"Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

It seems that FUNi is teasing something regarding Super: https://twitter.com/FUNimation/status/9 ... 66880?s=17

Forneverworld has said that he is aware of what it is so it looks like we'll soon find out what he was talking about months ago regarding news of the Super dub

Meh, it's just a silhouette of Hit. I'd wait for something more substantial, like KH3's actual release date announcement substantial.

...are they making a universal survival tournament game?

I was delusional a short while back in thinking it was going to get Simuldubbed Toei are dinosaurs, so no chance of that.
I wonder if it is episodes going on Funinow ahead of Toonami?. I'm kind of expecting it to be underwhelming, but hoping I'm wrong.

I don't see Funimation streaming new dub episodes of Super before Toonami airs them. I can see Super being on Toonami for a long time since Jason DeMacro has said that they plan on having Toonami keep on going until 2021 and possibly beyond.

Nothing would make me happier than having a bunch of episodes dropped as soon as possible. I want to watch the Zamasu arc dubbed damnit

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but please tell me this isn't what they've been hyping up.

Can't believe I haven't asked this here yet, but anyone else convinced that Matthew Mercer would make a good English Zamasu if they put him in that role?

Yep, but I would like someone else to play the part.

Dragon Ball Super will air in Africa! That means they could overtake Adult Swim in Airing the show if they air in on a Weeday Strip! Awesome.

Roshi and Tien AMA is probably the least hype thing in the universe. I doubt it's going in that direction.

I still think Chris Sabat is the perfect choice for Toppo. He has yet to voice any new original characters in Super yet.

I think he'd be good, but at the same time it would probably wind up sounding too close to his Vegeta and Piccolo (which are already too close, seriously I feel like I can see Chris Sabat talking to himself every time the two of them interact).

I think Jamieson Price would be THE PERFECT choice for Toppo.

Sabat's All Might's voice would work very well with Toppo.

I doubt we need another Piccolo/Zoro in Super. I feel like a diversity in voices is necessary.

Bang Zoom or FUNi?

I think Roshi appears in 2 episodes of the Future Trunks Arc at most - to teach Goku the mafuba.
Tien doesn't appear at all, those two are only relevant in the current Universe Survival Arc (post Frieza).
All the questions will likley be from a production perspective, particularly as John Burgmeier is head writer.

Bang Zoom! I believe. Especially as it's a Turner operated channel, it wouldn't cost them a penny to air it.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to James Marsters' take on Zamasu, especially since he'll have a more nuanced & better take, thanks to the better direction & the actual animation to work off of that nobody had during the recording of Xenoverse 2. I just wanted Mercer in the role first, but I think Marsters can be good too, especially since there's more meat to the character than his version of Piccolo from Evolution.

I heard it was the Funimation dub...weird. Oh Well.

[DBZ_Lee]

The dub is going on Funimation Now, but only the first 39. Then in batches of 13, so the next 13 will be added 2 days after episode 52 airs on Toonami.

Exactly like what they do for One Piece, to be fair, they should have done this from the start really.
Very underwhelming announcement, and disappointing.

[Theophrastus]

That tweet has apparently been deleted. Here's what I assume is the new one:

I'm guessing there was some miscommunication (or just a typo), because the batches of 13 episodes are supposed to be uploaded to FunimationNow two weeks after the last episode of the batch airs on Toonami, rather than two days.

Fair enough. Thanks for the info

Pretty much what everyone expected, just not in the exact way, right? I mean, this is akin to Netflix's streaming deal they made with Warner Bros for their CW DC shows for those shows' seasons to get on their service, what, 2 weeks after their final episodes air on TV. After 13 episodes air on TV, they're gonna put them on the service. It's better than nothing, but it IS kinda underwhelming.
