Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

I don't know if a more faithful dub of DBZ would've succeeded, possibly but we'll never know for sure. 4Kids was IMO pretty good on those other shows, heck they are the only reason Sonic X even got a season 3 as the show was not nearly as succesful ratings wise in Japan as it was over here and it h...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

You need to look through this thread and ask yourself why nobody else is backing up your frankly incorrect assertions. Why would anyone else give a shit? Why would someone say "attention: this is clearly this man's opinion and not an objective statement of fact" when the only one who can'...

Re: How relevant is Barry Watson in any sense

Not trying to "downplay" anything, i'm just going by what i've personally witnessed, there's an ungodly amount of DBZ videos on Youtube so its impossible to get a truly accurate read on if the majority of dub fans really are "xenophobic" or whatever, all I can say is based on my...

I don't find that surprising considering you're a Funimation dub fan like those types and generally tend to downplay the perspective of sub fans. Not trying to "downplay" anything, i'm just going by what i've personally witnessed, there's an ungodly amount of DBZ videos on Youtube so its ...

Re: How relevant is Barry Watson in any sense

I don't see anything wrong with the comments sections on most Dragon Ball videos on Youtube Because you're not a fan of Japanese Dragon Ball. most of them just enjoy the dub and don't want to be told that their opinions are factually wrong or that they are idiots for daring to like the dub(which I ...

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

I disagree wholeheartedly, how many 4Kids dubs have you personally seen and how many episodes of them have you seen? I'd wager not very many if you truly believe there's no difference at all between them in terms of quality. Pokemon's changes weren't really seen as a joke until well into the show's...

Too bad they don't have plans to continue.
Yeah it's a real bummer, and when YGOTAS finally finishes it's going to feel like the end of an era.

Re: Can we talk about the Funimation Movie Soundtracks?

I unironically like some of the music, and it does give the movies an "AMV" feel. But by that same token, these songs give the movies a strong AMV feel. If that's really what you want out of them, more power to you. But at least back up and think about it this way: Imagine when they're lo...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

Indeed, i decided to check it out after hearing about it from your mentions around here and i actually saw some of the Seiya/Zodiac dub as a kid when it was airing on CN albeit not a lot. Good to know, i had a similar experience when hunting down the FUNi Dragon Boxes. Most of them i got from eBay ...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

Definitely, it seems they weren't under quite the same amount of heavy censorship compared to the former. I suppose they were just able to leave more in with the Seiya dub compared to Sailor Moon. I've been watching the Archive copies, don't know if the first seven volumes are still available for d...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

I've watched some of the DiC Seiya dub, and it definitely didn't seem quite as heavily edited as their dub of Sailor Moon/R was. Yeah I was surprised by how much fighting they actually kept in, especially in the tournament arc at the very start. So you've watched some of it eh? Did you get the DVDs...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

On top of that, sometimes a dub's quality can actually be lowered by being too literally adapted. I think there's a lot to love about Netflix's re-dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion , for example, but it was totally needless for Studio Khara to insist that the English dub have their actors use terms li...

Re: Are There Any Updates On The Harmony Gold Dub Of Dragon Ball?

Sorry to make this thread a zombie again, but I have yet another update. A source of mine in the Philadelphia area has informed me he has located a first-generation VHS recording of the WGBS telecast of the movies that his father had made back in late-89. We've agreed to get it a proper transfer th...

Re: Dragon Ball Z’s popularity in the West

I really think those changes are superficial in the grand scheme of things - what drew a lot of fans in wasn't necessarily the more Westernized themes, but how different it was from anything else that was airing in that demographic and the level of violence. I know at least that's what stood out to...

Re: Would a “true” faithful dub ever be possible?

Overall, dubs (or at least those that don't completely butcher the source material like FUNi's old Z dub did) are never going to be completely 1:1 with the Japanese version from a dialogue standpoint. The inherent language difference requires some change in order to make the lines work translated s...
