I've lost all faith in this dub ever coming out.

Sure, it would have been nice to hear Drummond and McNeil again, and even Carol Anne Day as Bulma, but the chances of this ever coming out are so, so, so SLIM.

I find Nadolny's Gohan less insufferable since she doesn't try to sound like a kid who grew up in the wild with that weird cadence in her voice.

And no, it wasn't hyperbole to say she was one of the worst. She's awful and dealing with her as the main character compounded the problem. Her ...

Jesus fucking Christ...

Thank you for everything, Toriyama-sensei.

What the fuck does capitalism have to do with Dragon Ball?


capitalism is why dragon ball super was greenlit only three months before it aired, and fucked over one of Toei Animation's best directors from the very beginning.

hell, capitalism is why a producer (pretty sure it was Hayashida ...

What the fuck does capitalism have to do with Dragon Ball?

If Toei wanted a good dub, they should have contacted Viz to do it.

But due to nepotism, Funimation got it.

Nice that they improved on their acting abilities, but if they were unable to afford experienced people back in 1999, maybe they shouldn't have gotten the rights to it in the first place.

I'm sorry, but I can't agree. Art does have owners--the people who thought of it. In my opinion, it's so naive to try to take someone's creativity away from them. People make a living off of their art--they feed their families with it. Not just anyone makes millions--it takes exceptional talent to ...

I could see Rika Matsumoto, Megumi Ogata and Romi Park being good replacements.

Restore the environment that was destroyed by greedy people.

Justin Cook's Super Buu sounds like some poor attempt at sounding like a pro wrestler.

Well, the people who defend the humor in the Funimation dubs of Dragon Ball media also defend the adlibbing, and the swearing in YYH.

To them, the swearing and crass humor of Yusuke means that Funimation somehow understood the source material better than the guys who made the anime.

I'd say the Ocean dub actors are quite underrated.


I think there's a segment of the fandom that underrates them, mainly Funimation purists who weren't around pre-season 3 and became so attached to the Texas cast anything else to them sounds odd or jarring. On the other hand I think there are a ...

Like where? In the US?

In other places like in Europe and Japan, it IS extremely popular.

I'm sure Americans do like the original series, but not as much as Z, because it's more adventure than action.

Like that's ever gonna happen.

Funi will continue to make liberties with their dubs for Dragon Ball and for other shows. Throwing stupid pop culture and Gamergate references in there, with ridiculous sounding voices for some of the characters. The Kai dub itself wasn't immune to liberties, as there ...

Sure, Batman hates guns and wouldn't kill someone, but overall, he's pretty cynical and doesn't trust anyone, with the exception of Gordon and Alfred.

Someone that cynical doesn't strike me as political.

I wouldn't know.

Probably not, because I don't believe in a pure hearted person. Dolly Parton is probably the exception. She's a real-life angel.

Goku is like Batman, he'd be apolitical, AKA, doesn't give a shit about politics.

Pay SAG-AFTRA, you damn studios!

The Portuguese dub.

Only 5 or 6 actors worked on it.
