All the more reason to dislike him right back!GI_Judd2287 wrote:As would I. I get the impression he hates the majority of the elitist anime community.
I was under the impression that Sabat can call all of the shots. I mean, he is more than half of the VA talents there (Well with Dragonball anyway). While we’re at it, why the hell is this considered news (for its time)? Is there anything else going on in Dallas that they could talk about?!GI_Judd2287 wrote:As would I.

Now I want to mean Sabat at a convention really bad..Dr Gero, in Budokai 2 wrote:Go, my Saiba Rangers!

So you're going to dislike someone you don't even know, for something that hasn't even been completely confirmed; not to mention out of spite simply because he's not part of the Ocean Group?All the more reason to dislike him right back!
Seems he was the reason the Ocean cast got dropped and now he basically is the cast of Dragonball Z (co-starring Sean Schemmel as everyone Chris Sabat isn't in DBZ). I like the Ocean cast. So I don't like him.
According to Caitlin Glass (when asked about it at AnimeNEXT) one of the other factors was that in some ways, Texas is considered "the third coast", and has a pretty large casting pool of its own. As I'm hoping several of you guys know, many of FUNimation's in-house cast have done stage or radio work, even some independent film work (like Eric Vale and Jason Liebrecht for instance), in cases YEARS before they even got into the voiceover industry. So if you were in charge of a company, wouldn't you prefer to utilize those in your OWN area, as opposed to people on the other side of the country (in this case IN another country, actually XD;)?The ocean cast was dropped because Barry Watson was tired of constantly flying over to Canada to oversee the production, plus FUNi had no more funding from Saban.
I can also dislike the President, Tom Cruise, and whoever the Hell decided to cancel Invader Zim even though I know none of them personally.Kirbopher wrote:So you're going to dislike someone you don't even know, for something that hasn't even been completely confirmed; not to mention out of spite simply because he's not part of the Ocean Group?

Well... I kinda don't remember those things. I was too young then! D: And what is "PR"? o__O;VegettoEX wrote:What everyone needs to keep in mind when reading this article and talking about it all is to remember the timeframe and the circumstances:
- We didn't have a subtitled version of the show, and as far as we knew, we were never going to get one.
- FUNimation didn't exactly have anything resembling "PR". Lance Heiskell did not exist. Sabat calling us all "snobs" and the company's and fans' mutual hatred for each other was just another day at the park, back then.
Aah, disclaimer!Kendamu wrote:As I don't know Chris Sabat as a person and what he does in his freetime outside of his work on anime that FUNi distributes isn't really of any interest to me (as well as a lot of other people) when I say "I don't like Sabat" it's supposed to be pretty obvious that I'm talking about him as an employee of FUNimation.
I'm sure that the people who make up the cast and crew of FUNimation's DBZ are nice people and all that. However, I'm not here to talk about Sean Schemmel's DVD collection and critique how he uses the bathroom or talks to his family. So, when I talk about likes and dislikes with the people behind any version of anything related to Dragonball, I'm talking about them as whatever they are to the overall production of Dragonball-related things as this is a Dragonball message board and not the "Dude I went to the bar with Kyle Herbert the other night" message board.
No offense, man, that's just how it sounded to me. Now try saying that really fast like it's for a commercial or something... xD;; It does make sense, though, I suppose. o_o

Knowing is half the battle....
However I think they really do care about the fanbase. They just aren't privy to what the majority want. Also there are several different types of fans. Some who worship the dub, others who loath it as if it were a war crime and those of us in between. So you can imagine the mixed messages they recieve. I'm not excusing their mistakes I'm just saying what Iv'e observed over the years. 
Thank you, I'm sure you are, as I wasn't directing that particular post at any specific person. I was just referring to people in general who spit out hateful and mean remarks towards these people that seem to be slightly more than just disliking the creative decisions they make when doing their dubs.Kendamu wrote:As I don't know Chris Sabat as a person and what he does in his freetime outside of his work on anime that FUNi distributes isn't really of any interest to me (as well as a lot of other people) when I say "I don't like Sabat" it's supposed to be pretty obvious that I'm talking about him as an employee of FUNimation.
It's also intriguing to see what other stuff they do aside from voice-acting or even actual acting. Kyle Hebert does (or did?) radio DJing and ads, Sean Schemmel played French Horn, Vic Mignogna does stuff in music and graphic design, and Sonny Strait draws comics. (He's also messing around with learning Bass guitar for his own band. xD) It's really interesting to see what other kinds of things they do that's not necessarily anime-related. After all, voice-acting (as fun as it seems) is a low-paying job... ^^;Space Coyote wrote:It's always fun to talk to actors, voice actors in particular, to learn about their craft. Lots of voice actors do stage work as well, so it's interesting to see how they differentiate the two and approach the roles differently.
