What? Did I hear that they've only recently started dubbing the Universe 6 arc. This has to be an error unless, they've been secretly dubbing far later into Super than we assumed.

The only thing that tells me it might not be an error is the timing actually coincides. But yeah I am fairly sure it is
I would literally go crazy if it wasn't aha.

They mean simulcast (I assume) it's most likely an honest mistake that's easy to make. Damn it, you tease Funi!.

Oddly, both Super and even One Piece are now listed on the SimulDubs section.
Definitely an error, they really need to organize their site better.
Also, the One Piece page does actually say Simulcast, so the Super one has been changed (as before I believe it said simulcast, though I could be wrong).

Simulcat is 8.30pm they can't get both wrong lol... I am still holding out on the 1% chance this is legit till FUNi respond!

But ultimately I think your right!

Look on the simuldubs page. One Piece & DBS are listed towards the bottom.

For Sean, I'd imagine they're fast tracking his recordings. He's most likely recorded all of Goku & King Kai's dialogue already for the first 2 arcs at least & if they're simuldubbing the series to fast track its airing & dubbing, they most likely have Toei sending them finished episodes for their translators to translate for the simulcasts, then work on the scripts, then Sabat has them dubbing it as soon as possible. This means they could be passed Resurrection F already & may be on the Future Trunks stuff.
As For One Piece, not a lot of the main voice cast work on both at the same times, so they'd just need to divide & conquer, if not do one show with an actor in the morning & do the other one with the same actor later in the day so they can rest their voice.

Then again, this could be me & wishful thinking here. Frankly, the new site layout's kinda stupid for them, so who knows, really.

Could they really pull this off?

With regards to One Piece in particular, the subject of a simuldub actually came up in an interview the One Piece Podcast did with Mike McFarland and Joel McDonald (the two main ADR directors for the series dub) a couple of years ago, shortly after Funimation started doing the whole simuldub thing. While they were wary of saying anything definitive on the subject, the general vibe was that it would be a complete logistical nightmare to actually try to do for a series like One Piece in the time-frame allowed by that sort of production.

I feel like Super would be quite similar in that regard and probably not something they'd actually try to do under normal circumstances. Granted, they've probably streamlined things a bit in the past couple of years, but...I really can't see those listings as anything but a website error.

Some people have taken people saying they're enjoying Super more dubbed out of context and thinking the prefer the dub over sub.

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I've been enjoying Super more dubbed and I do prefer dub over sub for Dragon Ball overall.

For me I prefer the Japanese versions of original Dragon Ball, Z, GT and the pre-Battle of Gods movies. For everything after that Funimation dub is the way to go.

I'm kinda like this. Though, I personally prefer the Pioneer dubs of three Z movies over their original audio counterparts.

I can second this opinion, but... it's more like I'm actually interested enough in the dub to rewatch the recent movies, Kai and Super. I will always prefer the original version, but hearing the show in English with close to nothing lost in translation is an absolute delight. Watching Battle of Gods in a packed theater was something I'll never forget.

Those Pioneer dubs, though. Talk about being ahead of their time. I wouldn't say they match today's standards of localization, but they come close and absolutely knock other competition out of the park for the time they were released.

I'll watch things subbed if I have to. I just prefer an accurate, good dub if I can watch that. Where the "out of context" thing has been coming from is the fact that everyone's saying either the line changes, whether good or not, are warranted, or wanted, & if some of the casting choices are good, or not. I, personally, don't mind some of the castings as long as the voice fits, or is bearable, or line changes as long as they're minimal. Luckily, we don't get a lot of those nowadays.

At this rate Future Trunks arc is only in next year?

How Dare You Do That to My Bulma! Vegeta's Furious Transformation?

I can't help but feel like the punctuation should be reversed for this one.

Like: "How Dare You Do That to My Bulma? Vegeta's Furious Transformation!"

It wouldn't be the first time we've had a weird title like that, though.

The question mark after Bulma makes no sense.
But the question mark after the second sentence makes it ambiguous as to what the transformation is, which works in my opinion.

Hey, for all those complaining about the FUNimation King Kai, I found a clip with an EVEN WORSE voice in the Bang Zoom dub...at least, in my opinion.

[DB_Fan1991]

Hmmm I actually prefer Michael McConnohie's Kaio as it sounds closer to Joji Yanami & Naoki Tatsuta's versions. I hate how FUNi likes to think his voice is part of the joke when it's not.

A simuldub? Fuck, I can't imagine what disaster that would look like xD
