Speaking of the legitimacy of the Speedy dub, I'm not sure about the old English dub on VCDs, but their later DVD release containing their new Malay dub has got Toei Animation's company logo on covers and it's sponsored by Sharp, a Japanese company. I don't think it was a bootleg release. My guess ...

Please note that as an American I'm going to have an English-speaking bias. Also, as a monolingual the stuff I know about these dubs' scripts I learned through the grapevine from years reading people's posts on this forum and any other critiques come from what I could gather from clips. (Dis)honorab...

While I'm certainly sad, 89 years is a really good run. For that reason, I feel different about Kikuchi-san's passing than I did about Tsuru-san's: instead of lamenting a life cut tragically short, I feel like we can celebrate a full life filled with immense accomplishment. The impact Kikuchi left o...

It's a practice I disagree with on principle since I think dubs should always keep the original score except in cases where the score is unavailable for reasons outside the licensor's control (like with the Yamamoto scandal for Kai or Dominion Tank Police where IIRC the M&E tapes were lost in a ...

L sadly TOEI has only given Super licences to companies that have either dubbed both Kai 1.0 and TFC or in Bang Zoon's case dubbed neither. The Arabic dub of Kai only covered ep 1-52 (meaning they barely failed to finish the Freeza saga) and yet they still managed to do Super (at least to the end o...

If nothing else, I would've loved to apply for an ADR Writer position. I have an English degree and ADR Writing is actually something I'm interested in, but I'm not sure how one goes about getting such a position without already being a Voice Actor (they seem to wear many hats in the anime dubbing ...

Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but I'm guessing this is just the Castilian Spanish dub with an alternate intro based in the French OP? I remember reading that some regions that aired the Latin Spanish dub of GT used an alternate dubbed version of Dan Dan recorded specifically for those b...

Moreover, with the quick pace of Kai and the very different edits in contrast to how the content was originally presented in Z , Kikuchi's score was never intended to be paired with it. His musical style is meant to go with the slower pace of Z . I never understand this "the Kikuchi score does...

Unironically Colleen Clinkenbeard. Her Luffy is excellent IMO and it wouldn't take much to adjust it to fit Goku.

I would love the "Who Wants to Be a Superhero?" fan manga to be canon. Also this short comic.

I'm gonna assume that "redub it" doesn't count (which is the first thing I'd do for the first three series). DB - Tone down the added sexual humor in filler, which would include removing the Obotchaman scene. DBZ - I don't know how to really improve things here other than the pacing, and K...

A goofy-sounding voice being demonstrated in a podcast off the cuff is pretty different from an actual performance, after all. Totally fair. I was just voicing my feelings based on this first impression. You're right that it's likely not going to sound exactly like that in the show proper. I suppos...

So it looks like Lee Tockar recently did an interview with a fan in which he talks about doing Freeza and gives some tidbits about the dub. He seems to be under the impression that Kirby Morrow was in the dub (he may be thinking about how Morrow talked about not being cast as Goku and mistook that a...

I'm so sad to hear this. He was such an amazing talent. I wish his family and friends all the best and hope he rests in peace.

Has this been officially confirmed anywhere? I understand Disney has the rights to it now and it makes sense that they would put it on Disney+ but I haven't heard anything concrete. It's actually steaming on Starz right now so I wonder how long that will last? If it is coming to Disney+, I say brin...

The boat has probably sailed timing wise, but maybe one day there will be a children's TV edit of Super. Such a thing does, in fact, exist. Versions of the show using edited dialogue have been airing in other countries like the UK, Australia, and any country that has Toonami Africa and CN Africa (f...

I'm not super familiar with a lot of his work, but he was really good in the roles I did hear him in. More importantly, from everything I heard from his friends and colleagues, he seemed to be an incredibly important figure in the professional voice acting community, both as a friend and as an advoc...
