It's more likely they chose Jackson for Oolong for the Z dub and then just didn't change to someone else by the time they did the DB dub because they were stupid. Nobody "chose" that, it was probably an oversight.

It's not stupid. It's a pig. And even though his original JPN voice was high pitched, it was the same voice throughout every series.Shaddy wrote:It's more likely they chose Jackson for Oolong for the Z dub and then just didn't change to someone else by the time they did the DB dub because they were stupid.

The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
I mostly just said that because Old Funimation was kinda stupid in general.
Either way, plenty of JP characters had the same voices between ages and got replaced anyway. And regardless I'd much rather believe that it was an oversight to do Funi being stupid than the alternative, which was them actively attempting to age a character and turn him into a pedophile.

It was more than just Brad Jackson voicing him with the exact same voice the dub removed all reference to him being a kid that was in the Japanese version.
I know it can be dismissed as “he’s a pig not a human” but anthromorphic animals seem to have a more similar aging process as humans in Dragon Ball world

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
It's not like Oolong would be the only pedophile in the series. Master Roshi? Asked to see teen Bulma's panties. General Blue? Had an obvious crush on Obotchaman, a robot shaped like a young boy. The dub actually censored this, though, having General Blue believe that Obotchaman was his "long lost brother." It was pretty obvious that wasn't the original dialogue, though.Shaddy wrote:I mostly just said that because Old Funimation was kinda stupid in general.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
We don't really need more of them. That said, General Blue is a good example of the complete opposite mindset. Even if you assert that they turned Oolong into a pedophile, all I'm saying is that that was just poor planning and ignorance on their part (since it's not like they stated him to be older, or like characters voices necessarily match their ages in this series anyway). It was just one bad decision in the sea of bad decisions that was early Dragon Ball localisation.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
I'm going to have to be cautious when I'm on YT now, it seems like the whole movie is on there. Luckily the only thing I saw was and I averted my eyes from the rest and removed them from my recommendations.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
So I’m watching Funi’s Dragon Ball dub and Funi really got out of hand with giving characters accents
General White- Russian accent
Murasaki - Japanese accent
Dr. Frappe- I dont know uhh German?
Police Officer that helps Goku find Bulma- Canadian
One of the RRA soldiers that tried to have fun with Bulma- Australian
Commander Red- Irish?
General White- Russian accent
Murasaki - Japanese accent
Dr. Frappe- I dont know uhh German?
Police Officer that helps Goku find Bulma- Canadian

Commander Red- Irish?
Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Red's accent is like the least consistent thing sometimes, I'm not even sure.
Don't forget Nam's hilariously awful one.

Oh a lot of the accents they do like Nam’s or the village in the Boss Rabbit episode border on racist

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Logged in this afternoon to my American Xbox LIVE account which I had DBZ 001-039 purchased (during a free for a limited offer) and then I notice only the first 12 are available while the rest I'd have to buy if I want. If that's not bad enough, the HD quality (Level) was replaced with the shitty Season Blu-ray sets.
To be honest, I just wanted to download the video Xbox files of that though it's DRM'd and don't know if anyone ever managed to find a way to extract the videos from it. Think I downloaded it to another 360 HDD, anyway.
God dammit, Microsoft and FUNimation!

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
They were equally offensive (if you actually got offended) to everyone. FUNimation still does those annoying accents but meh, no big deal to me.MasenkoHA wrote:So I’m watching Funi’s Dragon Ball dub and Funi really got out of hand with giving characters accents

There's no such thing as "equally offensive".JohnnyCashKami wrote:They were equally offensive (if you actually got offended) to everyone. FUNimation still does those annoying accents but meh, no big deal to me.
Also, a person doesn't have to be offended to find something offensive.
Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
I don't really think having an accent is offensive at all.JohnnyCashKami wrote:They were equally offensive (if you actually got offended) to everyone.

Besides it's the FUNI dub, I doubt Russian, German and Japanese people would watch it.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
So I noticed in dub episode 65 of Dragon Ball they actually kept the insert song, I could have sworn they removed it in the dub.
Granted, you can barely hear it since the narrator is blaring over it

Looks like the leaked synopsis I found is proving relatively true. I won't say no more than that.
