To which I am highly grateful... Saban did enough hacking and slashing to the stuff they did acquire.

And the only people who attended the company's funeral were the priest and the corpse. The priest then spat on the corpse and left without giving a eulogy. |

Thank you. And as for those first 3 movies, that's the best dub you'll ever see of DBZ. |

to true I would prefer FUNi to of used the Ocean Group all the way through the series espically when they started releaseing it uncut very better set of actors in my opinion heck DB is one of the few series I only watched subbed. (Tenchi Muyo OVA is the other)

Disney of Japan and Disney of America=separate corporate entitie! And I doubt Eisner would want to be associated with a cartoon that has topless female cyborgs, by distributing it. But he can still make a little cash on the side because he funded it, so it's a win-win.

Also, they stated, that they are unable to confirm whether or not the original VA’s would be cast from the original. According to them it would be nice to get them for the production, but so far it seems unlikely. |

i wouldnt say that. i know someone who lives in Canada and they get Ocean Group almost all the way into the whole series, and he says most of the voice acting ocean used in Dragonball Z actually sucks as much as well. |

Damn, it kinda sucks that Geneon got Saiyuki Reloaded. I really liked the voice actors on the dubbed version. If Geneon could get the same voice actors then i'd be happy, but since that seems unlikely all i can do is hope.

They couldn't afford Ocean. Were talking about a company that was trying scrape up money to get the DBZ licnese by doing Chuck E. Cheese videos and elementary educational films and depending on what royalties they could get from Pioneers' DBZ distributions. I'm sure after getting the license away from Saban and self-distribution rights seperate from Pioneer, AND having to pay for production expences they had very little left to spend on voice actors. In the end going inhouse was probably the most cost effective thing they could do and in the long run it's really payed off being able to depend on themselves for their VA needs. Emerje |

No. They specifically stated that the original English cast will not be used; this was then confirmed by at least one of the members of the original cast. At the later ADV panel, when I asked for comments on all of this, it was implied that Geneon had an option on Reload as it contributed financially to the production, and chose to exercise it. DLW's exact words were, "Look at the credits on later episodes." |

Now, from one ACEN convention goer to another, I wanted to get your thoughts on some of their titles they have licensed over seas. Mr. Chu was a little shaky on naming titles that they have licenses for, and some may not be suitable for a U.S. release, which is understandable. One title in particular, was Tenjou Tenge. Another, (mentioned by a fan) was Maria-sama ga Miteru. (Which is funny, I don’t remember seeing a Geneon logo at the end of the credits, so I think that’s un-confirmed) Anyways as for my question, given your experience at these panels, do you think we would see a U.S. release on such titles? If so, when could we get a hint of information about their licensing issues? I’ve noticed that they love to give hints, or neither confirm nor deny things. I would really like to see Tenjou Tenge, and if it is true that Geneon holds Maria-sama; I think that would be a nice acquisition. Just wanted to get your opinion on the matter.

AMEN. =P Oh. And on the side note, I'm quite glad Geneon got the liscense. I've gotten nothing but quality from their DVD releases, and I have come to expect the same. Y'know, now, it's hard for me to find the urge to buy something not distributed by Geneon. =P |

During the "This program is brought to you by ______." screen, it does indeed say Geneon. |

[/quote] My *personal* understanding - as a fan, not as a representative of ANN or any other entity - is that Geneon has an option or right of first refusal on the Rondo Robe titles. Which, also, does not mean that *all* of those titles will automatically be picked up for U.S. distribution by Geneon (e.g.: GetBackers, Puchi Puri Yucie, Peacemaker). Nor does it mean that those titles are automatically due for U.S. release. |
