Re: Westwood and mid-late Funimation release dates?

Interestingly enough, Sean Schemmel once mentioned on his Facebook page that he believed that the Westwood dub was getting its scripts by having somebody watch the FUNimation dub as it aired on TV and transcribe what they heard. The reason he said he knew this to be true was because there were a nu...

Re: Excellent article on Viz and manga issues

Well, now I know why the cast I prefer was done away with by FUNimation and I'll never get more than three movies of "my" DBZ. At least the current work of the in-house is pretty awesome, though, and it's led to a lot of great stuff from FUNimation. I just wish DBZ wasn't their learning g...

Re: Why does Europe not get enough attention with Toei

I was unaware it had gotten that bad for the German speaking countries. Traditionally the German market had been pretty decent for anime. Lack of money meant almost no importing the odd off disc from places so I haven't paid much attention as of late. Are the German distributors still hardcore about...

Re: Why does Europe not get enough attention with Toei

I am not asking for everything as I know we are a small nation and not as big as America,but when we hear about a movie release once again,when we haven't even had one even though it has been dubbed we just get very annoyed Ok, it appears you are specifically talking about the UK. Yeah, because of ...

Re: Why does Europe not get enough attention with Toei

The problem was we were promised the "Battle of Gods" movie, and even given a time in which dates were soon to be announced, then suddenly time passes and the next thing we hear about this is "get ready for Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods coming to DVD"and people were up in arms as...

Re: Dragon Box vs Original Broadcast - The Audio

This whole statement sort of just feels like you are making yourself feel self important. Provocation? I chose this way to make you write something. It seems that it finally worked.

Re: Ever thought about this?

At this point in Dragon Ball you need the person's body in reasonably good condition for the person to be brought back. Gohan had died awhile ago and was seemingly buried by Goku. Technically Gohan's body is still in tip-top shape: he fights Goku with it at Uranai Baba's palace. It was actually men...

Re: Dragon Box vs Original Broadcast - The Audio

Despite what I would do or write, you can always say: “ you cannot prove that ”. You just proved that you don't know how to properly describe what I already did. Get some basic knowledge about audio and formulate some meritorical accusations. Then we can talk about it. This whole statement sort of ...

A few issues. At this point in Dragon Ball you need the person's body in reasonably good condition for the person to be brought back. Gohan had died awhile ago and was seemingly buried by Goku. As far as I recall Goku is never actually aware he was the cause of Gohan's death. Goku himself as a child...

Re: Toei animation and FUNimation Relations

Traditionally Toei has had issues in getting licensors proper materials and various other issues. In recent years this seems to have vanished to a large degree (roughly around when the newest attempts by them and Toei America took a nosedive.) In recent years they've actually seemed to work with com...

Re: Dragon Box vs Original Broadcast - The Audio

Lots of stuff Theoretically possible, but you don't even have a mockup to prove that. By your own claim, you don't have the setup to actually properly test that the audio is even coming out correctly with what you are doing. Nor do you actually claim you have the audio background or technical skill...

Re: Is Toei Relying too much on DBZ and other older properti

Power Rangers has never been a thing in Japan. That's as much a misnomer as the 'Power Rangers when brought back to Japan is hugely successful, moreso than Sentai' It's clearly been popular enough that since they started dubbing the series again in 2011 that they've kept going. If it was that popul...

Re: Is Toei Relying too much on DBZ and other older properti

I wonder why Toei has never tried to redo Go Lion (Voltron) now that would be interesting. Well, that gets to the crux of the matter to some degree, and is something a lot of people forget in these types of conversations (although you seem to be aware enough of it, which is partially why you asked ...

Re: Is Toei Relying too much on DBZ and other older properti

You seem to forget that their primary market is not the west. They occasionally do something 'for' the west, but it's not the part they are really concerned about. But the most recent numbers suggest they're in the midst of one of the high points of international licensing for them. Looking at recen...

Re: Toonami 2014 DBZKai Ratings!

I know they're on at later hours, but it pains me to see Shippuden and Inuyasha outperforming TTGL and One Piece. Thankfully, Family Guy, a show with superior fight scenes to any Toonami shows, outpaces all of them even on 10 year old repeats. And don't forget that Family Guy is what we have to tha...

Re: Dragon Box vs Original Broadcast - The Audio

I've seen you described as a 'quasi-admin' by staff and have occasionally seen you exercise that title. If I'm wrong then that's a poor assumption on my part and I can only apologise. Quasi-admin would not be an overly wrong statement. But I'm not a mod, nor do I moderate even as a 'quasi-admin.' I...
