Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 14; Still Unreleased
Yes, the Dragon Ball anime is ultimately TOEI's property but this Kai dub belongs to Ocean, they are the ones who produced it, its up to them to get it out (which sadly hasn't been the case yet). I don't see why Crunchyroll should be against getting this dub released, they created a separate English...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 14; Still Unreleased
Doesn’t matter how it done but using contacts like Lisa Yamamoto to confirm what fans would need to do to get Toei’s attention or Andy Hanley to see if he could push for it on our behalf. Regarding Andy Hanley, for those of you that don't know he's the marketing guy at the UK's largest boutique ani...

Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray
TOEI also released One Piece on SD Blu-Ray. Although I believe it's cropped to 16:9, so not promising if we're ever going to hold out for them releasing Dragon Ball on the format. I'm still skeptical about them taking their time to do it right, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised and they will come ...

Re: Rank your favorite voice casts
As far as acting goes I would go far as saying for the most part it was actually worse in the Cell saga. Saffron Henderson and Jillian Michaels are infinity more tolerable than Stephanie Nadolny's Son Started Chainsmoking at 3 years old Gohan. Chris Sabat's Piccolo still sounded like a moron and hi...

Re: Rank your favorite voice casts
. This is attributed to the horrible voice direction of the Westwood dub since they're trying to copy the scripts and dialogue of the FUNimation dub but with child-friendly edits to eliminate any references to death or hell from those scripts, much like the Ocean/Saban dub (although this practice i...

Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray

I'm not surprised they sold well, they started being released in 2007 when DVD was still massive and I'm sure a lot of Japanese fans were delighted to finally be able to collect the seri...

Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray
It's really baffling that Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT, hasn't got a Blu-ray release in Japan. Movies has been available on Blu-ray, despite some editing on certain movies, but not the TV series. Pretty much almost every major anime has gotten Blu-ray (HD remastered or SD-upscale)...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?
It's everyone's prerogative how many episodes or how many minutes into episode 1 a show has to prove itself, but the onus is on the fan of said show to give those they are recommending it for good reason why its worth sticking around for however long the show takes to "get good". For the s...

Re: The reason Goku stayed dead that no one talks about
Well, No, because ultimately Trunks creates an entire parallel universe where Zamasu is stopped from causing any harm. So he still suceeds in creating a peaceful world, so it's a positive ending. Just like at the end of the Cell arc when he returns to the future to stop the androids, thusly restori...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?
I've got a bit further in One Piece (like 150ish episodes) and do intend to one day see the entire series (even if that's by the time I retire) but I agree telling people it gets good after several hundred episodes is absurd. I don't know if some of the One Piece fandom even realize that's giving th...

Re: The reason Goku stayed dead that no one talks about
Furthermore, it's OOC for Goku to suddenly care about the Earth, when he was willing to doom the entire Universe in the next arc just to have a good fight with Kid Buu. I'd actually say it's quite clear from early on Goku cares a lot about the Earth. In the Pilaf arc (and to an extent the Red Ribbo...

Re: Interesting coincidences between dubs
True, although the Big Green dubs were out on VHS/DVD long before that episode aired. They were, but I think it's pretty safe to put this down as a coincidence considering the Blue Water scripts were done by Canadian writers who may have liked the series but were not intimately familiar with it. Th...

Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.
Physical Media has its uses that streaming doesn't provide (namely you own it). There really isn't anything cable provides that you don't get from streaming. I wouldn't really compare the two. As someone that owns hundreds of DVDs and Blu-Rays, and has easily spent four figures on Dragon Ball relea...

Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.
I think linear TV is going the way of physical media, it will still exist but be more for traditionalists.
Super got better ratings on Pop in 2019 than Kai did in 2012-14 on Kix, so it can still have a resurgence now and then.

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 it...

Piccolo being called "Big Green" in the Big Green dub, and then in Funimation's Season 1 redub Gohan refers to Piccolo as being "like my big green uncle". Don't forget in Blue Water Dragon Ball episode 113 there was that one guard who said "We have a situation here; a big g...
