Probably plays more games than you

jett said:What is this faulconer stuff? Americans didn't get the original japanese soundtrack? That's kinda sad, it's classic stuff man.
I'm really looking forward to this. I like the original DB much more, but this could turn DBZ into awesomeness.
Just for when it aired on TV. The dvds have the Japanese soundtrack.
I was watching an episode of Great Teacher Onizuka the other day and I took a screen cap of the sub saying "Ganbatte! (Good Luck)", but both paint and ps posted a black single layer image (screen-capped from vlc)LAUGHTREY said:Is it so hard to say "Voice actors" instead of "seiyu"?
Just fucking say the word that it means!
It could have been a smash hit...

GT? What is this, "GT" of which you speak? I know of no such thing. You are a silly man.viciouskillersquirrel said:

"koe no haiyū" means voice acting. "Seiyu" was coined/became widespread after the huge popularity burst fueled anime. Since "Seiyu" was coined in the past 20 years or whatever, to me it symbolizes Japanese who do voice acting as a career rather than someone randomly lending their voice.LAUGHTREY said:
Also... people on gaf like to bitch when people say iTouch or something. I bet you would. It's the same thing. Not using the recent coined term.

So the whole series is an hour long?
I would be hyped if this was a complete remake with the character designs from the Buu Arc carrying over for the whole series. Alas, it's not. It's like one step above the FUNi hack job (reframing the crop per scene at least) which is like taking a less painful shit.

Faulconer ftw.
I think the original JP music had a more old school karate movie vibe, which fit just fine. Plus every situation had a theme that actually fit the feelings of the characters at that time. All Faulconer's stuff just seemed to sound the same after awhile. Solid State Scouter ftw.
Faulconer did have his own style which may have seemed like it would sound the same but if you listen closely you'll notice it got a lot different later on after the android saga. The best ones (which sound the same to most people) are of course the fights, but shit, that's what made it so awesome in the first place.Teknoman said:
If this ever comes to US I really hope they let him do his thing. Remixes and new stuff from him would be to good to be true.

There's people on Youtube who edit episodes to take out filler. I was watching those and they're great.
Teknoman said:
That's exactly what I hated about it. There would be some epic shit happening on screen, and the background music would sound so cheesy. It was a huge disconnect. That kind of music works much better for DB than Z, imo.
Teetris said:
His fighting music was awesome (and there was always a lot of variation to them, as you said), but I think his best ones were the individual character themes. He also did a lot of great calm music that I think goes unnoticed, (like Gohan's Innocence or 16's Theme) but they really worked well for their scenes.

that's the first thing i thought, and i knew what it meant!LAUGHTREY said:Is it so hard to say "Voice actors" instead of "seiyu"?

Teknoman said:
Both soundtracks start to get repetitive quickly, however what pisses me off is the English version of DBZ won't shut up with the damned music. There are tons of "quiet" moments within DBZ that play out just fine with no BGM. The English version of that features Falconers droning buttsynth continuously, assaulting your ears relentlessly. It's like FUNimation thought that if something isn't playing every second of the show than something is wrong. It's god awful. Of course, I don't blame Falconer for that, but his stuff becomes grating because of it.
Kintaro said:
That's one of my biggest complaints about Funi's dub. Some of Faulconer's character themes are pretty sweet (Vegeta, Perfect Cell, etc), but the rest of it is non-stop generic buttsynth that never lets up. I'm sure Funi came to that decision through a focus group, and I'd like to punch each of those little children that reacted positively to it right in the face.

I don't get why people bitch when some say iTouch instead of iPod Touch.
But IMO using Japanese instead of english is pretty retarded and weaboo like.
The thing with "seiyu" is that it doesn't matter if it was a recently coined term its Japanese and GAF is an english language forum. So there's no point for pretentious anime geeks here to roll out their J-GAF conversion keikakus.

Nice!
Wasn't expecting an official thread on this.
Even if it's Remastered I hope it doesn't disappoints.

Will there be subtitles? If not, are most of you literally going to watch it without understanding a word?

I have a task for you. Flip your story around and tell me why we say manga when its literal English translation is whimsical pictures and it's definition is comic? Perhaps because... it... implies the Japanese style? As... seiyu implies Japanese voice actors? Anime(taken from the Japanese pronunciation of animation), manga, Seiyuu all support and popularize each other with their unique Japanese influenced terms.Zyzyxxz said:
Coin up and admit you and the other guy just like to bitch about trivial things.
