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.

Re: Toonami Rewind airing Dragon Ball Z....Kai?
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 ...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
I'd have to imagine Toonami choosing to air Kai over Z in recent years has to do with efficiency. Their 1st run of Kai was only 1 episode per week. If they'd chosen to rerun all of Z like that in 2015, the filler would've killed the ratings. Kai got to the big moments much faster. It's cool that To...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
I like the part where I said "I get why" and get multiple replies telling me why.
Seriously guys, it wasn't a question of why they didn't use the Canadian dub, it was an comment that regardless it's still weird to use the Studiopolis dub for a throwback block.

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
I get WHY they can't use the old Canadian dub for Sailor Moon but it is kinda weird to use the ViZ dub as part of a nostalgic throwback block when it's never been on Toonami before. At least Dragon Ball Z Kai did run on Toonami like 10 years ago and actually qualifies as a "rewind" and had...

Re: English Actors that were cast post...a certain timeframe.
Should be noted Colleen Clinkenbeard did Princess Snake for the UUE dub and was obviously Luffy for One Piece so she actually predates Kai by a few years. I also don't hear the similarities between Henderson and Clinkenbeard's Gohan's...like at all. Nadolny definitely started out imitating Henderson...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
To build off the Red Ribbon Army arc conversation, I think what made that arc so fantastic to me is that it was just an excellent story for Goku where he makes peace with his grandpa’s death. You can certainly criticize it in a number of different ways but the fact that it was a legit character dri...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
Right, the initial setup of Shin/Kibito/Goku doesn't impress me. I hope the "Universal Travel" bit is short, or that other characters eventually join them. The Red Ribbon Army had a similar problem, where it was just Goku going places and single-handedly beating the problem up without eff...

Re: ME TOONS CONFIRMED! (SPEED RACER IN THE LINE UP)
On a closing thought, I think that Dragon Ball is the Disney Adult's anime. It's generic and mainstream enough with a 25+ year fandom in the US alone to build up the mystique of its importance and nostalgia. I'd take it a step further and say Shonen anime in general is the Disney Adult's anime. The...
