Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

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) blamed vet...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"

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.

Re: Head of Dragon room Akio Iyoku stepped down!

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 ...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"

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.

Re: Overrated and Underrated voice actors

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 lot ...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

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.

Re: Toei is throwing uncut and improved dubs at every OLD franchise of theirs (Would you like some for Dragon Ball?)

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'...

Re: What would be the political stance of DB characters

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.

Re: Can you/would you ride on Flying Nimbus?

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.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 13; Still Unreleased

Looks like the next Anime Time Machine is tomorrow.

Can someone ask Karl Willems if he remembers working on Exosquad as an audio engineer and give a shout out to Teryl Rothery's performance as Agent Mai, who was also in Exosquad?
