So they're dubbing it. And it sounds fantastic
>>45925I'm sure the Nick/Funimation broadcast edits won't be there, but it is a good question if the Toei ones will be.
>>45926I'm pretty sure Toei's edits are still there.Even in the Japanese DVDs and Blu-Rays there doesn't appear to be any apparent difference between the TV version besides aspect ratio.
>>45935I consider that to be complete balls.No pun intended.
>>45945Yeah, but it's not like Toei is putting much effort into this. If they were this would be made of completely new animation. This is just a quick way to breath new life into their international cash cow.
Bend your knees and give praise to Super Kami Guru.Praise and a plasma TV.
Why is Frieza a better villain in the parody?
>>45985 He's voiced by little kuribo?
>>45985Because TeamFourStar is just that damn good.
Don't forget about the Dragon Booooox
Something I'm sure others have wonder: is the body we see Ginyu in to begin with even his original one?
>>46603You know, I've always wondered that.
>>46603My feeling is no.I like to pretend he was a worthless but magical frog to begin with
>>46675The one thing we know about his previous forms is that all of them could talk, because using the power require it.That's why he was stuck when he went into the frog's body; he couldn't talk anymore (and why, in the filler, he could take Bulma's body when she gave him the translator thing).
>>46676Perhaps a magical TALKING frog?I just think he's a worthless dick and deserves such humble beginnings. I don't care that much.
>>45985I'm glad that I'm not the only one that was thinking this.I'm watching TFSAbridged and just thinking " I don't remember Frieza being this entertaining a villain"
>>46603I used to wonder why he looked so much like Frieza.
>>46843I'm sure there's more than one alien species with the same devil horns.
>>46844Devil horns, sure. But black horns, purple skin, with a huge head and black pointy fingernails? Christ, it even looks like Ginyu had his shiny dome and surrounding area ripped off with all those veins. Only thing he's missing is a tail.
>>46855 Eh, Compared to the similarity between humans and saiyans, the cold-names race and Ginyu's don't even have a resemblance.
>>46855Well it's not the same shade of purple (it is the same as King Cold, but not Frieza's), Ginyu's body isn't segment, most Akira Toriyama character designs have large heads (and Ginyu's look more like a Saibaman's than Frieza), and Ginyu has regular ears instead of those headphone-like nodes on the side of his head.
>>46855It's worth noting that:- The Cold family's true forms are supposedly the "Final form" Freeza uses and the other forms are meant to suppress their incredibly high power. It's possible that Freeza and Cold both used forms similar to Ginyu as a way of throwing off anyone who might recognize their true species, which might give opponents a false confidence or even throw off any potential rebels from staging an assualt on their home world. It would also explain why Freeza used such a radically different look for his penultimate form.- Ginyu has ears, Freeza, Cold, and Cooler do not.
Though most likely obvious by now, just throwing it out there there are the DVD set is definitely less tamed than I'm sure what Nick is showing. I noticed in the first couple episodes that Goku was throwing around plenty of "damn" and "damnits" where "darn" and "darnits" used to be.That, and lots of "hell" from goodies and badies alike. They got rid of HFIL completely, and just call it Hell now. I always thought HFIL was clever, but I'm glad it got it's real name back. Though they cut that filler, so that's neither here nor there.Toei DID edit scenes though, apparently to fit the newer censorship Japan has. I supposed they've gotten tighter since the 90s. Genitals are the newest no-no. And for some reason, the scene where Piccolo fires the Makankosappo, Toei tamed the carnage. Also some little things, like Roshi's nudie mags. Toei kept his beer though, so if that's effed up, that's just Nick.ONE MORE THING.I guess Nick did a bad job remembering the Special Beam Cannon, since the DVD dub has it as Makankosappo for the two episodes he used it. I was surprised.
ALSO INTERESTING NOTEFuni changed the old screaming over 9000 scene back to the calmer over 8000 on the DVD. Is it the same for Nick?And does anyone know perchance if they're going to try covering EVERYTHING Z in just 100 episodes? Saiyan through Buu? Or are they just doing up to Cell or something
>>47602>Funi changed the old screaming over 9000 scene back to the calmer over 8000 on the DVD. Is it the same for Nick? I can't remember whether it was 9 or 8, but I do remember is being fairly calm.>And does anyone know perchance if they're going to try covering EVERYTHING Z in just 100 episodes? Saiyan through Buu? Or are they just doing up to Cell or somethingProbably the whole thing in 100 episodes (maybe shorter). Currently in Japan, they've aired 67 episodes and just gotten to Kami and Piccolo fusing together and finding the time machine Cell showed up in.
>>47602Nicktoons version, apparently.
Nappa's fight with Goku really makes me think Sabat based their character interaction on the Abridged Series.
>>48286Specifically his line,>I'm gonna shove those words right down your mouth... courtesy of my own.
>>48286Not sure about that, but Sabat actually did have a guest appearance in the Abridged Bardock Special.
Who wants to hear the UK dub? This is the movie where Goku fights Dragonquest monsters, by the way.
>>48664For some reason I've never seen this move before. Hmmm.Why does everybody have American accents if it's a British dub? Beyond that, I suddenly feel like for all its faults, the old Funimation dub is closer in spirit to the original DBZ than this.
Raging Blast 2 will include a remake (actually redrawn, not Kai-style remaster) of Plan to Eradicate the (Super) Saiyans.Funimation won't be dubbing it, though, it will only be available subbed in-game.The story of this old animation based on an old NES game will also make an impact in-game!

Have we talked about the second ending theme?It's got like, 7 members of an idol group all singing at once.
>>49056Christopher Sabat MUST be the one to sing the Dub version.
>>49056"Ugh" is about all I need to say to express how I feel about that song. Just thankful that I don't keep up with the Japanese version and the endings get dubbed in the FUNI version.
>>49058If it makes you feel better, there are 11 different versions of the single CD, so you can get the version with just your favourite girl singing.
>>49098Eh, they could make 100 different version for all I care. Besides, I'd just torrent that shit anyway.
>>49056..... Dammit I want the old ending back.
>>49114I see you aren't interested in collecting all the trading cards then.
Man, what is wrong with you girls? You can't call yourselves something awesome like "Team Dragon" and then dress in pretty white dresses. You need to all be wearing capes and carrying huge fuckoff swords, or at least go for a Sentai motif.
How do you guys feel about Hugh Laurie being the main villain of Dragonball Online?
>>49569Well at least it's not lupus.
>>49569 Is it finally getting an English release?
Oh dear.
Apparently the thing they're going to do is have a different singer for the opening for every boxset they put out.
>>49625...haha what.
>>49626I like Justin Cooke as a voice actor and I thought that his singing parts in the Beck were pretty awesome, but goddamn is that version of Dragon Soul bad.
>>49625...well he is a genie.
