Re: Are you sick of Goku?

I'm definitely not sick of Goku and most definitely don't want the series to try to bend itself all out of shape to try to recapture the magic. If the series insists on continuing, I'd rather they'd stick to their simple formula that seems to work than to try to recreate everything. Ideally, I would...

Re: 20 years ago today Dragon Ball GT premiered in the UK and Ireland

No matter what anybody says about the Blue Water dub of GT, at least you didn't get the replacement score that we got in the US. While the main theme was kinda catchy (despite the "rap"), the repetitiveness, the instruments, and the overall dark, depressing feel of that monotnous score mad...

I do like the Blue Water dub a lot and wish it got an official release.

Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4

I know nothing about One Piece, but isn't this a One Piece special? Funimation dubbed the TV specials for DBZ/GT, so why would this be strange for One Piece? It kind of barely relates to Dragon Ball and unfortunately, isn't really a sign of Crunchyroll dubbing the undubbed content. I would find it r...

Re: Has your opinion on any Dragon Ball media changed over the years?

Maybe by the time I have kids and they're old enough I can have a rewatch of the entire series with them. I always thought this, but I'm starting to change my mentality on it. I feel like it would be torture to the kid. At that point, it'll be an old, outdated cartoon that is around as old as I am....

We have those masters in the French release too, so after having watched all movies, I can tell you that middle fingers is the only thing that was censored to my knowledge. None of the violence has been toned down or anything. And yet, that still bugs me. Not because I care about middle fingers--I'...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Namek Saga (Ocean Dub)

Those weren't the standards at the time, they were the standards of Fox Kids, which appear to be more stringent than Kids WB. Indeed, I'm pretty sure I remember Bruce Timm or someone on staff saying Fox Kids gave them pages of stuff they weren't allowed to do, KidsWB gave them a paragraph. The inte...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Namek Saga (Ocean Dub)

It seems they went to such absurd lengths with the death cover ups to an even greater degree than edited Saiyan arc was beyond next/another dimension, including but not limited to painting out dead Namekians, cutting out scenes of mass graves and adding breathing noises to the Namekians' (and other...

Re: Has your opinion on any Dragon Ball media changed over the years?

...Drag-on Ball Z... Hah! That's funny. My view on the manga changed. When I was younger, I read some of the manga online and was of the opinion that the anime was better because of the voices and the music and the action, etc. And after I collected all of the Funimation and Dragon Box DVDs around ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Saiyan Conflict (Ocean Dub)

I wanna point out that what people refer to here as "censorship" isn't actually censorship. It's Network Standards and Practices. Censorship only pertains to government action. I don't like conflating the two. But, as I like to say, I welcome the changes. We have the original version for ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Saiyan Conflict (Ocean Dub)

To save a giant dissertation of a love letter to this, I'll just say that to this day, this is my favorite portion of the series' dubs. I find it amazing that the vocal cast--who was inexperienced in their own right--that was placed on the project first remains unsurpassed to this day (to me, of cou...

Re: Gine Appreciation Thread.

I wish that Bardock remained as a more typical Saiyan like he was presented as in the original TV special. This retcon also changes the story of when Goku was sent to Earth, why he was sent to Earth, and pretty much changes the entire idea that Goku was meant to be evil until he hit his head becaus...

Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?

I certainly think that Klassen's Krillin sounded closer to the original Kuririn than Strait's did. I think that Strait grew into the role, but it's still kind of a "Funimation presents: Krillin" than the Kuririn that was actually written into the series. That's just my opinion. The Humphre...

Re: Dragon Ball Movies Available in HD

How many discs does each case hold? One disc each, two movies per disc except #8, which has the first three Dragon Ball movies. Last question, is this the only censorship that was made to the movies or is there more than that? You know, I honestly don't know. Truth be told, I haven't really watched...

Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?

Since the topic was scratched on, I don't think that the voices have to sound like TV Japanese performers' to be good. English and Japanese are different languages with different sounding words. Nozawa fits Goku so well when she speaks Japanese, but I can't imagine her--or an imitator--sounding good...
