Haha, it looks like Toei can no longer get away with jacking its licensees out of next episode previews anymore.

Re: DBK English Trailer

But is it? I'm pleased to hear that there are dub fans who are excited about an accurate dub, but how big is the demographic, I wonder, for the ones who are pissed that the ridiculous, inaccurate things they like about the dub are going away?

Re: Dragonball Kai dub?

However, reading that thread I realize to my horror that there's still one thing that can quite easily ruin this dub (or at least a good portion of the Saiya-jin and Freeza arcs): Kaio's voice. If he still sounds like a "fat, blubbering retard with a lisp" (thanks, Chris Psaros), that's st...

I'm speechless. I've been holding my tongue for a while now, but is it possible that FUNimation is finally not fucking this show up? I scarce believe it. I.. whew. I need a moment.

Re: Who Would You Consider The Main Villain Of The RRA Arc?

I see your point on how Tao Pai Pai isn't the main villain, and it was Commander Red. But Shonen main villains/antagonist aren't always going to be the leader of a group. Majin Buu and Babidi for example. Now that I've seen many peoples points, my vote now goes to Commander Red. Yeah, but the diffe...

Re: Name Pun Round-up

Yeah, that's why I prefer to go with Gurudo for that character because that's written more like his name is actually pronounced. But even if Simmons had opted to put an "o" at the end of his interpretation (Ghurdo), it probably would have looked a bit closer. But that's just my personal pr...

Re: Episode #0207 (31 January 2010)

Had I the chance to have been on that episode (if only!) I would have pointed out my theory that, in the early parts of the series (and for a little bit later on as well) he seemed like the equivalent of Fred from Scooby-Doo. When it was just him, Kuririn, and Goku, Yamucha was, in a way, the de fac...

Re: DBK English Trailer

Part of their changing the music in the first place is because they thought the score was outdated. A score from one year ago (that has some electric guitar in it) isn't outdated. Another part of it is due to Barry Watson, who isn't at FUNimation anymore. And part of it is because making their own ...

Re: Stupid things you've ignored.

The one thing I didn`t even notice at first and then decide to ignore, is Mr. Popo magic carpet. His magic carpet seems to be able to teleport. Then why didn`t he take Goku to fight the sayans? Kami and Piccolo died because of that delay. Oh, wow, I never thought about that before. That's pretty gl...

Hmm... I wonder if the series is going to end now. It is episode 50 and all. ^_~ Cool new title card, though. The one thing I've always thought Kai has been lazy about is using the same title cards for each arc... eh, same boring landscape shot. At least this one is rather interesting-looking. If al...

Well, I already posted what I thought of this in another thread, but I'll reiterate. I'd like them to update the animation, but I think it's woefully too early to replace the theme songs. If it really is industry standard over there now to replace the songs every 15 episodes or so, I can only conclu...
