Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
In any case I would strongly advise against telling anyone they are "not a Dragon Ball fan", its petty, juvenile, schoolyard bullying tactics that I think this forum should rise above. Are fans of Power Ranger "Super Sentai fans"? Are fans of Cardcaptors "Card Captor Sakura...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
This. If you're talking to some random or casual acquaintance about Dragon Ball, pronouncing Saiyan correctly and , talking about Genki Dama and Kame Sennin is just going be needlessly confusing and pretentious. My whole problem with the discrepancy between sub and dub is that using correct termino...

The guy even punched her so hard she got a nosebleed and when she called an ambulance, he tried to break into her room and fled when cops came. He doesn't mean a word he said and is just hoping to save his own ass. Jesus. I didn't even read that part. This whole thing really does get worse and wors...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
That's beyond apathy, even more so if you consider Goku is at fault for this whole mess. I'm at a total and complete loss on why this take continues to persist amongst the fandom (is it because of the one joke in DBZ Abridged's Christmas parody of Eradicate Saiyans?) Zeno was going to wipe out all ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I think the point of contention is that Goku was not characterized to such extremes for large portions of the series. Not necessarily that we want him to be mire akin to characters in other stories because we like them more. Mostly this. Goku can be a selfish, overconfident, static character who, w...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
. However, thankfully, they went back to using the original Japanese attack names in their dub (under the Crunchyroll name) of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, if I'm sure. No, they used the dub names like Special Beam Cannon and Destructo Disk in Super Super Hero. They even referred to ki as power l...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
You mentioned that this even affects the "hardcore fandom"--can a dub fan not be a hardcore fan? Is there some kind of language standard for when you're considered a "hardcore" fan versus a casual fan? I think someone who collects video releases, manga, and video games of the se...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
yamcha is a fictionnal character , furuya nothing more than a voice in db ......so you agree Furuya should be replaced as Yamcha in all future Dragon Ball projects? After all Yamcha is a fictional character and Furuya is nothing more than a voice so he's easily replacable. It shouldn't bother you i...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
The PR is already spinning it out that he's sorry and willing to atone for his mistakes. If he's genuinely sorry and willing to atone then he should have no issue with facing the consequences of his actions. But I doubt that's genuine. It comes off more like "I said I'm sorry and willing to at...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
Most of the English speaking fandom were exposed to the English dub so that's what they're used to and that's what they use for names and terminlogy. It ain't that complex. TrunksTrevlyan does bring up a good point of the video games influence. Most English Dragon Ball fans seem way more intimately ...

So before all the defenders and apologetics come out let's make it clear this man was in his late 60's when this all happened. This wasn't something that happened when he was an angsty hormonal teenager.

Re: Do Toei no longer license Z to broadcasters in favour of Kai?
Isn't it more on the licensees than Toei when it comes to Dragon Ball content getting broadcast on television? Nicktoons had no problem getting Dragon Ball GT and some Z movies from Funimation while Kai was hot. I know Toonami aired the remasted Cooler's Revenge and Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan ...

Re: Funimation's acknowledgement of Ocean's tenure on the show.

As MasenkoHA also pointed out Funimation probably don't want to keep having to pay Bruce Faulconer royalties (which he doesn't deserve), which they would need to do on a constant basis if they were to allow their dub be aired as a nostalgic event. Although the obvious solution for that would be to ...
