Re: Xenophobia: How does it impact the DragonBall fanbase?

newsflash, by the way: yes, you can dub live action movies without it looking like shit. It's been done. Again, and again and again . Prove it. French dubs of live-action movies tend to be pretty good on the lipsynch front. Check around on Youtube, I don't know (I would if my damn computer didn't c...

Did you just compare Alessando Juliana to Kappei Yamaguchi? My Yamaguchi-kun?! [/b] By the way, I thought it was funny/nice how all three Wammy's kids were dubbed by veteran voice actors. (no, I didn't include you, Matt... sorry, dude) And newsflash, by the way: yes, you can dub live action movies ...

If you take, say, Die Hard, mute the voices, and hand it to FUNimation along with a script and tell them to add voices to the movie, would the end result give the same viewing experience? And would anyone want to watch this dub over the original? Very very bad example. 1, Why would an English dubbi...

The difference being Goku did not really defeat Vegeta. It took four of them and a bunch of luck to survive the battle. Goku had proven himself to be vastly stronger than Freeza. Add in that all of the other fighters were ressurected. Freeza was never going to be a threat to Earth. Also it would of...

While a faithful dub gives you the same viewing experience as the original audience had. Uh, no. Not only will the voices be different, but the script will need to be adjusted to fit in the alotted time as well.

Because a subtitled version shows you the original version while also explaining what people are saying, while a dubbed version alters the original in order to explain what people are saying. Isn't that obvious enough? It was not meant to be watched in that fashion. adding sub titles changes the in...

Unless a paragraph shows up in the subtitles in one go, it really isn't that hard to watch a movie/show with subtitles. If you've been speaking English for over 13 years you should find that your brain instantly takes in stuff that's written down clearly. Subtitles are not an effort to read, and it...

Live action is a bit different. The dubbing always looks very bad and takes you out of the story. But I can't see any reason to not listen to a well done dub in your native language. Finally I just do not like to read movies/tv shows. That's not really true, there are very good dubs of movies, at l...

Yes I'm sure there are countless people out there from France, Italy, China, South America etc. who would also prefer to listen to Dragonball or other anime in the Japanese audio. However like you, a lot of those people are a little more hardcore anime watchers. The stronger populous, the ones who ...

Yes, just like the utterly defeated Vegeta didn't go on to slaughter a whole village of innocents, including the children. See the Vegeta argument is ac...

They were not trying to kill him? Also you do not know they were dead. Their eyes were whited out and their tongues were hanging out their mouths. Pretty sure they were dead. Also, I think we're having a miscommunication here: Even if he hadn't. Freeza was a head, a arm and a piece of a torso. His ...

I just realized this means SSJ Pan is superior to two-times-in-the-Time-Chamber Vegeta, one-time-in-the-HTC Kamiccolo, two-times-in-HTC Trunks, and probably over-powered-post-time-chamber Gohan. *spits* I just watched the Bojak movie unfortunately. But in it Vegeta, Trunks and Piccolo were able to ...

Yeah the info was conflicting. It said I needed to defeat Goku with arc blast to unlock the alternate path. But it said to get arc blast you must win the Freeza's treachery part. Which has to be in the Cooler story mode.

The Red Ribbon soilders were killed in the heat of the moment. Freeza was begging and pleading for mercy. Goku was not going to kill anyone begging for their life. Again the Red Ribbon soilders were killed by essentially their own hand. Whether it be firing a rocket at a kid or attacking him in a h...

In the silver age of comics, it was common practice to draw a cover first. Then write a story around it.
