Guest Solid Snake Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [color=teal]For those of you who visit theOtaku.com, and even some of you who don't, you would know that there is a rumor going around that the last 14 episodes of Dragonball Z may not be aired on Toonami. Personally, I couldn't take it if I had to wait another whole year just to watch 14 episodes. What is probably going to happen is that FUNImation is going to try to get you to buy those last 14 episodes, so even fans who tape record all of them will have to give in. I don't want this to turn into a thread bashing FUNI or dubbed dbz. I was just wondering how many of you have heard about this, and what you think.[/color] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, it sucks big time. The second heard about it, I bought the whole series subbed. ;) So, I still get to see them. In fact I already did. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transtic Nerve Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 lol. They have like.... 30 episodes to go. They made like 70 last time. Oh well. Typical business manuver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SunRiZe Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Surely it wouldn't hurt to play 14 measly epsiodes before playing the entire thing again. I thought it sucked we have to wait another year over here already to get back to Final Antonement (where we decided to repeats again) why do the always have to muck around with DBZ? and not play it like it should be played? this just makes me mad. :flaming: VERY mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I'm not worried about the last 14 episodes, I haven't even seen the new ones yet. I think they were showing them in the US first and we Aussies have to wait longer. I'm about to go out of my mind watching old episodes:flaming: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I really couldn't care less about the situation, I saw the show long ago and don't wish to see the terrible dubbed version again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, well, it seems that every season, they come out with less episodes, 12 being their all time low. But as Transtic pointed out, it's all buisness to them, they don't care about us at all, just our money (duh). I'll probably either buy the subs off a net auction, or download the rest of the episodes. I'm not wasting my money like those other times. ::looks to 29 dubbed tapes::[/color] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning people will have to wait another year for the last measly 19 episodes of Z. Just like FUNImation to screw over their loyal viewers.

Manic Webb Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I'm wondering if this was such a good idea. On one hand, their tape/DVD sales will increase. On the other hand, I see Cartoon Network's ratings for DBZ dropping drastically. If the folks at Toonami want to stretch this incomplete season out, they might want to start showing new episodes weekly, instead of twice a day like last time.

Lady Macaiodh Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]why are they doing this crap. i don't have the money to go out & buy videos! i need [i]food[/i] & stuff. & my computer royally [i]sucks[/i] so there's no way i can watch it there, it would probably take like 3 days to DL 5 minutes of 1 episode. i'll probably [i]never[/i] see all of dbz! probably none of gt either, i still haven't seen that even once. sorry, i had to rant for a few minutes.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Webb Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I just heard that FUNimation plans to show the last few episodes in the [b]spring[/b] of 2003, not the fall like some of us had feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=teal]And here I was thinking they were never going to show it on TV. ;) I thought that it was obvious that it wouln't be shown next fall. I remember about a year ago, on OtakuBoards, we had a discussion relating to the airing of DBGT (Grand Tour). In the end, we came to the conclusion that it would be shown in the fall of 2003. Hence, Toonami would want to get the rest of the series out of the way before then, lol. Unfortuanetly, FUNI has taken it upon themselves to forcefully dub DBGT perhaps even further than DBZ. They actually had the [i]nerve[/i] to change Bra's name, as they did to Mr. Satan.[/color] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Well its obvious they would do that. Is there any word as to what she will be called in America yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Harris Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 It goes with the joke of "Bulma's family named after underwear" Now they have to change it even though by 7 (the target age for US DBZ) kids should know what a Bra is for. How weird can FUNI and US censors get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Macaiodh Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]okay, now this is really crossing the line. one of the many great things about dbz is toriyama's sense of humor, & the name associations are priceless. now they're ruining that too.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Geez, what's the use of having the underwear joke with Bulma's family if you're going to change their names?! And what the hell is wrong with the name Bra anyway? It's no different to the name Trunks, or Briefs. I don't see why they had to change Mr Satan's name. It's not like kids are going to become devil worshipers because some guys name is Mr Satan. Ok, I've had my rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I hope if they change her name, it's changed into some kind of a "heard it differently" name like Bura. Sure, everyone likes to go with "Bra," but "Bura" would be just as valid (especially considering Bulma's name used to be Buruma). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
