DB Super Simuldub?

[Cure Dragon 255]

While it might sound like a weird question to ask,(I think people will say "Yeah! DUH!") would you like a more careful and tactful dub coming later or getting your DB Super Goodness Dubbed ASAP?

Also do you think Super will air on Toonami as soon as its dubbed?

[fadeddreams5]

Wouldn't be surprised if Toonami airs BoG and FnF dubs one Saturday (or one during two consecutive Saturdays), and then replaces Kai with Super. I'm assuming this'll be a year and change after Super airs in Japan.

[Cure Dragon 255]

I think Super is a really powerful Ratings Super Weapon (LOL) but I think that Toonami should air all of Kai first, not because people are unfamiliar with the story after Cell but rather because Kai is also doing amazing and it should be squeezed out of profitability first. So that Toonami has more mileage out of it.

It depends if Toei has the footage ready to be dubbed. From what I've been told most of the DBZ voice cast is not in Texas at the moment. I think having a simusub is more likely going to happen. Heck we still don't have the Kai Buu saga on DVD and Blu-Ray yet.

Most of the cast is in Texas, but some major players that would presumably still be in Super, aren't. Most notably off the top of my head, Sean Schemmel (Goku, King Kai), Kyle Hebert (Gohan), and Laura Bailey (Kid Trunks) are in LA now. Not to mention Todd Haberkorn if Jaco is involved at all (and that's assuming his presumed voice acting in Xenoverse would carry over to Resurrection 'F').

There's also the fact that simuldubbing in general is a LOT more complicated of a process than simulcasting just with subtitles would be. Sonny Strait has mentioned on his FB before that for simuldubs, the actors have to be in the same town in Texas as the studio they're recording at. Not even other areas in Texas are applicable for those. So simuldubbing something where they would need a number of people from LA just doesn't seem very likely at all.

But hey, that's okay, really. Waiting for the dub a little bit means they won't really have to rush things and we'll hopefully get a better product for it. And we're sure to get it a hell of a lot sooner than we got a lot of other DB material in the past, so it'll all be fine in the end.

I rather have subs out first before we get a dub. I would have to wait another year to watch the show subbed because Funimation wants the show out both subbed and dubbed at the same time.

[sangofe]

I honestly don't think it will happen. Neither simulsub or dub. Even though I wish it would.

[Lord Beerus]

I'd love for Dragon Ball Super to get a simuldub, but realistically, it's not gonna happen.

[Hellspawn28]

I really want a simulsub, but seeing how Kai didn't get one back in 2009 then I have a feeling that we might get one until next year. Toei will likely want a TV deal be made first.

That's what I'm thinking too. Toei most likely want Dragon Ball on as many airwaves as possible straight out of the gate.

[Valerius Dover]

A simulcast may happen, it's possible. Kai not getting one isn't really an indication, because that's a recut of an existing series. One could say the main attraction of Kai is the new dub, so a simulcast would be pretty pointless.

Super is a brand new series, however. I wouldn't be surprised if a simulcast were to happen. Simuldub, however? Impossible. Several voice actors who play lead roles don't live in the state, so it can't be done well.

From this weekend:

Funi addresses the Dragonball Super elephant in the room- they know it exists, but are not currently involved. #FunimationPanel #ACen2015

Things can certainly change, but time is only ticking down.

This must be a bluff or flat out lie. Why the hell Funimation not want be involved as soon as possible in a new Dragon Ball series in 2015? It makes no sense.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

They never said they don't want to be involved as soon as possible. It's just not as simple as saying "hey, you want in on this new Dragon Ball anime?" though. It's a business and there are legal hoops to jump through with negotiations, contracts, etc.

[Sanyo96]

It probably wouldn't cause Sean Schemmel (voice of Goku) doesn't live in Texas, which is where Funimation is based.

[rs_chaosmaster]

Lets be honest if you are Funimation what event would you want to announce Dragonball Super Acquisition at ACEN2015??? Definitely not. I am 85% confident that Dragon Ball Supers Acquisition will be announced at San Diego Comic Con that will drive as much attention as possible. I really hope for a Dragon Ball Z Kai Buu Saga announcement soon as well!!!

There's a very good chance they are not even done drawing the thing; so much so they won't set an actual date in July; and we are talking about acquisitions. I mean, look at F. Schemmel recorded his dialog for the movie yesterday.

[JulieYBM]

Toei Animation records to unfinished animation one month before an episode airs, according to what we've learned from Toriko #99, One Piece #590 and Disk Wars: Avengers. Extra time is then needed for any future animation corrections for the home video master, assuming Dragon Ball Super gets any corrections. One must also factor in whether or not the materials for foreign dubbing are even collected together. The production staff don't have enough time to make the series let alone send raw materials to the licensing department to ship over to foreign licensees.

[Demon of Light]

With the way Funimation works, there's no chance for a simuldub. I don't know why anyone would even want a simuldub, anyway. Such a thing would be rushed and riddled with errors and lousy dubbing, because they just won't have time to record as many takes as necessary for it to sound decent. A buffer would only do good for everyone.

[DBZ_Lee]

Personally, I'd love a Broadcast dub, but that is unlikely. A simulcast however, would be more than sufficient.
