Did you really wait ten whole months to do nothing to finally post an essay about Barry Watson!? In all seriousness, I am curious about the psychology with how FUNi dub purists not only embrace the unnecessary liberties taken by Watson and co., but they seem to be glad they're different for the sak...

My first exposure was watching bits of Namek saga episodes of (what I believe was) DBZ Kai on a TV in the cafeteria of the community college where I took sunday swimming lessons at (I was around 6) I graduated high school like a week before Kai started airing in the States :| Christ I feel old. . I...

It would've been different for sure, but I certainly would not have been against it happening.

I imagine a lot of younger viewers watching Kai had already heard about DBZ through their parents or older relatives.

I don't know if a more faithful dub of DBZ would've succeeded, possibly but we'll never know for sure. The thing is, we pretty much do though. There was no issue with Pioneer/Ocean’s faithful dubs of Z movie 1 and 2 airing on Toonami. Kai was a ratings hit, to the point Nicktoons grabbed some Z mov...

ISO the Majin Buu and Fusion Sagas on Funimation DVD Singles in very good condition. Paypal is available for payment. DM me if you're willing to sell. I need one last Funimation DVD single, and it's Majin Buu- The Hatching. I would also be interested if anyone has the original DVD releases for Bard...

I'd say the Cell saga as the Freeza saga while mostly well-received also got a lot of complaints for being too long and drawn out and that there were too many episodes with not much happening(one of which was almost a clip-show), whereas I never really heard those same complaints about Cell/Androids.

. After this, when Funimation eventually got around to doing the full series dub, it was half-assed, barely-advertised, and consistently before, during, and after, Funimation has made every effort to downplay the original series To be fair, it being half assed was more reflective of Funimation’s ca...

snip I was making a crass joke about skinny white women. Ah OK my mistake :lol: I mean, i've seen worse dubs than that like 4Kids One Piece. Now that was an absolute travesty and by far the worst dub they did though most of their others like the earlier seasons of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh were actually...

For me, it's definitely Marron. Idk why, I just hate her appearance lol. Edit: I'm referring to Krillin's daughter. Not his ex. Maron's design is definitely the laziest, I actually mistook her for Bulma today because her hair looks very similar as it has the exact same color and almost the exact sa...

Damn you're right, their hairstyles look so similar that I mixed the two up, whoops :lol: :lol: :lol: I legitimately remember watching the Garlic Jr New Years marathon in 2001 and thinking they were the same person until they appeared on screen together Not helping Vollmer’s valley girl performance...

Piccolo for sure.

Don't like it. Wish they had just done a replacement score, preferably Faulconer. Don't like the narrator. Don't like the actors. Don't like the dialogue. Lord help us all if Funimation had decided to have Team Faulconer replace Dragon Ball’s bgm. The “goofy” music in Z was painful and would have m...

Sailor Moon for me.

I like Bulma more because she reacts how most normal people would react to crazy situations like she always finds herself in, but unlike Chi-Chi she actually knows how to get shit done when necessary and she's also pretty funny. Her scenes with Yajirobe and the cat(damn I can't remember either his d...

Having recently watched the Pioneer dub I can confirm that it was in fact called "Power Ball" there. I do think the first two seasons had worse dialogue with all of the lame attempts at covering up death, but the fact that the Ocean voice-cast were all experienced actors made it easier for...

Bulma
The Androids
Cell
Freeza
Vegeta
Videl

"Prelude to Conflict" for me, specifically the first version for the Garlic Jr/Android Sagas.

Even through the dub, I think Goku's basic motivation shines through and is clear. That's what appeals to people in those gyms. Gyms are all about pushing yourself to your limits and beyond. I’ve honestly never known a single person outside of Internet forums to get hung up on the “paragon of justi...
