Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?
It's been said before, but at best, a new dub of Z would just be the Kai dub with new performances from the current cast. There's no financial gain from a new dub of Dragon Ball Z, however, as much as we'd like it.

Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.
Wonder if CW could get Daima? Dragon Ball hasn't been on a kids channel since Vortexx shut down and they stopped airing Kai, which was nearly a decade ago. Adult Swim is not currently airing Super and they're only moving on Kai episode 9 this Saturday, so it will be a while until they get through i...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator
Dragon Ball without Toriyama will be interesting, to say the least. I do think that there's enough new content in whatever canon we have that there doesn't need to be any grand continuation past what Toriyama already planned out. I think a good comparison to this would be what had been touted as the...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
This is just a gut punch. I just don't know what else to say. His work, Dragon Ball and beyond, had such an impact on my life. When I was somewhat serious about art, I bought stuff I thought he used when making his art. Seeing everyone here pour their hearts out and tall their stories is very comfor...

Re: Is censorship still needed to keep Dragon Ball Relevant to younger people?
While I don't think it's needed to keep the series relevant, I do think there might be a market for an edited version of say Kai or Super on home video. My nephew (who is five) just got into Dragon Ball through the trading cards. He knows the characters, and I l, as the "nerdy uncle," have...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?
Like many others who have posted, I think it's possible, but not likely. Too much time has passed, and the demand for a new dub isn't that high tbh. That being said, if we were ever in a huge Dragon Ball drought, I could see Funimation doung yet another redub of the show, but it would have to be due...

Re: SAY-IN - SPECIAL BEAM CAN-IN - SUN GOKU - DESTRUCTO DISK | Why does Dragon Ball STILL suffer with these shortcomings
Like others have said, most of the Super line changes are simple rewordings that say what was said in the Japanese only slightly differently. There are, however, those that come near the olden Z days. Funimation has been playing a balancing act of being accurate while pleasing the nostalgia of the o...

Re: Will Toonami survive without new Dragon Ball Content?
Yep. Just as I thought. I can't explain the appeal of Toonami to someone who hasn't experienced it. Can't say I didn't try. I just take objection to someone telling me it's stupid to be a fan of something period. That's my entire point. I don't care what you think Toonami has done or whatever manife...

Re: Will Toonami survive without new Dragon Ball Content?
You guys may think Appointment TV is dead but the numbers say otherwise, Dragon Ball Super scored 800k viewers and was the 7th most watched thing on TV. But the BIG NUMBERS REALLY show up with Descendants which scored 4 FUCKING MILLION VIEWERS and the Steven Universe movie which also did gangbuster...

Re: Will Toonami survive without new Dragon Ball Content?
Not really the same thing. You're equating a programming block with the actual program. You have easy access to the program. It's like being nostalgic for VHS. Nothing wrong with having nostalgia, but it's a format that is long since dead for good reason. That's something you can't always get with ...

Re: Will Toonami survive without new Dragon Ball Content?
I'm seeing a kinda myopic view regarding Toonami. First off, I'm going to address the thing that really set me off. So why is this stupid and long-since antiquated children's cartoon block still relevant to anyone at this stage beyond just raw "mental time travel" nostalgia? And how sad is...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread
Yeah....while most of the changes in the past were minor....this arc seems to be making a lot of character changes such as Gokū not being concerned about Gohan, 17 being way too cocky, and now this.

And even if Funi were to lose the license, the recording is technically done at Okatron5000, so who's to say the new licensor wouldn't just outsource it to them?

Re: So how does one *correctly* hug their fans?
Going back to the OP's question, it's simple: With consent.
For example: When I recently met Brittany Karbowski, she asked if she could hug me after doing a line request.
