"Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

[OmegaRockman]

Um... They have a partially dubbed version of the Dr. Slump opening in a promo video for tonight's episode. I'm almost certain they'll have a full version in the episode.

Edit: I'm sure it's pretty clear to those familiar with her singing voice, but it's sung by Brina Palencia, the voice of Arale in the dub.

Oh wow, the said Dr Mashirito said that he escaped from "Home of Infinite Losers"

SENBEI NORIMAKI THE SCENCE GUY

That surprised me too. It seemed out of place, but at the same Funi knew this entire episode is a gag so 'why not'.

Although, it's hilarious how casually Goku says 'oh, damn'.

Love how they gave Arale the privilege of saying it's been 30 years since they last met each other.

[Gyt Kaliba]

So do we have any idea who voiced Senbei and Dr. Mashrihito in the episode? I'm really curious to hear how FUNi handled those two.

And it works in and out of universe.

Goddamn I love you Funimation.

Senbei is now voiced by R Bruce Elliot which does not surprise me since he took over for Brice Armstrong as Ginyu too. Dr. Mashirito is voiced by Barry Yandell.

They probably could’ve also gone with Doc Morgan. Does that guy do any voices other than the narrator?

Just saw some clips earlier after I asked, and I THOUGHT it sounded like those two. I'm not entirely sure if Elliot would be my pick for Senbei in a potential (but sadly never going to happen) actual series dub, but he worked pretty well in this episode, so maybe he'd do pretty good actually. Yandell sounded pretty great for Mashirito from what I remember of him though, so that's an A+ for me. And Brina was, as I expected, PERFECT for Arale, just as I'd imagined she would be based on her turn with the character in Tenkaichi 3. I love that they even kept her little vocal quirks in this episode too.

Man, now I just want to read/watch some Slump.

They probably could’ve also gone with Doc Morgan. Does that guy do any voices other than the narrator?

As far as I'm aware, he hasn't so much as done even a background role in Dragon Ball, much less anything else for FUNi. I believe he's a radio guy who they picked up specifically for the narrator last I remember reading, so he may not really even be auditioning for other things.

CALLED IT. I KNEW R. BRUCE ELLIOT WOULD VOICE SENBEI.
...since Armstrong is now retired.
I could even tell from watching him speak, he sounds great!

Here is Episode 70's preview.

That episode was like I'm watching anime on speed

[G1Ravage]

Being a gag episode, it seems they chose (or were forced by Toei) to keep certain Dr. Slump terminology and character mannerisms, that I don't believe they bothered to keep in past crossovers. The dubbed opening theme was a nice touch, also!

I was hoping they'd throw in something like this when Goku and Arale recognize each other, but alas, they did not:

Goku: "Aah! You're Arale from Penguin Village!"

Arale: "You're Son Goku!"

Goku: "Whaa? How do you know my family name is Son?? I've never told anyone, ever!"

I mean, they threw in a random HFIL reference. They clearly know their audience....

[wjbraden]

Interestingly, the rerun of episode 1 tonight on adult swim aired with the English covers of chozetsu dynamic and hello hello hello unlike its first broadcast. Wonder if they'll be airing some of the revised dialogue that showed up on the DVDs?

Yeah, since it's now airing on Adult Swim, they can not only have free rein when it comes to mild swearing, but actually lampshade the atrocious euphemisms they were forced to use back when dubbing Z.

Have we ever found out who this artist is? All of their covers have really good character art.

Brian Drummond cast as Copy Vegeta, a reference to HFIL... what's next? the Next Dimension?
