Not a bad name for the inhouse dub :lol:

Obviously it was a typo :wink:
One of the most fitting names for the dub ever, along with "The Chris Sabat Show".

All this Sabat bullying takes me back to the forums and IRC rooms of '99. :) Was only about 8 years old at the time and didn't know who or what a "Sabat" was, only that a large collection of people decades older than myself were getting quite pissed off at a children's cartoon. Twas my first experience with anime fans on the internet, and I guess it struck some kind of chord with me as it set me down on my path of trying to find bootleg VHS copies of this mythical Japanese version everyone was going on about. Good times. :)

Getting serious for a moment, Chris Sabat is one of the most awesome people in anime. The picture I did above was all in good fun. :)

Don't worry, wasn't trying to imply you were being malicious. I think Chris is awesome too. :)

Same here, have nothing but respect for Sabat. Hell, without him casting Copy Vegeta we wouldn't have heard Drummond in any new Dragon Ball content since the Westwood dub. He's one of us and wants whats best for this franchise.

Eh dubs lots of characters well and doesn't afraid of anything.

I checked James Beach's filmography at BTVA and the guy seems to only voice blue haired or skinned guys. I remember the only blue characters in Kai are Burter and the Cell Jrs. (unless I'm forgetting someone :think: )

His character is definitely on Namek and only for a few episodes but that is all I know.

Isn't anyone gonna talk about the possible release date of the channel as posted by C. Smith? :shock:

You mean the fact that if it isn't released for New Year's Eve, it will be released on next year's April Fools?

I actually didn't think of that :shock:

I'm calling bullshit if we see Wow's debut schedule that day, Kai is MIA and we hear word its actually been scrapped.

If they do launch that day they could have a field day marketing Ocean Kai as though it were a big prank! :lol:

If Ocean Kai isn't out by 2020 then I'm giving up completely on it. I probably should've ages ago but it's something I really wanna watch so much.

Come on, Canada. :(

BTVA isn't exhaustive and James Beach is a pseudonym. He's played more than just blue people. :lol:

So, in other words... Just because we can't be sure who the guy is voicing, we shouldn't be... Blue? Image

I don’t think you should read that much into it. Remember, April Fools outside of its cultural precence isn’t considered that special of a day, so it releasing on that day wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. Hell, Ocean Kai was approved by the CRTC to be Canadian Content on April 1st, 2014, along with a bunch of other Canadian programming.
