Re: Recasts that ended up being better than the original
I guess if we're mentioning Funi Kai recasts then the OP would define the "original" as the original cast of a company's dub, not in the language in general. I was mentioning Harmony Gold and Creative Corp Product actors because they are both English dubs and predate Funimation's dubs of D...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?
Exactly. I'd say also Roshi being flushed down the toilet should be kept, although problem is the rest of that scene would probably need to be retained to explain that.Cure Dragon 255 wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 12:50 am I think DBI meant, its okay to cut the sexual humor but that keeping the scenes where Roshi gets punched is great.

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?
I'm okay with the sexual humour being cut, as much as I love original Dragon Ball a lot of it hasn't aged well, particularly the stuff with Roshi. I'm so happy everytime someone gives him a smack, especially a woman like Bulma.

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai
I dunno, I haven't heard anyone believe the Toonzai edit was the default in like 10 years . It definitely was a problem early on in Kai's run but with Toonami running unaltered Kai for a a good decade it seems everyone is up to speed that Kai was not made with Blue Popo and sparkle splosions in min...

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai
For me personally, watching Z's dub without the Faulconer score would defeat the purpose, so if Crunchyroll were my only option I'd more likely choose Kai. The Faulconer score isn't available on Crunchyroll afterall. On the other hand, newer fans are less likely to even be aware of its existence, s...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with something being an acquired taste. I found it weird to begin with, never heard any adult male voiced like that but I wasn't used to Japanese voice acting. Obviously the more I watched the more it grew on me. I do wish western voice acting used women for adult males o...

Kanzenshuu is just becoming more and more of an inclusive community.

Cartoon Network & Adult Swim Airings
Taking inspiration from Tian 's wonderful thread I thought why not do one for the other iconic kids channel many of us grew up with - Cartoon Network, as well as Adult Swim. I'll always have a soft spot for our own Cartoon Network as it was from 1993 to 2005/6, it all went downhill after that point ...

Re: Recasts that ended up being better than the original
Not in the Japanese, but there are a few in English: Ian James Corlett was better than Nesty Calvo Ramirez as adult Goku from what I've heard of the latter I preferred Lalainia Lindbjerg to Wendy Lee as Bulma Alistair Abell over Eric Vale as Future Trunks (Westwood eventually caught up with Funimati...

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai
They did air on Nicktoons USA, it probably passed you by since those are not Dragon Ball Shows. I can even show you the promos. Yu Gi Oh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl4Y82jl1XE Ah fair enough, that passed me by so. I do have fond memories of the UK Nickelodeon broadcasts. They used to air Yu-Gi...

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai
Even shows that were legit big hits like Digimon Adventure and OG Yu Gi Oh had terrible viewership . Do you mean original Yu-Gi-Oh on the UK Nickelodeon? I don't recall it airing on any of Nick's channels in the US, I always thought it did well here though. On the US side I can't imagine it did wel...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
What silly Dragon Ball reference do you incorporate into your daily/weekly routine? I'll start: I always buy 7 apples at the supermarket. Anytime I have to figure out when there's an absurdly large number for something I drop an "Over 9,000" (if it is that) to see if anyone gets it. Sadly...

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai
Actually, they did, Dragon Ball GT flopped so hard that it destroyed any good will the Dragon Ball franchise had on Nicktoons and along with it any other anime. Nicktoons started to hate anime because GT was such a failure. Oh yeah, I remember you saying that. I was thinking more along the lines I'...

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai
Sorry, didn't mean to be such a downer. If a new fan wants to experience the show with no broadcast, what do they go with? I'd probably still say Kai. Don't think even the more iconic branding would convince them to go for Z over Kai, besides internationally its labelled as "Dragon Ball Z Kai&q...

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai
I'd guess it would be Dragon Ball Kai because the current generation raised on TikTok, Youtube shorts and "influencers" love their instant gratification. Sadly I don't know any stories of someone who did get into the series recently, young or old. Dragon Ball Z is a tough sell between havi...
