Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

, although for anyone that wants to watch Dragon Ball Z in English it's the way to go. While you might miss the original score the voice actors are still more seasoned and there's some examples of better pronunciations (sometimes you hear a Go-Koo, and Videl is "Vih-Dell") as well as line...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

I wonder if a Toonami channel would work in the US, like what the UK and Ireland had from 2003 to 2007? I know historically Cartoon Network has liked the perk of royalties that come with their original programming, but does anyone watch the main channel anymore? Might be better at this point to jus...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

To each their own, I guess. I'm happy that you like the Viz dub. For me even trying to watch episodes in the S season it amazed me that it still sounds like a fandub. It is impressive they managed to get mediocre performances out of Veronica Taylor and Wendee Lee. I dont exactly love the viz dub to...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

I meant new as in these are premieres to TV despite the shows and even the new dubs age.

Re: Torishima "Son Goku and Blooma should fall in love"

Before Toriyama retconned Goku's age, he said he was 14 at the start of the manga and Blooma is 16. So it was a 2 year age gap that turned into a 4 year age gap. The reason it probably didn't happen regardless was because Toriyama doubled down many times over on Blooma being character flawed for co...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

Sadly Naruto and DBZKai ratings wont be revealed until they actually figure in the top 200 reruns. Sure DBZKai is pretty popular and HAS appeared on that list even now, but it is Sailor Moon that will be counted as a new show due to the new dub. Its like an entirely new show, different cast, differe...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

Yes actually, Pretty Cure is really great. It IS a cutesy show but it learns from the mistakes of Sailor Moon AND Dragon Ball and ends up a great mix of both. That means great fights with great animation and fast pacing. The series IS too cute but the badass fights keep it appealing. The series was ...

I was about to PM you but the site didnt work and I couldnt. Thank god you already knew. I think this is a great way to bring back hype (Both word of mouth AND ratings) to Adult Swim and Toonami.

Sailor Moon is trending on Twitter along with Toonami Rewind. This tells me this broadcast is getting the word of mouth hype it needed to succeed.

Re: If Dragon Ball goes beyond EOZ what would you like to see

No "passing the torch to the next generation" plot beat. It doesn't work, the past shows us that it doesn't work. Boruto didn't work, Gohan didn't work, Pan didn't work. People want Goku and Vegeta. Super Hero was a gamble and even then they made an entire B-plot storyline featuring Goku,...

Think of tv deals for DB and luckily enough Toei continues to find new clients to sell the show to.

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

I think DBI meant, its okay to cut the sexual humor but that keeping the scenes where Roshi gets punched is great.

Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early

I wonder why Julie never brought up such a wish, it would be so interesting. A lil bit of sweet fantasy for LGBT people and such a departure from the usual take Dragon Ball has on queer people.

Re: What dub do new English Speaking fans go with more? DBZ or DBZKai

I feel so sad reading that, it must have taken until Toonami got the show for people to realize it could EVEN BE uncut. To be fair, that didnt stop DBZKai from being popular, the Nicktoons airings were popular and the dub and editing there were decent. EDIT: The Late Christopher Ayers had to tell fa...
