How many people will say they said "Saiyan" wrong in this thread? That's actually how it's supposed to be pronounced. The English dub goofed, but it doesn't mean you have to.

And... and this annoys you?

Nah, it's just silly to say that's wrong when there's so many other things that are actually wrong in that trailer.

Eh, the "jin" refers to them as a race of people. "Saiyans" isn't a great choice, but it's not bad. The pronunciation is weird though, maybe if the word was spelled "Sayian".

And yes, we're having this conversation, lol.

You're ignoring the purpose of the name and just going with something phonetically pleasing. The correct name would still be Saiya if you drop the "person". Saiya is an anagram of yasai. At least the English dub attempted to keep some of the humorous names like going with "salt and pepper" keeping "vegeta" and such. You'll notice the chars are named after slugs, fruits, vegetables, clothing in trunks' case "pants"./Bulla being bra/Brolly - broccoli etc.

I know the name puns in Dragon Ball. This stuff doesn't get any more obvious than the 2008 special with "Abo" and "Kado". The added "n" is what I was referring to as not being a great choice. I don't believe it's ever been stated why Funimation went with "Saiyan". But since the word is based on "Saiya-jin" it should've been pronounced "Sigh-an". They've used that pronounciation in a couple of video games (I want to say the first was Burst Limit) but those don't have their audio work done by Funimation.

Anyways, the reason we even got into this conversation:

Ocean dub originally had the rights. Funimation got the rights later on and continued it. They later redubbed the episodes they didn't dub.

Ocean is simply a recording studio. They don't license anything. Funimation has held the North American license for Dragon Ball since at least 1995. They paid Ocean to make that dub, and edited it to fit within the standards Saban (the company Funimation was using to put Dragon Ball Z in syndication) set out. That dub is a Funimation dub. They wrote it, and when they redubbed those episodes with their Texas cast, they used scripts eerily similar to the ones used in the Ocean dub. Though, they did go back and correct some of their gafs.

This isn't a topic I feel like spending much time on, but I think you're misunderstanding this. Ocean never had the rights to it, they were just the voice talent Funimation used early on. Funimation always produced the dub. It's just that at some point (Frieza saga?), they moved the recording in house.

I already regret this post.

Edit: Takao already covered this. I'm tempted to edit this entire thing out and make it something about sports. Hey, did you guys see when that one hockey player checked that other hockey player into the boards? That was rad, right?

They originally dubbed the first 13 episodes of Dragon Ball, and the first movie with a Vancouver cast as well. They sent that to syndication in 1995:

It wasn't popular, so they tried again in 1996 with Z. That proved mildly popular, but it didn't explode until the Toonami debut in 1999. Funimation would then redub Dragon Ball. But Funimation sold off the home video rights to those first 13 episodes+1 movie of Dragon Ball in 1995 for a contract that would last 15 years. An uncut version of that arch wouldn't exist in North America until 2009.

Dragon Ball has a tonne of weird English dubs. The first attempt to the bring the franchise over was in 1989, when Harmony Gold (Robotech people) tried to bring it over. It didn't do well in the test markets. I'm sure renaming Goku to Zero didn't help:

thank god they didn't do that, it would be horrible if the great legacy of sailor moon was damaged in some way.

SM isn't the greatest anime but I still respect it, the creator turned it from one of the most generic and bland magical girl animes (granted, it was one of the first) into something pretty dark and semi-shonen-y. I don't think I've watched more than two or three full episodes but my sister was such a fan she imported the last season on VHS with subs. Seemed like a pretty crazy/dark final arc.

That's credited to Saban often, but IIRC they had absolutely no involvement with that. It's interesting that it uses the same logo the DiC dub did. Speaking of which:
