Re: Episode #0258 (15 May 2011)

Kamen Rider is currently going through it's 40th anniversary. Two years ago was the 10th anniversary of the Heisei (current generation) Kamen Rider series. The past 3 series have been large ratings and financial successes. A new movie celebrating the 40th anniversary was just released and tore up bo...

Re: FUNimation and Toei announce online streaming of DBZ!

People complaining about free shit. Sounds like a typical day on the internet to me!

I'm curious to see what footage they're using. Depending on how this turns out, it may kill my desire to pick up Z Kai, if I can just watch the original source material for free.

Re: King Cold's FUNimation English Dub Voice in Kai

They could get Chris Rager to do it. I think I'd like to hear his. After all, Daisuke Gouri voiced Cold in Z. Of course, that's a lot like saying John Swasey should play him because he played Crocodile in One Piece just like the Japanese VA for Cold in Kai. You can't really make somebody the offici...

Re: Final Bout for the Gameboy?

It appears it is an unlicensed game for the Game Boy Color. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pm9ev7uQHQ Holy shit, those are some pretty decent 8-bit versions of King of Fighters music... Wait, those are just rips from the Neo Geo Pocket, aren't they? So much for this game having SOME originality.

Re: Best Buy Breaking Street Date on DB Movie 1?

Yeah, I saw it at BB on Monday. I thought it seemed a little early. If I had the presence of mind to realize that it was a broken release date, I would have posted here too.

I was amused by the fact that the description on the case basically said "Buy this or you aren't true fan!".

Re: 'Dragonball: Zenkai Battle Royale' Discussion - [News-26/11]

Kikuchi's music?? :mrgreen: Oh, and what Gundam game is this based off of? There's a whole series of Gundam "Vs." games in Japanese arcades. Federation Vs. Zeon, Rengou Vs. ZAFT, Gundam vs. Gundam, etc. Look up any of those on Youtube and you'll get an idea of how they play. And the other...

Re: 'Dragonball: Zenkai Battle Royale' Discussion

Based on the video footage and the fact that this is an arcade release, I'm willing to bet this is being developed by the same team that does the Gundam VS. games. At least, I hope so, because those games kick absurd amounts of ass. Considering that this is an arcade release, it kind of has to appea...

Frankly, I'm surprised I'm the first.

This would seriously shock me if it were true. However, a manga-fied version of DBO would be orgasm-tastic.

I'm taking this with a PILE of salt, but Bleeding Cool seems to be a relatively legit site, and apparently Viz has been tweeting about a really big announcement soon. Take from this what you will.

Re: Strange Dragon Ball Website/Wiki Mistakes

If I remember correctly, Pojo has copied entire articles from DaizEX without crediting them at all. That is about as scummy as you can get, and not becoming of a "reliable source".

Re: FUNimation Announces "Kai" License ("DBZ Kai")

I really fail to see the point of this debate. I think people who enjoy the dub will enjoy Kai's new dub regardless of changes. People who don't enjoy the Funi dub would probably end up watching the Japanese version anyway, even if the new dub is completely revamped and far more accurate, because th...

Re: Dragonball GT BGM

One anime-based comparison that had a similar "controversy" was the Chun-Li vs Vega/Balrog fight in the Street Fighter II anime movie. In the original Japanese version, the music played was a very ambient and laid-back tune that happened to be playing on Chun-Li's stereo. It set the mood ...

Re: FUNimation Announces "Kai" License ("DBZ Kai")

The thing there is that most people into One Piece have been watching fansubs for a good long time. Simulcasting OP was their way of trying to stomp down on fansubs while bringing in those fans already watching. DB is a different audience, for the most part. True, but various other series have been...

Re: FUNimation Announces "Kai" License ("DBZ Kai")

Am I the only one who hopes this results in a streaming simulcast a la One Piece and FMA:Brotherhood? It seems like a logical direction. Seems a wee bit late for that. Considering the fact that One Piece started being simulcast a couple of years ago, and the series has been on the air for over 10 y...

Cast LittleKuriboh as Freeza and MasakoX as Goku and then we'll talk. :mrgreen: Seriously though, I doubt we'll get a dub change. The Funi Z dub is far too popular and lucrative in the States for Funi to attempt to muck with it. Even if they did change it, I've become too accustomed to the JPN versi...

The discussion with Julian at the end actually had me a little misty-eyed. I may not be the most active DB fan, but it was an amazing sentiment, and really felt genuine. Congrats on 200 episodes, and here's to many more.

Oh, and congrats on that little getting-married thing too, Julian. :P
