UGH, yes. I mean, I get it, Z is more popular (the DB to Toriyama's Dr. Slump), but come on, at LEAST include the whole story! It's sad because I feel like Z being popular over DB in the west due to how that went down has recursively reflected Toei's attitude in Japan, or at least reinforced it all the more (and this is more annoying than anime > manga). Sometimes it REALLY sucks being a fan of Kid Goku when mother-f***ing GT gets more attention!Robo4900 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 10:34 amYeah, this attitude being taken by Toei and Funi has always really annoyed me. Can they actually celebrate and recognise the whole original run, not just the middle 300 episodes?
Still, maybe once they've got the new Z remaster out, DB and GT will follow along. And hey, who knows, maybe Funi will even import their remasters this time around.

Which Z logo is worse? The 30th logo or the manga logo?

Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
It's a toss up between the two but I'd say the manga logo, i take one look at that and think "Really? They couldn't have used the Z from the show logo or something at least a little closer."
DB collection related goals as of now:
1.) Find decent priced copy of Dragon Box Z Vol. 4 (Done)
2.) Collect rest of manga
3.) Get rest of Daizenshuu (2-7)

Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
Well I mean I bet they weren't allowed to use the Funi or Toei logos for the show and had to make their own. But like... wow, what a clash of styles. Who knew that ViZ would predict Beerus' Egyptian design origins with their design for the Z, right??SuperSaiyaManZ94 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 10:07 am It's a toss up between the two but I'd say the manga logo, i take one look at that and think "Really?

I wouldn't be surprised if it were some kind of legal thing related to the companies, but yeah i'd have liked it if it wasn't such a thin font and something a little closer to the show's version.KBABZ wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 10:09 amWell I mean I bet they weren't allowed to use the Funi or Toei logos for the show and had to make their own.

Even if we ignore the Harmony Gold dub, the other Ocean dub premiered in September 1995. Which is only 24 years ago.2019 marks the 25th anniversary of “Dragon Ball’s” introduction to U.S.

Yep. And if we're paying attention to Harmony Gold, then it was the full 30, so this baffled me a bit too.SqueakyBoots wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 1:20 pmEven if we ignore the Harmony Gold dub, the other Ocean dub premiered in September 1995.

My guess is they were thinking of the original DB pilot dub, which may have been shown to test audiences as early as late '94.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.
Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
I think the 30th logo could've been better. It''s not bad but not the best either. I've never had a problem with the manga's so i think it's Ok.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
I think the 30th anniversary logo looks far worse...
Their dub of the first DB movie probably aired in 1994. The credits say “copyright 1994”. Either the one with the Harmony Gold names or just the version on the KidMark/TriMark VHS tapes and DVDs, but without the episodes clips thrown in. Or both?SqueakyBoots wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 1:20 pmEven if we ignore the Harmony Gold dub, the other Ocean dub premiered in September 1995.

Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
It's worth noting that in the version we all know, the parts specifically recorded for the movie used Maggie Blue O'Hara as Bulma, while the clip from the show is exactly what was used in the show, with Lalainia Linbjerg as Bulma. So, I'd guess either the test dub happened, then the series happened, then they put the movie together, but Lindbjerg wasn't available, so they used O'Hara, then put Lindbjerg's clip in, or both the test dub and the movie were done with O'Hara, then they recast for the series, then when it eventually came time to air/use the movie, they decided to make it a bit longer by putting a bit of the series dub they'd just done into it.linkdude20002001 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 2:42 pm I think the 30th anniversary logo looks far worse...

Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
I'd assume the last one.
Movie 1, then Movie 1 again (without Harmony Gold names), then the 13 episodes, and then on to DBZ.
That seems like the most likely. But in any case, 1994 is when Funimation brot Dragon Ball to the United States (and Canada? I don't think so, but I could be wrong.).

Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
The 1995 dub did indeed make it to Canada back in the day. Though oddly enough, it's not on the CRTC database; to me, points further to the production deals behind the BLT dub being a mess.linkdude20002001 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 5:39 am I'd assume the last one.

Thought I'd bump this thread up. I got an email from Amazon saying that the release date for "Dragon Ball: A Visual History" has changed to a October 30th - November 4th bracket.

Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure kicks off north american tour with premiere performance in Chicago!
An Overlook Events Original Production
Presented by AWR Music Production
Tickets for the premiere performance of “Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure” will go on sale at 10am CST on November 15, 2019 at https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/04005761CBF35313
As part of the year-long 30th anniversary celebration of “Dragon Ball Z,” Toei Animation Inc. and Sony Pictures Television’s Funimation announced today that the “Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure,” a one-of-a-kind concert experience, is coming to North America. Produced by Overlook Events and presented by AWR Music Productions, the “Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure” combines scenes and sounds of Dragon Ball together with live vocals, a 60-piece orchestra and the music of legendary Japanese composer Shunsuke Kikuchi to create an immersive multimedia event for fans. The North American tour of the “Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure” kicks-off on Friday, March 27, 2020 with its premiere performance in Chicago, IL at the Rosemont Theatre featuring the World Festival Symphony Orchestra conducted by Eric Roth. Additional dates and locations to be announced.
Based on its Narrative Symphonic Experience concept, Overlook Events mixes a symphony orchestra with rock instruments, live vocals, sound effects and light synchronized to a compilation of Dragon Ball video excerpts projected on giant screens, following a strict narrative – to create the “Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure.” The result is a concert experience that achieves a musical and technical mastery still very rare in an industry dominated by cinema-concerts.
Overlook describes their creative process: “As great enthusiasts of Akira Toriyama's saga, we spent long months carefully selecting and analyzing each scene to draw out the essence of the Dragon Ball story. While reconstructing each arc, each scene was thoughtfully set to new orchestrations of the classic music, to align with our Narrative Symphonic Experience concept. Nothing was left to chance. Now, we invite you to enjoy every minute of this concert experience, from the opening trumpet notes heralding the first transformation of Son Goku, ready to unleash his uncontrollable fury against the mighty Frieza.

Why would you think that?
Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
The only reason I could possibly think of in the moment would be Faulconer fanboys raiding the concert just to boo and hate on the fabulous music by Kikuchi.
Also, on a side note, I would love to see the reaction of a Faulconer fanboy not knowing it’s Kikuchi, and reacting to what’s being played, it would be priceless!

Re: Toei Animation celebrates 30 years of DragonBall Z with new licensing deals, products and events!
I don’t think “Faulconer fanboys” are really a thing outside of the Internet. I mean, even though most American fans are dub fans, the percentage of them that even know the name “Bruce Faulconer” is an extremely small niche. No one is gonna go to a DBZ concert and boo it, especially for a reason like that. The only way I can see people showing up en masse to boo something like this is if they make some kind of overt political statement that garners media attention and triggers snowflakes or conservaturds. I don’t see that happening with DBZ.
