Aw, man. I hate complaining. I'm such a positive person, I promise! Replacement opening? Check. As Light Lucario said, this is only the theme song, but it truly doesn't inspire any hope for the dub as a whole. I'll concede that the original Japanese opening isn't great (and too long for a...

^ That's really helpful advice, considering I just bought Donkey Kong 64 yesterday. I had no idea it was so unstable; I had always read that the expansion pak "fixed" everything. Anyway, I want to ask a question before E3 happens and this thread blows up. When exactly does the "HOME" button...

The main site just updated with a ton of new info, including a staff list. Awaiting a full analysis from Jacob soon! :p I'm afraid I'm not very savvy on who's-who as far as animators and art directors go, so the music credit is the only thing I really have an opinion on. Gō Sakabe will be...

Yeah, this is fantastic news. Anyone dismissing this "Legacy Collection" as a half-assed cash-in of the same ol' ports is lacking proper context. GWOtaku covered it pretty well in his post above. This release is a big deal. First of all, the "Anniversary Collection" from ten years ago was an...

Ehhhh, I dunno. I feel like people are confusing the question of "What's the best dub?" with "What dubs do I enjoy?" I have a soft spot for the dubs of Dragon Ball, Digimon, Pokemon, Yu Yu Hakusho**, etc. But they're all bad dubs. The quality of the American voice casting is entirely...

Right? Instead of endless "remasters," I'd much rather be able to just buy a PS4 that has the ability to play these games as they are.

Unshō Ishizuka. *gets shot* I still maintain that Rodger Parsons as the narrator was one of the few things that the dub consistently got right. He's perfect.

Boy, we've been getting a lot of negative Simpsons publicity lately. Over just a few months, we learn that we're no longer getting home video releases and that one of the big six might "possibly, maybe, but we're not sure yet, but this time it might actually happen for realsies" be leaving. I...

I... wasn't aware of a single piece of Doraemon merchandise in America before reading this thread. Even now, a quick Amazon search reveals nothing but imports. This is just... hmm. Actually, wait. Is this just for North America? I know VIZ distributes its properties elsewhere. Those reports in...

November release date? I'm fine with that. This has been an insanely busy year for me, with all of my favorite franchises (Dragon Ball, Digimon, Yatterman, etc.) getting brand new material. I can wait. If it's all going toward giving us better animation and a more consistent schedule between...

Hey, most of my post was about the most recent Japanese episode, y'know. :p With so many episodes building up to the Citron battle, it'll be strange getting back into normal routine. I wonder how far away the next gym battle will be. I'm hoping we'll be able to see some past characters sometime...

And thank goodness for that! Thanks for the reminder. I'll definitely be going blu for seasons 13-17. It's just a shame we couldn't get blu-rays for 11 and 12. I'll have to try my luck with those and hopefully see if I can get them without any scratched discs. I've had real trouble with that in...

I learned over a decade ago that the dub is a lost cause, but... for cryin' out loud. Hoopa's English voice is not okay. Is anyone out there okay with this? Does nobody feel that we deserve better? O_o; Anyway, that Satoshi / Citron battle was outstanding. At first, I was disappointed that we...

I stopped buying them after season ten because of the ridiculous, disc-scratching packaging they adopted for seasons eleven onward. Not the least bit consumer-friendly. I was holding out for a re-packaging, after which I would have happily continued buying them. Very disappointing to hear that...
