I was surprised that I could. I cannot watch anything on 4kids website, yet we get their channel, but we don't get nicktoons (at least I don't and nobody I know does), but I could watch anything, especially with adblock working wonders too.Well, actually, now that I'm thinking about it...people outside the US, were you able to watch episodes of FUNimation-dubbed "Dragon Ball Z Kai" on Nicktoons.com?
There was a time when I could on the Toonzai website but that is long gone by now.Well, actually, now that I'm thinking about it...people outside the US, were you able to watch episodes of FUNimation-dubbed "Dragon Ball Z Kai" on Nicktoons.com?

What?? The E in the FUNimation pronunciations is the same as the E in the Japanese pronunciation, it's just that FUNi's actors probably slur the EH sound to an IH sound (like in the word "pit").Taku128 wrote:(Are they pronouncing the e in Namek like Japanese too? Because that's going to sound awkward as hell.)
To be precise, when you pronounce e in Japanese, your mouth is horizontally a little narrower.linkdude20002001 wrote:What??

Thank you for posting this! Hearing him pronounce it like that actually sounds pretty good and gives it a twist compared to the other english dubs. Tomorrow can't come fast enough!SSJ4 Furanki wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5SG5Spo4OY
It's a con with Scott McNeil and Sean Schemmel, they talk about Kai for a bit, around 6:00, Scott confirmed the Nah-mek pronunciation.

That leads me to another question that I've had for a while now...what is the correct pronunciation of "Namek"? I thought "Nahmek," as the Japanese pronounced it, was just "Namek" as pronounced with a Japanese accent.SSJ4 Furanki wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5SG5Spo4OY

Nah-mek is correct, if I remember correctly Namek was based on a Japanese term for slugs or snails, if I remember correctly (feel free to correct me if that isn't the case). It's no different than Saiyan being based on Yasai, a word for vegetable. Hence why Sigh-yan is more correct than Say-yan, that and Japanese pronunciation rules.TheBlackPaladin wrote:That leads me to another question that I've had for a while now...what is the correct pronunciation of "Namek"?

That wad Scott McNeil.penguintruth wrote:Really? You have a voice preference for friggin' Baata?
I sure hope the guy who did Farmer with a Shotgun returns. He was my favorite!
I'm simply stating that of all the Ocean Ginyu Force voices (Barring Jeice since he's already confirmed), I was hoping for at least Alec Willows to reprise his role as Burter since I liked his performance.penguintruth wrote:Really? You have a voice preference for friggin' Baata?
