Ask A FUNimation Rep!

[Yash]

Shouldn't we let Lance finish answering the current questions before piling new ones on? That way he'll at least be able to address what everyone asks.

Yeah, but just one more:

Edit: Don't answer this question, it's stupid...

 

[KarlOlson]

Yeah, but just one more:

Will the DBZ redub contain the original music or Faulconer/Menza music?

Before 5,000 other people decide just one more:

THIS IS THE STOP POINT UNTIL LANCE STARTS REPLYING AGAIN.
OR ELSE. GOT IT?

I hate doing that, but I want don't to overload Lance, and besides, patience is a virtue.

...

Actually, sense people tend to ignore the "stop-post" posts, and just go ahead and post... I shall combine with Karl and create another...

DO NOT POST UNTIL LANCE RETURNS
post.

Maybe images are necessary.

I know. But I'm anxious to find it out.

I'll edit it out...

Knux, I know you said "Stop Posting", however I posted something earlier, but it was deleted as because a mod felt I was showing impartiality.

Anyway... Let me ask this again. Which side of FUNimation can we expect to see with their dubbing projects in the near and distant future? The side of FUNimation that is conservative and doesn't add in cursing and stays loyal to the Japanese language, or the FUNimation that adds cursing in certain areas, as Justin Cook said, to make more pleasable/understandable to the American audience whom understand them to add emotion, though I personally disagree.

 

[KarlOlson]

OK


NOW



STOP ​

Seriously, next person to post a question even though Lance isn't online is getting a warning.

 

[lheiskell]

A question that I have to ask:

Is Funi going to try to write an English version of "Ultra Relax", the second (and IMO, better of the two) OP to Kodocha?

Most likely.

 

[lheiskell]

My main question is this: Will FUNimation have any hand in the domestic release of the Square Enix PS2 game? I would love for that to happen, so the voices will match up with their TV series counterparts (esp. Vic Mignogna as Edward).

Square Enix was on hand and supervised the dub of the video game at a sound studio in Dallas. All the VA's from the game are the same as the anime.

 

[lheiskell]

Does FUNimation have a release schedule (tentative or not) for the following titles:

(01) Dragon Ball: The Saga of Goku Redub (aka the 1st 13 episodes)
(02) Dragon Ball: Movie 01: Curse of the Blood Rubies Redub
(03) Dragon Ball: Movie 02: Sleeping Princess Devil's Castle
(04) Dragon Ball Z: The Great Saiyaman Saga
(05) Dragon Ball Z: Movie 10

And is there any chance that we'll see a release of Dragon Ball Z: Destroy All Saiyans? I know it was part of a video game that never came to America but I've heard that the cutscenes were released on video in Japan back in the '90s.

1-3 still with sublicense. Can't release yet.
4-5 Spring 2005 Broly's back...sort of.

 

[lheiskell]

Are you guys gonna do 16:9 transfers of the shows you have in WS?

Can you say Burst Angel and Baki?

Oh yeah!

That's great to hear. Thanks for passing that along.

 

[lheiskell]

- Are there any plans to bring Fullmetal Alchemist to Canadian TV?
- How about the Fullmetal Alchemist movie? Will that be in theatres?

Don't know yet.
Don't know yet.

Sorry.

 

[lheiskell]

err, I have two more questions

1) Do you have any vauge idea of when the sublicence for DragonBall: The Emporer Pilaf saga will be dropped

2) Are the Sayin and Namek saga's going to be released in box sets or starter sets

And the one that I would Really Really Really like to know

3) Are there ever going to be saga sets for Dragonball GT

1. No.
2. Starter Sets.
3. Not for a long while.

 

[lheiskell]

Questions: (To Do With Nelvana)

Do you guys plan on releasing any other shows from Nelvana?
How many DVDs a year for Braceface and Moville Mysteries will you release?

Yesh. More info on that later.

Sorry folks. I've giving out short answers tonight. Brain is gone. No funny tonight.

 

[lheiskell]

Ok, you guys are my fav dubbing company, love ya all, and I have to ask a vague question that means nothing now but may mean something in the future...So BE READY!!

Any chance of FUNimation being interested in dubbing video game anime? Like...recent series...that arn't over...but when it is...I don't think you can answer this question, but I'm just prepping for the future.

<intentionally vague response>

Yes....prepping for the future

</intentionally vague resonse>

NAH. Pile them on! The more the merrier. Also, can the posters make comments within the threads as well? I don't know if the mods want that or not. It's fine by me. I like the discussion.

 

[Pepperidge]

I think we're all just on the edge of our seats. Watching you answer these questions is, like, Christmas or something.

Wait... I didn't waste my question by asking people stop posting, did I?

 

[Royce]

1.Will Daydream Generation the fifth ending of Yu Yu Hakusho have an english version ?

2. When are Gunslinger Girl,Burst Angel, the Tenchi ovas and Samurai 7 coming out?

 

[KarlOlson]

OK, you asked for it Lance.


TZ Members, fire questions at will. ​

YAY! I don't have to be a mean mod about that now.

 

[Mog]

Wait... I didn't waste my question by asking people stop posting, did I?

Poor Pep. No early X-Mas for you, it seems.

Hmm, let's think.

1) Do you have any idea if AS will be using more than one intro/outro for FMA? I ask this because I heard that AS would be starting with the 2nd opening, but the 3rd and 4th opening totally kick the crap out of the first two. Sadly they do contain too many spoilers to show early, so I can see why they weren't used.

2) As anime fans yourselves (Taking a wild stab there), what titles would the staff (as in not the company itself) like to dub?

OK, you asked for it.


TZ Members, fire questions at will.
YAY! I don't have to be a mean mod about that now.

You do realize you've killed us all starting tomorrow, right?
