Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues the Funimation brand on April 2

I would imagine that Dragon Ball would’ve most likely received a heavily edited and Americanized dub regardless of who got the license back in the 90s. That was the norm for anime geared towards a younger audience at the time. It depends who had the license back then. If Viz or Pioneer pick it up, ...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

Viz's manga translations are not very good. You can tell they were done in the 90s with Goku being like "What's up bro" in the first chapter.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I hated that Goku was a kid during the entire run in GT. It felt creepy and depressing that Chi Chi is married to a child (even if it's a 50 year old adult in a kids body) and that Goku would out live his friends & family. He should turn back into an adult after Baby died. Hopefully, not everyon...

Re: If Toriyama decided to bring Zamasu back

Zamasu is too evil to become good. His hard hate towards mortals will never change and the character was erased from Zeno. It was the first time where we had a villain to be erase from existence because he was too hard to be killed.

Re: Underrated dubs?

Blue Water's dub for GT is underrated. They use proper names for once like Oozaru and not something stupid like Great Ape. The performances and voices sound better too. Super Yi Xing Long and Sì Xīng Lóng doesn't sound like someone who is smoking several cigarettes in one succession. Dr. Myu doesn't...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

As a kid, I was exposue to worse stuff than what I see in anime like DB. I had to read the Bible at a young age because my family was Roman Choathic and the stuff that read was truly shocking and disturbing.

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

I think most kids over the age of 8 can watch uncut Dragon Ball just fine as long as they haven't been brought up to be disrespectful little shits and understand boundaries and personal space and consent Pretty much this. Kids are a lot smarter than people give them credit for. When I was a kid, I ...

The same kids who got into anime through Dragon Ball Z would have just gotten into it through Naruto or Gundam or Yugioh Probably not Naruto Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, etc already had fans in the US before their anime was dub. If DBZ didn't air on TV and was a direct to video anime title, I bet the...

This thread is almost 15 years old and yet no Ocean Kai dub. I think All American Massacre has a better chance on being released than Ocean Kai at this rate :lol:

Goku had to read Roshi's magazines as a kid. I think he has a clear idea on what sex was.

Maybe, but I don't see one happening anytime soon seeing that we get a new game once every two years now. Many people are still hoping for DBF2 and XV3 to happen.

If they want another celebrity for a character, I would want Tony Todd as Moro. His voice would be perfect for the character.

The Saiyan saga for me because 1. I love the general tone of the story. Giving us another darker arc and open a big can of worms for the series.
