Latin America change their title to Dragon Ball Super: Bills for consistency reasons.


I wonder if Toei will insist that all dubs switch to Beerus, given that consistent romanisation seems to be a priority for them these days. E.g. there was the gradual ...

Except, they revised certain things here & there that were too stupid when taking later stuff into consideration, or was too illogical to take seriously. So, I assume they looked at the subtitle scripts they had to do so.


They wouldn't need to be checking the translation to notice plot holes or ...

I don't think they were even looking at the translations when they wrote the revised dubs, except for scenes that were never dubbed in the first place. Even the uncut Blood Rubies retains the additional dialogue seemingly added by Harmony Gold dub. Surely they were making for work for themselves by ...

I do think hair's breadth is another weird Simmons-ism, though. I've only ever seen that expression in Dragon Ball Z's subs :P


It's not an uncommon term, but I would also say that it's a little old-fashioned? As far as idioms go, it feels quite formal to me. Mind you, we're talking about a ...

ABC's version is specifically aimed at kids, so of course they're not going to want an offensive design like Mr Popo's showing up, but such obvious cropping isn't exactly a great solution. It must be a little confusing to anyone who's not aware of Mr. Popo!
Surprisingly, the UK broadcast on Pop ...

The creative intention OF THE TIME was that it would be seen on SD TVs.


Okay, but how did this effect the design/production of the show? What did they do differently compared to the animation cels used for the movies and promo images, which were essentially always available in HD?

We're not ...

this may mark the final time any Dragon Ball content airs on traditional TV in the UK or Ireland


In practice, it may as well still be on traditional TV for many, as Pop Up still has an EPG channel number and programme listings despite being IPTV rather than over-the-air. Anyone flicking through ...

Bear in mind that Disney is migrating Hulu's content to Disney+, and plans to shut down the US-only standalone Hulu app in 2026. This is probably part of the same licensing deal that just saw the 'newly remastered' original Dragon Ball appear on Hulu in the US, and both regions will probably stream ...

My understanding is that the UK's OSA is written under the assumption that all social media platforms have the kind of resources and manpower of something like Twitter, but uses a broad definition of 'social media' that includes hobbyist forums. The age verification rules are another issue (they've ...

In all honesty this will probably be the last time anything DB related gets broadcast on traditional UK TV.

I expect Daima's dub will eventually end up on BBC iPlayer.


I think there's a reasonable chance that CBBC (or BBC Three?) will air Daima on traditional TV. If anything, that would ...

Also:
- The dubbed version of Dragon Ball Super on Crunchyroll is the Adult Swim version, with abridged credit sequences and without the dub's home video revisions.

Daima's English dub inexplicably still isn't available in the UK

At this point, I'm just assuming that the BBC has it and is ...

Crunchyroll will likely have its Dragon Ball content until it goes out of business or they lose their streaming rights.


There's been a couple cases of digital Dragon Ball content 'disappearing' in the past few years. Super: Broly came with a "Funimation Digital Copy" that only lasted five years ...

Is this the version of Funi Super where Vegeta says he defeated Majin Boo in episode 2?


This is the first I've heard of that alternate line, so I don't know. It doesn't match any of the changes I found on the Pop broadcasts, which I had assumed would be missing any later revisions or ...

Given that Kix was one of Pop's sister channels, they should have a reasonable idea of how well Kai would do. Of course, the staff may not be the same now that the channel's changed owners twice, but they'll surely have the old viewing/adverting data and - more concerningly as far as the Ocean dub ...

So the dub of Dragon Ball Super was added to Crunchyroll in March 2024, but apparently they're streaming an early version that would be revised prior to the home video release - and this seems to have passed everyone by? The first 65 episodes seem to be cut for Adult Swim , as they have the ...

Anyone know the source of these (like if there were leaked or whatnot).


"Anyone up for a barbecue" etc. are from The One Piece Podcast, episode 370 Barbecue Time . The hosts talk about a VHS tape that someone from Funimation had screened for them, containing pre-4Kids One Piece 'pilot dubs ...

But then you have the Z season sets which range as low as 26 episodes for season 7 and as high as 39 episodes for season 1, depending on saga length. Really they could have done the same for the 86 anime and split the 9 “sagas” between 5 sets.


That's exactly what Manga Entertainment ended up ...
