Re: The Broli movie will use dub names in its subtitles, at Toei's request. Could this become the new "standard"?

I can understand why Toei did this as they only have to approve one set of names in the scripts for English territories, but it's still really dumb. The subtitle translation is its own thing and having dub names pop up when the Japanese name gets heard on the audio is going to become distracting. Facepalm. I'd prefer if they just left it alone.

Apparently the Manga UK release won't have green tint. Maybe I should buy a region free (or at least A and B) Blu-ray player and import their releases from now on, or just pirate the damn movie if they're going to keep screwing it up. Supporting the official release is becoming more and more difficult when they're going to keep fucking it up here in the U.S.

I just wonder if the MangaUK release will be without the subtitles issue too.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

The Amazon version before being removed used "Frieza" but let's hope for the best.

No green tint and correct subs would make it a definite purchase for me. Can't say I care about the Steelbook so I'd just buy the standard Blu-ray which comes with a slipcover, I assume.

Bad news. The Manga UK Version also uses Dub Names in the Subtitles.

Yeah, it's unfortunate. I'm not sure who I like less anymore. FUNimation or Toei.

This is pure nostalgia wanking aimed at some of the Western audience who are still entrenched in the appeal of the spiced up dialogue and unnecessary name changes at the cost of better translation and a more accurate script.

Fuck this backwards nonsense.

I went to Amazon UK and successfully placed an order for the steelbook, even though it's Region B. I'll figure it out, I'll get a different Blu-ray player that's region free, I don't know. All I know is that I've tolerated a lot, but I don't want a fucking green movie for no reason. Fuck that.

I don't know what I'm going to do yet with my FUNi copy, but it looks like ordering the Manga UK version off Amazon UK was the right call. I didn't even know I was able to do that here in the U.S.

Well, that's some good news I suppose. I'm still just more concerned about the future of Dragon Ball home media than I am this one movie though.

If this is going to be the new standard here, I'll be more than happy to continue importing from the UK now that I know I can do it. I'll finish out my FUNi releases of Super because those so far are good (just don't fuck with them), and I'll figure it out from there I guess.

True, but if my choice is dub name subs or dub name subs with extra green, I'll take the dub name subs. Can't win them all.

Well, I mean, we CAN win them all, haha. We've been doing it since Dragon Ball Super Part 1 on Blu-ray. Now Toei decided that it's time for us to guaranteed lose at least one thing, I guess.

The real confusing part is who are they doing this for? What demographic are they trying to please? As far as I know, there is no “I’m a primary fan of the Japanese version, but I wish they used the English dub names in the subs” demographic. 99% of actual dub fans will not watch it subbed, or if they do, won’t give a shit about the name differences. They’re pleasing absolutely nobody and just making a group of fans feel like they don’t matter.

I'm equally perplexed. But if there's one thing all parties involved have proven it's that they don't care what their fans think. If they did the names never would have been changed in the first place. Between this and the recent insistence of locking subs on blu-rays it's no wonder sales are down and people are resorting to piracy again.

As much as I'm not defending this and absolutely hate this decision...you'd be surprised. I personally know several people who, after 131 episodes of Super in Japanese, have grown to prefer the Japanese cast, but still dislike "Kuririn", "Kamesenin", "Freeza", etc.

It flows precisely and fluidly from where things left off in the aftermath of the 23rd Budokai and mostly hits the ground running from there without really stopping to look back. You're plopping someone into the middle of a book starting at chapter 195 out of 519 for absolutely no good goddamn reason, with very minimal opportunity to look back at much needed context and character/story growth.
