Info: Dragon Ball GT: Uncut(?) Canadian Dub

 (Edited)

A friend has been providing me some source for working with this, and it actually looks like (unlike Dragon Ball which was dubbed on a cut and sped-up French master, and Dragon Ball Z which was dubbed, oddly enough, mostly on the dub already done and edited for TV by Funimation) Ocean’s dub of Dragon Ball GT was produced as an uncut dub (apart from episode title cards), and originally even left the OPED in Japanese (as do some European releases of the same series).

I have decided that it may be easier AND more productive to try to fix this dub up, as it appears to need much less work.  But I will source what I can, with a possible mind for making dvdisos, while in the meantime I add it as a third track to MKVs which I already encoded a few years ago from the “Dragon Box GT-hen”.

Of the 64 eps of this relatively “short” series (as far as Dragon Ball goes - DB is 153 eps and DBZ is 291), 2 eps are already completely synched.  I lose the “In another time and space” opening, however.  Title cards having been cut out, I used Funimation’s remixed dub as a source for audio here - it’s the original BGM for the title cards, with no voice over.

The blue water dub has been remastered in low-quality .wmvs with video sourced from the dragon box. I know where to find all 64; the audio is from the tV rip.

Yeah.  It's got some issues other than being a WMV, 320x240, watermarked ("DBZimran") and sourced from mediocre encodes of the DVDs from Spain (which the encoder mistakenly refers to as coming from Latin America)...but I have access to them and have been using them.  Episode 2 that I've done is based on a different, .MP4 source.

THREAD NECROMANCY !!!!!

I presently have a WMV of one episode, MPG of the other 63, from Toonami UK, plus AVIs of 17 episodes (a little over 1/4 of the series) from YTV.  (YTV is better; they edit less.)

As part of a larger project which includes color-tuning the R2s and synchronizing the pre-Dragon Box audio from other sources (the R1s are based on the Dragon Box masters, it seems, but the Canadian dub is not) I will be, eventually, doing DoRs of DBGT - this time, it's going to happen.

I only wish I had better source for this dub...but I'll take what I can get.  At least I have it.

Have you looked on the Kametsu forum, Usotsuki? I recall seeing the Blue Water dub for the whole series posted on there.

^I was going to suggest this myself. I know they have 122 or so episodes of Blue Water DragonBall... though that stinks even worse than GT can.

Would they have anything better than andyscot's MPGs there?

Those were the ones that showed up on I think it was DBUK...
