Re: The reason Goku stayed dead that no one talks about

Attracting foes Which was not a bad reason for his decision. Gohan being stronger than him Sure, but that was bound to not last since fighting was never a priority for Gohan. wanting to fight strong guys I think this was Goku's main motivating factor his Saiyan nature being a risk Maybe, but Goku w...

The "Lost Remaster" of Blue Water Dragon Ball

For obvious reasons I won't link it here, although if anyone is interested I can point you in the right direction by DMs. Basically on a certain site many people here are no doubt familiar with I found a rather nice sync of the first 13 episodes of the Canadian dub of Dragon Ball by Blue Water Studi...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

The new dub will be for those who hate FUNimation's dubs of DBZ ( in a similar fashion to the Ocean/Westwood dub ) That's a myth, there's never been any proof that the Westwood dub was created to serve the people who hated Funimation's dub. Canada was airing Funimation's Z dub until episode 167/182...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

At the very least, for quality control reasons, they should have done a complete redub of the Ginyu, Frieza, and Garlic Jr sagas. Use the old 1999 scripts as a base to save money if they want but get rid of the more cringe dialog and fix the most egregious errors and have the entire cast completely...

Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball

I agree with the overall premise of this post. I've never found "who could beat who in a fight" post particularly interesting in the first place. I find conversations that leen more on the narrative significance of a character's strength or transformations more interesting. I don't care t...

...Which then means there is nothing to discuss about, besides sparring matches between the Z-Fighters and ranking them proper. There's plenty to talk about aside from current in-universe stuff. Conversations about whose stronger than who inevitably become tiresome because we can only make educated...

We all fall out of things we love now and again, don't feel any shame in it Kappa . Dragon Ball has been with me too long for me to ever truly lose interest. At times I need to take a break and indulge in other hobbies and interests, but it will never completely go away for me. I'll always be thinki...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

Yup, Kai is pretty much as good as it gets when it comes to any prospects of the Saiyan, Freeza, artificial human or Boo arcs being redubbed. It was the single chance and one-off excuse TOEI could ever Funimation. Now of course you could argue there was never anything stopping Funimation from taking...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

I'd be satisfied with just a redub of the original Dragon Ball, but that will never happen unless there's a Kai recut. Yeah, for original Dragon Ball I was going to say there's the Blue Water dub, but I guess you mentioned that option for GT and you did a Dragon Box sync so your aware its available...

Re: Discord group video call on "Your hopes and fears for the future of the Dragon Ball license" - Saturday April 20, 20

Yes indeed. I said I'll respect anyone's wishes if they don't want their voices recorded. The same applies for being on video. There's no need if anyone is uncomfortable with that, and if they would prefer to just join with video that's perfectly fine too. Also sangofe has suggested a new summary of...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

I don't understand why those who hated FUNimation's 1999-2003 DBZ dub (or their Ultimate Uncut dub from 2005) don't want a redub of the entire DBZ series. I'm sure they do, but they're in the minority, I'd go as far as to say the vast minority. I think the fact we've had so many threads about a red...

Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy

If people want an English dub that uses the correct pronunciation the only options available or that they will almost certainly ever have are the Filipino Creative Corp Product dub and the Big Green dub of the GT special. The former was pre-Funimation and the latter ironically was probably Pan's act...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

Actually, no, I agree the situations seem SIMILAR but there is a huge difference. What the Netflix Evangelion does IS NOT BEING FAITHFUL. It is just putting the sub lines with ZERO adaptation onto a dub, which SEEMS more faithful but actually isnt. And Demon Rin, a great user here and Twitter User ...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

I think anyone who is hoping for this pipe dream should look to the Netflix dub of Evangelion. Its more faithful than the ADV dub in every way, but most people who want that will just watch it in Japanese and most fans who want it dubbed are content with the old ADV dub. There was literally no perce...

I always refer to TheBlackPaladin 's word that there was trouble behind the scenes: For whatever it's worth, I'm friends/friendly acquaintances in real life with a few of the actors involved in the Bang-Zoom dub, as I'm an LA-based voice actor myself (albeit not a famous one, as my work is mostly co...

It wouldn't be necessary, because, as stated unlike the Sailor Moon example Dragon Ball Z has a complete, uncut English dub. Even with its flaws it satisfies what the vast majority of fans want in an English dub, that much is clear because its so adamantly defended to this day. TOEI are not going to...

Tate Naoki and his work on Dragon Ball Super: Broli is easily my favorite in the franchise.

The manner in which his characters move have so much per...
