I suppose this post is more about the thread and the people in it than the podcast in question, but...it seems kinda messed up in here. Also seems to be more about politics than the podcast or the validity of the claims in said podcast.

Wow! That's pretty nice. Not perfect, but better than pretty much any other outcome I'd imagine.

Re: Anyone see the BLT dub during its initial broadcast?
I remember. Let's see... I was six, and I must've been up too early, cuz I remember thinking "Aw, man... There's nothing good on this early. I'm so bored.", but then... I was trying to watch TV anyway, and there it was "Watch this brand-new show! Dragon Ball!" (I wonder what channel it was on ...

Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray
It's 100% obvious that this is nothing but an AI upscale. Even if this looks superficially "better" than the DBox, there is still absolutely zero point in digitally upscaling something available on film. It's such a waste of resources and an opportunity.
It's like if you had a poster and wanted ...

Re: Why is Vegito spelled like that
Sorry. Like I said, I wasn't sure what you were saying either. Haha
But wow. I don't think we had those at any of the stores by me. It was just Irwin. If you wanted anything else, you had to go to a comic shop for the Bandai imports.
Perhaps Bandai only did that for a short while? Stuff happened ...

Re: Why is Vegito spelled like that
I feel like our earliest hint that FUNimation was going with the "Vegito" spelling was some early merchandise post- Final Bout (and still pre-Texas cast work), but I'm struggling to place it at the moment. I don't think it was the Super Battle Collection figures Bandai released in 1996 ...

Re: Why was the Kikuchi score so inconsistently mixed?
Speaking of the first batch of the Kikuchi score in the OG DB, it was recorded and mixed by Nippon Columbia with a soundtrack release in mind, so it's mixed in stereo and preserved in higher quality. This was confirmed by the producer of DBZ BGM Collection whom I contacted years ago. I guess M7XX ...

Re: Is Yo! Son Goku and his friend return! Canon?
All I want to know is if YSFR fits into the main story line, don’t take me on a trip down the “everything is canon in its own right”, because we all know there’s a definite storyline that we consider to be the main one, and it’s nice to have these so we can put things together and follow them ...

Re: Did Gohan really call Buu a retard?
It's worth mentioning that at the time of translation, you couldn't go ten minutes without hearing 'retard' in high school. It wasn't 'The R Word' then like it is now. But due to the use as an insult, it eventually became insulting to refer to a 'retarded person' as such, so now it's avoided in lieu ...

The answer the main question at hand, I'd say it's entirely possible, but not worth even hoping for. Like how we just randomly got the Dragon Box Z sets, or the Rock the Dragon set, or the Full Color comics... Dreams DO come true...some-times.

Re: A decade ago... Kenji Yamamoto was fired
Meh, it’s obviously much easier to take an already finished product and tweak it in ways that can improve on any perceived flaws or take it in a new direction entirely, than it is to make a product that’s high caliber from scratch (and he’s clearly incapable of doing the latter).
This is true ...

No offense but you come off as a bit naive here, just because you've never personally witnessed hate does not mean it does not exist in your state. Not all hatred is obvious shit like KKK members burning crosses, sometimes racism is way more subtle and structural in nature like denying someone a ...

Actually the difference is that Yamamoto was charged with making OST’s , and it has that name for a reason. He clearly didn’t understand the first 5 Katakana (オリジナル) that get tacked onto these releases most of the time because literally every “composition” he ever made was pretty much taken in ...

I think they're on seperate channels. So if you open the audio file in Audacity, you'd see all five (or six?) channels. If it were a stereo track, it would only have two. Hm... They're linkt together, tho, so, like, you gotta seperate them. Click the track's drop-down menu, then click on the ...

I would've posted Imperfect Cell but someone mentioned it, dude looks straight out of a horror movie. In terms of unique faces, I think Upa also deserves a mention, the little guy looks more like a Peanuts character and is quite androgynously designed, as Kuririn pointed out when they met.
