Glad to see Dragonball back on Toonami, just like the good ol days.

Surprised they didn't have an english version of the theme song, like they did with Kai. The dork in me also wishes they'd go back to "Hercule." :)

Good thing the broadcast version of DBS would end up on the DVDs in months to come. Right now, I'm hearing Chris Rager's voice of Mr. Satan.

Toonami.com will apparently be streaming the episodes at some point after they air, but I don't know at what point.

They didn't have it up after the 8:00pm episode.
Maybe they're waiting for the 11:30pm version to finish airing to publish it though.

Now that I thought about it, its weird that funimation/toonami didn't use the already existing English version of chouzetsu dynamic.

Every single actor, both from the original cast and from the replacement cast, were on their A-game. I don't know how accurate the script was since I can't turn the subitltes on for the Japanese version, but I suspect it's probably in line with how FUNimation usually adapts Dragon Ball nowadays: very accurate, with only a few, inconsequential changes (most of which were done to fit the lip flaps anyway). I'm a little bummed about the songs not being dubbed, but everything else about the first episode made up for that and then some. I'm really psyched to hear more!
I feel that the script was mostly accurate but there was one major discrepancy I found between the subbed and the dubbed and unfortunately, it revolves around "Superman Goku".

In the original, when Goku talks about training for future threats, it's all centered around simply preparing for the future.

In the FUNi version, he mentions how he has to keep training to keep his loved ones safe.

In the grand scheme of things, it's pretty much inconsequential but I'd rather they never bothered having that line at all

This could very well be the version we hear on the home release.

Honestly really glad they didn't
I can never really stand songs dubbed into english by their native-speaking japanese singers
And I mean no offense to the singers by that, it just hits my ear wrong
I'd rather either get the song dubbed into english by someone who speaks it fluently or left in japanese

Goten sounds... off. I kinda don't like it. He sounds like he's yelling all the time.
