Funimation

Okay, he's great.

In the aspect of famous 90s TV shows, we know a lot of us who grew up in the 90s or were nerds of the 90s, the Funimation score for Dragon Ball Z is what a lot of people think of now when they just think of Dragon Ball.

But you were OG, boots on the ground, ocean dub, first time it touched over here in the West.

When you got that job, well, first and foremost, hindsight being 2020 with it being such a cultural phenomenon, do you remember that day, getting that call? Like, hey, we have this show that we want to bring over from Japan.

But the score for Dragon Ball is kind of like a character in the show because it is always there.

Like you were saying, like ambient noise, like there is no silence.

at any downtime and what I was saying the point that like I wouldn't know this for sure but let's speculate when Funimation took it over they very much followed that model like the the sound is there throughout so you know we'll say they took it from you I was all set

up to do it they should

Yeah.

Although I will say, Lanny Pator, if Funimation needs another Master Roshi, or a new Master Roshi, I should say, Lanny Pator did the voice of Master Roshi in, well, not all of DBZ Abridged, but most of it.

You want to see how tough

I am? If I try to do Master Roshi's voice, I can't do Mike McFarlane.

Um, Goku was definitely generic sounding, but, uh, old boy who voiced, uh, Vegeta,

Brian Drummond, uh,

Brian Drummond, those first like 60 episodes or 45 episodes before ocean or before ocean dog got off and Funimation took over.

Uh, that was, it was magical.

a villainous long title i know

right it's so ridiculous And, I mean, it's just, like, we don't see those random, like, those random get-go, like, you know, Funimation.

Oh, wait.

Hey, we got the series IP for, like, $200.

I forget what it's called.

It's like, um, in Japanese there's the term for it that they use that, you know, Funimation interprets as city.

We hear, see here as capital.

Mm.

I mean, I, well, that's what I think.

I think it was just a, uh, just a case of we've been using the Funimation cast this whole time.

We're not going to deviate now, so.

Yeah, and it probably would've b- been expensive and costly to get an outsider to join, so.

...

he went on to continue to work for Netflix, so I feel like it wouldn't have been that much of a stretch.

He might be union, though, and you know how Funimation feels about unions.

Yeah.

I

found it on Funimation because they used to have a YouTube channel that you could watch.

It was on one or the other because Saturday night, that's when Toonami swapped to just doing it on Saturday nights.

That's how I saw it.

It's been the most annoying thing because I enjoy having physical media, but the issue becomes...

I've had it, especially when Funimation and Crunchyroll merge.

I lost a bunch of stuff I bought from them.

That was in my digital library that I paid real money for.

I have no idea, but I do know like a lot of people that use their switch for these purposes.

Like whenever I would go to my friends list, you know, back when Funimation was a thing before Crunchyroll took it over, I would see my friends in the Funimation app where I have friends that have like, you know, a thousand, you know, 2000, 3000 hours of YouTube on their switch ones.

Right.

That's just like the device that they use to watch YouTube, you know? So I really hope that some of this does come to the Switch, too.
