Re: Please, tell me I'm wrong about Sumitomo...

Isn't Japan known for plagiarism?

I'm not defending Yamamoto, but you'd be surprised how many other composers and arrangers in Japan have ripped off others.

The music from Sonic the Hedgehog has got to be the most blatantly obvious.

Dende as the God of Earth

Did Toriyama ever state whether or not he got the idea of Dende being the Guardian of the Earth in the Manga by watching Clash!! 10 Billion Powerful Warriors (a.k.a. The Return of Cooler)?

Re: The German DBZ Kai dub trailer is here...

Goku is voiced by Amadeus Strobl, who voiced Kid Goku in GT back in 2006. Obviously he's an adult now and his voice's soft tone and delivery remind me of Frank Schaff's who voiced adult Goku in the final arc of Dragon Ball, which is okay I guess. Piccolo and Vegeta, on the other hand, sound so simi...

Re: Your Personal Perfect Dragon Ball Release

Let's imagine Yamamoto gets permission from all the artists' music pieces he sampled for his Kai OST. Using this... A blu-ray release of DBKai episodes 1-99 with the original Yamamoto OST (including the last few we never heard.) Japanese/English voice tracks and subtitles. Doesn't need to include a...

Re: Your Personal Perfect Dragon Ball Release

YES! Glad someone else pointed out the sync issues.

By far the most annoying example of this was in episodes 55 and 56 of Dragon Ball. I had to lower the audio delay in VLC to -450 just to get it right.

Re: Your Personal Perfect Dragon Ball Release

Blu-Ray Dragon Boxes with the recovered original Japanese broadcast audio, color corrections, and NEPs BEFORE the end credits, instead of after. Sets should be split by Arcs, and not by "Seasons" (001-013, 014-028, 029-078, 079-083, 084-101, 102-126, 127-132, 133-148, 149-153, 001-035, 036...

That was stupid of FUNimaton/Ocean to trim Roshi's line "A child like you could have died".

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Arrival "Action Version" VHS

Which version of this VHS tape came first?

And was it the only one with the ocean dub in clamshell?

Re: What are some of the old voices that you miss?

Another one I miss:

Dale Kelly as the original FUNi Narrator and the original FUNi Captain Ginyu. You could tell he had a lot of fun with both roles, and his Monster Truck voice. Oh yeah, I almost forgot:

Re: General Yamamoto Rip off thread

It's all sad, really, either way you look at it. Like I said in this page, it was Kenji Yamamoto who arranged the original version of CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA , my favorite song in all of Dragon Ball . I do not think the song would have been as awesome, if someone else working on the music in the series ...

Re: Dragon Ball Opening animation 2 & ending animation 1, 3

The Harmony Gold opening uses a good chunck of the second opening? Is it a shorter opening, like many localisations of Dragon Ball had back in the day? I'm pretty sure the French and German versions of Dragon Ball also had shorter openings when they originally aired, but I don't know whether they u...

Re: Dragon Ball Opening animation 2 & ending animation 1, 3

A good chunk of the clean 2nd opening can be seen in the two Dragon Ball PSAs, and in the Harmony Gold dub opening of the combined DB Movies 1 & 3.

Re: The Harmony Gold Dub & Broadcast Audio Discussion Thread

Yes. I got a kick out of hearing The Dragon Ball Legend instrumental. Someone claimed it was exclusive to the Spanish dub of the Harmony Gold version. Turns out it was not.

Only one problem: Where is Part 1?
