Re: The Harmony Gold Dub & Broadcast Audio Discussion Thread
Correct me if i'm wrong derek but wasn't the fund-raiser idea brought up back when the aforementioned tape was first discovered, and the idea didn't pan out because HG's lawyers didn't want to work with your small company or something to that extent? Don't get me wrong I'd donate in a heartbeat but...

Re: The Harmony Gold Dub & Broadcast Audio Discussion Thread
Wait...what's this about an audio tape? There's a tape sitting in the Harmony Gold vault with the label of "Dragon Ball" on it. Nobody at Harmony Gold knows what's on it, and unfortunately it's in a tape format that cannot be conventionally played. So the only way to get access to the act...

Re: The Harmony Gold Dub & Broadcast Audio Discussion Thread
Nobody has purchased the audio tape from Harmony Gold yet. It would likely cost $500 to buy the tape, have it baked, and make the audio accessible. That's what Tommy Yune, the President of Harmony Gold, told me about 3 or 4 years ago. I presume the tape is still sitting in their vault. If somebody h...

Re: Dragon Ball's True Genre: We Need to Talk about Wuxia
Hi Kunzait_83, Thanks for the praise. I’m glad that there are people out there who appreciate the hard work that goes into these longer articles. Most of the articles I work the hardest on receive the smallest reaction, while the shorter articles get a larger reaction. Alas, I prefer writing longer ...

Re: Dragon Ball's True Genre: We Need to Talk about Wuxia
I've been working on a reply to this post for the last 6 months. Here's my first of what may be several replies, addressing in particular the issue of Hong Kong comics, and asking Did Hong Kong Comics inspire Dragon Ball ? I learned a lot from reading Kunzait_83's post, but it also sent me down a ra...

Dragon Ball's Cover Culture
Hey everyone, I'm adding an extra chapter to each of my Dragon Ball Culture books to discuss the cultural content of the cover art for each Dragon Ball manga volume and chapter. I need your help finding out some obscure in-universe information. For example, Toriyama's choice of automobiles, East Asi...

Re: The Harmony Gold Dub & Broadcast Audio Discussion Thread
I've been communicating with Kei in private. Long story short, Kei has recorded the audio of about half the tapes, and we're on schedule to ship them to Texas before the end of the year. Christopher Sabat has confirmed with me that he will receive the tapes and is looking forward to having them.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
It wouldn't be the same as the History of Trunks manga, but I can't say more about it without giving something away or opening a can of worms on what it means to adapt an existing work. In short, it would have value to fans.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
Unfortunately the answer is no but yes. I poured 2 years of my life into writing the scripts and giving them my absolute best ideas, draft after draft. It was all in good faith, but now they're taking those scripts and changing them enough so that they feel I don't deserve a writing credit. That mea...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
I'll probably post the scripts on my site as each episode comes closer to the release date.
I may also turn them into a manga and post them online for fans to read, with the help of Malik from Dragon Ball New Age.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
I'd have really looked forward to the future episodes if you had continued writing, DerekPadula, but I am very apprehensive after reading your post about the creative differences leading to your departure from the project. I just don't see how it will retain the same quality if those Dragon Ball el...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
@DerekPadula, i have a question, is the episode 1 a 100% representation of your script for that episode ? i say this because i know that the team couldn´t get enought funding when they tried Indiegogo. No, episode 1 is not a 100% representation of my script, but it's at least 80% there. There were ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
Yes, this took a lot out of me. And it's a bit tough to get back into the groove of writing my Dragon Ball books, which I put on the back burner to invest time and energy into the scripts.
I'm glad you enjoyed episode 1, and thanks for the kind words.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
It'd be easy. Take a practical effect using a real-life capsule prop, throw it, then add a smoke explosion or a CGI poof, with a cut to the object having appeared once the smoke clears. And if they wanted to make the entire thing CG, then all things considered, this is the easiest effect in the enti...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
It is a shame. And the scripts I wrote did have a lot of psychological content in them.
Yeah, Fox does do that.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
For those who are looking forward to episodes 2 and 3 of Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope, I have some news.
I'm no longer the screenwriter of Light of Hope. I've been replaced by another writer who will comply with Robot Underdog's vision for the series.

Thanks, I just tweeted him. He lists a different Twitter account in his Kanzenshuu profile, so I didn't know about this one. We'll see if he replies.

Re: The Harmony Gold Dub & Broadcast Audio Discussion Thread
That doesn't apply to me. We've been working together on this for years. Kei said he would send it if I got Chris' approval, and I did. So now I'm waiting for him to reply.
