I understand Americanization. Like I'd understand if there was an early dub of DB that called Goku Bob or something.
This seems to be the opposite in that they made everyone's names even weirder.

I really hope they can get him back for Super. We Gotta Power is god tier.
Burst Limit and all the Budokai theme songs are pretty ballin too so he's still got it.

Dafuq?
Kageyama is still active, it's just that JAM Project moves far fewer singles than flavour of the month idol group xyz.

The uncut Ocean/Geneon/Funimation dubs of the first three movies are solid work.
That's the original Funimation dub of Z produced with Vancouver based voice actors.

Kai dub is pretty damn good. The narrator/Bulma/Piccolo voices especially.
Also it stays pretty faithful to the Japanese version

DB wiki says they changed it from May 9th to May 13th because in Japan, 9 is considered an unlucky number and they wanted to keep that connotation in the dub.

I actually didn't know that
to be fair I haven't seen much of dbz in japanese, I just recalled krillin's voice being odd. Quite frankly even if the voice is exactly the same for the two it wouldn't feel right at all for krillin, one of the main reasons I can stand luffy is because one piece in general is a lot more cartoony and thus over the top voices aren't nearly as bothersome.
The same VA is also Yajirobe right? Because if it is, that's his best character. Yajirobe was really funny in the original series. I wish there was more of him in Z.
Don't get why they made him sound a bit like a surfer in the dub.

Indeed, he was pretty much infatuated with Goku.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
That sounds awesome, though.
Well, maybe one of the other multiverse gods is a lizard now.

Here's what's known about the plot of Battle of Gods before Toriyama stepped in:
I guess it could be fun if you wanted something more serious, but it seems like it'd be pretty much a rehash of the Baby Saga, with Goku returning to Earth only to find everyone controlled by the new villain.
That evil Beerus likely would have been surpassed by Goku and killed off in the same movie too, since I can't see that kind of character just stopping like the actual Beerus did.

The Beerus we got is amazing and I'm really glad Toriyama stepped in. I love how he is basically a perfect representation of a cat and he's a really fun character and pretty unique among the other Dragon Ball characters.
They actually did it. Well now, ain't that a surprise. I remember oh so long ago when you only heard about anime and manga that DragonBall was being talked about coming over and that the name for Goku might end up being Zero. Of course it never happened. Or so I thought. Go figure.

Oh that's actually kinda interesting, then.
Agreed. Better than just another purely evil villain. His personality is a perfect fit.
Yeah, I definitely prefer this Beerus and want to see more of him in the future.

IMO the only thing that was better in the original script was Beerus being the reason the Saiyans were evil, because I can see it making the Super Saiyan God ritual make sense as a sort of counter-spell meant to reverse the evil or something. In the final version, the ritual just comes completely out of nowhere and is completely arbitrary.
But on the same token, giving another handwave to the Saiyans by saying "oh, they weren't so bad, after all, it was THIS guy who was the cause of that!" would've been even more hackneyed, in my opinion.
It's the main reason I'm glad we got the Beerus we got, silliness of the ritual aside.

Dragonball timeline in the anniversary site...
http://db30th.com/into/into_nenpyo.html
It mentions the new movies and the end of Z, but there's no GT. In spite of the illustrations, it's also not a manga-only timeline, and mentions some of the filler too, like Garlic Jr, although there's a "star" mark for those, separating them from the manga events. However, even so, it doesn't mention GT or anything GT related at all.
So, more evidence that Dragonball Super might take place post-End of Z.

The Saiyan god ritual was silly because it was just some arbitrary thing they could have done like ten years prior and it would have made their lives way easier lol. Spit balling here, but what if instead of a weird Saiyan ritual where they hold hands or whatever, they just say that in order to become a true god you need to have your ki converted by an already existing god like Beerus or Whis? A Super Kami Guru-esque power-up, where your final power level after the boost is completely up to you as an individual rather than the new form itself.
Maybe those few minutes spent trying to figure out how to become a SSJG could have instead gone towards doing some tests of character or something to prove to Whis and Beerus that Goku is worthy of being a god. Some competition between him and Vegeta could have been a lot of fun, fitting the tone of the rest of the movie just fine. Then later down the line Goku could do the same ritual on the other Z-fighters (putting them in the same league omg holy shit) and there would be a gag where Whis gets pissed at him for abusing his powers and yells at him for it or something.
I dunno. I really didn't like the Saiyan thing lol.

I thought about that too, but actually, was there any other point in the story where there were six Saiyans on Earth? It's always been five at the most by my count.

1/ Get Chi Chi pregnant.
2/ Trap her in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a few hours.
3/ ???
4/ Profit!
I guess, though if they knew about it I can only assume Vegeta would whore himself out and be good to go in a year LOL

There's gotta be some kind of side effect to being born in the HTC. Like if you left there finally and went to Earth you'd perceive the universe as being much much slower or something.

fuckin' called it, man
☆ Vegeta starts to special training for become Super Saiyan in the gravity room. The bloomers begin remember the love in sight.
☆ Goku and Piccolo, go to driving school to take the license of Eaka.
Fuck I love google auto translate
It being POST DBZ was never in question. It is literally said it will be Post Z
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
It literally said after the defeat of Buu. Which could be anytime between 5 minutes after they kill him, to sometime between the movies, to after Goku flies away with Oob.
Just like the ROSAT? IIRC in the manga the only limit is 2 days at a time, they couldve used it hella times prior to the cell saga

My point exactly, I'm horrifically impatient about this.
KidA Seven

Well with the RoSaT they justified it a bit by saying spending time in their is torturous and that it almost killed Goku as a kid. Makes sense that they don't use it much.
Maybe in part one, but by the time post Vegeta and Nappa the RoSaT shouldve been cakewalk for any of the Z senshi
NeonZ

It's not 2 days at a time. It's two days overall, two people at a time. The anime didn't change the rules.
You could also throw there the super holy water, considering how by DBZ dying really isn't a big problem, it'd be worth a shot for anyone.

Looking at this
makes me hope that we get lots of new Main Characters, since the old cast does indeed look a bit old.
you know how many shounens are there were you see the characters go from children to grandpas and grandmas?

Super Holy Water is painful and there is no guarantee you will get stronger. Goku's power ups were a struggle man. Gohan got that casual friendly guru and kai power up.

Well Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo haven't aged, and we have the new generation with Trunks, Goten, Uub and Pan, they could also throw in Bra and Maron if they want, then on top of that we have Beerus and Whis. That feels like a good number of characters for the main cast, throw in a few new ones and we're good.

Really? The only characters who are too old in this pic are characters who have long stopped participating in the battles anyway. The Saiyans are still all in top forms, including Pan and Bra. Uub is just dying to be used in a new story.
I think the only one who might be too old is Krillin, but they could pull off a DB Online and have him be the new Turtle Hermit.

The characters ended up younger looking than before in RoF though. I'm pretty sure that if the new show is post EoZ we'll get a small timeskip and everyone (well, specially the humans) will be redesigned again to be younger looking, rather than using the end of Z designs. Kuririn would cut his mustache and go bald once again, and suddenly his wrinkles would vanish alongside those.
