Re-Dub

I heard a rumor from [url]http://www.dbgt.com[/url] that FUNimation plans to re-dub the first 53 episodes (up to the begining of the Freeza saga) all over again, uncut in DVD form. Considering the (arguably) large amount of growth FUNimation has made over the past 6 or so years, I'd say this was a good thing. However, this is still a rumor and I'm not so sure if it's true.

Can anyone confirm it?

Well they probably will. As far as I know, they've been thinking about it for a while. The first 53 episodes were dubbed by Ocean Group and owned by Pioneer. Funimation still had rights to the episodes, but at that time they could neither afford the "talent" to do VAs now the propor ability to market the episodes. With their current cast, I wouldn't be that surprised if they re-dubbed those episodes to call them "their own." So; rumor, yes... likely to come true... probably.

Bah. I liked the Ocean group voices better, because their's were the first VA's I saw when I got into DBZ. The new VA's are cool, especially Vegeta, but nothing like the old ones. I see no point to re-dubbing unless they add more of what was cut out like they did to the current dubbed version.

[COLOR=royalblue]Yes indeed they are re-dubbing the Dragonball Z episodes to be fully uncut. Thank God they are! But, yes I read it in Anime Invasion. I can't wait! [/COLOR]

with the exception of Goku, who sounds like a typical american superhero . (no offense to Sean Schemmel, American Superheroes, but goku just isn't like that )

Although I absolutely Hate FUNi in everything they do, i can't help from overcoming this bias to say, it's acually a GOOD idea, now the series can be watched right through without the voices changing mid - riff, and i can possibly buy season one on VHS, which i can never seem to find.

Shame all their other decisions can't be this good.

best news yet since Planetnamek died :p
