And the reality is that the story behind the dub isn't especially bizarre; [...] People have built the Westwood dubs' history up as being this huge, mythical thing over the years, but it's really quite straightforward. It might not be bizarre to you and me but it is bizarre to the average fan. The ...

As far as Big Green dubs go, those should just be additional audio tracks or thrown in the bonus features on uncut movie releases. The same goes for the Pioneer uncut movie dubs honestly. The AB movie dubs definitely don't warrant their own independent release. The main reason to include Pioneer's u...

And there's also the approach Kenji Yamamoto took with his plagiarized Budokai soundtrack. It ripped off a lot of heavy metal songs, often going for a similar hardcore vibe to Funimation's replacement scores. I've never gotten the vibe that the Budokai soundtracks were influenced by Faulconer's sty...

From what I could tell, the anti-sub crowd seemed to die down somewhat after Super arrived as it was the only way to consume new content for a long time. Even dub purists seemed to hold their noses and get used to it for once which was one of the few positive things I can say of that series. To be h...

There's no doubt it would have been a far better uncut dub than the one we got on the singles or remastered sets. While the production of the broadcast dub was always going to sadly involve Barry Watson as producer, the uncut dubs produced by Pioneer were not, and were going to be better for it. I t...

A few random things I noticed in my own experience over the years, mainly from a UK centric perspective. US: Aside from the obvious broadcast and home releases, I've always noticed the subtle differences in videogame localisation prior to (roughly) 2008 or so. Japanese singing/vocal tracks were abse...

Probably those bands were chosen because they were cheap talent Funi could easily contact from their Texas HQ. They just picked whatever was popular on the radio at the time. The Digimon movie did the same thing a year before Funimation did their releases of DBZ Movie 4-5. I'm surprise Linkin Park,...

The first I ever heard of it is when I was roughly seven years old. Living in the UK I used to often watch Cartoon Network and Fox Kids back in 1998-1999. I eventually saw the first CN ad promoting the premiere of DBZ, I just remember thinking the characters looked unique, edgy and I wanted to see m...

Dragon Ball GT Ending 4 [Sabitsuita Machine Gun]
Dragon Ball GT Ending 1 [Deen - Hitori ja Nai]
Dragon Ball Kai TFC Ending 5 [Gacharic Spin - Don’t Let Me Down]

Don't care for the others.

I'm not aware of what Paul Dobson did, but Kirby Morrow's announcement followed the speculation that started on Facebook thanks to SubZero Ice mentioning it and Sean Schemmel reaffirming his claims. So Kirby might have not said anything had that not happened. In fact, I believe I recall him in fact...

- Anything related to DB Heroes - The weird Xenoverse cutscenes with the DeviantArt looking Bardock - The latter half of the Super series. - A chunk of Kai 1.0 and most of Final Chapters. - Dragon Ball GT special (only caught clips) - The first three Dragon Ball movies prior to Dead Zone - A few epi...

Subzero Ice saying what he said didn't change anything. Kirby Morrow and Paul Dobson both independently revealed info about it that same year on the Voice Print podcast. Fans would have still discussed this dub back then even if he didn't post anything. The only misleading and controversial part was...

The Good Future Gohan - My personal favourite. I think it's pretty self-explanatory as to why but aside from the obvious, I've always found his design quite fascinating as he represented Toriyama's earliest idea of an adult Gohan, so in a sense, he's more of a prototype with a personality closer to...

Tbh I honestly didn’t like any of the Texas voices for Ginyu. Richard Newman was the best by far. Kelly’s Ginyu just made me think of cheesy 80s kid cartoons villains. Like from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I have to agree. A lot of Funi's season 3 dub reminded me of an 80s dub at times and he was ...

FUNimation seemed to more or less stop making changes to the dub track by the time they got to the Majin Boo episodes, outside of removing the voice filters for certain characters, and retaining certain moments of dialogue that were cut from the broadcast and the singles. If Killa were in Season 3,...

What repercussions could they possibly face at this point? Realistically none, but online rage mobs have seemingly gone after companies for less in the past. I realize it's been left too late now. I'm honestly surprised it even got past Toonami US when it first aired but they seemed to have a lax a...

I've never really been one to focus on race, especially having grown up in a very diverse family and set of communities when I was younger. When I started watching DBZ as a child, Popo wasn't a character that immediately struck me as problematic mostly because of his Arabic/djinn clothing and elf ea...

I tend to agree that Funimation did make a bit of a mess translating and adapting certain things for their dub, whether that be due to genuine mistakes interpreting the original language or questionable Americanizing/localising of certain names. For example, I still find it difficult to accept 'Omeg...

I don't give a crap if the Ocean guys don't sound like the Funimation guys. I simply don't think Brown works as Mr. Satan. To be fair, your initial post didn't come across that way. You did say "Mr Satan is like an anime Hulk Hogan" which exactly describes Chris Rager's portrayal since he...

Well, that's better than I expected of them honestly, if a little too late. I still wouldn't personally spend money on it due to Funimation's DNR but hey, at least it's 4:3.
