    I remember the Harmony Gold dub somewhat.
    couple of other things apparently got in the way of early US success. One of these things is the craptastic timeslots anyone who picked this up would air them in. Where I lived, it would air EARLY in the morning. Like around 5am. I wasn't getting up for school until 6, so didn't know it existed until waking up to use the bathroom whilst my TV was still on and happening to be parked on the correct channel.
    Also, to people way back around the early to mid 90's, both Dragon Ball (Harmony Gold) and the first 13 episodes of Dragonball Z (Ocean dub) obviously appeared to be interchangeable... so not only would the few episodes be aired out of order, but would be jumbled in a mix of both series. And not in a Voltron/Robotech re-edited way, but in a "eh, just show any of these tapes" kind of way. For the longest time, I thought "Zero" and young Gohan WERE THE SAME CHARACTER and it created more questions than answers. Adding to that confusion was the NES game "Dragon Power". My preteen brain was so close to connecting those dots, but it was just out of reach. But being fair, it was way more confusing than it needed to be.
    Thank goodness a few years later, Toonami happened. I was one who was geeked for Voltron, but actually seeing DBZ at a reasonable hour led me to be set straight on some things about the whole of the canon.

  • @koopakape
    @koopakape 7 років тому +47

    Unreal to think how things would've been if this had caught on and I'd actually grown up in the early 90s watching DB and segueing naturally into DBZ later in the decade, rather than the messy situation we got. Still though, those name changes wouldn't have sat well at ALL... Zero is so generic and BONGO? Poor Krillin has it bad enough as it is! Whiskers the Wondercat is amazing, though.

    I had a friend growing up that claimed he had DVDs of the Buu arc, which he bought from a video store in Jacksonville Fl. This was before Funimation released there Dub. He came over once, and I asked him to bring them. He claimed he sold them after watching them or something like that, so I figured he lied about it. There is a chance he might have had a copy of an older dub, but I doubt it. I bet those DVDs would be worth a lot today. I personally think we could use another dubbing company in the US. Funimation is the only decent one I know of, but they still aren't that good. Dragon Ball Super should already have been released by now.

    I might not be a Dragon Ball fan, but I am interested in lost media.
    Harmony Gold also tried to dub 52 episodes of Magical Princess Minky Momo which was a magical girl anime from the 1980s.
    Harmony Gold could had not find anyone to pick up the series, but however it did air in Australia on ATV-10 Melbourne around late 1986 and it was reran on that and its Adelaide station ADS-10 in early 1988. It also aired on RTM2 in Malaysia around the same time.

I think it came on either Saturdays or Sundays at 7:00 am. Do you plan on doing a in-depth video on the Trimark version on the Dragon Ball dub as well?

    Hey geekdom
    I just want to add extra data to your video, this harmony gold version of Dragon ball got a spanish dub here in Mex and it even have the op and end in english and all the names changes, except for Lina who for whatever reason maintained her japanesse name, they even dub the movie. The series got renamed as "Zero y el Dragon magico" (Zero and the magic Dragon?) You can search for it here on UA-cam.
    The think is that I'm not going to say it was a success here because i was to young for remeber it, but the series kept on air for a total of 60 episodes, so we can say that harmony gold at least had the licence for 60 episodes?
    After episode 60 harmony gold or whoever was producing the spanish dub went in a discussion with the studio in charge of.the dub, because they change their minds and want to have the original japanesse names for all the characters and even want retakes of the first 60 episodes and of course the studio neglected because they aren't going to be payed for all the retakes of the first 60 ep
    So again, whoever has the licence moved the series to another dub studio and THANK GOD we got a redub with the original Japanese names and a faithful translation starting from episode 1 of Dragon ball and ending in episode 54 of Dragon ball GT :)

    There's a strong chance that the Streamline Pictures tape was never actually released. I've never seen any images, listings, or heard about anyone owning the tape. The 2 copies of the movie that have surfaced online are both recorded off of its original TV broadcast (one of which having all the commercials still intact). As far as how many episodes they actually dubbed, I believe that they dubbed AT LEAST the first 4 episodes because there was a Spanish dub that was based off the Harmony Gold dub and they dubbed around 60 episodes and the movie 1 and 3 combination. (meaning Harmony Gold had scripted at least that many episodes) and for the the first few episodes and the movie they actually used the edited Harmony Gold masters, sometimes you could hear the English acting and most of the time they had to use their own cheap music to dub over scenes. Later episodes of this dub however are practically uncut and keep the original music intact.

    I have two Robotech figures from the 80's mint on card with the Harmony Gold logo down in the corner. Macross was a good series.

    I've heard some audio clips from this dub before, but I've never seen any full videos of it before (though admittedly, I never really looked that hard). I wouldn't mind checking out a full episode, or even better, that mash-up of the two movies.

    I watch Cartoon Network and not so much Nickelodeon and I can say that the odds of Dragon Ball Super premiering on both networks are very small. Cartoon Network has no action-oriented shows and no, Teen titans go is more about comedy than action. Steven Universe has more action, but the show has a balance of both humor and action, along with emotionally driven episodes. Nickelodeon's only action show is TMNT and is a decent show to watch from what I've heard. Anyway, there are two options for DBS: either broadcast the show on Saturday nights at 8:00 on adultswim to take the spot of DBZ Kai reruns or Toei needs to realize that streaming online is more convenient for their target audience because kids, teens and adults are sometimes not always inside the house at those times.Toei will make money regardless if they stream it on crunchyroll or Hulu since they show DB and DBZ. That's what I think should happen with the English dub when it comes the North America.

    • @dexterslab319
      @dexterslab319 8 років тому

      true i agree but crunchy roll does not have dbz or db and also dbzkai aired on nicktoons

    • @pastapain1866
      @pastapain1866 8 років тому +1

      +senzu kai Oh I know DBZ Kai was on Nicktoons. The reason I didn't mention it was because I don't want dragon ball super to air on Nickelodeon or Nicktoons. Their either edited it to make it kid-friendly since all there animated shows are TV-7, unlike Cartoon Network, who have upgraded some of their show's ratings to TV-PG, or cancel the show after complaints from parents who say the show is too violent. That's what happened to Naruto Shippudden when it got cancelled after 97 episodes on Disney XD due to complaints of the violence on a Disney channel, since they're known for being kid and family friendly.

  • @PowerPackers90
    @PowerPackers90 7 років тому +1

    The thing about the names like Zero and whiskers. I think they were names TOEI came up with. Ken Fukunaga mentions in a interview on i think the 2nd or 3rd season DVD release that the original pilot for their DragonBall dub had those names in it. Why would you keep the old dubs names? And TOEI has a history of giving things English names that dont match what the translation really means. like Zyuranger, the Super Sentai season that became Power Rangers' first season. Was given the English title by TOEI of "Galaxy Rangers". Which is not a translation of Zyuranger at all which would be "Beast Rangers". which makes more since about a show with with a super hero team based on prehistoric animals and nothing to do about space.

    I think I saw one of these episodes once. It was like 5am and I payed no mind to it and didn't care for it. I feel that it was its strange time slot as well as being only on local TV stations that killed it. Thought its probably for the better. Considering how little I can remember of it, I think that shows how lack luster this dub was.
