You and Steve discussed it at length on episode #0052 of the podcast, you know. (Great episode.)VegettoEX wrote:I was still somewhat of a punk kid myself at the time, so my memory of the petition isn't all that great. Daimao might be able to shed a little light on it.
I figured as much, but I wasn't sure how much detail we went into. OK, then! Everyone go back and listen to that thing, too!Chibi Mystic Gohan wrote:You and Steve discussed it at length on episode #0052 of the podcast, you know. (Great episode.)
And I almost pointed it out to her again this time, too! I'm glad I'm not the only one enthralled by the fact that the story has the exact same delivery each time.Chibi Mystic Gohan wrote:Haha, Meri's told that whole "GOKU HAS A SON?!" story three times now on the podcast, with that same delivery. In fact, you pointed that out to her the second time she did it, Mike. Poor woman's going senile!
Yeah, I'll be fair: It was the right decision to sit on it. I don't think any of us expected that the show would be ongoing almost six years later, so it helps that those early episodes made a real can-do effort to be informative and personal rather than hang your hat on tired fandom cliches. Now (years later) you're in a position to exploit those in your own unique way that makes those topics less predictable and dull, because there's a conscious, developing body of work that has helped you to establish a style and presence that enables you and the crew to put that ol' DaizEX spin on 'em. Suddenly beat-a-dead-horse topics are made somewhat fresh, because it's coming from Opinions Made Fun and a source that matters.VegettoEX wrote:Interesting how my viewpoint about doing this for a topic hadn't really changed at all over the last 5-6 years. I think it helped saving it for as long as we did, actually. Like I said during the show, I ended up having a ton of fun jotting everything down and bringing it all back to high school and early college years for myself. It was certainly weird times, but let enough years fly by and suddenly it's still weird, but with a little rose-tinting going on to paint it in a better light.
A topic like this gives older fans a connection with the show and each other. What? The folks at DaizEX are gonna dish about fansubs? They've been around as long as I have! I have feelings and/or care about this old-timey subject! Can't wait to listen while playing CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA on my wind-up phonograph.VegettoEX wrote:Anyway, I didn't mean to semi-apologize for even doing this as a topic so many times (or at least it kinda felt that way). I thought it was fun, it sounds like people actually learned something from it, and as I anticipated, all the old folks seemed to have a good time just listening to things they know about
Ehh, I could do more. Then again, it's not like I do nothing. I still have those Q&A transcripts there, fella. Don't know if you still want 'em, but they friggin exist. ;pVegettoEX wrote:In conclusion, props to my man Lemmy for being one of the biggest and longest-running supporters of the podcast.
I think so. Unfortunately, the fansub of movies 11 & 12 that I mentioned during the show were "borrowed" during college (along with my PS1 copy of Street Fighter Alpha 3) and was never seen again.Herms wrote:Speaking of fansub dialogue, the idea that Janenba was originally a mob kingpin or something comes from inaccurate fansubs, right? That might be something to toss into the fansub dialogue page.
Rats, that sucks. I know Buu's Fury uses the "mob kingpin" backstory, and the game later lifts the "I am the instrument of your destruction" fansub line, so I'm thinking they probably got that backstory from fansubs too.VegettoEX wrote:I think so.

Just downloaded every Podcast Episode from iTunes. 
Sounds a lot like what a certain member here did to other members when they sent their rare Dragon Ball dubs/VHS recordings to him and he didn't hold his end of the bargain. Damn shame what some people on the internet do. Anyways, I never watched VHS fan subs but I did watch some fan subs of Kai (I have since stopped doing that and support the releases.) I was surprised some of them used dub names and such. But, the quality of some I saw were really good. Some, not so much.NeverRamza wrote:Anime Crisis, mentioned above, was involved in a pretty big fiasco that almost no one remembers. They were theoretically an anime club, based somewhere in or near Las Vegas. A few of the movies found their way to the internet but that's about it. A very long time ago, possibly around 1996 or so, back before DBZ started airing on US television and no significant portions of the series were subtitled in their entirety (save NGN, no one knew about Pearl at this time), the group put up a webpage stating that they had subtitled something like episodes 105 through 199 (or so). In order to obtain these tapes, you had to put in a preorder for the entire thing because they refused to do sell individual tapes and they were only going to do it in one go. I believe the preorder about was something wild around $200 or so. Well, tons of people from all sides of the internet ordered this set and Anime Crisis never sent out a thing, making out with thousands of ripped off dollars. People were pissed off about this for years.
I had a similar situation to that, except it was my dad who told me. Apparently he saw some Boo arc episodes on the International Channel raw while he was on a business trip in LA.Sun-Wukong wrote: Also, my brother telling me about Majin Buu before the Cell Games had even started in America.
Yep. If I didn't make it clear enough in the show (and I guess not, since we jumped around a bit), my first fansubs were indeed Goku's SSJ transformation, which I got in late 1997 after seasons 1 and 2 began their eternal repeats, and before the show's move to Cartoon Network. That episode would not come out from FUNimation until 1999 when "Season 3" began airing on Toonami and also via the edited/uncut dub-only official VHS release.nathantheguitarist wrote:Something I'd like clarification on: Was the Freeza saga tape with Goku's Super Saiyan transformation out before those episodes aired first on Cartoon Network?
