Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 10; Still Unreleased

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...

Re: How many versions/dubs aired on YTV?

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 du...

Re: How many versions/dubs aired on YTV?

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. Episod...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 10; Still Unreleased

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 Sleepi...

Re: The Many English Dubs (Revised)

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 for b...

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?

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming...

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 th...

Re: Should Z get yet another redub in English?

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 Kai ...

Re: Is it true that there were people making money off the Japanese Broadcast Audio?

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 situa...

Re: Help Guide for DBZ Funimation Singles DVDs (links + screens)

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. Although I a...

Re: Is it true that there were people making money off the Japanese Broadcast Audio?

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 the...

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 thin...

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 well,...

Re: English Movie Titles - TOEI Vs. FUNimation

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 gro...

Ah! Thanks. Glad to have that cleared up. I always kinda knew that Saban gave them much better distribution. It's a shame they couldn't have gone with Saban from the beginning. :( Still, there does then remain the mystery of why the plug was pulled after DBZ's second season; it was apparently a pre...

If Harmony Gold still have the Dragon Ball episodes they dubbed (which I'm doubtful of) yes they probably could, if Funimation were interested. Problem is Funimation doesn't seem interested in promoting alternate dubs, as seen by their consistent refusal to release the Canadian dubs. Rock the Drago...
