Ya know, once they get their studio set up, they may actually output content like DBZA faster. Kaiser already seems to works on the series in basically all his free time so it but not but who knows.

It's hasn't been that long since the Patreon reached all of its stretch goals. Those things can take quite a bit of time to setup so be patient.

It's ridiculous to believe that consumers are paying for let's plays and Final Fantasy instead of what the group is most known for.

What is ridiculous is to believe you are entitled to something you didn't pay for just because you paid for something else. It is not like they have been misleading about what they are doing. Their Patreon campaign is pretty explicit for what it is about: hiring more people, buying better equipment and eventually building a production house. It is also explicitly not for speeding up Dragon Ball Z Abrdiged (or Hellsing Abridged). I don't follow the team that closely to know if they are actually using the money for that purpose, but that is only what the proposed to do with that money.

There's a fundamental difference between a donation and a purchase.

Also that. Patrons are not costumers.

And the major schedule slip ups seem to be on Kaiser not wanting anyone else to edit the show together but him

More editors would not make things go faster.

They've said this multiple times.

We've said this multiple times.

Any actual editor who was asked would say this to you multiple times.

That guy on Kaiser's tumblr was totally an asshole.

That they are now paid for their content is meaningless as far as release dates goes. No other form of paid entertainment allows the audience to set the release dates. I don't get to decide that the Captain Marvel film will be released tomorrow, even though I'm going to be paying for the cost of a ticket. I waited over a decade for a new Jurassic Park, despite paying the cost of a ticket for every film in the franchise.

Paying into their Patreon does not give anybody managerial authority over TeamFourStar's development process. Nobody is entitled or obligated to anything but what was agreed upon in their Patreon page.

[up]Comparing with a movie ticket is not accurate though. After all, you only pay for a movie the moment you are going to see it. If you buy the fallacy that donating for Patreon is the same as buying DBZAnote  then it would be reasonable to demand at last a date for when the episodes are released(keywords: "fallacy" and "would").

The last paragraph is spot on, though.

Why does Kaiser Neko pronounce Goku with the accent on the second syllable?

Apparently it's the Japanese pronunciation, but I've watched a bit of the Japanese stuff and I'm not hearing it.

but HOW?

It's weird hearing him say it.

Like hearing the name "Jacob" only someone insists on pronouncing it "jay-CUB" instead of "JAY-cub".

It's fine. We all subscribe to different spellings and pronunciations in this thread, too.

Hearing Kaiser say he'd rather Goku never teleport normally again, I keep thinking about how hilarious that'd be during the Warp Kamehameha scene.

"If you fire that thing, you'll destroy the planet!"
...*pop*...*unpop* "I'll what now?"
"Destroy the planet! The beam's too powerful!"
"Right. Right." *pop*...*unpop* "and that's a bad thing, right?"
"GOKU!"
"Right. Right." *pop* "HAAAAAAA!"

Yeah, I definitivelly hear go-KU in Japanese. Might be because that is the pronunciation in Portuguese as well. However, the name "悟空" can be romanized as "gokuu", so the emphasis in the last syllable make sense (although Japanese syllable don't quite work like that.

Like hearing the name "Jacob" only someone insists on pronouncing it "jay-CUB" instead of "JAY-cub".

Yes, that is exactly what hearing "GO-ku" is like.tongue

Probably because English tends to put emphasis on the first syllable of a two-syllable word.

Presumably why it's "GO-ku" in English and "Go-KU" in Japanese.

Given what Kaiser said about seeing the lightning effect a lot, I wonder if they're going to edit in the lighting aura for Super Saiyan 2, 3, and Super Perfect Cell.

The Portugal version went with both tongue They would call him Songoku all the time, and different characters/actors opted to accentuate different syllables (so, we would hear Songokú or Songóku, depending on who was speaking).

I'm still not a big fan of Kaiser using the Japanese pronounciation of Goku's name since it just sounds weird to me after years of hearing it the localized pronounciation. But it could be worse, he could be saying Son Goku every single time, imagine how redundant that would get.

Okay. Just listened to the Japanese audio for Kai.

Kaiser's pronouncing it wrong. The English pronunciation is pretty spot on. Kaiser's placing the accent upon the wrong syllable. He also mispronounces Tenshinhan's name.
