Re: What's more important for you: Fitting voices, Good voice acting or Good screams?
These are not some kind of either/or tradeoff. Screaming is not a wholly separate skill from any other kind of acting, and being able to fit into a role is still part of a performance. At best, it's up to the casting directors to choose people who fit more naturally, or who are better or worse at ge...

Re: Criticism
I don't think VegettoEX is some untouchable saint or anything but this thread is still really fucking funny. Oh no, us dubbies are so oppressed. That's why the only ones who get in trouble are the guys who can never be normal about it. Must be because they like the dub, obviously. I get banned here ...

Re: New Dragon Ball Z Blu-Rays From Crunchyroll Coming August 1st
The version of the show used in the 30th BDs was fine before they smeared all the grain off and gamma-blasted it to oblivion. The problem is that they only have to release the show with decent-looking footage once, and they want to be able to hold that carrot-on-a-stick over fans' heads until the su...

Re: Deceased people you wish had worked on Dragon Ball
This is kind of a weird thread to make, I'm not so sure it's a good idea. I feel like a more general "people you wish could do something for DB" thread could encompass the idea fine without the questionable stipulation of said people being dead.

Re: Does Toriyama regret the racist caricatures he included
I'm pretty sure the only thing Toriyama regrets doing is stuff that increased the workload of writing and drawing the series. He absolutely does not give a fuck about the implications of anything he's made, I think.

Re: Would you prefer replacing the VAs or having AI voices of them?
The thing is, you can say "geeks need to accept change" all you want, but I honestly think in abstract it's okay to want art to appeal to your comfort zone. Especially in an ongoing series that doesn't hard-reboot all the time, consistency is a value people care about a lot. Voice doubles ...

Re: Dragon Ball's spiritual successor
Dragon Ball only is the big weird thing that it is because its fundamentally based in being a comedy series that featured martial arts, which transitioned into more action fare as a matter of course. I don't think most of the suggested manga and anime quite fit as spiritual successors because they'r...

Re: Are you sick of Goku?
I'm not sick of Goku, and to be honest, I don't think anyone else is either. What I am (and I think many other people are) sick of is the production staff behind Dragon Ball having no particular idea what they want from the series. Goku is not so much a consistent character as the thing they cling t...

Re: Dragon Ball GT Would’ve Been Rated A Masterpiece If It Used The Plot Of The Metarex Saga From Sonic X
The stories are just not analogues. People love to bring up Sonic since it takes some superficial stuff from Dragon Ball, but it's fundamentally a very different story. Sonic's themes relate to freedom as much for oneself as for others, and an innate curiosity for the world and its many cultures, wi...

Re: Dragon Ball and AI in voice acting
I'll make it creepier for you. For now these are stand alone products but the expectation is that these will be combined in the future. Basically you could just give a prompt to, for example, have Joe Biden give a speech on Zelda games and out comes a deepfaked video including realistic voice actin...

Gosh, is it really that hard for you to understand? Of course that most left-wingers and right-wingers don't like each other. All I'm saying is that if right-wingers were in favor of stuff like universal healthcare, LGBT rights and pro-abortion, then left-wingers like yourself would tolerate them, ...

Re: Could foreign dub casts be a thing of the past?
Even if an AI can sound "accurate", that's never going to be the same thing as actually giving a good performance, and these clips do a good job of showing just how far off a voice can be taken when it's fed clips of one language and forced to interpolate them to another. They have the ton...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity
Of course, they always deal with people with disagree with them. It's politics we're talking about here. That's exactly my point. Left-wingers would only like the right if it was like the left, basically another left. I'm still not seeing your point here. Both sides essentially want the other to no...

I always get the feeling that left-wingers would only tolerate right-wingers if they agreed them with on everything. What is this even supposed to mean? If a right-winger agreed with the left on everything, they wouldn't be right-wing. Are you suggesting leftists never deal with people who even rem...
