Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 12; Still Unreleased

Saffron was not voicing Gohan when Tao showed up in Z filler. He looks different in those scenes anyway and it makes no sense for her to have been shown scenes she would not be dubbing. Harmony Gold also dubbed Mystical Adventure so they would have also had a script to work off of, with some tweeks ...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 12; Still Unreleased

There was that flashback during the Android saga of Z that showed Tao. Saffron was still voicing Gohan at the time, so perhaps she just remembered that episode. I'm aware, but Kelamis dubbed them instead of her and when questioned if it was a flashback she didn't seem to think it was so make of it ...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 12; Still Unreleased

On that note did you catch what Saffron Henderson was saying about how the first episode of Dragon Ball was her favourite and it was redone at Ocean? That part confused me. This is something that Saffron has brought up before, she mentioned it to a friend of mine who met her at a convention. He was...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 12; Still Unreleased

I was watching the stream as well. Unfortunately, it seemed to crash right when they answered my first question about Peter and Ian not being asked to audition for Kai. All I could gather was something at the end of the answer about actors being unavailable so it didn't sound like they recalled anyt...

Re: Who is responsible for the remixed Kikuchi music in DBZ Movies 12 & 13 in some European dubs?

These sound like covers or newly composed replacement tracks. I only recognized one of the melodies in the clips belonging to Kikuchi but I'm not an expert on his music.

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

I think the UK branch of Crunchyroll (once known as Manga UK) would be willing to get the AB remaster, broadcast audio, slap on Funimation's dub, Steve Simmons/Clyde Mandelin subtitles, hire out Visual Data London (as they did for Super Broly) to author the discs but it would take someone with a lo...

Re: Isn’t It In Toei’s/Funimation’s Legal Right to Use The Original Broadcast Audio on Future Releases?

I suspect Toei simply have the option to turn a blind eye in the case of foreign distributors, as only hardcore audiophiles will recognize the difference in audio and even fewer will be likely to know the origins of the source being used. Even then, how do you go about proving wrongdoing? It's a lot...

Now, how can I petition MangaUK or Funimation UK or Crunchyroll UK or whoever the fuck it is to import this to the UK with English subs! I don't see how that's realistically going to happen though. In the past Manga was averse to working with AB and only wanted Funi's hand-me-downs. Now they're eff...

Re: Ever felt grateful for owning the show?

Not really. I might've been grateful when I was too young to know any better but I can't say I've ever really agreed with the way the series was distributed in the past. The publishers have tended to be questionable in their methods or just inept. On the other hand, I am very grateful for the fan pr...

Re: Is there any scenario where Dragonball Evolution could have made money?

I'd say James Marsters was relatively well known, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a huge hit in the 90s. I'm not sure what other stars could have helped the movie. Maybe James Earl Jones as Shenron? Although good actors can be wasted in bad movies, so it's probably for the best the rest of the cast we...

Re: Is there any scenario where Dragonball Evolution could have made money?

Since the brand wasn't strong enough It would've needed to attach itself to a recognizable star to draw attention, and that wasn't happening without a good director on board. All of that would have inflated the budget and made it unprofitable regardless of how good the film was, because as MrSatan20...

Re: Budokai 1 20th Anniversary Thread

The first Budokai was awesome. The story cutscenes were so well made and Kenji Yamamoto's soundtrack (in spite of the plagiarism) left a lasting impression on me as it was clearly composed with high production quality. I almost wish tracks like these (or versions of them) had been in the anime as th...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 12; Still Unreleased

I have to admit that over the past decade it has gotten more and more on my nerves how apparent it is that the Ocean Studios actors seem to care very little about their roles as such iconic characters. Gonna be honest, I don't think that's a fair comment considering they're constantly recording new...

Re: Anyone else feels bad about the short running Dragon Ball Z trading cards from 2005/6?

I didn't live in the US or regions where the US trading card game was officially distributed however they did appear as imports in a few UK comic book shops back in 2003-2004. I had managed to buy a Buu starter deck and a few booster packs before I realized how garbage they were. The cards were of p...

Re: 20 years ago today CNX launched

I'm surprised to find out that UK airings of Z were briefly ahead of US and Canada's. I was always under the assumption things didn't catch up until the tail end but I guess it was more complicated. CNX was a great little channel while it lasted and I'm glad I was there to witness it. Along with DBZ...

Re: Why did the dub keep Hercule's name in Super Hero?

Actually, come to think of it, if FUNimation had to come up with a different name for Mr. Satan to appease the censors, why didn’t they just call him Hades or something? Parents definitely would not have had a problem with that. Dante is more appropriate. Fits the hell motif and doubles as a refere...

Perhaps debunking your past assertion that the Ocean cast imitated Funi's cast upon returning for the 'Westwood' dub would be a good place to start. Regarding Kai, I can't imagine he'd have much more to say on the matter since the Geekdom interview but maybe specific questions about castings might j...

Gohan experiencing PTSD and dwelling on his father's death in the Boo arc is all headcanon stuff btw, and you shouldn't fall into the trap of treating him like a real person. It's not how Toriyama chose to write Gohan in that arc. Instead, he's portrayed as an optimistic teenager which, you could ar...
