Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 11; Still Unreleased

It's worth noting that even today the English dubs of the Pokémon anime replace the music, simply because the Japanese studios charge a fortune for the music licensing. Apparently there was a brief time a few years ago when the original score was kept in the English versions of Pokémon because the p...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 11; Still Unreleased

Now I don't know why this has only occurred to me now considering I've known about this dub for 10 years but I just realised an Ocean dub means another english version of Dragon Soul! I'm not really a fan of Vic Mignogna's singing voice (I think he's fine.. just lacks a lot of power) and this thoug...

Re: whats the source of this dragon ball z version?

May be a transfer of some film masters, may be derived from AB Groupe's masters. Visually it bears a similarity to Funimation's masters (transferred from film in Dallas in the 90s).

Re: Source of Rumor that FUNi's Early Z Masters "Came From Mexico"

Now, about the thread, if I'm not mistaken, at the 3 Vegetas pannel, Chris Sabat mentioned that the first international voice of Vegeta he heard was Rene Garcia's voice, because they did not have access to the episodes in japanese, they used the spanish dub. Yes, Sabat and others of the in-house Fu...

Re: Do You Prefer Pre- "Battle of Gods" Z Movies in Full Screen or Widescreen

Fullscreen, easily. Bigger, more open shots, more of the beautiful artwork, etc.

There are a few minor glitches in Z movie 3, one or two in the 10th anniversary movie, and a single shot in Z movie 1 is framed a little oddly, but these are so infrequent it's no contest for me.

Re: Do you like Uub?

The kid who's in like two chapters of the manga? Not really much material to judge him on. In GT, he had a somewhat more substantial role, but primarily he was only briefly in the Baby arc, and then the tournament filler episode. So, still a little hard to judge. I guess every time he's shown up, he...

Re: DragonballZ Rewatch, Week 420 - Dragonball Evolution (April Fool)

What is "Dragon Ball Absalon"? Well, I don't have any strong feelings about it, if they want or not to make a sequel to Dragon Ball GT, I would be okay with whatever they decide. Though I'd very much prefer to adapt Dragon Ball Online instead. Absalon is a fan-animated series. It's... a l...

Re: Complete Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT now streaming on Crunchyroll

The very least they could've used the masters from the 30th anniversary blu-ray. I'd be happier with how it was on FuniNow; that does mean the English dub uses the shitty cropped version, but the Japanese version uses the Dragon Box masters. ... But they missed the point here, because the Japanese ...

Re: What would you do if you were sent back to 2002 with all DB heroes footage from today?

Bin it and go record the Westwood dubs of DB/Z/GT off TV in good quality. And while I'm at it, sit back, relax, and enjoy watching it all on TV as it aired. Alternatively, I go to Fox and show them how utterly dogshit DB Heroes is and say "Never, ever acquire the film rights to this franchise!&...

The original BOG movie would have been terrible or medicore. I'm glad that Toriyama came in and made the film better.

Also, it made Toriyama to help make the current DB era that we had today. Imo Modern Toriyama's uninspired, phoned-in ideas for Super do not redeem this film; in fact, I'd consider it the most offensive aspect of the film. Other than that, I honestly enjoyed watching this pretty-bad movie. I would ...

[*]Mai refers to Goku as Son Goku, beating Funimation to the punch on that by a good two years.

And to be clear, the leaked draft script is 100% real. You can find it yourself on Derek Padula's website.

I could be misremembering but I'm pretty sure the movie did reference chi. Something Funimation seemed physically incapable of doing, even in Dragon Ball Kai. Yes, they frequently talk about Ki, and even explain what it is. Funimation has never even mentioned it. Ocean got there first with the Blue...
