Dragon Ball in Finnish!!

[Lozjudai]

So I decided to create and topic about the brief history of Dragon Ball in my humble home country Finland! I'm going talking about the small (and stupid) controversy about the release of it and how it almost did not make it here. Also I'm going to talk about the impact of it making Manga/Anime mainstream here. So in couple of days I will update this thread about those things. Also I'm going to update everytime something DB related is coming to Finland

Sounds interesting. Go for it!

[UltimateHammerBro]

I support this! It is always interesting to hear about DB around the world!

Is there a Finnish dub of DragonBall/Z/GT?

Nope there isn't. The only anime related that we got was Funimation dub of DBZ on saturday mornings for a while. Oh also couple of movies on dvd but instead of Funimation dub it used the "big green dub" or the original japanese one.

That cover looks like the Norwegian cover. From which version did it get translated? The Norwegian version was something like this: japanese -> german, german -> danish ->, danish -> swedish, swedish -> norwegian.

This is just lame. I know that dubbing in Finland is used very rarely, but if the anime isn't going to be dubbed, isn't it better to air the Japanese version than the English dub (I assume it was subbed BTW)?

It was subbed and thank god it wasn't dubbed (dubbing here sucks ass) but for some odd reason in the final DBZ episode they used the German dub I always thought that the reason why they used the Funi dub was because… Actually I have no idea at all. Why didn't they use it?!

I always assumed that they translated it from Japanese? But I guess it makes sense to translate it from an "easier" language like German for example. Does anyone know when was DB manga released officially in Germany? It would be nice to know which version was published first.

All the Scandinavian translations of the manga were based on the German translation, which itself I believe was based on the at-the-time-current French translation with some heavy crosschecking with the Japanese version to improve accuracy.

They're quite accurate to the Japanese text (some odd mistranslations here and there), way moreso than the English Viz translation, so unless the Finnish translation was drunk or something, your Finnish editions should be perfectly fine.

There was also no dub for the Dutch version instead they used the "Ocean Dub" with subs.

I don't know about Vegeta sometimes, guys. This video's hilarious.

No, the german version was translated from Japanese. And you can't be meaning the Norwegian version is close to the Japanese version, can you? I've compared the french newest version to the norwegian version and there's ton of differences.

I've compared it to the Japanese one, so those differences are presumably errors in the French translation.

I told you, they're not based on the french version but on the German that's translated from Japanese...

That may be. I'm not particularly familiar with the French OR the German version, I just know the Scandinavian releases were a) translated from German and b) are very accurate to the original Japanese.

I wonder if this is a fandub?

It probably is, Finland never dubbed the Dragonball series.

We only had few tv channels playing it from time to time.

Also just thinking about dubbing the dragonball to finnish.. it seems so ridiculous haha >_<

Yes, including the "Norwegian" version...

Why do you think so? I think it'd been exiting.
