Re: The "power" of the German dub
You're a kid from X country which didn't have the luck to have Dragon Ball localized or had the bad luck to have an awful localization, you get home from school and tune in Dragon Ball on RTL II, and even though you don't understand German, you enjoy it anyway. Yeah, and as we discussed in DMs when...

Re: ME TOONS CONFIRMED! (SPEED RACER IN THE LINE UP)
The only thing I sorta object to was the whole "1 bedroom" thing, its not millenials fault that the previous generations absolutely NUKED Millenials chance of getting good homes , but realized it was criticized millenials who DONT worry about that. That's a good point, I wonder if the rea...

Re: Did Fuji TV air the original Dragon Ball anime completely uncensored?
Just to put it out there- The Dragon Ball anime itself toned down some of the more graphic violence from the manga so it was censored to a degree. Conversely there are also anime scenes more brutal than the manga, such as the shot of Goku and Raditz after Piccolo launched the Makankōsappō. https://...

Re: Piccolo-san-daisuki! In different languages
I wonder why the Norwegian dub got an instrumental though? From what I understand the Scandinavian movie and special dubs are just cheap Big Green dub (which we all know how low budget that was itself) knockoffs in the respective languages, so it seems weird they would have been able to get differen...

Re: Piccolo-san-daisuki! In different languages
Update I found that Valencian Basque And Galcan dubed it to Think that's it, most other dubs just left it as-is, or in the case of the Funimation, Spanish, Norwegian and Portuguese dubs had an instrumental, which kinda sucks as it takes away the charm. The Portuguese dub has Gohan screaming "Y...

Re: ME TOONS CONFIRMED! (SPEED RACER IN THE LINE UP)
The former only aired for like a week at 330 pm when the target audience was in school and only in certain locations Actually come to think of it are US schools open the week of January 1st-5th? That was the week WGPR and WGBS aired original Dragon Ball. Otherwise I take your point about both broad...

Dragon Ball DVDs and Blu-Rays now available from Ireland's Golden Discs
Doubt there would much interest in this as I'm one of the very few Irish Kanzenshuuers, and Amazon prices were going to be better anyway, but I probably owe it to myself given my name to report on this. The Irish physical media chain Golden Discs is now selling anime DVD and Blu-Rays again, and yes ...

Well, it turns out that's not a problem after all. XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN is airing too and that just aint from the 60's y'know.

Re: ME TOONS CONFIRMED! (SPEED RACER IN THE LINE UP)
A certain anime cartoon that didn't start airing until the late 90s in the U.S? Actually neither original Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z premiered in the US in the late 90s. For the former we obviously have the 1989/90 Harmony Gold dub and for the latter Nippon Golden Network began airing it, albeit ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Can anyone confirm for me the quality of the Selecta Vision DBGT set? I've heard it's essentially the Dragon Box transfer with the broadcast audio in a few episodes (by accident), but I'd just like to double-check instead of buying it blindly. Unable to find any solid info about it online, or video...

Re: Did Fuji TV air the original Dragon Ball anime completely uncensored?
You better believe they did, TOEI didn't see the home video market as viable for the Dragon Ball TV series until 2003 when the DVD format was booming worldwide, and likely saw no need to create two versions. Moreover, Japanese TV being more lax gave them less reason to do so. Even today the only dif...

Re: Official "Show off your Dragonball Crap" Thread
I wouldn't sell them, not for the outrageous prices people sell boxes 2 and 4 for (several hundred at least) as its a massive disservice to the fandom. Anyone who pays that is being ripped off. I got boxes 5-7 for maybe $60-100 but resold them for about the same price when I realised I would never ...

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
I mean this Blu-Ray is a variant of the Dragon Box, just with AI upscaling, and no one expected it to look as good as it does or include the broadcast audio. Anyone who exprcted the latter prior to its release would have had the "copium" card thrown at them, but here we are. One thing Drag...

The Blue Bricks seem out of print though. Glad I bought them at $20 a pop Hmmm that's suspicious. I thought Crunchyroll wasn't going to care enough about original Dragon Ball to give it the reprint-with-our-own-branding treatment, but maybe now that's what they're planning, or perhaps they think an...

Re: Did Any Japanese Voices Get Better?
Of course, in stark contrast to the JP cast, the majority of whom had already accrued a rather stacked resume by that point (lots of them were even in Toei contemporaries of similar stature). Yeah, Masako Nozawa was 49 when she started playing Goku and played a load of characters in shows from the ...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 14; Still Unreleased
No problem dbzforeverUK . Crunchyroll can't do anything and isn't going to do anything. Toei can't make uninterested Canadian networks air a show that's about to be 3 series out of date. Best hope at this point is Toei dumps it off on Tubi or PlutoTV Poland just got Kai on TV for the first time ever...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?
Ironically this was the end of Nicktoons treating anime with any sort of respect. GT flopped so badly after Kai had done SO WELL (Along with airing the Z movies) that they treated anime like FUCKING DIRT afterwards. And keep in mind Super was NOT A THING at that point. Neither was The Final Chapter...
