Ask A FUNimation Rep!

[Harlan_Phoenix]

Ok, now an actual question (Amazing!)

Are you legally able to dub the YYH movies that were previously dubbed by U.S. Manga Corps? Just curious.

[FireStarterLE]

ha-cha! Finally my turrrrn!

(if you don't know the answers to some of these, don't trouble yourself by going out of your way to get the answers, they'll come soon enough right?)

ok, all YYH related.
Any idea when the official website will be updated with the new "Three Kings" info?
And with YYH on Toonami, will it keep going till the end, or will there be breaks?

thanks for answering

1. With regards to Tenchi Muyo! OVA 3, do you have an idea of how Funimation will release it? Will it be 2 discs, 3, more?

2. Will the dubbing process for Tenchi Muyo! OVA 3 involve looking at the first two OVA's in regards to matching character personalities and script decisions?
(I hope you don't deviate from the Japanese script too much)

3. Have you already started working on Tenchi Muyo! OVA 3, or will you wait until all the episodes have been released in Japan?

4. Can you tell I'm a big Tenchi Fan?

Lance has said that they're still looking for VAs for the OAV. They haven't started dubbing.

What's the deal with the third YYH ED anamation and the 4ths music, and will it be oppisite for the last saga

I know the answer. The fourth ED animation had an image of Shizuru smoking a cigarrette, which Cartoon Network isn't too big on. So FUNi came up with the idea of splicing the two together instead of re-painting Shizuru's ciggy.

[Nobuyuki sama]

Continuing in Tenchi Muyo! mode:

1. Do you know how many episodes there will be in OVA 3? (General assumptions are "6", although there's been no formal announcement by AIC)

2. Is the lack of extras in the GXP release (esp. when compared to Fruits Basket and Kiddy Grade) due to not having the materials, or not being able to integrate them because of your release schedule?

[bigddan11]

Actually, Pooch, the version of Dragonball aired in Canada and the UK is much, much less censored than the FUNimation version. They even kept in Krillin using Roshi's nosebleed to uncover the invisible man! However, that barely makes up for the fact that the video quality (taken from a French source) is absolutely atrocious, and it has quite possible the worst opening theme I've ever heard.

The FUNi DVD's and uncu VHS's also contain many of the edits that have to be taken out for the CN airing, so they do keep alot of stuff ib they get riddiculed for. you just have to get the uncut version.

"Questions: (To Do With Nelvana)

Do you guys plan on releasing any other shows from Nelvana?
How many DVDs a year for Braceface and Moville Mysteries will you release?"

Yesh. More info on that later.

Thanks for the consideration, despite a response to it.

[Demonic Raven]

When will the box set of YYH Chapter Black be released?

[Will Sturnick]

Are there any plans to license "Prince of Tennis" or Conan's Anime Doppelganger "Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo" ("Young Kindaichi's Casebook" in English)?

When does the sub-license on those Dragon Ball episodes expire?

Who sings the dub versions the Yu Yu Hakusho OP/ED's?

[Chad Bonin]

Thanks for the consideration, despite Knux Five's response to it.

Just because Karl said he doesn't have to be a super-mean mod doesn't mean we will not poke and warn and keep this thread in check. I do not appreciate you pointing out a fault on my behalf (Lance, as Brand Manager for their animé titles, is a specialist in... well... their animé titles).

I'm happy Lance was able to answer your question, and I'm sorry for trying to keep this thread in check, but your attitude is not necessary.

[SirHellsing420]

What are the necessary steps for a person to send an original and copyrighted script to FUNi? How about for dub voice actor?

[lizardqueen]

I've got a few questions:

1.) Will the remaining Yu Yu Hakusho dvds have 4 episodes per disc?

2.) How many episodes will the redub of the saiyan and namek sagas have per disc?

3.) Will the Yugioh uncut releases have the same English VAs?

[Duke]

3.) Will the Yugioh uncut releases have the same English VAs?

They will have the same VAs and the same dub names, just with a more faithful script and original music.

[emw2455]

Lance has said that they're still looking for VAs for the OAV. They haven't started dubbing.

Yes I know, I did read through this thread before posting my questions. I also know that people have told Funimation where to contact most of the origional VA's. My questions have nothing to do with dubbing.

There. I changed 'Knux Five's' to 'a.' No more controversy.

[PowerZord]

I finally have a question for you.

1. Will funimation Release the Whole Series of Yuyu hakusho? i mean You won't suddenly stop?

2. After releasing the whole series, Will you Unleash a Full Series Box contain all sagas?

I know it sounds Imposible, but hey who knows


3. What are funimation editing standards? Will they ever let their animes get away with more stuff on tv?

[Matt-a-Tastic]

Yes thats true, very little other than nudity has been edited out of the english verison

[Matt-a-Tastic]

oh, and another question:

Will you ever release Medabots onto DVD (previsolly only Seasons 1 and 2 were realsed and there were no box sets)

[Conan-san]

That's adv's dept, Matt.

My question.

"What is the Deal with Funimation Brown-nosing the UK? Why does business have to go though MVM instead of any anime being realsased by Funimation themselves?"

[Donald Duck 12]

1. If a network how widespread would it be?

2. Any other Jetix shows you'll be releasing?
