Because 2 especially has the DC2 race which was a pretty big turning point (and shouldn't have been cut from the anime either) Also First Stage was the only season that was cel animation, right? I remember reading about the Second Stage ending problem on the TP DVDs and I think the person who pointed it out said it was easy to tell they replaced the scene because of the cel animation for First Stage. |

Oh it was VERY obvious, I could tell it was Tokyopop's doing right away. And the worst thing is, they stopped giving the "tricked out"/"classic" video options at the end of First Stage, while that DID put a stop to the horrible 80s effects, it didn't give us the option to watch the unedited end. | ||

http://www.datorrents.com/torrent/19655--o...d-battle-stage/ Yeah, it's easy to be confused when the thread creator has little idea what he's ranting about. I wasn't aware that fansub release dates had to coincide with the release date for the original source? Anyway, I'll try to get some screenshots for comparison a little later. I'll use the Tokyopop DVDs for shots from First and Second Stages, and compare them to shots from the R2 DVD of Battle Stage. For giggles, I'll also post shots from the R2 DVDs for 4th Stage, showing the spectacularific letterboxing they decided to do. | ||

Look, all I did was inform everyone about what FUNimation was doing. How cool it was and so on. Then a few people come along asking what they should do withe their TP copies. Then when I gave them suggestions they all went nuts "TOKYO POP IS SO COOL! Its better then the original japanese, so odds are the redub will be crap too" oh yeah... ...and "5th stage!!! WHEN?!??!?!?!?" I was very shocked by this as this was the FIRST and ONLY time I have ever heard anything positive about Tokyo Pop... ...EVER. And this is supported by "Oh Ive been a member longer and have created illegal fansubs that several other groups have already done, so my opinion has more strength" How am I suppose to feel? Besides, its quite obvious that there are way too many immature fanboys on here whove formed a friendship alliance that its not worth fighting. My last topic, I had members suggesting that I be banned because, just like this one, people went nuts thinking the topic was about 5th stage, and then got ticked off when they realized it wasnt. Thats the type of people you have here. Makes me feel like when I do find out about cast lists, and when there WILL be a stage 5, that I shouldnt even bother coming here. ANYWAY... Back on topic...
1)They had to, to get it on TV. And since mainstream children liked it that way, they kept it. Plus theyve released unedited versions. And even though DBZ was their greatest hit, still is, they been pleasing traditional anime fans since Fruits Basket. I cant remember where I heard this, but it was supposed to be americanized. Somehow it wasnt, and the success and fandom led FUNi to create unedited english versions of future shows. They are very good about listening to their fans. 2) I am not sure how CN will take it. Theyve been avoiding anime. Its not good for their demographic. Adult Swim may take it, if theyre willing to pay for it, which I doubt it. I would say this anime would do well on Spike, G4, or even Speed Channel. 3) if they air it on CN, they would have to edit out all the smoking (and theres a lot) I would compare this show to One Piece. One Piece is a show which was once dubbed by a company called 4Kids. They butchered the crap out of the show. Mostly because it had to be Y-7. There was a lot of blood and smoking on this show. Fans hates it due to the annoying voice overs, and americanization of names and other things. Pretty much exactly what TP did to ID. Anyway, just like with ID, FUNi rescued it, redubbed the entire show, realesed everything on DVD (still in progress) and fans were pleased. I have never heard anything negative about what they did to the show other than from purests (who watch everything 100% in japanese original) And of those, they typically were things that couldnt be helped. (blood and cig edits, and the reuse of names due to taking over a 4kids show currently airing on CN) although on DVD, and overseas CNs, they kept everything original, just dubbed it in english This post has been edited by UmmYeahOk on Oct 5 2009, 12:11 PM | ||||

Please show me an actual quote of somebody glorifying the Tokyopop DVDs. The only positive comment I saw was N1 saying the Japanese 5.1 transfer was fantastic, and I agree with that. Prove to me that you actually have some proof here instead of smoke coming out of your ass. | ||

if you're going to answer their questions (bout what to do with the TP copies) at all, maybe you should say something nicer than "microwaving and burning" them..... however much you hated TP, i can assure you they're not the worst. try watching the Malaysian dub once; then you'll know what i'm talking about i can't say much bout this thread that we're discussing here now, since i never got to see the original title you wrote (you told me the title was changed by the mods); but you can't blame people for thinking bout stage 5 when you make threads with titles like "OMG ITS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!" suggesting you be banned? oh come on..... its a common thing in online forums. i've been flamed and warned and almost kicked out of other forums too, because of much more stupid matters than this. if you're rude to other members, this is what you get | ||

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 2 Member No.: 34,075 Joined: Oct 4th 2009 Location: Update Profile | Let's stop bashing TP for the awful job they did on ID and let's think about waht Funimation will do. Since the Eurobeat is retained, would discuss who would voice the cast. I think a few of the TP cast suited the characters (Bunta, Ryosuke) but who do you think will make a good cast. I'm not gonna reply because I haven't thought hard enough on this, but I would love to hear your suggestions. |

Eric Vale (real name Eric Johnson) is best known as the voice of Future Trunks on DBZ. Other major character voice credits include: - Ryuusuke in BECK - Zolf "Crimson Alchemist" Kimblee in Fullmetal Alchemist - Karasuma in School Rumble - Sanji in One Piece (the redub, not that 4kids shit) I personally don't think he would fit the role very well. Ryosuke's voice is quite deep, and isn't gravelly as Eric's is in all of his roles. | ||

I doubt there will be. To be honest, I don't expect this to be anything more than straight to DVD releases. I don't think we'll see anything else until the first DVD hits the store shelves. We can be hopeful for it though... | ||

Move it, bucko Group: Advanced Members Posts: 714 Member No.: 2,311 Joined: Jul 20th 2004 Location: Update Profile | They always announce the cast before. Usually they also upload subtitled episodes on their video player, but the player is region locked and some people from the UK have complained about that. |

Move it, bucko Group: Advanced Members Posts: 714 Member No.: 2,311 Joined: Jul 20th 2004 Location: Update Profile | I don't really know. Usually a couple of months or so after they announce something they put up subtitled episodes on the video portal, I remember a few months after they had licensed Strike Witches they put up episodes. Also, FUNi confirmed recently on a video panel they did that it was all from scratch, which means none of the video issues, and it was going to be a complete recast. And their events coordinator likes Initial D too. This post has been edited by ZeetherKID77 on Oct 15 2009, 01:45 PM |

IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 28,412 Member No.: 1,414 Joined: Mar 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | Although not related directly to Initial D, it seems Funimation is releasing some of their shows on the PlayStation Network and X-Box Live (at least in the US). It makes me wonder if they'd consider selling Initial D Fourth Stage (and others) on them as well. |

Move it, bucko Group: Advanced Members Posts: 714 Member No.: 2,311 Joined: Jul 20th 2004 Location: Update Profile | I think they will. There are quite a few of FUNi's shows on DTO (Download to Own) on PSN and XBL so Initial D should make it on there. God I can't wait for when it comes out.
