Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I admired his art style through the years, he was an inspiration of bringing the series to life and made it mainstream for generations of fans everywhere in the world.

RIP Akira Toriyama, you were a good role model for all of us.

Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues that the Funimation brand on April 2

I'm sure anime was not this super niche underground obscure cult thing before Dragon Ball had success in English-speaking countries. Hell, when Akira was released in the UK in 1991, Island World Communications (the distributer of the time) saw the medium had potential and rebranded to Manga Enterta...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Though I chose not to say, has anyone heard about Allison Sumrall? She did the voice of Princess Snake in the orange brick releases back in 2005 before Colleen Clinkenbard assumed the current role from Kai. Before I dig deeper, she has voiced in most of ADV/Sentai dubs like Tamako Market, Amagi Bril...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

My 2 cents: + Secondary characters getting the spotlight. + Red Ribbon Army returning. + The new heroes/villains. + Honoring the manga colors (even Majin Boo has his blue-colored tongue). - The CG animation is so not my cup of tea. Very disappointing approach after what they accomplished in Super: ...

Re: The History of Dragon Ball in Every Country

It would appear Argentina pulled the plug for Dragon Ball due to the perverted nature of Kame-sennin. Kinda weird eh?

Bummer. I’d may listen to his pieces but his legacy is left behind. What a passionate success he worked for the past ten years of the entire franchise.

RIP to a legend.

Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?

Though not a bad idea...

How about the Shueisha-Kodansha crossover. Where Dragon Ball characters visit the Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) universe. Anything can happen.

Sony owns Aniplex and its American branch. Sentai Filmworks (born from the ashes of ADV Films) is also around, but has decent anime titles.

Re: Kirby Morrow, Third Canadian Voice of Goku, Passes Away

Grew up watching his voice in the 2000s until I switched to the FUNimation side.

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

um, this isn't anything new. They're both dubbed by Funimation,. Anime characters having the same voices as others from other since has been around since forever. But I'll play along.

Having transitioned from Dragon Ball to Attack on Titan after a decade of dominance, I noticed there a number of voice actors in that series that have connections to the Dragon Ball dub.
