Funimation hasn't done Closed Captions for their English dubs in a long time (if ever?) You definitely won't find them on any Kai release.

Dubs where Freeza was voiced by a woman: * English Blue Water (Jennifer Bain) * English FUNimation (Linda Young) * English Ocean Productions (Pauline Newstone) * Greek (Matina Karra / Emi Stylianidou) Other than the Greek dub this is less a coincidence and more Funimation and Ocean casted a woman t...

The orange bricks probably included the "movie" theme over Cha-La because it had been used before and Funi were still scared of keeping Japanese songs in their dub in 2007. The Blu-Ray and streaming releases probably only retain it because they can't be bothered to touch their already-rem...

Using the original instrumentals is dependent on Toei providing them with such. More precisely, it's a matter for record labels such as Nippon Columbia and ZAIN RECORDS to handle, since they're the ones with the phonographic copyrights to any such instrumentals. Like anything else related to the mu...

Should the DBZ openings, endings, and insert songs (plus extended versions for commercial releases) receive official accurate English covers with the original instrumentals retained (from dubbing companies, not the original Japanese music artists as "Engrish" versions of Japanese songs so...

The basic impression I’m getting is that that entertainment industries in Japan seem to have rather skewed priorities (from a Western perspective) when it comes to what is considered an unforgivable/fireable offense. If an artist has abhorrent views or commits a serious sex crime, it will often be ...

I always assumed Goku's first transformation happened when he was still just a baby , and so even as a Great Ape he was still relatively weak enough for Gohan the experienced martial artist to subdue at the time. For the old setting yes, that could have worked. Had Goku was picked up by normal huma...

I feel like you've spread the word enough King. Our Lord and Savior Goku died for our sins. In his name we pray "Ossu Ora Goku!"

Why do I feel like I've heard this song before?

After rewatching the first Teaser Trailer, I'm inclined to believe that the story takes place between the end of the Buu saga and Battle of Gods. According to the trailers, the Kaioshin and Kibito aren't fused in Daima, so it can't happen before Battle of Gods. I don't see why they'd make it after ...

Gods forbid if they ever saw episode 5 of Dragon Ball, or its thematic remake in GT.

Version 1 https://youtu.be/mUXe8vqdvx4?si=WKtHSDjsD31vSH9R Holy shit, I skipped all the EDs when I watched the sub, I had no idea this version existed. Yamcha makes kind of a cute girl??? Honestly being able to see the correct OP and EDs and the NEP was the highlight of watching the Dragon Box vers...

There's plenty to talk about aside from current in-universe stuff. Conversations about whose stronger than who inevitably become tiresome because we can only make educated guesses on these things. For anyone that explores the behind-the-scenes stuff like various international dubs, broadcasts, even...

At the very least, for quality control reasons, they should have done a complete redub of the Ginyu, Frieza, and Garlic Jr sagas. Use the old 1999 scripts as a base to save money if they want but get rid of the more cringe dialog and fix the most egregious errors and have the entire cast completely...

...Which then means there is nothing to discuss about, besides sparring matches between the Z-Fighters and ranking them proper. There's plenty to talk about aside from current in-universe stuff.

I've said it before, but if they were going to redub DBZ with more faithful scripts, they would've done it 20 years ago when they were polishing up the dub for the Ultimate Uncut releases, as well as rerecorded the first 67 episodes with the Texas cast & when they were remixing the English dub ...

I don't really think it matters. Who is a new dub going to be for? No new fans are going to sit through 444 episodes of an English dub of three thirty-plus year old cartoons. If they're going to sit through that many episodes, they will in all likelihood be interested in the work from a historical ...

"It's absurd to expect a redub simply because one dislikes a poorly adapted version. Wanting a redub and expecting a redub are two different thing. I doubt Majin Buu ever expects Dragon Ball to get a redub. . Be grateful that a redub was undertaken, allowing access to the unedited version. One...

Tbf the 2nd ending in the first season kind of sucked imo. No big loss Those are fighting words. It's way better than the first one. I don't even like the first one that much :lol: Now, I will fight you if you insist Princess Moon is better than Maiden's Policy, Watashi-tachi ni Naritakute, and Ras...

Minor pedantic correction. The Funimation release does have the second ending. They don't have the first ending The two endings are nearly identical but the second ending is updated to include Kuririn and Lunch and omits some scenes in its place like a cross dressing scene between Bulma and the boy...
