Kanzenshuu

Christopher Sabat said in a podcast once that Funimation didn't even have the original Japanese masters from Toei, they had to use the Spanish dub to base their own translation.

And a lot of this is nitpicking tbh. Who cares if his name is Tien Shinhan as opposed to Tenshinhan?

I like how literally everyone's giving answers as it's lack of impact being some indictment of the quality of the show, when the reality is that most fans of Dragon Ball Z anywhere outside of Japan just simply haven't seen it yet because it isn't officially released in their language and easily ...

He did effortlessly overpower Vegeta's Galick Gun. Vegeta had to use his strongest attack against him and even then Magetta was able to hold it off briefly before it hit him and didn't really hurt him all that much.

He's very durable and he has a lot of firepower. Can't fly though.
I think it ...

This is coming from my film-snob side
Well, at least you're self aware, thinking someone enjoying a cartoon in their native language makes them an idiot and less enlightened than you are, even while fully admitting you only like the franchise because you saw a dub, is a sure mark of a snob.

P.S ...

It's not a weeb thing to suggest that maintaining the original performances in film is immensely important.

Preferring the original Japanese cast is one thing, but that's not at all what he said

The idea of communities of functioning adults so opposed to reading they want the audio of their ...

That's you
Let's not resort to pre-packaged meme insults, especially not one as dumb as "weaboo"

When someone passively aggressively attacking dub fans and questioning their intelligence for not watching muh superior japanese dub, calling someone a weeb with a prepackaged copypasta is an ...

The idea of communities of functioning adults so opposed to reading they want the audio of their foreign entertainment replaced for them being so large they're actually able to support an entire industry is absolutely ridiculous. You'd get laughed out of any company for even seriously suggesting ...

Kaioshin doesn't kill Freeza because he is not a real threat to the universe, contrary to Boo. And is the same for the Androids.
There is no one plot hole.
Honestly, I don't even believe Supreme Kai is stronger than Freeza. Maybe his early forms, sure, but he was scared of characters like PuiPui ...

base Vegetto was curbstomping Super Buu (if we're taking the anime into account) and he didn't even need to go SSJ, he was just showing off.

If Gotenks, made from two child super saiyans, could go SSJ3, I'm certain Vegetto could as well, and I think a SSJ3 Vegetto could have been stronger than an ...

Resurrection F made a shit ton of money in America. Super hasn't had a "cultural impact" because it's only aired in Japan. Dragon Ball is as popular as it ever was.

I'll never defend Grandma Freeza or the excessive censorship in the early dub, but I generally prefer Dragon Ball in English, though I admit that's a bias due to growing up watching Z on Toonami. I like a lot of the puns and added humor, too, as corny as they are. I find a bunch of bad puns and ...
