I think Kai is FUNimation's chance to redeem themselves with the dub. I think any serious scene in the dub was destroyed by the script, with maybe Vegeta's monologue about Kakarrot becoming better than him while he was fighting the final form of Boo. On the other hand, I think that same scene in the...

Maybe I should just try to learn Japanese. I'm late to realize this but the original is best. Never a bad idea. I learned Japanese in college almost specifically out of a love for anime and manga and wanting to be able to read/watch without needing a translation. It does take a lot of serious pract...

That's pretty sad. FUNimation is the only company to hose DBZ with a shitty, fake soundtrack.

Not what I'd gather from the "English Dragon Box" thread.

I don't even know what character I'm most like. Maybe Yamucha. I guess.

You mean the comapnies Viz outsources to make good dubs. FUNimation is really the only one who does things in house. Other companies outsource to Los Angeles or Canada.

Great topic, actually. The English dub is relevant to me for quite a few reasons despite the fact that I prefer the original version. I first got into Dragon Ball when the Ocean dub was in syndication, before it aired on CN if I recall correctly. For about three years, you'd watch up until Goku arri...

Needs more lesbian shower scene.

My dream release? Make it like a silent movie. No words. Just 1860s organ music and the occasional dialogue frames. That way everybody will just stop the pointless bickering that always goes on no matter what Funi or Toei does. I don't know if I would go for this. Nothing against 1860s music, but I...

The same black hole from whence they pulled other gems like "What's a Goku?" and "It's okay, I can see their parachutes" and "What is he ON?!" etc.

My dream release would actually be for FUNimation to go back and redub all three shows in a manner that is respectful to the original content. No more overly goofy voices on a few characters (I'd keep most of the voices actually. Freeza and #19 are two I'd want changed in the event of a redub) and n...

I don't get why the "Buu" spelling persists when in the anime episode where Boo is taking a bath and brushing his teeth before he and Satan play with the puppy, it says "Boo" just like that on his towels and bars of soap, etc. Not sure of the exact episode number, but that's the...

We're finally getting Dragon Ball Z done properly for once, maybe you guys should just give in and watch it in Japanese? You'll probably love it. F that. Goku sounds like a girl and they all talk too fast. I'd prefer the worse-than-1991 Sega midi Falconer track and great voiceover work like Android...

Ha, awesome. FUNi officially puts the Falconer score six feet underground. This release only keeps getting better.

I'm really going to have to agree here. I'm not trying to start a debate because in all honesty, there are one or two songs from Faulconer (that's not a whole lot, but it's something) that I actually do like. The problem to me is the video quality. Sticking three audio tracks onto the discs may com...

Inclusion of the Falconer score as a third audio track will really piss me off. It'll further undercut the available bitrate of the discs on a release it for all intents and purposes doesn't deserve to be on. It makes Dragon Ball come off as super cartoony. I guess I'll just continue living life as ...

I really feel no pain for the people who caved and bought the bricks. At one point I owned every single $19.99, three-episodes only single DVD release of Z that FUNimation had released, including the censored, dub only DVDs with the Ocean voice cast. Now we can all die happy Dragon Ball fans. The pr...

The pacing has slipped a little behind my outline in the "Is Kai Moving Along Too Fast?" thread but granted, I did quote episode 7 as only covering one chapter (which it may not), so there's a chance that by the end of next week I'll be back on track with my prediction. I did put the arriv...

Censoring alcohol/drugs/tobacco? THANK YOU TOEI. I remember my first beer. And my first joint. And my first cigarette. WHERE WERE YOU THEN, TOEI? I blame all my addictions on you! I don't really care about the censorship. Kai was a cool idea at first but now that it's cutting scenes that were in th...
