Nooooo they didn't have Gohan call Buu a "retard" was lowkey looking forward to that, the subs also changed it from retard to ignoramus, I dunno Piccolo and Goten, Trunks reaction doesn't mesh with "fool" at all, I understand not using retard but they could have picked a stronge...

I really dig Sabat's Majin Vegeta performance. It's intense, and with a much improved script than before. Does it make sense to tell a dead guy (Goku) that this time, he's going to die?

Well, as previously pointed out, TFS is not on the home release. A real shame. I'm convinced there must have been pressure from Toei to drop them from the show. EDIT: Should have said this sooner, but we all basically knew already, home release is in 16:9 making it inconsistent with previous Kai rel...

Starting now. All discs are in one case, kinda flimsy. English intro and ending songs. This is my first time watching Kai Final Chapters and wow, even the eye catches are riddled with spoilers for events later in the arc.

My final chapters part 1 has shipped yesterday and will be here tomorrow. Will be on here to let you guys know if TFS made it onto the home release.

Pretty disappointed to hear TFS got snubbed. There would never be a better time to cameo.

Well, in Minnesota Junior High schools, Retard isn't a bad word, while dumbass is a lot worse. It probably depends on where you live. I guess that would be because when you say "dumbass," you're technically swearing, but "retard's" just a word with a very negative connotation wi...

Honestly (and more realistically) he's likely to simply call him an idiot, or maybe moron. The intent is just to call him stupid, and I don't think Funimation will actually have a protagonist call someone a "retard" when that word is especially so volatile now in the west.

Enigmo doesn't have anything that isn't commercially available. He's just really good at making it look like he does. After seeing his numerous posts on this forum a few months ago, I'd beg to differ. This certainly looks much better, though. I was shocked to find out it was him. So, back to the to...

Now, I suppose you could interpret that as Sean being the only one in the recording studio at the time while Chris recorded earlier... I really hope this is the case. Vegetto has two voices in Japanese, it should also be that way in the dub, especially since the dub's had it since the beginning. Th...

No English dub could make up for Boo Kai's faults. How anyone could be excited for such a clusterfuck is beyond me. Even considering the faults of Boo arc Kai, which to some extent were shared by the original Kai production, being able to finally dismiss the legacy dub as completely irrelevant is (...

The change Schemmel pushed for that had Goku use his full name during his "I Am" speech in Kai isnt really all that big when you look at the Japanese dub where you hear Son Goku a ton of times when compared to the English dub where the Son portion of his name has been almost completely ig...

To be fair, Gohan is drunk for a good section of the movie, so it may just be an apt direction for the character at the time, lol. In all seriousness, who knows the exact reasons? The acting is certainly better, and the direction didn't feel off when compared to Kai, so perhaps it was some sort of ...

No, he just tells Hebert "I know we calmed Gohan down a bit for Kai, but for this we really want the original Dragon Ball Z feel." Maybe he's alluding to younger Gohan? But if so, why would he tell Hebert this?

I wonder if it's a good idea on their part, it almost encourages dividing their fanbase. After Kai's English dub, I don't ever want to go back.

Yesterday I received my extended Battle Of Gods Blu Ray, and I dug into the special features with the Funimation cast. Picked up on a couple things. Firstly, during the flashback of young Goku vs. Piccolo Daimao, Goku has Stephanie Nadolny's voice, NOT Colleen Clinkenbeard's. This would fall in line...

Note how Sabat said they haven't recorded the Buu saga. Not that they aren't currently in the process of recording it.

Absolutely! Got all the others, why stop now?

C'mon guyyyys. OF COURSE there will be a FUNi dub. If overseas success is what's brought it back from the dead, a ton of that success is from the show's immense popularity on Nicktoons. Hope it'll be as consistent as possible this time around. Truly a wish come true. SO thrilled about this... For ri...

Probably the biggest criticism of the Z anime was that it had notorious amounts of filler and was far too dragged out.

If Kai's marketing wasn't geared towards having much better pacing comparable to the manga, I would want the people trying to promote it fired.
