Since the consensus is Naruto goes to shit after the Pain arc, why not have it take Shippuden's slot after it finishes there.

Me neither. People sure do bring it up a lot though.
And often I hear people just say it's bad anyway.
From what I remember, Code Geass was the enjoyable kind of bad, where you both question, yet laugh at the decisions made, & I would bet it would be even more hilarious watching reactions to those who've never seen it or forgot certain moments.
I'm trying to remember the last show that was the fun kind of bad. SAO & maybe AgK certainly reached those levels at times, but wasn't consistent.

Was Code Geass designed by Clamp? I remember everyone being long and pointy.
So Toonami Asia posted a dub clip of DB Super I guess?

It's not awful but it's clearly not the FUNimation voices. "Hercule" sounds like Jamieson Price to me. Chris Rager is still doing stuff for FUNimation, so I'd be surprised if this is a clip from the FUNimation dub.

Random IBO fanart I came across since were just talking about the show:

As an aside and reminder, Code Geass already aired on Adult Swim Action and did mediocre. I do think it could do better on Toonami but I doubt the folks at CN would want to try that again. Not saying anyone was demanding it back but I just felt I should mention that
Also yes, for those who haven't seen the show, it starts strong/honest and then jumps the shark so hard it lands on the moon and never comes back down to Earth. Ending is legit though. This is all from memory I should mention.

A LA based dub? That's very surprising. I doubt there will actually be a way to reliably watch this like with most made for Asia dubs.
That's weird. I wouldn't expect prominent VAs like Jamieson Price in a dub like this.

This is nothing new considering One Piece and Inuyasha the Final Act also had an international English dub by Animax.
It's pretty funny though that you can tell they are trying to imitate the Funimation cast.

According to the DBZ Wiki, there's quite a few, especially if you count the original DB. Harmony Gold did one that changed Goku's name to Zero.
Harmony Gold even did their own dub opening for the original DB.

There was also the GOAT, the Big Green dub.
I remember when i was a kid, my mom rented the first Dragon Ball movie with that dub from Blockbusters.

Well, there're a lot of dubs for the various movies and stuff but, here are the major ones I know.
Harmony Gold- DB First 10 episodes(first time dubbed into English and aired in NA in the 80's)
Funi- DB,DBZ,Kai,DBGT,Super
Ocean-DB,DBZ,Kai dub unreleased
Blue Water-DB,DBGT
International Super dub- Unknown currently but I'm going with Animax for most likely.
Why did they have to redub Dragon Soul? The Vic Mignogna version is pretty good.
(they should use the German opening for One Piece, too)

Apparently the DB Super international dub is being done by Bang Zoom. (They did One Punch Man and Hunter X Hunter for Viz among a ton of other stuff)

When Funimation was releasing the dvds in volumes, each volume would have a new cover of Dragon Soul.
That's still rather baffling since that's really the only good version of Dragon Soul, let alone the best one.
Is it similar to HxH where it's the same song (or similar to it but a new verse/version), but new visuals?
You know what, since there are absolutely zero spoilers I'll just post it.
The next One Piece Opening.

I'm curious as to who they got for Goku and Vegeta. It would be hilarious if we ended in a Kenshin/Samurai X situation where the main characters voice is shared between both dubs but I'd be surprised if that were actually be the case.

It's really surreal to have two American companies dubbing Dragon Ball.
Hopefully, someone tapes it because I doubt this will ever get a home media release like the latter half of the Ocean dub.
As silly as this sounds they must have had some backlash from putting Robin in the opening as a crewmember before she joined because they were very careful to not do it for Brook and Franky. Brook isn't a crew member in the opening until the 11th opening just like Franky isn't until the 9th (Current) opening.
It is. I wanted to hear that version on Toonami.
Bang Zoom shows on NuTOONAMI:
Blue Exorcist
Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven
Hunter x Hunter
IGPX
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Man, this is bizarre. Toei must have been talked into allowing another company to dub Super along with Funi, and decided to cover all their bases here.
This just seems like a waste of Bang Zoom's time.

I'm not salty. I'm just saying, why have a second dubbing company do voice work for your show?
Unless it's something ridiculous like, "Funimation didn't want to make a children network friendly dub, so they went to Bang Zoom'.

Hitman 2016 is a fantastic game. Really fun with great level design.
But it's business model is shitty, and if anyone tells you it's not shitty, smack their shit. There's a tab about elusive targets, targets you get one attempt on, and if you fail, it's done. You can only tackle the elusive targets for a brief period too, and as someone who bought the game late, I missed a lot of them. And the tab reminds you that you missed them. There's just a long list of targets I missed that I'll never be able to get.
That's awful.

I can think of a few:
Love Hina (Bang Zoom's worst dub IMO)
Vandread
Fate/Stay Night 2006
The Familiar of Zero (What do you expect when the dub is literally a school project)
Higurashi: When They Cry
Mahoromatic
Love Hina isn't that bad.

It's hard to hate Bang Zoom when they did a pretty good job on Pokemon Origins and Generations
I'd wish they would take over the main series for Pokemon as well since that dub is really terrible.

The dub for Pokemon Generations alternates between good and what happened.
Funny thing, I thought those were two different shows that just happened to appear on this list, then I...looked it up and gave myself a facepalm.

Well, it was good some of the time versus never like the regular anime so maybe that why I enjoyed it more. Most of the flaws seem to be from the voice direction from what I remember in Generations.
Which reminds me that Chris Cason was the voice director for the One Punch Man, and he's the VA for Popo on the Funimation Kai dub.
