You already have. It's called Dragonball Z.

Well, that's because, as has been said before, the first two seasons were still FUNimation's dub, not Ocean's. So FUNimation was just reusing their own scripts for their redub. It's not really analogous to how Ocean used FUNimation's scripts for their own later seasons. Not that it excuses the prac...

Funimation was the licensor and they most likely approved the scripts. They probably supervised the scripts but I think it's safe to assume that Funimation had more responsibility for the scripts than Ocean in episodes 1-53. Funimation also credit themselves for post production. They didn't have a ...

Because it makes more financial sense for a Canadian company to produce and sell their own dub to Canadian television stations than to allow those stations to air an American production. It should cost more money to make and then purchase a dub from scratch than it would to license an existing dub....

What's the point to this when DB KAI IS ALREADY AIRING IN CANADA?!?!? Canada already gets CW, we watch it every Saturday just like the Americans do. I know right? If it's already airing in Japan, America and Canada, then there's no point! It's already airing all over the world! /sarcasm I think he'...

An Ocean DVD release has always been technically possible in Europe, but was never even on the radar because of AB Groupe's tendency to ignore markets outside of its native France. That said, now that AB Groupe has lost the license to the franchise after all these years, that chance has slightly inc...

Wrong. In norway, we have a shop called Outland, witch sells english manga and enlish dubbed anime. i bought all the orange bricks there. It's not "wrong." Those are imports from North America, not releases that are exclusive to your country. In Australia, FUNimation releases alternate ve...

It could be the same now, or perhaps they will put Kai out in Canada at some point. But, one thing bothers me. Why do people keep saying an Ocean Dub would be cheaper to purchase than the FUNi dub? Does Ocean regularly charge less? Does FUNi charge more for international licensing? Anyone who has s...

In all honesty I don`t an ocean dub of kai will happen because of the licsence being owned by funimation and not ocean. :| maybe not for Canada but there's still Europe. The Ocean dub of Dragonball Z aired in Canada despite FUNimation's hold of the Canadian distribution rights. Given that no Canadi...

Yes, Ken Morrison is the head honcho of Ocean Productions. It was also his decision to use the Blue Water cast for the dubs of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT. A rumor was going around for a while that the Ocean voice actors who voiced the characters for the Westwood Media Dub of DBZ were originally...

Except that Ryo Horikawa can't scream.

In contrast, about 70% of what Drummond did was scream. And he did it very well.

Because it's entirely unnecessary. It would cost a lot less to license an already existing dub than it would be to license the series, pay translators, a director, many actors, and put time and money to put out a good release. Unless Funi's just going to rip off Canada, but I doubt they'd charge to...

A whole boatload of cartoons aired in America are dubbed in Canada, and visa versa. I don't see the big deal behind airing Funimation's Kai dub overe there and calling it a day. Because a Canadian-based company that has the means to produce its own dub wants to make money just as much as FUNimation...

By saving money, you can make more profit. Simple, no? That logic doesn't exactly follow. How would the Canadian company be making a profit by not making and selling their own dub to TV networks? And the networks who purchase the alternate Kai dub will presumably be saving money by purchasing a che...

Again, so can Australia. Even New Zealand can, for that matter. Using "just because they can" as an argument is stupid. No, actually, it's pretty valid. That's what you don't seem to understand. Canada has a well-established and lucrative voice acting industry. Australia does not. If Aust...

I don't see why Canada should get their own dub , just because children hated Season 3 ten years ago. Because they can. The DBZ series was a big deal for the Vancouver cast. Throughout its duration, it used some of Vancouver's best veteran actors. It brought in a lot of money, and that's ultimately...

Fair enough. I personally don't know anyone my age who complained about the voice acting (just the change in cast), but I guess I spoke too soon. My point is that everyone was pissed off at Season 3, for one reason or another. It wasn't just the Canadians. So why should they be the only ones to get...

And because at the time (Season 3), the FUNimation in-house cast was utter garbage. To older fans, yes. But to children, no. Kids don't give a shit about the quality of voice acting. I think you'd be surprised. I was a kid at the time of season 3 and not only did I hate the voice recasts (and notic...

Why?

Canadians were among the international audiences that did not respond positively to FUNimation's in-house voice cast.

One rather strange Ocean dub thing (I assume they're Ocean dub only, at least the second one; please let me know if I'm incorrect) I noticed was that Cell used two odd attacks names, different from the usual dub standard. The first was when he duplicated Freeza's remote control disc things when he ...
