[up]I'd also like to add that not only was Orphen not a Funimation dub, it was an ADV dub directed by the infamous Steven Foster.

[up] Isn't he the one who changed a main character's gender in the fub for Loups;Garou?

Yep. I think we should stop there before this conversation goes to a dark place.

Ah, now, I don't think the conversation was getting too dark. But, agreed. Steve Foster has nothing to do w/ Funimation.

Although, quick question; was Angel Beats dubbed by Funimation? I've always had that assumption. The presence of Greg Ayres, Brittney Karbowski, and Luci Christian certainly didn't help.

Ah that was not. It was dubbed by Sentai. You see Funimation actors because both studios are located in Texas.

Oh. That makes sense. I typically don't care for Sentai and their dubs, but I remember Angel Beats having a pretty good one; voice and script-wise.

so,Funimation is going to re-release the Ocean dub of the first two seasons and the first three movies in a set. Good for the nostalgic ones.Wonder if they will do that for the Ocean dub of the Cell and Buu sagas aired in Canada,UK and some other english speaking countries(though it was a rushed job and simply re-used Funimation's dub script.Then again,it was Funi who did the dub script of the first Ocean dub anyway.)

Now I want the Big Green dub of the moies released!!

Welcome to a few months/two days ago (depending how early you found the news). I really couldn't be bothered to give a damn, despite getting into DBZ when that dub was broadcast — Funi probably doesn't have the okay to try to license the new movie yet, so this will hold off some of the fans in the meantime.

[up][up][up]I'm still waiting for Ocean to wrap up with DBZ Kai. I'm interested in Kai so much because, the more i think about it, Ocean has never gotten a fair chance at dubbing DBZ.

In their first dub (episodes 1-53), Kids WB censored the show to hell and back ("Next Dimension" and "HFIL" to say the least). After Funi took over in 1999, they were completely absent from most of the Ginyu Force saga to Future Trunk's arrival.

Then, when they got to dub episodes 108-276, they got shafted into a rushed production schedule and had to deal with a ton of other restrictions (Canadian Content laws were the reason they had to dub the show in the first place; as a consequence, they were forced to reuse music from other canadian produced shows such as Megaman and Monster Rancher).

Imagine if the Ocean cast were finally able to produce an uninterrupted dub of DBZ. That's what i'm holding out for.

I hate coming up with signature lines.

Less than 3000 likes to go before the special announcement is announced.

It'll either be lame, awesome, or somewhere in-between.

after seeing the voice-cast of Future Diary a few days ago,it's curious to see Christopher Corey Smith(Emperor Mateus from Dissidia,Rufus from Street F Ighter IV and Kittan from Gurren Lagann) as the 11th.He's been getting roles in Funimation dubs lately isn't him?Maybe he has become like Patrick Seitz,Stephanie Sheh and Johnny Yong Bosch who do works for them once in a while despite not being regulars from there.

He definitely has. Glad to see him in some Funi roles since last year, even if it's for some needed competition for the douchebag characters. :p

Interesting. I didn't even know Smith is making the transition between states.

[up][up] I actually suspected this because Serial Experiments Lain got the same bonus. I have no clue why they're pimping GC so much though (even when it was simulcast, they had full rights from the get-go).

Finally. Is this really a surprise to anyone? Now we need to wait until January if the previous pattern holds up for the limited theatrical release and March for the DVD/Blu-Ray.

Not really, but it does give the fans an excuse to post the infamous "Congratulations" scene. XD
