Jinzouningen17 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Alright, since I know most folks are gonna be talkin about this now(especially peeps in the UK), I've decided to go ahead and make a complete thread all about the Dragonball GT dub so you can discuss whatever you want about it(The Funi version and the UK version). So uuuuh, dont make no more seperate threads on it(if there is another thread about the DBGT dub made, whether it be the Funi version or UK version, then I'll just merge it wit this one.). Alright, I guess I can begin this thread with the official Funimation version of the Dragonball GT theme. I know yall are ready to talk about this hip hop track(yes, it's a rapcore song. Sounds like somethin hedPE or Bionic Jive would do.). If you havent heard it just yet, you can download it at [url]http://www.dragonballgt.com/what_gt/230web.mp3[/url] (credit to dragonballgt.com, ukdb.net, and all the other countless sites and forums I found this on. lol) I guess this'll be the first thing of the DBGT dub that you can give your reviews on. Personally, I thought it was pretty decent. I wonder how they'll actually do the opening vid. But hey, its better than "Rock The Dragon". lol Anyway, lets let this be the beginning of the Dragonball GT dub thread. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Ugh, that was a horrific song... lol. I know some of you like rap music, but this is like old school 80's style rap lol. This went out of style so long ago. Reminds me of Go Ninja Go! ... anywaym this is pathetic. They could have hired a GOOD rapper if they were gonna do this. Hell FUNi could hire anyone good and I'd be happy. When does GT begin airing in the States? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzouningen17 Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]Reminds me of Go Ninja Go![/B][/QUOTE] ROTFLMAO!! Man, and the sad thing is that I actually remember that. lol [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]When does GT begin airing in the States?[/B][/QUOTE] Well, the DVD's begin gettin released in April(April 15th to be exact), so I'm guessin that this fall will be when GT begins airin on Cartoon Network. Oh, and so you know, remember that thread I posted about the DVD's comin out on April 15th, and it stated that it was beginnin wit the "Baby Saga"? Well, its actually gonna be beginnin at the very beginning of DBGT, but they're gonna call the first 30 or so eps "The Baby Saga" since if I'm not mistaken, there was controversy over the "Black Star Dragonballs Saga" name. I think they said it was already bein used, or they couldnt get the rights to it or somethin. *shrugs* I'll let ya know whenever I find out about it.

TheShinje Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 ugh :sick: I have to agree with Transtic, while the gutar riff behind the rap are kinda cool, the beginning with the beeps and whistles is just, horrific. And the lyrics, ugh, "step into the Grand Tour" Could they have no thought of anything else? Do they expect lots of fans are now going to go running around screaming "step into the grand tour" It is the worst idea since Rock the Dragon albeit, this is a failry more audible song to bear. It does get catchy after a while, but those beeps and whistles, no. and the lyrics, uh, no. Also worht mentioning is the way they imported clips from the show. That, is probably the best part of this, mostly awful, yet catchy, track. One Question, why are you making a sticky for all GT Dub threads Jinzou? is it for the threads to do with it's style, or is it for GT in general? my GT threads will be about the subs for a while, so I guess I don't fall under this category anyway...

But I know theres gonna be ALOT of threads about the dubs(with it comin out in the UK on Monday, and then Funi's DVD's comin out very shortly), so to save space, I just made this one.

Transtic Nerve Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I'm surprised the UK is getting the episodes before America. They used to be so far behind, now they are way ahead lol. I wish i lived in England so bad. But not for the DB lol, just because I love the English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always try and make the sagas really broad in episodes, and it was hard to imagine them skipping so many episodes in a series that's only 64 episodes long. Not to mention it would be hard to follow. In addition, I feel really stupid saying this, but sometimes I have dreams that kinda tell the future. Oh boy, like it was supposed to snow, and I drempt it wasn't going to snow, and it wasn't when I woke up (luckily allowing me to get a GC :toothy: ). One time I drempt it was going to snow when it wasn't supposed to, and it did (luckily allowing me to stay home from school :toothy: ). Stuff like that, and anywho, I think I had a dream once when it was kind of like it was saying that it would show the beginning of DBGT, but the dream was really confusing. o_O So...yeah... And I really do not like the rap either. They could have made a much better effort on that. -__- Otherwise, I'll finally be able to see DBGT, even though I know much about it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xra Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 [SIZE=4]WHAT THE ****!!!![/SIZE] Okay I lost a lot of respect for funimation before but this is just awful. If they were gonna make the beginning theme song rap, at least could they have someone that can sing, AND NO OPERA BACKGROUND!!! God, well the only good thing about this is FUNi bringing GT to english(even though i know the dubs will suck) very soon so I don't have to get the bootlegs with poor tracking anymore.

TheShinje Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I think its more sing/chanting than Opera Xra, that's my opinon. What can you expect from a F***ed up company? a F***ed up song? you betcha ~_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QuickSilver Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 the episodes were shown today and it was DBGT ep 01 and 02 so it looks like they are showing the whole series over here. and the opening theme was the same as the japanese version except they had a guy who sounds like Ozzy Osbourne doing English lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washu Hakubi Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Yeah, I was so glad! Plus they decided to keep in all the original background music which pleased me no end :) (I've seen up to episode 25 in Japanese) LOL! Ozzy Osbourne :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVENGE2 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Question: Is Dragonball: Grand Tournement really worth watching? From what I've heard, all but hardcore DBZ fans liked it. Everyone else thought it was horrible, and basicly thought it was something along the lines of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, or Digimon: Made simply to advertise a product, in this case, the then-new Dragonball game in Japan (Is that Budokai over here? I dunno...). Not that Digimon is bad...but Yu-Gi-Oh! isn't anything special. Can't judge Magic: The Gathering. Card game is great. Manga sucks from what a friend translated for me. Don't know about the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinzouningen17 Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by REVENGE2 [/i] [B]Question: Is Dragonball: GT really worth watching? [/B][/QUOTE] The first 6 eps are decent(with that original Dragonball edge. Only one good fight within those 6 eps), then after that it gets kinda weak until it gets to the Machine Mutant/Bebi saga(which is like ep 16 or 17 when it begins). After that, it somewhat gets back to its DBZ edge wit lots of fightin and such. But between ep 7 and 15, it gets dull. Well, the eps when the Para Para Brothers in it are pretty funny.... Meh, its worth watchin if you're a hardcore DB fan, but if you're not, you more then likely wont care for it too much. But its decent. Not as good as DBZ, but about the same level as DB(not better than DB, but about equal). But comparin it to somethin like magic, digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, or somethin like that is just an AWEFUL comparison due to the fact that neither of those shows have anything to even come close to comparin it wit. Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh! are about cards, Digimon are about monsters, and Dragonball is about...well, Dragonballs. So you cant even compare those things together since they're not in the same catagory. Oh, and so you know, the "then-new" Dragonball game was Dragonball GT: Final Bout(which I think there it was just known as Dragonball: Final Bout) for PSX/PS1. It came out here, but very few copies were made and very few people got it(I'm one of the few. :D I got it right when it came out here in the states back in like 1997 or 98{I know I was datin a girl named Tiffany when it came out, and I started datin her in late 97. *shrugs*}, even though I knew little to nothin about Dragonball at the time. I just got it because I had just started watchin Dragonball at the time, and there was only a few copies at Toys R Us for sale. lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by REVENGE2 [/i] [B]Question: Is Dragonball: Grand Tournement really worth watching? From what I've heard, all but hardcore DBZ fans liked it. Everyone [/B][/QUOTE] Correction -_- not all hardcore fans like this show, personally I would stay away from Dragon Ball GT. It only has one or two semi decent saga's and fails at trying to go back to the original Dragon Ball. Also I was thinking this over since I heard DBGT was going to be dubbed. How could they possibly get a worse opening song then Dan Dan, well -_- sadly Funimation once again proves that nothing is too bad for them to ruin more. They're not an anime company! -_- Real anime companies would know better then to put 80's rap style music. As Tn said -_- that GO Ninja Go Ninja rap compared to this new dbgt opening is even better. However with all the negative things said I'm interested to see how Cartoon Network will handle the airing of Dragon Ball GT. When it first was aired in Japan they aired the show the next week after the last episode of DBZ. Will Cartoon Network directly jumped into DBGT and rush it. Chances are most likely not, and they shouldn't. It would be much more fesible to air the rest of Dragon Ball before moving on to DBGT in my view. However Cartoon Network wait no they aren't at fault Funimation has a way of doing things backwards. Another thing that really is bothering me with the dubbing of this show is a couple of name changes to characters like Bra -_- and Giru who will most likely get a name change. Also DBGT action wise was pretty tame, will they censor out even more of it? These are questions everyone should start asking. Also will the special Biography of Goku be dubbed? In closing DBGT is a show that takes a lot of paitence to watch in it's original Japanese format. As more news on the Dubbed version becomes available my paitence wears even thinner with it. Honestly how worse could DBGT get? We'll the minute I heard ADV dropped the idea of gaining the license to it, and Funi was going to dub it I realize it can. Be afraid -_- anime and dbz fans I have a feeling your going to see the worst anime yet from Funi. Be prepared to throw away your respect for Dragon Ball after watching this, I did when it first aired in Japan. End Rant-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Jinzo, I should slap you for finding that horrible mockery of both GT and rap. -_- 1) At least Rock The Dragon had a semi-logical beat to it. 2) Hey, I liked Dan Dan Kokoro, thank you very much! :grumble: 3) I will be watching GT for three reasons; a) Super 17, b) Super Saiya-jin 4/Super 4 Vegita, and c) Bebi Vegita. You can't mess with Bebi Vegita. "I hate everything about Kakarot. I will eliminate you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShinje Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 [size=1] [color=blue] Does anyone know what the title of the awful screeching music was that FUNi put on halfway throiught the series ofd DBZ? I know is wasn't rock the dragon all the way through, they put another lame track on after Frieza I think. tha is, by far, the worst track, It makes the go ninjs go type DBGT rap look good. Or was this just New Zealand? The video intro was crap too. If you think it couldn't get any worse think about this 1) awful rap song 2) everytime it goes "aaah" in the song, you see a character on the video sequence powering up or yelling 3) they make tiens tri beam look like a 7o's dance step again (just the way it was portrated) 4) they get an even crappier song halfway through, and replace the video sequence with a bunch of dumb shots of character flying through the air There's still plenty of ways this can be ruined.
