Kanzenshuu

So I watched up to episode 4. That Toribot that showed up (episode 3) saying "It's not Penguin Village" makes me wonder what was said in the dub. I didn't bother to go back and watch. I believe he just made monkey noises. Episode 4 in particular cleared up a lot of questions I had about O...

After hearing how the new Sailor Moon dub pronounces Ami’s name I was wondering if “Namek” should similarly be pronounced “Naw-Mek” as opposed to “Nah-Mek”. I just ask because I don't hear a lot of people doing that. Even the more hardcore Japanese fans tend to use the Funimation dub's pronunciation.

Did anyone bring up Vegeta telling Goku that Freeza "made him this way"? Vegeta's speech about him being a tortured soul and Freeza making him a bad guy was a dub only thing. The dialogue is different enough where I'd argue that every character gets a personality shift to some extent or at...

I'm glad this wasn't just me. Those jokes bug the hell out of me.

Yeah, this is rad. I think the important question here is did Recoome come up with the idea of posing and Ginyu dug it? I always assumed Ginyu was the one coming up with all the poses and dances. Maybe Recoome was the mastermind all along. This literally changes everything. Forget your Super Saiyan ...

Holy fuck, that's out n' out obnoxious. It's absolutely grating after awhile. That's so bad it's not even funny.

Yeah that's correct, it's so you don't have a giant mountain of a quote.

Imagine if Toei hadn't gone for a name change and just kept the same title for the entire thing like the manga did. It's so bizarre that the above even needs to be said; it's like saying "You can get a lot more out of the last four seasons of Buffy by watching seasons 1-3 first". I totall...

Don't mean to mini-mod, and I said what I said in general - not meaning to call you out in particular Akumaito Beam - but I just don't see the appeal in sitting around and going 'WHAT A MORON' post after post. I dunno, he's free to have an opinion but I think we should feel free to voice our opinio...

The guy in the video is a complete moron. Its frightening to think that there are people out there that think the same way he does. I think it's kinda cool the anti-thinker is branching out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aglbKiIbJBg I know EX is probably going to get pissed about people dog piling...

Piccolo's theme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzwobqPM8m4&list=FLM0c-SJPYZyD5nCg5SATW7w&feature=share&index=6 Like Legacy of Goku it appears I'm a fan of the dub music...just so long as it's remixed and anywhere but the dub. :lol: Those tracks are amazing. I really like them a ton.

:lol: I seriously think the line was cuz of a 90s sugary drink which aired during the episodes. All this catch phrase discussion is interesting though. Mondo is just a turn of phrase though. It means 'a lot' or 'very'. Mikey used to use it from time to time in the old 1987 TMNT cartoon. I'm pretty ...

That seems to be the standard for FUNimation's cast: Pretty much everyone's acting improved dramatically once they all stopped trying to force out a "voice". Piccolo has always been the weirdest example of that to me. His voice was always pretty much fine but Sabat delivered all of his li...

I adore this thread and this subject. Yeah Mondo Cool was weird 80'sish slang. I love how the writers tried giving Krillin a catchphrase and they picked just the stupidest one. I have such a love for failed or shitty catphrases and that's both. It's writing decisions like those that make the dub a s...

This really brought me back to being a kid again. I haven't liked anything this "in-universe" for about a decade. Very interesting theory. I love it. I hope you branch out and do more stuff like this. That was a fun read.

The editing always really impresses me. I love it best when you just fix shit that the original animators fucked up on like 18's stockings or derp eyes. It's completely seamless to my (admittedly untrained) eyes. In my ideal fantasy world I'd just love to see you guys touch up all 291 episodes of th...

I don't know what they thought was going to happen when they took the original anime people knew and loved for years and decided to make it into Frankenstein's Monster. Of course a massive amount of people were going to have a visceral negative knee jerk reaction to it. They butchered the footage up...

From my perspective I feel like the adaptation of Viz's dialogue helps a lot. Z's subtitles have always been a little too literal to the point of being stilted to me. That's not to say Viz is perfect or anything of course. In general one of Toriyama's best abilities is to tell a story in such a fast...

Geeze, sometimes I wonder what the hell is wrong with my perception? How didn't I see that before?

Dragon Ball is kind of a prime example of a series that got stupid from terrible power scaling. Goku was literally the strongest person in the world by the end of part 1 so the beams got bigger, the transformations multiplied 10 fold, the old cast was replaced by a new cast who could keep up, yadda ...
