Re: Are There Any Updates On The Harmony Gold Dub Of Dragon Ball?

Haven’t finished all of episode 2 but I can’t help but notice both Bulma and Goku errr Lena and Zero have called each other cute. Guess Harmony Gold really wanted Goku x Bulma to be a thing? I see hg are people of culture. But yeah that was unexpected. Kinda wanna see how they'd have handled the wh...

Re: Are There Any Updates On The Harmony Gold Dub Of Dragon Ball?

Finally sitting down and watching the hg movie in one sitting. A few thoughts come to mind: The voice acting is really good, like yeah using SAG actors paid tf off. The 89 commercials are crazy nostalgic. Still not quite feeling goku's voice, but then again I'm not huge on English *kid* goku VA. Fun...

Re: Are There Any Updates On The Harmony Gold Dub Of Dragon Ball?

So this means all 5 episodes of the HG dub have been found? Holy shit that's awesome! :D Your source is doing a great service :angel: Indeed, not only that but we may be able to use the VHS footage to restore this dub or most of it completely. already an attempt at episode 1 on archive.org. looks p...

Re: Are There Any Updates On The Harmony Gold Dub Of Dragon Ball?

Another update. Kei17 has given me permission to share his VOB of episode 1, which is a higher quality file than the anonymous copy I was given a week ago. I will be sharing it somewhere once the other episodes are digitized either today or tomorrow. Do note he won’t be as active due to his dog pas...

Re: Are There Any Updates On The Harmony Gold Dub Of Dragon Ball?

Has anyone tried playing the harmony gold movie or eposide(s) that we have with an audio receiver with dolby surround/prologic(ll/x)? The 1995 dub funi did with kidmark(and probably that video of movie 1 from funi that uses the HG names) all have dolby stereo. Basically a 4.0 surround sound, 3 chann...

Re: Why doesnt Roshi wish to be younger?

Huh? I mean, relative to the Saiyans they didn't do much but Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha far exceeded ANYTHING Roshi was capable of And then quickly plateaued. Roshi meanwhile continued to push past his limits when he decided to resume training himself so that by the time of the ToP he's far exceeded...

Re: Why doesnt Roshi wish to be younger?

Hes already supposedly 'immortal' as far as dying from old age goes. and has shown hes keeping up his training. An undying(save for from murder or sacrificing his life force) old master that just keeps training and getting more badass? thats a good character for roshi

Re: Team Faulconer - Singles vs Orange Bricks

And that doesn't include the situation with the Ultimate Uncut dub which has never been released to completion in its original form I wonder if anyone taped those for UU “broadcast audio” ... But if I just wanted to see the dub, I would consider the UU redub in the same light as the OB revision. Wh...

Re: Team Faulconer - Singles vs Orange Bricks

Friendly heads up. The voice filters were removed as part of Funimation's revisioning of the series when they released the OBs. I believe they did what they could to make it more like the original product without scrapping the dub and redoing it. I've seen people on YouTube make comparison videos s...

Re: Team Faulconer - Singles vs Orange Bricks

Very interesting, I had no idea some VHS tapes had better audio quality then DVDs. yeah basically all from 86 or so, since hi-fi tapes can be played on non hi-fi players without issue using the legacy(worse than dvd imo) audio, assuming they are in good condition will. But only 2 channels so it max...

I was under the impression that well-authored ac3 was better than VHS Hi-Fi... ...then again, I did say "well-authored", and as little I know about the audio bitrate of the singles, I know the video bitrate was shit lol. vhs hi-fi(if in good condition) is comparable to uncompressed pcm/cd...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

There is a system, just a very simple one - what Freeza says goes. Yeah because he's the boss. That doesn't make him some kind of king or head of state. I'm not sure what you're arguing here, that a government and business are one in the same? That immoral or unethical businesses aren't truly busin...

Yup, thats why I watch my single remuxes over the OB(or season sets ot 30thA) when i wanna watch dubbed. also why I'm collecting vhs tapes so I can get the raw hifi stereo and replaced the overly compressed ac3 on the dvds with it. since the cut and uncut had pretty much the same placment it gets me...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

The Piccolo saga ends in a martial arts tournament. In Dragon Ball, the fighting is more skilled base - sweeps, counters, strategy, etc. etc. in DBZ, it's all about power and brawling. That's why martial arts music works when Goku fights Tenshinhan, but not when Goku fights Furiza. DBZ also has str...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

In Dragon Ball, the training is about getting better at martial arts in order to fight at tournaments/test skill. In DBZ, you get stronger to destroy your enemy. That's the major difference. DBZ has martial arts, but that is not its main genre. This is why I think Faulconer's action packed OST work...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

What do you consider martial arts, and why don't ki blasts qualify? Martial arts are absolutely the primary goal. Hell, for all the talk of time travel in the Cell arc, it eventually ends in a martial arts tournament. Martial arts are specific - meaning you learn them from a school. For example: th...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

What school of martial arts was Furiza or Cell or Buu or Vegeta from? I wasn't aware that's a necessary qualification. Piccolo isn't from a school of martial arts either, but he does use martial arts. He uses martial arts, his mentality is that of a martial artist. Adding to this, even if we accept...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

Yes, they were able to change that marketing because of the huge tonal shifts. There's a reason it happened with the arrival of Raditz, and not Demon King Piccolo. Goku (and Piccolo) being aliens was such a twist it was a retcon AFAIC. No. The reason it happened at Raditz is because Morishita took ...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

There's a reason Toei called it Dragon Ball Z - it's so different from Dragon Ball. Yes, there is a reason Toei called it Dragon Ball Z, and it has nothing to do with ongoing gradual narrative shifts that those involved in the production at the time would have had little way of seeing in a broader ...

So, I am to understand that two of the remaining four episodes are confirmed to be a part of this other tape? It says Special 124, so does that mean it's Episodes 2 and 4? its what our hope is from my understanding. IF so hopefully those, and that youtuber who got his hands on the funi dub with HG ...
