Where was this stated? I don't think the Saban dub would have been considered Canadian content since it only utilized a Canadian cast, some writers and a Vancouver-based recording studio, but otherwise it was wholly an American production.

At best it would have been a neat bonus but never ...

They were all veteran peformers which helped a lot. I'm not sure if any performance was outright "bad" just a lot of miscast or goofy cartoon voices that didn't necessarily fit the character or didn't go well with the material. I think with a few recast and some actors being directed differently ...

That is naturally a subjective question because acting is an art, not a science, but what helped the Ocean cast was the fact they were not nobodies off the street.

Brian Drummond and Scott McNeil went to theatre school, Doc Harris and Terry Klassen worked in radio, Saffron Henderson was the ...

I probably have some material that I've forgotten about. It's been 20 years so life has gotten in the way, but I know I never got rid of anything.

Is there a particular area of focus you'd be most interested in?


Oh hey, thanks for posting, Ocean fans like myself have missed your wisdom ...

Ian Corlett paid tribute to Doc Harris on his Instagram and the memories they had together:


"Doc was a HUGE force in my early career. More than just a DH, he lived and breathed music. He also had a keen eye for movies.

I first met him when I was working at the music store and sold him some ...

The English Dubbing Wiki


The dubbing wiki is good for a general overview of the English dubs, although for the Canadian dubs a lot of misinformation tends to make the rounds there.

The Westwood dub for example was not made to meet Canadian content quotas, and AB Groupe only distributed it ...

In spite of the faithful direction of the Blue Water dubs, it's curious that they then went with a replacement score for Kai, maybe that was in response to Z doing well previously with replacement music and not wanting to reinvent the wheel since Kai was largely the same product. But in the end, it ...

August 2001:

Episode 168 premieres on YTV, finally progressing the series forward after a 4-month hiatus filled with repeats. The Z series would not look back after this final alteration to production was made as the series begins airing featuring what's known in the fandom as the "Westwood dub ...

Regarding YTV not having switched to the Westwood dub right away with episode 108, the assumption has always been because by the time the Westwood dub was even available, YTV had already aired a good portion of the Cell arc. It didn't really exist yet as a finished product until months later ...

As far as I can tell Sabat is a smart businessman and an opportunist. After all, the man once admitted in a newspaper that he was responsible for convincing Funi to move recording from Vancouver to Texas in the first place,
Except, that’s not accurate. He was hired when they were casting for ...

Can somebody confirm whether the Pioneer dubs actually aired on Canadian TV? Were they uncut or the same edits that aired on Toonami?


YTV aired the edited Toonami versions of movies 1 and 2, as well as the edited Saban version of movie 3 with Ian Corlett still voicing Goku. These were notable ...

Where did you get that? Was there like an announcement blog post or something? Or was this linked from that Kanzenshuu podcast? Or is this a fan-created thing based off an announcement?

That was the original promotional art that circulated when the Rock the Dragon set was first announced in early ...

No, the Ocean cast did not dub episodes 54-107, and that's always been a particular sore spot for me as far as the history of the dub goes.

For starters, for those who've seen episode 108, just listen to the actors themselves. It's clear that some of them are a little "rusty" at playing the ...

This also doesn't fall into redub territory since it's more on the Toei side, but I'd rebuy Kai all over again if the Kikuchi score had the original Z placement of the music tracks, insert songs aside like Over the Star (which I feel were worthy additions).


Not possible because of the way that ...

If Funi were allowed to put out the Levels in 2011, then I see no reason Toei would block them using the broadcast audio now. It was, to quote you, so much better than what was out in Japan. It's just that this is video instead of audio.

There is a major difference between the audio and video ...

Though honestly, in an ideal situation, I'd rather own a boxset that just used the uncut Pioneer versions of all three movies.

It does exist .

Plus, Tree Of Might is presented as a marathon feature on RTD, not the original 3-episode version, so arguably even that's done slightly wrong ...

Funi started releasing stuff in 1996, with it being bilingual starting in 1999.

Fan assumption means nothing. It's not even useful speculation in this case, as there's no sources to back up even the simple idea of Funi never being provided the NEPs.
At the very least, what will have happened is ...

By the way, I talked with someone inside AB group, he told me that all materials used into any release Has to be approved by Toei , without that, Funimation can't use any audios without Toei agreement , so it mean chris has to convince funimation, that need to convince Toei
[...]
Do you really ...

I've noticed how Drummond said that he didn't change the way he voiced Vegeta when he became more of a good guy/anti-hero in that video of his panel...


For those who don't like that, it's an unreasonable expectation to have.

People in real life can go through drastic changes in personality as ...

I have no real opinion on most of the title changes, but for DBZ Movie 1, Dead Zone is a much better title than In Pursuit of Garlic .

Out of context and without knowing who Garlic Jr. is, one might be given the impression by the Japanese title that it's a movie about Chi-Chi sending Goku to the ...
