We've got Greg Dulcie as Sidra, Derick Snow as Ro, Jeff Plunk as Basil, Chris Guerrero as Lavender and Marcus Stimac as Bergamo. Looks like the goal is to have Universe team cards showing the cast for all the teams, including the gods.
My question is - are they gonna go with Top (like they did with Hit) or Toppo? Personally I'd like them to not change the character's name as they've already done so with Hit and besides Toppo sounds better, no?

Hitto is just the japanese pronunciation of Hit while Toppo is the actual name of the character so changing it to Top would make no sense.
I'm just a DB fan that's in the grey area that exists between an Hardcore Fanboy and a Casual

Not quite. Toppo's name is a rearrangement of the word 'pot', which is 'potto' in Japanese syllabary. The extra O at the end, just like Hitto vs Hit, is entirely a consequence of the Japanese language, and therefore shouldn't be retained in English. These are English words, after all.
Honestly, it should have never been 'Toppo' in the first place, and I will eat my shoes if they don't go with Top considering how well they've treated names so far. I guess we'll see! Which episode do we first hear his name in anyway?
EDIT: Well, apparently I misunderstood that. Oops.

During episode 79 when Buu deflects Basil's ki enhanced kick attack and throws it at the Universe 11 hover seat. Khai asked Toppo to deal with it.
I think the real question should be, how will they pronounce his name? Will they pronounce it the way we usually pronounce the word Top with an "oh" sound added to the end, or will they pronounce it "Toh-po" with the long "o" sound?
The epic tale of how Sean Schemmel blocked me on Twitter:
I tagged him in a thread explaining how his performance wasn't rerecorded when FUNi were redoing parts of the early Z dub for the Orange Bricks.
He thought I was misrepresenting his work by saying he wasn't in something he was in.
I explained how that wasn't the situation & did a bit of a sarcastic kinda thing involving the rerecordings FUNi did for the Z dub to show how stupid that was.
He said they didn't record him & not use his recordings.
Blocked & he deleted his response tweets to me.
???
Profit...?
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

They give me a latin vibe (especially Kale for her color skin), so it could suit well like Android #16 had an australian accent in the dub.
Uhhhhh. What? As an Australian, 16's dub voice doesn't have any of the accents we have here.

Are you talking the Ocean cast, or FUNi's cast? Because the FUNi dubs don't give 16 an accent at all. He talks very stiffly like a robot, which he is, & they used to add a metallic sound effect, which TFS kept in their version of the series.
