I disagree. Buu was best in his Super Buu forms. Fat Buu wasn't much of a villain, and Kid Buu was boring. Too bad for Josh he only voiced Fat Buu, and not the vastly superior and more interesting Super Buu.

Seeing your statement, I realize I may have a bad recollection of the show. Was Super Buu talking? It seems to be implied by your message. I only recall Fat Buu talking.
If so, my bad, you can rather read my sentence as "Buu wasn't so bad of a villain... once he stopped being fat..."

Super Buu did talk. The original 'true' Super Buu is kind of simple syllable short sentence type, but once he eats Piccolo and Gotenks (then later Gohan) he becomes incredibly savvy, intelligent, and loquacious. Similar to the Imperfect -> Perfect Cell progression, though IMO Super Buu did it better (TFS version of Perfect Cell aside). Then when they go in and rip everything out, he reverts to Kid Buu, supposedly his 'true' form. That one doesn't really speak at all and is incredibly boring.

I will give Josh this much: his interpretation of Fat Buu is way better than the sub version, as he does the whole 'deadly child' angle that the character is all about, instead of 'generic gravel monster voice' that the subs give him. He's still the inferior Buu compared to Super Buu, though.

 

[Mister Y]

Yeah, so I don't remember it well.
I put it on the fact that it was a long time ago, and I probably recall Fat Buu talking over the other forms because it was annoying.

Fat Buu is the most distinct voice, and also the most potentially annoying. Thus he gets remembered most. Kid Buu is the last one, so people will remember him, too. It's a shame, people who only did a single pass through Buu saga probably remember the best form of Buu the least. (Incidentally, Super Buu is the one who Gohan said "Fight you? No, I'm going to kill you" to, which is one of his more well known quotes.)

Incidentally, there are higher quality uploads of the video now. Anyone have the timestamp?

False alarm there(As in was a normal pass that was behind her back), but it's even dumber, she outright admits PUBLICLY in her story to getting rid of the evidence when the con staff called out to her, she ran to bathroom, ignoring con staff to get rid of the pass. Accusing them as "stalkers and harrassers"

What, do we think it somehow magically flushed itself down the toilet? How embarrassing would it be if it were stuck in the tank still?

We don't know cause this was something she has only just now admitted to doing, the con staff might or might not have gotten it, but I could see the possibility that it might have been tossed. The whole point she basically knows that they won't be able to find the pass now most likely. This is a key thing of liars, and the like, once they let enough time to pass after the incident they will idiotically admit to doing it, thinking that there will be ZERO consequences.

I was just thinking it might be worth looking. But I'm not in the area, and my SRS isn't complete. So...

Most convention center bathrooms don't have tanks, but they have toilet paper dispensers that can be opened with a thin tool such as a key or a file, also the disposable toilet seat dispensors and the paper towel dispensers.

Of course she could have thrown it in the trash because by that point she had been caught and no sense in picking through the garbage.

Also if it was plastic I doubt it could be flushed without causing more problems.

With what they're doing to Kamehacon right now, I can't even blame cons anymore for not inviting Vic. Feels like Dom and her buddies won't stop until Kamehacon is "ground into dust". And Kamehacon is actually run for the fans, a con specifically for DB fans with great guests and other cool stuff (like the props they had, sorry, don't know DB that well), but they don't give a shit. I mean, recently, RocCon had to close its doors for good after Vic was invited and they ran for nine years. They didn't mention Vic in their farewell message, but the timing is suspicious.

Sucks that I don't live in the states. I'd actually try and attend some of the small cons that invite Vic, although I'm not even a Vic fan per se. I feel like small cons would be nicer to attend than big cons anyway.

No one wants to come forward if the career in question is THIS corrupt.

Trust me, if they can do this to Vic, they can do this to anybody.

Emosh put it on Youtube if you want higher quality footage.

Higher quality footage, still low quality thot. And bravo to security for showing such great patience and restraint.

This shit is ancient, If people in a creative industry don't like you you will be pushed out sooner or later.

Where the Funi club fucked up was their attempt to make Vic out to be some Weinstein Horror cow instead of shutting the fuck up and letting the hearsay of Vic being an annoying sex pest and prima donna asshole do the job of killing his career.

Imo, they fucked up because of the tactics.

If they did a simple regular isolation job for Vic away from others in Failmation, start off as pretending to be friendly while slowly becoming more distant and more distant, let rumors spread further of him being a prima donna perfectionist for his work (If he was gonna be a director, they could really hammer this), and get whatever "friends" he had in Texas to full-blown hate him if they played the right cards.

But they didn't do that, they chose MeToo since it's quicker and expected it to be overwhelmingly negative for Vic (In hindsight, Monica's "defense" of DB against that feminist comes off as staging it for good boy points to cash in later), but Monica and Jamie especially fucked themselves over because they kept being cunts who had no existing receipts~ Marchi out of all these bullshit fanfics is the ONLY ONE who has proof because Vic confirmed the story, and even then she was still fucking wrong like the cow she truly is.

If Weebstein went with option one, it would've worked better and he'd not face people calling him out on his Sacred Ointment Couch Club~ The first option would take time, sure, but it would've been the better option than the shitstorm that came and costed these retards so much.

My brain literally fried itself reading that post and trying to understand his logic. I feel like I became dumber trying to understand it.

Anime isn't sjw for including women or gay protagonist when it's done properly nor is it when a western show does it for that matter. Anime is just another medium for telling a story, whatever the creator feels they want to tell, it isn't inherently anything. It's like calling all books sjw or all movies sjw because some are pandering, both are ridiculous statements. The problem comes when you shove in those types of things for the sake of pandering or appearing woke, which is exactly what funi is doing in this case.

Also, his miserable attempt at a "gotcha" doesn't even work because they are entirely different things. People are upset at Funi for taking someone's work and changing some of its message to appeal to sjw/woke crowds, not at a creator deciding to feature women/gay protagonists because that's what they want to do with their story. He's being super smug about drawing a connection that isn't there and doesn't make sense, how can you write something so embarrassingly dumb.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to write this part. It's not that we have a problem with gay characters, dipshit. We have a problem with things getting changed for absolutely no reason that muddy the adaptation and are very clearly only there because the translator has something they want to push.

 

[Mister Y]

Well.
People are talking about how Funimation use their translations to push their agenda.
I'm explaining why said translations are a broader problem, using specific exemples from Funimation.
My message is deleted because It's "off-topic".
I would argue it wasn't...

@Apterigo and @Moguro Fukuzou : I won't reply to you anymore if my message are bound to be deleted, sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[Apterigo]

Not sure who's doing mod work on the thread now that emspex retired, so my apologies go out to whoever's doing it for going a bit off-topic. That being said, this general thread tends to go off-topic whenever things get a bit slow so be ready to delete most of the posts until someone says something stupid on twitter again. Considering the subjects in question are a dub actor and a dub company, the topic of dub quality is going to come up a lot.

Yeah I had a post about the Funi VA's hypocrisy regarding their ecchi dubs compared to them acting spastic about the jellybean joke that got deleted for being off topic.

Sounds like the "stalker" wasn't one, but someone legitimately concerned with the suspicious behavior of some insane con slut.

Also, his miserable attempt at a "gotcha" doesn't even work because they are entirely different things.

Remember, to these fucking pinheads, anyone who doesn't like their low quality shit doesn't just dislike it because it's low quality, it's because they're part of a monolithic group of mouth breathing literal Nazis who get the vapors whenever a movie has a black person in it.

There's a difference between respecting the material and changing it to suit an agenda, you fucking idiot. God, just reading that moron's tweet makes my brain hurt.
