Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.
I remember in the dark ages (around 2014) 700K on a network show would have gotten you cancelled faster than you can say Kaioken. Now it's apparently ratings gold?

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
Either way, I hope transformations take a huge backseat. They're an absolute tension killer and story breaker, and I don't want them back unless they do a good damn job developing the characters first. If they're really trying to recapture the feeling of pre-Daimao Dragon Ball, I hope they don't in...

Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.
Physical Media has its uses that streaming doesn't provide (namely you own it). There really isn't anything cable provides that you don't get from streaming. I wouldn't really compare the two.

Re: Dragon Ball z Kai
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...

Re: Faithful English covers of DBZ openings, endings, and insert songs
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...

Re: Faithful English covers of DBZ openings, endings, and insert songs
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...

Re: Faithful English covers of DBZ openings, endings, and insert songs
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...

Re: unpopular opinion: kenji yammoto should have never got fired
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 ...

Re: How did Grandpa Gohan survived Goku's Great Ape form for first time?
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...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
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 ...

Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball
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.

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?
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...
