Happy 4th of July!! To everyone who's been patiently waiting for our Namek episodes all year, I wanna quickly thank you for your enthusiasm and frequent poking/prodding. I promise, you won't wait too much longer. These episodes were a lot of pressure and proved extraordinarily difficult. Even though we never rushed, it still took us a long time. A day rarely went by when we weren't working on this in some capacity. But it's been a challenge to carefully reverse-engineer a lot of the work and style of the very first in-house FUNimation episodes from 1999. We all flew to Texas and learned some pointers from Mike Smith personally to try and carefully match his style. A lot of things would not have been possible without the months of work and planning we did.
The next batch includes 14 episodes, the bulk of the Namek Saga (45-58). As the editor/planner, I was always careful to try and build off the Ginyu Force episodes backwards, using and phasing out most of our music from the Saiyan Saga, while also trying to deliver new memorable themes on the side. As a result, these episodes were a lot more challenging than we could've ever imagined. But it's important to feel like you could watch these and then get to Ep 68 without feeling like anything changed.
So with that, stay tuned! We're wrapping up the last of it and we'll be putting out fun little trailers and promos to help get you excited!
