Re: Isn’t It In Toei’s/Funimation’s Legal Right to Use The Original Broadcast Audio on Future Releases?

I felt that maybe I should add to this thread because of the recent news. The upcoming French Blu-ray of Dragon Ball, which seems to be the best Home Media release of the series since…forever, officially has the series’ Broadcast Audio right on the disc. No muffled garbage! In fact, it seems they li...

Re: What was your first introduction to Dragon Ball?

I got into Dragon Ball because of Kai's run on Nicktoons. Started right when it premiered cause the TV spots looked interesting. I had no idea this was a franchise that existed prior to its Nicktoons premiere till I started to become more into it as I watched the show. People often talk about the ce...

Am I Nuts, or are There Two Slightly Different Variations of DBS - Super Hero Dub in Theaters ?

Okay so this might seem weird, and I could totally be misremembering, but I’ve seen Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero a couple times in theaters now. Twice dubbed into English and 3 times Subbed. I say this cause it could be totally possible that I’m mixing up dub dialogue with sub dialogue, but I just ...

Re: Time Frame On a Dragon Ball/DBZ/DBGT HD Remaster

I would love for the 3 original series to get a proper remaster. It's worth noting though that 16mm film is equivalent to around a 2k resolution. Once you start scanning the film at a higher resolution than that, the grain will be even more noticeable and pretty aggressive from what I understand abo...

Re: Whose Voices Do You Hear When Reading the Manga?

I think I’ve gotten to the point where I mostly just hear the Japanese voices when it comes to most of the major characters. As someone who grew up on the FUNimation cast, that’s no small feat. Admittedly, that’s partly because I stopped paying attention to the English side of Dragon Ball. I watche...

Whose Voices Do You Hear When Reading the Manga?

I've been reading the Super manga lately and wonder, what voices people hear when they read it.? For me, I mainly hear the Modern day English cast. Schemmel, Sabat, those guys. However, there are a couple of moments where I'll hear the Japanese cast, usually when they say specific lines that I recog...

Re: Should Dragon Ball still air on TV in the 2020s and beyond?

I can't help but feel like it'll still air on TV in some way in the US, but I certainly don't think that in today's day and age that's really necessary. I don't know how other anime dubs are aired but I just feel that with the increased popularity when it comes to streaming services in America, airi...

Re: Is Gohan more handsome than his father?

If anything, they're both probably on equal footing in terms of in universe appearance. Gohan is a nudge higher but that's only because of his personality.

Re: Differences Between the Subtitle Translations

Yeah that’s the thing with translations. There’s always a couple different ways to translate something from one language to another. I feel like most of these differences are negligible at best. We can never pick up EXACTLY what’s being said cause there’s so many variables when it comes to languages...

Re: Isn’t It In Toei’s/Funimation’s Legal Right to Use The Original Broadcast Audio on Future Releases?

It's TOEI's anime, I'm sure they would be free to use the broadcast audio in any sort of release without fear of legal ramifications. That said I think the fact TOEI threw out the original audio masters to begin with shows how little they care for it. Dragon Ball to TOEI is merely a show they adapt...

Re: Isn’t It In Toei’s/Funimation’s Legal Right to Use The Original Broadcast Audio on Future Releases?

There are intricacies of particularly Japanese copyright law that I don't think anyone here has the actual authority to speak to regarding that question. There are all sorts of weirdness loopholes I could see just based on what little I personally know about American copyright law: technically they...

Isn’t It In Toei’s/Funimation’s Legal Right to Use The Original Broadcast Audio on Future Releases?

So obviously the entirety of the Dragon Ball Series’ Original Broadcast Audio has leaked online. And of course, fans were the ones who recorded this audio while the show was being aired in Japan. But at the end of the day, the audio from the show is owned by Toei right, which is why using that audio...

Re: Would you have preferred Resurrection F if.....

I do think if Vegeta ended up killing Freeza instead of Goku, the film would've been better only in the sense that, it'd have gone down a more interesting route. Goku saving the day last minute took a lot away from Vegeta's thunder. It wouldn't have made the film any better than it already was, but ...
