You guys are misunderstanding this news.
They have done this before. It's more like the "BIG GREEN" Malaysian dub. It's for the english speaking parts of asia.

Nothing to see here. (excpet we hopefully get another hilariously bad dub)

The entirety of Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z are available in the Funimation DVDS with a 5.1 audio track that has English voices and the original Japanese soundtrack.
Ok I gotta watch all of this.
oh man please don't let it be Sentai
OD PIccolo, Goku, Gohan, and Vegetta, and Tien sound pretty good. Trunks though..yeesh. But what's up with the quality of the voices? it's like they just talked into a mic and that's it.
The Ocean dub is great...
And Chris Sabat based his Piccolo and Vegeta on this performance...
Going to have to cosign this. Its like waking up in bizarro world seeing people legit like Funimation. They were HATED back in the day.
That's because the initial dub they did, they had a very rough transition when they took over. Hadn't settled into the voices/performances. They redubbed over a lot of the rough stuff now, released the show with the japanese soundtrack, and released a vastly superior Kai dub (basing this off comments, I haven't actually seen Kai dubbed) as well.Released dragonbox editions of the series as well. Gaining a lot of goodwill from the fans.
Their dubs are generally good now for any anime.
Oh man, that music is just irritating.
Looking at your avatar didnt they do the english dub of School rumble? I can't imagine how that turned out lol.

Don't worry Funimation has the dub rights for DBZ in the USA as for the Asia dub it's more than likely going to be Animax.
Which isn't much better than Sentai
yeah i didnt realize just how ingrained those voices were to me until i watched Super subbed. In english with different people would be even worse

Seriously? No Funimation dub, no watch. Might as well watch the Japanese dub at that point.
Edit: Oh it could be the international english one as stated...

Oh wow, I remember getting super pissed off after 100+ plus new episodes in a row, the show all of a sudden restarted with the first episode(this happened to me twice when I watched it in syndication). I remember which episode it was too. It was the one where the Ginyu's were testing Goku, and Captain Ginyu notices that Goku has been dodging them using super speed.
Lol, calm down guys.
There's absolutely no way in hell FUNimation isn't going to go straight for a English dub for Super and have the potential to rake in tons of cash when they feel the time is right.
"The upcoming English dub is not ours" =/= "we won't be doing a Super dub."
All signs point that FUNimation not doing a Super dub is absolutely ridiculous from multiple standpoints.

That particular dub (Ocean Group/Saban/FUNi) only ran for 53 episodes (edited down from 67). But yeah, I feel your pain. I remember when it ended and then just looped back to the beginning again (I want to say 1997?)
Man, sometimes that show felt like it went on forever. I guess that's what happens when your local station only airs two episodes a week(one hour block). Although I remember they switched to four episodes a week(two hour block) during the 2nd run.
But yeah, it felt like someone prematurely knocking down your dominos before you finished your line.
That's not the Big Green dub, that's the Speedy dub for Malaysian markets
The Big Green dub AKA the AB Groupe dub was intended for Canadian release, but the plan fell through and Ocean Group got that. But VHS tapes with the dub track were released in the UK. Footage of the Big Green dub
The DBZ Kai dub is very good.
A highlight is Chris Ayres as Frieza (he also plays him in Resurrection F). Anyone that says Linda Young is better is blinded by nostalgia.
You're way behind the current state of how Funi does things now. It's going to have the original Japanese music. As it should. It's not 1999 anymore. Plus it's going to be accurate and well acted like Kai and the new movies are.
They've thankfully gotten away from the old dub as far as possible.

DBZA has transcended parody and become a dub in its own right.

The disclaimer in front of each of their videos says otherwise.

fuckin' called it, man
All you had to do was read the news about the dub last week to figure this out.
Like fuckin, it says in most news articles about it that it's for Toonami Asia, so even if it was a funimation dub, it wasn't going to be coming to america.

Prison School just wrapped up its first season last month and that dub was legitimately fantastic.

Weird, the lines are nearly identical to the funimation dub

Toei has to be the anime company that's leaving the most money on the table. Both with super and the buu saga Kai dub.
They have to know what they're doing. RoF did really good in its theater run, and they had it done really quickly too (even were willing to show a subbed version in Hollywood alongside the Japan release). They're probably just being greedy or Funimation is being cheap.
Hell, Buu Kai only happened because of Kai's success in America.
Toei is probably asking for a shit ton of money I'm guessing. It's crazy seeing the difference of how they handle the films and the tv series though.
Lmao, yeah somethings up with them.

Im just gonna wait for the Spanish dub

fuckin' called it, man
Hell no
i know, which is why im sad super will turn out the way it will
Ah. I just grabbed the first link I found. I have only heard of it from legend.
Eh, they redraw the flaps.
The abridged dub is legit amazing.
Do we actually know what the breakdown is for each part of the world?
I feel like they probably sell more DBZ video games and DVDs in North America than anywhere else... but Japan stomps on us when it comes to stuff like toys, cards, books/manga etc.

Has Funimation dubbed the Buu saga from Kai yet? I've been holding off on of Kai until I could watch it in its entirety dubbed.

This is an English dub for Asia that will never leave asia. This is entirely non news. Funimation will have their own dub.
