Re: English Opening Singers
I would think that they would change the song for the new Kai stuff.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Re: English Opening Singers
A new opening would be nice but it's most likely Toei will just reuse Dragon Soul for the Buu stuff. Then again people thought there wouldn't even be a Buu arc so it pays not to give up hope.

Re: English Opening Singers
I'm hoping they get Kageyama back, whether it's a new opening or a re-use of "Dragon Soul."

A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Re: English Opening Singers
You could ask LordCrehavos9000 to do Dragon Soul in Perfect Cell's voice since he's practically a dead ringer for Mr Clarke, though he's been hesitant in doing it even though he's not half-bad singing as Cell.CaBrPi wrote:Colleen Clinkenbeard and Dameon Clarke spring to mind.ringworm128 wrote:I'm a bit disapointed they started syncing two versions together for the later sets.

A Colleen Clinkenbeard would be awesome IMO since her voice is one of my favorites. Also Dameon Clarke would be pretty interesting.CaBrPi wrote:Colleen Clinkenbeard and Dameon Clarke spring to mind.ringworm128 wrote:I'm a bit disapointed they started syncing two versions together for the later sets.

Re: English Opening Singers
ok so I realised my main issue with the songs, after listening to Brina Palencia's version. Now she is a good singer, but they've (I dunno whether it was a concious decision to hide any singing flaws/faults) shrouded and overpowered her with the instrumental you can barely hear her.
Out of interest are there any links of audio geniuses who have cranked up Brina's voice?

Re: English Opening Singers
I did find it funny going to my first ever convention late last year and hearing Vic Mignogna singing Dragon Soul in the background when I was eating lunch. Good times.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.
Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

I like it when songs are dubbed too but I wish the full versions were dubbed too.

Re: English Opening Singers
I really want them to get Vic Mignogna back, and sing the song with his own voice. I love the NickToons version, but his normal voice is so good.

Re: English Opening Singers
I agree. That was what was disappointing to me about his version of Dragon Soul, it wasn't that it was bad, it was just that I know Vic can do waaaayyyy better based on his other songs.songohan619 wrote:I really want them to get Vic Mignogna back, and sing the song with his own voice.

That song was already the best song in any anime ever and he made it even better for me.
Does Ms. McCoy still work for Funi? The fact she was recast kinda made me think she didn't.CaBrPi wrote: Colleen Clinkenbeard and Dameon Clarke spring to mind.

They know she can sing though as she already did the a wonderful rendition of the second One Piece opening. So yeah I would love to hear her at least sing a song in Kai.
Re: English Opening Singers
I don't think she does. I seem to remember that Funimation got her to come back for Maria Ross in the dub of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood though. I think that's the last thing she did for them.
Re: English Opening Singers
That's kinda bizarre. She was a great Ross but Ross' role in FMAB is even smaller than her role in FMA. It's certainly nothing comparable to how iconic 18 is.
They have weird priorities. They make sure to get McCoy back for Ross but they don't get Clarke back for Scar. He almost didn't come back for Cell either I hear.

Re: English Opening Singers
Well, Clarke is now a member of a union, and it's risky to do non-union work when you're a union member.
Not that it matters because it's Dartanian Nickelback voicing Cell in Kai.

Re: English Opening Singers
Kinda off topic but I just noticed my 'Dragon Soul Sextet' video is featured in a TVtropes article for Earworms in Anime.

I would love for their to be a Meredith McCoy version of DS since I think she has an awesome singing voice.
