Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.

That guy wasn't as mind-numbingly annoying and stupid as people werer making him out to be in the comments. I hope he didn't take the comments too seriously. He was misinformed and spoke like an average teenager, but I think he's a teenager and I think someone from here nicely pointed him out to some better info.

Really, though, I get a kick out of the trailer. Not in one of those "lulz 9000" kind of ways, but more one of those, "...when Adult swim was good," kind of ways.

Sorry, but this has been going on since page one, and I didn't see it for a while.
Really caught me off guard.

Wow that trailer has no Sabat talking at all.

Edit: or maybe it's my PC.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

But screw the Ocean dub for the first three movies, right?

Also check out his thoughts on Kai. He needs to be informed a little. :D
I go to make and comment and the guy removes the video.

Hopefully it's more out of "Wait, I was wrong. Thanks, DaizEX!" instead of, "Those assholes on YouTube were calling me names! Fuck the Internets!"

Yup, I knew it, I should have never commented on everything else because I everything I say can and will be used against me.

Hell, I even gave a reason why Funi would never use the Ocean Dub. It's outdated. Funi doesn't need it anymore and the likelihood of them using after they've already had their own voice cast for over 12 years is slim. To them, adding the Ocean voice cast would be pointless and redundant.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Probably the latter. Anybody got his username?

I'm a teenager too, but I'm not going to add ridiculous comments when I don't have the facts.
Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.

I still say the music in that trailer sounds like a Funimation revised English version of Cha-La.

I was talking more about calling the trailer "gay" instead of something like "corny" or "aimed at the wrong audience" when I was referring to him talking like an average teenager.

I thought you meant his opinion, in general, was that of an average teen. My mistake.

Nah. It wasn't that long as that I was a teenager! I'm not too biased against the younger crowd just yet. :lol:

The Ocean Dub isn't Funi's dub and conflicts with it. The Faulconer music IS part of Funi's dub and doesn't conflict with it at all. Much of the stuff in Funi's dub is made with his music in mind, which is why the dub sounds awkward with the Japanese music.

:lol: I'm very biased towards my generation. I feel like I have the mentality of a cranky, old man in a young body. My grandfather and I are nearly twins.

You... GAH! *grabs head*

As a fellow dub fan, I have to ask you to stop saying things like this. You're being contradictory and just generally not making sense. :?

I'm not good at verbalizing my thoughts...

I guess what I'm trying to say is...this is a Funi release. Why should we suddenly expect them to include the Ocean dub after 13 years? Let's be realistic, here.
