In all seriousness, the censor-worthy S word? A lot of them? Isn't the box set rated PG? Even with a TV14, it would seem a bit much for DB.

Well those edits now make alot of sense now they were probraly never made to fit Nicktoons but probraly 4KiRAB. I guess airing it on two networks will actaully be better they might as well get as much use out of the crappy edit version as much as they can. Its a shame it wont be going to Cartoon Network that way the edits wouldn't be so bad that anyone abouve the age of twelve coudn't watch it without cringing.

I really hate Cartoon Network and how greedy they are when it comes to there anime acquisition I hope this wakes them up.

In Dragonball, there are a lot of naughty jokes (Mostly with Bluma) in the whole series. So, throughing some S-Borab in the dub DB series won't be a big deal. Well, if they don't over do it I mean.

Yah, I know but, I'm always up for the most accurate and close to thingz you can get Jin is japanese indication for people or person examples nihon-jin,amerika-jin, I'm just glad all my favorite animes might be on tv or are on tv

List of my faves
Pokemon
Dragon Ball Z
Sailormoon
Magical Doremi
One Piece
Naruto
Digimon
Bakugan
Stitch!

Who knows maybe Funi and 4kiRAB could work something out 4kiRAB could give or let borrow Funi the license to redub Magical Doremi and Funi could use the names Toei wanted them to use or just use the japanese names Im personally prefer the Japanese ones what do you think?


But, Funi did have some errors like saying the last person to become a super saiyan was 3000 years ago when it was only 1000 years ago.

Most likely, the Ocean Group dub will be for Canada and Europe only. It wouldn't make sense for 4kiRAB to air the Ocean Group dub, when they have access to the FUNimation dub and they are making the deal with FUNimation. Both FUNimation and Toei would want the FUNimation dub to be the one to air on American television, not the Ocean dub that isn't even being produced by them. It's been confirmed several times that FUNimation's edited dub will use the original American terms for attack names and whatnot, and it will already be ready to air on TV.

I have a feeling that Ocean Group will simply borrow FUNimation's scripts, so in turn, their new dub for Dragon Ball Kai would also be more accurate than the original dub.

[Meeeeow]

This...was not something I expected to see when I woke up.

DBZ + 4KiRAB = DOES NOT WANT

[Laurennn_Ox]

Oh thank goodness. I actually wanted to watch this and if this was Ocean Group....*shudders*

Even though...sucks for England...again...

Since when was DragonBall not a kiRAB show? It's understandable it was gateway anime for most of us, but come on. It's been a kid's show since it was first penned as a manga.



Running time slots and television standarRAB and practices.

Anyway, that's some crazy news. I heard 4kiRAB was going to return to its old ways as an anime distributor but I never would've imagined they'd be airing DBKai on their block. They're not the ones handling it though so people should quit getting in arms over the potential butchering of the series. Besides, we're still getting the good ol' Funi VA's right?

As for Cartoon Network, is anyone really surprised? They don't care about anime anymore and if the latest upfront shows anything, they don't need it either. They've got their own slate of original programming that's good enough to watch.

Heh, its starting to feel like the 90s again.

Cross Wars airing on the CW doesn't mean 4KiRAB would dub it, just that they'd air it. I mean, 4KiRAB is open to airing other companies' properties now - case and point DBZ Kai - so that may be where Toei is looking to air the series, since they've got Kai on there.

I figure Bandai would probably dub Cross Wars, that's just my speculation though.
