Heh, kind of funny (in a, "Man, time flies..."-kind of way) to see me being quoted from almost a decade ago. I'm old. :lol: But yeah, as others have noted, FUNimation used the Spanish audio/visual masters for dubbing purposes, at when their in-house dub began. When they were using the Ocea...

Mills is probably not making public statements because his lawyer has told him not to. That's exactly why he hasn't made a statement... And actually, in going to ANN to look up the sentence in the article where they confirm just that, I learned of a new development: "Duncan," the man in q...

I guess the question is now, since it's been three weeks since the individual I contacted at Toon-A-Vision proceeded to email Ken Morrison again after seeing my eagerness for his channel to acquire Kai, should I message him again to see if Ken has responded to his email? I'm conscious that there's ...

You know, sidebar, I was wondering...couldn't FUNimation's talent pool band together and form a union and FUNimation would basically have to capitulate at this point? Or does Texas law prevent that from happening? Or would FUNimation really go through the trouble of out-sourcing to a different pool...

TheBlackPaladin can explain this more, as it's been his theory, but what if Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai is the holdup? It's a TOEI show that was being dubbed by Ocean, but there's been controversy surrounding Ocean's decision to outsource some of the voicework to non-Union dubbing studios in...

I certainly don't want to give the impression that I was blaming FUNimation for this, so I apologize if I did. The majority of the VO industry is non-union at this point anyway.

I don’t know if being able to afford the bills would have improved his situation, but I still believe Funimation should have given him more insurance (if they didn’t give it at all). He was a well respected voice actor for DBS, after all! In non-union productions (which the dub of DBS was), actors ...

It's such a tragedy. Even putting aside how amazing he was as Freeza, he was just a great guy in general. Not to mention incredibly funny...years ago, Ohayacon held a roast of Chris Sabat, where Chris was both the host and a speaker...and my god, he was so. Damn. Funny. May he rest in peace. PS: I c...

I kinda sometimes wonder, if SubZero Ice is just putthere, lurking on these boards now. I really hope not. Confession time, but I really don't care for that individual. Do I think he's lying about who he is? No, quite the opposite. But I resent the fact that he gave us so little to work with (presu...

Did any international releases (DVD era onward) have their own 5.1 Surround mixes with M&E tracks separate from the voiceovers in such a fashion or similar for their dubs of the series and if so which country and what release? Surly FUNimation can't be the only DBZ licensee and distributor that...

- 2018 Thanksgiving Day Parade showcase; Al Roker pronounces "Saiyan" correctly Aaaaahhhh man!!! I didn't watch the parade that year, so I missed that. Not only is it cool that Roker pronounced it correctly, but it brings such a great level of joy to me to know that an instrumental versio...

'Ya know, it's funny, I actually started writing/adapting the English ADR scripts for a show not too long ago (can't say which one as I'm still NDA-bound, but I will reveal it's not a Dragon Ball show)...and after trying my hand at it, some of FUNimation's writing decisions make more sense to me, wh...

Scott's issue with it seems to be that the pronunciations of certain words were changed to be more accurate to the Japanese pronunciations, which... isn't actually a bad thing. I understand why he would view it that way through, as his involvement with the franchise has had heavy Funimation influen...

It’s entirely likely Toei sent Funimation the master tapes of Harmony Gold’s dub when Funimation acquired the license. Whether they’re in any good condition now is another story . FUNimation definitely received some kind of materials from the Harmony Gold dub. It's remarkable how many script simila...

When this thread was made I was only like middle school age, now I'm old enough to hypothetically get married and start a family. Trying to wrap my head around that. :crazy: I hear 'ya, I was a junior in college, now I'm seeing posts from people who were kids and "grew up" with Dragon Bal...

Why not wish for Shenron to be free? He lives in magical balls all year round and is only let out for a moment just to grant some peckerhead's selfish desire. Shenron could probably do a lot more for the world or even the universe if he wasn't trapped in a singular purpose for all eternity. I dunno...

If FUNimation was able to get bilingual releases out by the year 2000 I see no reason why Pioneer wouldn’t. I'm sure they would have come around eventually--they did come around eventually--but what I'm saying is, if we're talking about a hypothetical world where Pioneer got it first, that would me...

A thought, though: even if Pioneer got the license to the show, it doesn't necessarily mean they would have released it bilingual and uncut. Gen Fukunaga mentioned that it was apparently quite the hassle to get Toei to agree to an uncut, bilingual home video release of the TV series back when they f...

Or a lifetime supply of mangos.

Those are...very different wishes.

4Kids did a reasonably good job with the early days of the Pokemon dub, it's true. I also have to give it props for the first eight seasons being a union dub (it went non-union for many years when 4Kids was out of the picture, only to recently go back to being union now that it's on Netflix). The sc...
