Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming...

if Wow can't get kai, there may still b hope, Adult Swim Canada will be relaunching as a 24/7 channel on April 1, with newly acquired Adult Swim programming and content aired on the channel I honestly think if any channel has a shot at airing Kai it is Wow. We know from Lisa, Marni and my correspon...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

By the same token they could also have just as easily slapped their existing masters into the season sets albeit with a little touching up and they still would've sold like hotcakes . The 16:9 cropping and DNR'ing were quite frankly IMO pointless and stupid decisions because it's not like doing tho...

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

This is probably untrue, but I am curious if anyone has heard anything about a pre-BLT test dub by Funimation that used Harmony Gold's names with the exception of Oolong being called "Chester" and Pu'ar named "Prudence"? One of the wikis said this claim was posted on Usenet way b...

Re: Why wasn't DB Kai a completely new animated series?

Unlike a lot of people here I really don't have a problem with how Kai was created, at least for episodes 1-98. It is, after all the only cost effective way people can watch the Saiyan-Cell arcs in 4:3, and most likely new animation, much like Super would have been hit or miss to say the least. I al...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming...

Bringing the topic back to Kai and Wow! World, I'm not too worried. Especially after reading Dragon Ball Ireland's exchange with the people at Wow! Unlimited. For all we know, Bell could be putting a last minute gag order on the whole thing. Either that, or they want it to be a pure, unadulterated ...

Re: Will you be getting 30th anniversary set?

Is in a collectors style box and not just blu ray cases I personally prefer regular Blu-Ray cases even if the only extra packaging is a fancy box for all the cases because I like a certain amount of consistency on my shelves. I was glad TOEI took this approach for the movies box, but since Z comes ...

Re: Will you be getting 30th anniversary set?

If its in 4:3, (which seems likely), has great picture and audio quality and is priced reasonably I most likely will.

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

So does this mean there's no way for people outside of the US and Japan to secure a copy at the moment? For now, but I'd say that will change. Manga UK may even acquire this release if there's enough interest, so I'd definitely suggest recommending it by any means necessary. Enough people demanded ...

Uncensored. It's gotta happen now. I don't really see Blu-Ray still being a thing when the 40th anniversary h...

If they release this and it doesn't have the US Broadcast music (Faulconer/Johnson) as an option I'm not buying. It may well be an option, considering it was the standard for the Orange and Blu Bricks. The fact TOEI AND Funimation both tweeted is very interesting. Hopefully this means they came to ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Not sure how unpopular it is, but I'll say it. Sabat's performance as Yi Xing Long (also known as Omega Shenron in the dub) is the weakest character voice he's done for the series. It's too rough, mumbly and grating to listen to. I prefer Noah Umholtz from Blue Water's GT dub because while it may be...

Re: How could a new movie be more successful than DBS: Broly?

Idk, Broly was one of DB's biggest mainstream/canon fanservice projections ever. Like, we got Gogeta, Broly, and Bardock (some of the most popular characters in the franchise) all in one movie , and i'm honestly not sure how that can be topped unless we get some huge ass finale movie with Ultra Ins...

Ocean Kai for English dubs?

Obviously its never been released, but we know it exists and episodes 1-98 have been complete for about 5 years.

Re: How could a new movie be more successful than DBS: Broly?

I think Super Broly did fantastic considering the vast majority of people who went to see it were Dragon Ball fans rather than casual moviegoers. I still think a new movie could do even better if it gets an even wider release and longer run, especially if the story involves Goku, Vegeta, Broly, Free...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I suppose, although it is weird how the English version of Super is exclusively airing on Adult Swim. I feel that might mistakenly give the impression that the series is somehow meant for adults. Well seemingly no other channels in the US were interested in airing Super. I don't think why its only ...

Re: Samsung ends Blu-ray player production, impact on DB media?

How is that close to convenience? I'd say quite the contrary. Using only Netflix would be, using 5-10 services isn't. By the way, Dragon Ball series and movies are streamable on Netflix Japan. :) I was referring to purchasing individual titles on services like iTunes and Google Play. I often hear p...

Re: Samsung ends Blu-ray player production, impact on DB media?

Streaming services may be on the up, but so will their prices. Netflix has raised its subscription cost by $2 a month, and I have no doubt when Disney Plus catches on it will also go up. It may sound like an incremental jump in price, but when you consider all the streaming services there will soon ...
