Re: Does anyone know anything about the "Christian dub" of Dragon Ball Z?


Funimation lowkey did this too with their dialogue changes though it was probably more inspired by "American" values which are heavily influenced by Christianty. The kids had to get a good moral message from the show.

For example: Goku said to Captain Ginyu how good it is to help the weak and ...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?


One of the coolest nicest most interesting details of Dragon Ball was how everyone was always getting a new outfit, new hairstyle, new look, etc on every arc, every new appearance.

Re: Is anyone else not a fan of the SS3 Vegeta design?


Ever since Daima came out I've thought Vegeta's SS3 design looks goofy with the hair continuing to stand up. I much prefer the more traditional SS3 design he had in the Raging Blast games.

I know some will argue it's because Vegeta's hair always stands up regardless of form, while Goku's has ...

Honestly I still would love to give applying the Kikuchi rescores to the Japanese version but I never could get perfect results with Ultimate Vocal Remover, yet I heard the Kienzan guys used that for their Z Recut so maybe I just didn't use the right settings. If I could do that we really would have ...

Dunno if this also is a Dragon Box Kai issue, but the frame in 94 RIGHT after the eyecatch of the scenery panning is the Kai footage and the next frame it cuts to the proper Dragon Box SoM footage.

Re: Dragon Box Kai [Seed of Might DBox CC Sync to Kai]

It's possible some AI software could accomplish it and keep the film look but... I know everyone's stance on that so I won't earnestly recommend it. Otherwise probably a frame by frame or at least cel by cel edit redrawing and recoloring them by hand and trying to match the grain and re-animating ...

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff


I always heard that the supposed reason Schemmel didn’t redub his lines is because he wanted to keep his old performance intact as a reminder of how far he had come as a voice actor.

To this day, I’d still say the weirdest thing about the remastered redub is the fact that they went through the ...

I remember him saying something about wanting to preserve the original performance or that he was proud of them or something but I don't remember if that was a rumor or not.

Re: How would you feel about AI being used for deceased voice actors?




Speaking of AI, you know what I'm feared of?
AI upscale for official release by Toei.
It has become too common thanks to James Cameron's recent 4K UHD release of Aliens, True Lies, and The Abyss, where some companies starts to use that technique.
It would be sad if classic series (original ...

Well I've had the time to give a bit of a watch, I assumed it was my player at first but I noticed random frame skipping and jittering. One big example was in episode 49 at around 18:38, the close up of Goku's eyes panning has some real bad skipping for the first couple of seconds and I've noticed ...

I had no idea this even existed... when rewatching it recently I really wanted to at least go in the 5.1 track and remove all the extra dialog but this is way more than that! I'm gonna check it out soon!

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff

I just personally find it hard to see the value in the dub's additions when they undermine the drama like that. Goku letting Freeza reach 100% is such a heavy moment, and having Freeza crack 'alright big guy, whatever turns you on' jokes just kills the tension for me

I watched the dub as a kid ...
